I would like to suggest setting up an auto kick to Leavenworth if any player exceeds 5 ROE in a round. This should hopefully reduce or eliminate people who habitually shoot incapacitated players.

Of course, this is under the assumption that it should be a kickable offense. While I do not intend this post to be an argument about that, I will say that as of now, the DEVS do not want you to violate ROE, especially when done to excess. Whether you argree with the rule is somewhat of a moot point in this issue.

I'm simply suggesting a way to better enforce those who habitually break the rules.

This should be quite a simple change to make in the system. IF ROE > 5 THEN KICKLEAVENTWORTH...you get the idea.

I seriously doubt that the Devs will change something like that which has always been left up to the server admins to decide - even in aa2 it was up to the admins to set the kick level for ROE (except for the obvious "can't shoot anyone on your team in the first minute" rule).

the simplest way to help combat the deliberate incap killers is to raise ROE so that it actively cuts into your honor level - at the moment ROE doesn't do anything - the amount you get is a joke.

Good point...I forgot it being set by server admins. I think the ROE point loss is fairly significant, but that does bring up another point. When there is an actual advantage to having higher honor (rather than just ego) the ROE violations should come down.



...and yes...I am an expert programmer. 1 semester in high school on QBasic will do that for you.

Fist they need to fix ROE. Right now AA3 decides to hand out free ROE cookies randomly. I once got -7 ROE for blowing myself up with nobody around me. I've killed myself plenty of times due to lag rounds and grenades, but never received ROE for it, this one time I did.

yesterday I went to leavenworth on two different occasions for nading myself at beginning of the round, funny thing was the one time I didnt even die it just grazed me... that has to get fixed... because the worst part about that is I had 1st pick for weapons before I got booted and not so good after

doba you need to log that first one as a bug - killing yourself with a nade should no longer send you to levenworth

My guess that if it was the beginning of the round there was probably at least one fragment that hit a nearby friendly...therefore being legitimate ROE.

you would think however you are wrong.. I rush and rush hard.. my team cant keep up.. it was a nade cooked in my hand to be thrown at rushing opfor around the broken down building on Impact, they surprised me by being closer than I thought i let the nade go.. im sure I got one of them but it hit me along.. my team was still loading their clip and no where to be found, although it didnt kill me it sent me to leavenworth anyways.

Where's the screenshot?

I don't think the Army condones suicides. If you feel the need to blow yourself up, please see your superior for information to a suicide prevention program. Unless you're a suicide bomber. In that case, you can't do it twice.

Screenshot had foul language in it, I didn't catch it so a mod edited it out. I don't feel like editing the screenshot so I just fixed my post.

And I didn't mean to kill myself, it was a lag round...

AH!!! Now the truth comes out...if it was a lag round all bets are off. There could have been 10 friendlies around you, you could have been running into a wall, the guys around you could have been incapped....they are all very plausible in a lag round.

All plausible. Even the phase of the moon.

Once I had 3 guys come at me one at a time thru the western balcony approach heading to the pink house on Impact. I had a SAW and shot 1 as another came thru the door. I shot the second as the third came thru. And I got dinged 17 ROE. Matthewr77, can you explain to me why there should be an autokick for that?
