People who sit in titan escape pods

[dontsh000t]

here's to all those who LOVE sitting in the titan pods admiring the scenery while 6 people are shooting at the pods shouting "go, go, go!". especially when you're sitting in the pod on the side facing the enemy titan with shields down.
had a game like this yesterday, shields were down, i counted 6 people waiting at one of the pods. and no, the guy wasn't the commander. i managed to get some people to use the pods on the opposite side, lucky the titans were rather close.
(i'd upload a screenshot, but my internet is slow today)

maybe the guy is trying to deliberately hinder you lol

[RMcLeod]

they should make the Titan pods like the pod stations in NS and auto launch after a certain amount of time.

[Dtneter]

yea that wud be alot better but with a longer timer instead of like 15 secs? i think 25 seconds wud be better unless you can give me a better reason for instant pop :P

15 seconds isn't exactly "instant". It's well enough time to think about which direction you'd like to launch, to aim and to pull the trigger. Hell, if you havn't decided after about 5 seconds you deserve to be either kicked back out of the launcher or be shot to Mars. :D

Had a guy go as commander tonight moved our full health titan away from the titan everyone was attacking so i made it my mission to punish this idiocy.

But yes the titan pods should have like a 5 second timer maybe with a light system so its like flash flash flash launch, no early launches just titan controlled this will stop any waiting in the pods or commanding from pods. Though if they can do this they can turn the titan gun positions into electric chairs so when the guns get blown up the person driving gets maimed/killed.

Timer should be like PAC grounded pods in NS.

[so1id sn@ke]

Agreed. Shoulda put that in 1.4. too.

Though that would make the patch take even longer......

[Wizrdwarts]

They get assists from the titan gunners.

Those bastards......:mad:

[dontsh000t]

i don't get it. why not sit in a proper titan gun? hell, most people don't stay in the AA seats for long. the AA seats should appeal to those sit-in-the-pod-wait-for-game-to-end people with its infinite shooting...

The ways of tards are mysterious to the rest of us.....

For some reason the titan pods remind me of public toilets?? :confused:

rofl

Thus I find it extremely funny when there are long queues. lol :yay:

but i think there should be a ten second launch timer, they could have an awesome countdown voice to go with it. :D

"Hey you done?!?! Your stinkin' up the pods!"

[Catziggy]

Theres another reason. sitting in the pod gets you kill assists AND you don't get kicked for being inactive!

omg they so do! even tho i dnt knw why either :S

but yeh timer would be good prob around 10-15 unless u r strategically pointing to a place lol

[LtBob26]

That kind of reminds me that in sea maps in bf1942 people would sit in the seats of aricraft carriers and just slowly drive to the edge of the map and park the carrier off the map.

[The Kingpin]

"Hurry up in there! I need to use the escape pod too! I can't hold it in much longer!"

"Hey how do you flush this thing?"

Too... many... jokes...

I haven't really encountered that problem before. Partially because I had no idea the titans had pod launchers on them until a while ago. Server admin can just /kick

[CptainCrunch]

Put RDX on the door and detonate, that should clear out the pod.

Enjoy your landing.

[The Kingpin]

What if its FF off?

[CptainCrunch]

Hmmm, good point Kingpin.

I dont play FF off too mcuh, so I dont know what kills a friendly other than leaving a speeding vehicle and it run into them.

Anyone know something that would do that?

OMG that works?
THANKS A BUNCH! =D

[Sentience]

That's a good suggestion. I obviously can't promise anything at this stage but we'll look into this.

What RDXing them out lol? :laugh:

jk i knew what you meant :D

Well, dont get too excited. Me and some friends were messing around and they did it to me ONCE (not because I was in there hogging, but it was a kill all spree). It may have been a fluke. Try it with some friends when a round is not going and see how it goes. It might need to be placed in a special area.

hmm if you're still around, this might be something worth looking into besides the server crashes >.>

the rdxing thing didnt work for me )=

That's why the toilet theory works so well, they're probably in the pooper IRL.
