Stealing the Crate

Recommended Posts

I believe that in the past you've noted and fixed the bug where the crate disappears when killing the Outlander with the crate.  But it happened last night to me on Brodalen:  hunted down the guy with the crate, killed him, but when I went to loot him, no crate.

 

Is this still a known issue, or a surprise to you?  Thanks!

Hi there 🙂 to be more specific, the bug that we said we fixed was occurring when someone with perfect timing, kills someone who grabs the air drop at the exact same time - it seems that this was not what you've experienced.

It could be possible that the person who had the air drop destroyed it right before you killed him; maybe he knew he didn't stand a chance against you 😄 

In any case, if this happens again would you be so kind to clip it for us? So that I can forward it to the team and they'd have the chance to see exactly what happened 🙂 thank you, and see you in the Outlands 🍅

Thanks so much - you're right, that weird exact timing of kill while looting did happen to me, and I guess that's what I remember being fixed.

 

I have a clip from last night, but can't figure out how to insert it here.  Can you give me some guidance?  Hopefully the embed below will work.

At one minute, it may be a little long, but I wanted to include the point from when he takes the drop to when I loot him, and then I continued on a bit to show the compass - no crate carrier appears on the compass so I think that rules out the possibility that I was chasing the wrong guy. Oh, and thanks for the thought, but there are few Outlanders out there who fear this looter.  You'll see my lack of shooting skill when you see the clip.

 

Love your game, and looking forward to the next update.  For this particular player, stability in the platform is far more important than new stuff.  I've got plenty of upgrades yet to go on the shelter, and when the challenges get fixed, I'll be plenty happy.  (Of course, I'm wondering what's in the new cellar...)

@AqueductsRCool this is a common practice especially amongst players that dont like anyone else getting anything... sad enough they know they gonna die they take the crate and destroy in their backpack so no one else can have it.. guys will grab crates knowing they have no chance to get out just to destroy it so no one else can have it... lame that its even possible in a game thats design is to loot and get the crates.... 

 

@fOrsythiaa This could easily be addressed by having them make the crates non-destroyable in your loadout?  theres all types of players in this game as some loot some kill some camp... everyone dislikes a different type... but for someone that boosts the lobby with crowns and their sole intention is to try to get crates... spends the round maybe hitting coms to control the drop and then camping the drop.. and some yahoo dashes in and destroys the crates to amuse themselves... seems a lil ridiculous... dare i say unfair...

im not one of those people who camps crates i want to run around loot and fight a lil bit.... and if i grab a crate im going to do my damndest to get out.. and if someone gets me kudos to them... gg...    

 

unfortunately immaturity, respect and good sportsmanship on the internet has been replaced by whining, trashtalking and disrespect as its easy to hide behind a computer screen lol...

Thanks @Bosshawk, before @f0rsythiaa suggested that was an option I hadn't considered it.  I saw him grab it and run to exfil.  But I suppose you could be correct:  my woeful aim did give him an opportunity to destroy it after I first shot at him.  I think that must be the explanation..

 

Too bad! He should have turned and fought.

 

I'm curious to know if you could see the video?  I had some trouble posting it.   I was so flustered by: first the absence of the crate; and second the appearance of the guy with the shotty, I completely ignored the fact that he had the polaroid and I should have gone and got the cache.

 

I guess I was camping the drop, but I don't consider what I was doing equivalent to sitting in a bush by the exfil for the entire encounter.  The circumstance of my spawn and fighting for the safe left me with no position to hit comms, so I had to deal with watching the crate and trying to scoop in or hunt the guy who grabbed it.

 

I agree there is immaturity, very little respect and not much class on the internet, but in general, I find good players on Vigor. It's a part of why I like the game.  Did I have a guy beat me in a firefight and then empty his clip into my body the other day?  Yes. Like getting cut off on the highway for no reason.    Have I  let unarmed looters go?  yes.  Have I been escorted in duos by experienced and talented players who wanted me to take both crates?  Yes.  Karma.

 

See you out there.

Hiya @AqueductsRCool, unfortunately I cannot seem to have a look at the video through the embed from one of your previous comments 😞 could you perhaps upload it on reddit maybe, or you can also try and send it to me on here or on reddit privately so that I can check it out then pass it on to the team 🙂 I hope it's not too much to ask, I'm sorry for the inconvenience this has caused 🍅

 

@Bossshawk I know it can be definitely frustrating when other Outlanders destroy airdrops. Thanks for the input 🙂
