Keeping civilians away from points

702.0 · Post by **Hippo Congruency** » June 17th, 2011, 5:51 am

More and more civilians are coming to points to scavenge, it is annoying and confusing. I know we are allowed to shoot them but that only makes it more annoying and confusing and they usually shoot back.
If it is possible, civilians in a 200 meters (or whatever) radius from a control point have 10 seconds to drive/run away from the point, if they are too late or decide to stay they get kicked.

This is stupid for the simple fact that points are IC. Also how is a civilian running around for a gun confusing, if they steal big shit you can just kill them or contract them after the point.

It just is confusing.

I know we are allowed to shoot them but that only makes it more annoying and confusing and they usually shoot back.

I am not wasting money placing a contract on a civilian who steals gun drops.

Civilians literally chickenrun around the person with the lowest health waiting for them to die so they can pick their gun up, that is seriously annoying especially when in combat.

Yakuza didn't have such a hard time figuring out a solution a while ago, /ad any civilians near the point will be shot on sight. Just saying

Tried shooting civilians on points, killed a few but they kept coming back so I doubt an advertisement would help.

Yeah. I support this suggestion. Civilians would absolutely annoy everyone at the point.

two possible solutions I can recommend

- only gang members can pick up guns at a point
- guns don't drop at a point

first one, please.

Option two makes it so there's no down-side to using high end weapons like a spas12 because your enemy can't loot and use it against you.

Is there really any need? Just shoot them if they become bothersome around a point.

Zaph you should try fighting at a point with a gazillion civilians around, it is super annoying.

I have many times. You tell them to keep out of the way, shoot them if they don't. They'll get the picture.

Done that, doesn't work, only a few leave.

They usually end up allying with opposing gangs and then other gang leaders say "not my problem." The only way Xiong Mao got civlians to get the picture was hunting them down for like 5 mins demanding 10k and them to not fuck around again and you clearly can't do that at all anymore so yeah. Civilians are untouchable basically and fuck around all they want at this point kinda.

P.S It's mainly arabic players that do this lame shit.

Or the gangs can suck it up.

Honestly civilians at points isn't a new thing, just shoot them.

They'll shoot back. Most of the civilians are dumbs.

xiong mao didnt do that nearly to the extent of what you're talking about. in fact pretty much all families treat civs like ass

points are more like a gang vs gang saying "OoOoO IM BE3TTe3R thAn YoU" if they win, so yeah i see where hippo is coming from. it gets fucking annoying dealing with civs while trying to win a point if you've actually been in alot.
