The yacht defence system is ridicolously OP

[GhostlySentinel]

 

 

Alright, yesterday i picked my hydra and gone near a yacht, and all of a sudden, it exploded. There wasnt any missile chasing me , so i thought it was a bug. I retried again and my hydra randomly explodes, AGAIN. It would be ok if it was some sort of SAMS missiles chasing aircrafts and doing crazier turns than the homing launcher, making life difficult for the attackers, but at the actual state its impossible to even fly near the yacht, because you immediately get randomly exploded out of the sky.Rockstar should nerf this system by replacing it with the more reasonable SAM missiles, so avoiding death is still possible. And people should enjoy their yachts on private/solo lobbies, since public lobbies are made for deathmatch.

The system is more of a "passive" mode for people on the boat. An instant kill zone for anybody dickish enough to go very much out of their way to ruin someone else's time is nice, but I could see some people exploiting that. I paid millions to get away from the city's war; It's nice to be able to keep it away.

Says this, clearly knowing there are IO lobbies to avoid FR war... You shouldn't get such 'insta death' defenses in a public warzone. Seems like a more trolling way of dividing the haves and have nots, while simultaneously persecuting anyone taking advantage of FREE ROAM and what can be done there...

"what can be done there" is limited to the point of ruination by people like you and the OP.

It cuts both ways. Freemode means exactly that - Freemode. In the same way you're free to fly about blowing up PV's and people doing freemode events, yacht owners are FREE to stay on their yacht and watch the aircraft debris and griefer tears rain down around them.

 

Don't want to get blown up by my yacht? Don't enter my no-fly zone. Simple. I'm sure as sh*t not going to come after you just because you have a Hydra, don't come after me because I have a yacht.

 

n.b. I have a Hydra on my forward Helipad.

Since when does yacht ownership include ownership of the airspace above/around it? My apartment doesn't get that benefit. My singular garage doesn't either. It's one thing to have yacht defenses, no doubt, but actually trying to justify it's, insta kill ability, to anyone in the vicinity is just asenine.

OP, thank you for your "waah, stoopid C* won't let me grief yacht noobs, teh freeroam izmade for deatchmatch becuz i want it so i will nao kill all on teh land so they will feel my raeg!"

 

I sure had a good laugh.

You aren't going to get any sympathy from the "I hate everything about the jets, they should rot in hell" crowd on this board. They should be able to run around and RPG everything into smithereens, but if you fly a jet at all, you are Satan.

 

Good luck with that though.

Just another person coming on to the forums and expecting everyone to agree with him and being surprised when that doesn't happen. Most people on here aren't assholes, they just want to be left alone and will fight if provoked

[TheLunaticParade]

It won't be nerfed end of story. As far as the whole "You now what you get into when you join public lobbies. Yeah we do, But not every lobby is a full 30 player FR war. It's usually small skirmishes between congregated players. This allows for casual not normally aggressive players to be in public lobbies. That gives them the option of if they want to they can drive etc to these skirmishes and join into the war. This whole mindset of "You're in a public lobby YOU WILL JOIN THE WAR OR WE'LL FORCE YOU TO" is Causing problems. Some players join to watch the shenanigans of the war/ To show off/ To play with random players in public. Not everyone joins with the "FR Death match" mindset.

Me personally, I would have loved if the defense system was by far the most powerful weapon in the game, but if you were really good at flying, you could beat it. I know others aren't going to feel that way though.

Since when does buying a fighter jet give the players full owner ship of everything going on.. on the ground.

 

 

Jet trolls have been annoying the sh*t out of all kinds of players since day one.

 

And now.. all of a sudden they turn their eyes on yachts in water and complain. Ya.. water.. the one spot where no one ever goes but because people are there now its an issue.

 

You get warnings... WARNINGS.. Its not instant.

 

Ive always been anti always on blips due to how easy a jet troll can target players. Welll now the always on blips are working against jet trolls. And its great.

[TheLunaticParade]

Yeah air rights come with the purchase. Listen to Brenden he's Australia. He'll let you know it's MY no fly zone.

Beat what exactly.

 

People on the yacht don`t have time for jet trolls. They have bubbles to splash around in and music to listen too. Go be a pest somewhere else. Its not that complicated.

 

It sits in one spot... one little spot on the water. For it to be OP it would have to be able to chase players around the city

 

So unless this starts happening its not OP and its a non issue..

There's a lot of complaining going on over a non-issue.

Apartments and garages don't have tis for the simple reason that they do not have any outside areas to them. The yacht does.

 

It's not insta-kill, far from it. I've seen people dodge them.

I use those same tears to fill up my hut tub.

And this is core of it. It is actually very difficult, but since you hate it, you just spew nonsense and cry like a child. Your tears are delicious sir.

You bathe in salty, bubbly, human excrement? That's focking gross.

Actually, he doesn't bathe in it, he uses it to waterboard captured jet griefers.

The anti-aircraft artillery weapon system is perfect. It's not impregnable so it's in no way overpowered.

LOL, so because you can't kill folks on the yacht it needs to be nerfed?

 

Let me ask you something, when people call for the jets to be nerfed, do you take them seriously?

 

I'd like clarification before I jump to a conclusion about hypocrisy and all that.

You should have learned the first time to stay away from them. Go take your 3 million dollar jet somewhere else noob.

 

Yeah just fly around the streets and kill peeps like this. The cries through your TV are fantastic.

[Einsteinbomb]

invisible missles eh. how about if R* change the system to a directed EMP blast that kills all electronics causing your ejection seat to malfunction leaving you trapped in your precious Hydra drowning as you sink to the bottom of the sea?

if they do that will you dry your eyes? i very much doubt it. more likely another pointless thread titled "trapped in my hydra, what is this bullsh*t C*!!!!!".

You sir, are a cruel person. But, yes, it would be extremely funny to see this.

I like to pump this through my mic when a jet troll gets shot down by the defense system.

 

 

[Azirah]

Then don't go towards people's yacht? It literally fires off two warning shots like 'back up' then, if you proceed to move any closer, it will kill you - unless you know how to evade. And if you're in a jet, you should already know how to.

 

Nothing needs to be nerfed.. stop whining. & when did rockstar say free roam is a death match? Not everyone wants to run around killing everything that moves. Yes, people like that still exist. Some people want to enjoy the stuff they bought without worrying about idiots like you trying to shoot them down because you have absolutely nothing better to do.

...because you immediately get randomly exploded out of the sky.

That's the point. To keep the owner as safe on their yacht as they would be in their apartment.

 

 

Rockstar should nerf this system by replacing it with the more reasonable SAM missiles, so avoiding death is still possible.

Or you could simply stay the f*ck away from people's yachts. That way, avoiding death would be a lot more possible.

 

 

And people should enjoy their yachts on private/solo lobbies, since public lobbies are made for deathmatch.

True. So continue to "deathmatch" against the yachts' personal defense systems. You'll get a kill eventually. And if you don't, keep trying.

Some dumbasses will never understand. How can someone evade a random explosion is beyond me(dont know what weapon is supposed to be, but the way its programmed it works like a random explosion). Thats my point, the weapons in the yacht should be dodgable.
