Passive and Mental

[LuapYllier]

Pretty simple question...

 

Should mentaly unstable players be allowed to go into passive mode?

 

And if yes, should they have to pay for it...maybe costs a little more for each bar of the stat?

[ChrilLe]

An apartheid like system?

 

No f*cking way!

[rickreim]

Most ppl online are mentally passive anyway

They should absolutely be allowed to go passive, it's pretty much the best way for them to get rid of that red dot and if that's what they want then why inhibit their ability to do it? It's a form a repentance and shows they're trying to be better players. I absolutely encourage any player who doesn't want to be a red dot to use passive mode.

I'm a full on psycho, and it was unintentional lol. Self defense, I tell 'ya! It's hard enough to get it to go down without people trying to murder me every two seconds so.. no, I'd rather have passive mode enabled ..it can be exploited by Tank griefers though.

Im not 100% on what Apartheid was all about but my limited understanding is nothing like what I am asking here.

 

My initial thought is that we should not be seeing passive red dots is all. But then if people don't agree then maybe much like calling lester to remove stars costs more based on your wanted level...going passive mode right after ransacking a server with a tank should have a cost.

Sure take away passive mode for Psychos, then they'll just sit in their tanks and blow up your cars all day. Great idea! Any more gems in that genius brain of yours?

[Kracus]

Well it does, going passive means you can't shoot anything. You're basically harmless and any actual psycho isn't going to like that for long and is unlikely to remain passive. People that do will likely be doing it because they don't want conflict and want the red dot gone. Perhaps they learned their lesson?

 

It's unreasonable to not give red dots a way out. Keeping them red and getting hunted constantly is a bit on the unfair side.

 

If anything, having passive mode enabled should make your dot white faster by a couple hours.

Take away passive mode for high Mental State players?

 

I think YOU'RE the mental one here.

 

A red dot gone passive can't kill you, if they get in a vehicle they go back to being a normal red dot, and if they kill someone whilst passive and in a vehicle they lose their passive status.

I don't know why you felt the need to show your snatch but whatever...

 

Tankers inevitably end up on the street respawning. For them to just be able to go passive and stroll over to get another tank seems wrong to me. I am perfectly fine with people disagreeing and providing reasons...that is what discussions are for. Clearly so far most dont agree.

 

And then there is you...SMH.

Lol that's a bit different than making mentally unstable pay for their griefing

[CatchMeTrolling]

No, red dots isn't meant to be a punishment, besides how could I airthrust someone i just pissed off.

[Sussus Amongus]

They should. Some people with a max mental stat aren't even hostile. I got full phsyco from messing with my friends so no.

Instead of taking away Passive from Pyschos, maybe give them a countdown before it activates - and let all other players in the lobby see the countdown - and/or increase the costs for them to go into that mode.

yesterday I went full red in a solo session to see how fast it went up. after a 15minute or so fight with the cops I was full red. joined a public lobby later, & stayed red for hours. I haven't checked yet, but after I spent the night avoiding people hunting me, my mental state went down a half bar. AWESOME!

 

so yes, red dots should be able to go passive.

 

side note: a few friends of mine destroyed some red dot all night, and only one of them was slightly red by the end.
