PR kidnapping, how many times have we been in this situation?

Post by HarryTheGuv'nor »


You know those moments, all squads are full/locked. You need an Uber to somewhere on the map and the driver will communicate by beeping and it isn't until you're in with them that either they haven't got a microphone or they don't speak your language...regardless, cause their game volume is so damn loud or they simply do not understand the importance of your cries for stop, they will take you with them which ends up in many scenarios being a Logi truck on it's way to swallow an enemy TOW missile.

PR community is small and very international, and a lot of players have mediocre English proficiency. So learning 2-3 phrases in Spanish and Russian to use when you see somebody who doesn't seem to understand you at all is a very good idea.
In your case "stop musheenoo" ('stop the machine') could easily help.
Also keep in mind that people tend to prioritize transporting their own squads quickly, and not doing too much catering regarding random blueberries.

The purpose of logi is not to taxi people.

I am the kidnapper. I press people into service as techie or humvee driveby gunners. It's so much fun they dont wanna leave.

Hmm, repeated cries of "stop" really ought to do it I would have thought. It's hardly a cryptic request in a moving vehicle, even without giving the verb an object. :gob_icon_

Well, sometimes you are just at the end of your tolerance and just say fuck it.

Or on the other side of the problem, when I get in a truck, tell everyone nearby on local where I'm going and offer them a ride, people get in. That's fine until we get going and all over the place along the way, especially when it's too dangerous for me to stop, they're demanding that I stop and let them off. Either I ignore them and keep going and they're calling me a retard, or I do stop to let them off and get hit by a LAT, or I try to explain to them why I'm not stopping, which distracts me from the nonstop conversation going on in squad chat... either way, there's good reason why people are hesitant to drive vehicles.

but sometimes it’s really fun the screams asking you to stop as you approach the cache

This is exactly what i do and exactly what happens. These people are obviously less intelligent who are either un-aware of the dangers of stopping without cover for vehicle, even a simple depression where the ground dips. Its annoying when they say "stop, stop, stop" repeatedly like they are deadly stupid serious and assertive as if they are giving an order for you to stop right in that spot. If your mind is in the take orders mode you just listen without thinking, its an active awareness to blindly not listen to suggestions. If they wait to say "stop" when vehicle passes through cover thats ok naturally, because of the vehicles position.

Worse not caring which specific spot of cover for the vehicle to stop at regardless of what happens to that persons playing experience or teams tickets.. Or the third possibility is when they say "stop" they dont mean like right there, right then, they just dont elaborate to "pull into cover then stop for me". I remember stopping one time when this smart guy said stop, we died then he said "I didnt mean like right there". Great learning moment, too bad many people have learning disability and wont examine what exactly it was they did that got them killed.
1 Man per piece of cover, Move cover to cover. In view of each other to save each other by shooting, distraction, division of enemy attention and ammo. 1 man hit per RPG/tank shell/mortar spread formation full time. Edge of cap zone. Use camouflage, police up each others exposure, no man seen sticking out. Scan aggressively with eyes and ears for anything suspect, even for birds disturbed to fly out of trees

But you ruin other peoples experiences that way just because you happen to be the driver. People might want to try something new before approaching the cache or objective having a plan then you ruin that. They might forget what they thought to do never getting the chance again, get so angry with you ruining it they give up cause you just cost another full attempt of ticket cost, it might never get the opportunity to go down the way it would have that particular time. Please learn tactical driving, its concepts in words and what it means in skills then apply it with a sense of pride to keep others alive with that skill. You will be more respected and trusted.

The guy driving reminds me of Swatius Pilot, only the guy in the video is depicted as dumber.. Take care of your passengers folks, they are taking time to play a video game with a 40 seconds spawn timer plus travel time. Dont waste your teams tickets in stupid attempts of things where cooler things could be done, like everyone dis-mounting and spreading out so enemy can **** themselves how many targets are spread out. I imagine that south east hospital cache on Karbala
