-SR-Nellielsg Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Fishing yes. mining should be enable within 50m of the objective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerGreif2 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 It's to complicated. Search for a group via chat or do it solo. Leeching is a problem yeah but this solution would make things just more complicated and would help no one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiminez_Burial Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Just take screenshots that prove people are at a location known for something else and far away from the bounty and then report them to support. It's a bit of a pain but it's what I do every-time someone is obviously leeching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdunSaveMe Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 No, it wouldn't. This is a bad solution. There is no solution to this problem that doesn't impact people playing the game normally, and leechers are way too rare for that to be worth it.

(PSN)robotwars7 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 leechers happen in Public from time to time, it sucks, but the only way to avoid it is to solo. you could also try and find a clan if you aren't already in one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IIDMOII Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) Seems like a no brainer given how PoE turned out. Could even go a step further and split it into 3 modes; Free Mode = Kdrive, mining, fishing etc. Bounty Mode = rolling, nonstop, level appropriate bounties that scale up over time. No npc or travelling back to town. Simply leave at your leisure. Also hide all rewards until the end so people don't leave or leech mid-bounty. Town Mode = go to town . This needs to be separated from the loop so badly. Doing the elevator, leave group, get new bounty, elevator, lag, wait, OK repeat is frustrating. You actually spend more time idle than actually playing. This becomes especially infuriating when you have a leech boarder.

MysticDragonMage Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 "devs wont bother (lazy argument; can be applied to any topic)." "waste of time (lazy argument; can be applied to any topic)." "just report leecher (could do, but eventually ill run into another)." "play solo (then it feels forced)." "squad up (then it feels forced)." "leechers are not an issue (they are)." these are the six main arguments we get by bringing up this topic and they are getting extremely old. leechers are an issue because they are exploiting the games flaws to get extra loot/standing, which is intolerable in any game and should be addressed for the sake of polishing a player's experience. factors such as how often they appear or whether someone cares for the leecher on their squad does not matter because these arguments vary per person. saying that a person can play solo or with a squad proves that leechers have that much influence on the game mode to a point where they are forcing players to play solo or spend time finding a squad. saying that the devs wont bother or they are wasting there time are WEAK and LAZY arguments because these can be applied to any topic ever on the forum. these are flaws that draw people away which is always not a good thing. i think disabling free-roam gear is always the better and simpler option because DE has disabled gear under certain conditions before. disabling vent kids standing would also not hurt anyone because, like archwing, you should only use K-Drives for travel while a bounty is active. to be safe, dont allow enemies to drop Toroids unless the bounty starts within the basses they drop on. to be fair, once a bounty is chosen on a public session, all players who agreed to join the bounty should be sent to another session while the players who dont remain on the current session. there are players that like meeting others online through a public session on free roam maps, but they dont want to do bounties half the time. ultimately, one of the games core mechanics is picking missions and committing to that mission. players dont pick bounties to fish, mine, preserve the wildlife, or perform tricks. or at least i hope they dont. they pick bounties to do that bounty.

Fair or unfair is a childish concept and has a limited place in discussion like this, first, second, where has it been confirmed that public matchmaking is only pairing people who have bounties? For all we know, when you loaded in, you got stuck with someone who has no interest in a bounty and never took one. Which means you are now dictating how other people play the game. And forced, really? You're in a game where the developers soft your progression, missions, gear, etc. To a certain degree, everything is forced. The reason people always say to make a team when these complaints arise is because it's the best option to keep everyone happy without major changes to the game, simply because you don't want to feel "forced" into being responsible and making a team.

Earlier, I went to the Vallis to go fishing. I'm *pretty* sure that I set my mode to solo first. But the game apparently disagreed, because I'd been zapping Tinks for a few minutes when suddenly people started joining my game. Maybe I forgot, maybe the game glitched. Either way, I was out there first, with NO bounty selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midtarget Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 sure, take away the movement system to move to the bounty area, so you must be using max flight speed iztal blinks to get to the bounty area... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use archwing for combat, scouting, and stealth. My k-drive allows additional mobility even when I have a slow frame while searching for stuff like the timed caches. They are aren't necessary just like having fastest frame, invisibility frame, meta playstyle isn't necessary. They are versatility that that you should be able to choose to use if you saw fit. And I don't feel limiting is a good compromise as it affects everyones playstyle. Whereas leechers only affect some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Lowk721 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Alternative idea, combat zones, areas in the field you need to be in to obtain the rewards as everyone else. Makes sure everyone else is in the same area subject to the same dangers as everyone else. And doesn't cut into people's playstyle options.

(NSW)Evilpricetag Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Tell me, is more than 50% of the players on the forums for this? If a majority of the player base is out there enjoying the game, is it actually a good idea to make changes based on the few? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
