Passive Mode?

[Madlaggz]

So the general consensus is that people will not be enough players to kill if they're using passive mode... boohoo. Not everyone likes to DM and LVP more than just a DM server. Players like to have fun which includes freeroaming without being killed by someone purely there to up their game stats...

The vote is almost 50/50 so clearly whether the feature was implemented there would still be enough for you to kill if that's your sole purpose of playing. There really is no harm in passive mode being available and I find it quite sad that people are denying others of having a feature which will benefit those who are purely there to freeroam without risk of being killed, sometimes repeatedly as they're considered easy targets.

Shit, FateTrip - I thought with your seniority you'd know the composition of the playerbase better than that. Bohoo to yourself for being such a shitty player you get killed repeatedly since you're an easy target. No fighter is entirely what you're describing. This isn't a question of 'fighters vs freeroamers' - the community is more diverse than that. When I'm ingame I usually do 50/50 fighting and freeroaming. I like to chill and just to cruise, prophunt, chat etc. A stray attack on the streets is normal; fight or flee - that's like encountering a fucking pokémon in wild grass. Sometimes it sucks, sometimes it doesn't but the interaction hapenning in the encounter is a central conerstone to the game; don't remove it. It's essential to both the deathmatching and freeroaming aspect of the server. 

Besides: You're playing a fucking game - if you die, you lose and get to start over. Stop crying about it.

It seems I struck a nerve. Fuck the playerbase, like literally. And you're right it's a game and dying happens but the only people here crying is the ones who only care about their stats in a GAME which have no meaning AT ALL.

Who the fuck on here cares about their stats? This isn't Counter Strike.

but in fact it'll have the opposite effect because new players won't be quitting as soon as they get killed

This, I can see people leaving the server after complaining getting killed all the time.

If a person doesn't want to DM then why force him to DM? (Might want to do something with the blips so DMers know who to ignore on the map)
If a person comes to just chill, drive around have a conversation instead of DMing a person should be free to..


Also to calm the DMers we can only make it available outsive LV (Like the cruise system)

If people leave the first time they get killed, they're probably 12-year olds who just fuck about. If you honestly think the rage-quitting of these types of players is a huge issue, let's make some sort of introductionairy 'god-mode' or something similar to this. No need to take so huge measures as to allow all players to be fucking invincible in a community that's build upon opposition and conflict. 

As I've already stated in my huge-ass reply, removing a fundamental aspect of the gamemode of LVP, dying - that will be a huge hit to the server. Not only deathmatchers would suffer by this. The server will be more passive and individualized to the loss of everyone who appreciates an active community.
