Title: Why attack Friendly Antags???
Post by: Angeles2099 on October 16, 2018, 01:12:22 AM
This question goes out to those usually with levels of 100 and under (Sometimes over). Why, after a good portion of the match goes by and  you see the Antag not killing and trying to help do you go all out as if your on the verge of death. if you see that the Antag is:
Not killing you or anyone
Helping you with the bomb
Jumping in place
being Idle
Not spawning for a majority of the match
Sometimes ill even go out of my way to message them and get no response.
etc
and still, you still attack??? I mean what?

Do you not want an easier mission or the potential blueprint??
The only reason why I do friendly antagonist mode is cause the Raiders I was Mentoring were forced to play under my MMR which was killing the team. And when I try to lower it I get that shit.

they may have wanted the aleph, without considering what a friendly antag even is or could do for them

Angeles, Do like me: If you're a friendly antag and someone comes and kill you for the 3rd time.
Turn on them and play like a real antag.
Some ppl does'nt understand that we are there only to get Antag afinity for some cards...
yea, i feel your pain

I did man, I was jumping and not attacking but at one but I was like....fuck it. and I killed them. I think for low levels the best option is to not show up at all, there too dull to figure it out.

Because they're traumatized and skittish! Due.

joking aside. Sometimes they do that, but it takes them a minute to figure it out. My problem is getting them to take my aleph once they get all happy that I'm not attacking them and have carried the cargo for them. You want to let them know "TAKE MY ALEPH!" so you punch them once. They get shocked and punch you back but just once. then emote. I give up at this point. SOME players above level 100 though understand, "Oh, he wants us to use his aleph now after carrying the cargo for us." Then they just grab you. You show yourself to them and don't doge as you reapawn and then they get it.

Funny topic though, I always have fun with these situations. :)

Look here's one video where I chose Doldren so as a Friendly Antag I could watch upclose without being attacked by the players. I'm Jumping around like an idiot and then .....yeah. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aeu7VKMJnbA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aeu7VKMJnbA)

Well, that's because you were Doldren, that was your first mistake. Low level players have PTS caused by Doldren and reflexively fight or flight when they see him. lol

I did friendly antag once on In Medias Res, and after gaining their trust, I tried to get them to take my aleph at the final encoder. I accidentally killed a raider and they STILL never attacked me, lol

Yea but as drow said seeing doldren doesnt make people think..."yeah I can trust him" at this point I should just be Iune and keep my distance.

Nope nevermind not even Iune

Aleph or just they don't understand what you are doing...
In most mission when I do friendly antag I run against the objective so they can kill me and overload whatever it is with aleph so the match can end faster XD

Oh Dude! that was you lol. The Ginebra player figured it out but the Valeria was a little bit thick headed which is fine with me.

That mission in particular was fun for me cause I now out of all time realized I could help out by destroying the Shields. Helping out kinda felt like this...

I play low blow as antag. I just like to pull the levers and fuck with people. Only when i am killed by a player do i get a revenge kill. Oh and swear to god if any player showboats or teabags me after getting killing me, your ass is grass i will become unfriendly and gun it for you. You and your team will lose the mission due to aleph running out because i killed that player so many times. lol

I tend to kill Doldrens on sight lol. However if the antag is doing nothing I leave them alone. I've  seen  friendly antags kill players who mess with them. I laugh and keep focusing on the objective. If I'm playing as Ginebra I may blow the a kiss.

I might be guilty of this, but i like freindly antags, i was playing hive and was antaged by another hive, we just kept backflippin for days. Although the others in the team kept killing the hive. I did try to get them to stop attaking but it was no use

I bow a friendly antag and kill him for his aleph.

If an antag spawns and quickly hops around, i hop back and thats pretty much it, we are good. If they stand by an aleph generator and hop around, that means eat me, and I harvest the aleph. Some newer low levels just see red and attack on sight, but most high levels (100+) wont attack unless provoked.



unless they are a dick.

Had that happen to me, a few games ago, all over level 120.
I spawned & sat down & got attacked every time, I hadn't even appeared for the first scene.
In the end, I just ruined their day by attacking back.
