A couple days ago I was on my character Mister M, currently a member of ProtoPharm, and was farming for rare code on TH Bridge with the CityAdmin player Ripperdoc, who also uses the characters Loose Wire, Live Wire, and Silk. A rank 47 ProtoPharm player named [ edited ] attacked us unprovoked and killed us both, despite the two of us having ranks in the high 50s.
This was the second time this player had attacked and killed me in HackNet, and this time I managed to Fraps a short part of it. Unfortunately youtube wouldn't upload it in the original format so I had to convert it, making the clip very low quality.
However the video does not need to be high quality for you to see what disturbs me about it. [ edited ] hits extremely consistenly, 100% of the time it appears. I found the HN weapon difficult to use on a moving target since there's a delay between the time you click the mouse to the time the weapon actually fires. Furthermore [ edited ] hitting me even when her character is facing the opposite direction. [ edited ]I need advice from more experienced players on this.
Here's a link to the clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxzXHCa8toc
I'll try to get a better quality version of the clip uploaded as soon as possible.
This video also raises another concern, there's no consequence to unprovoked killing of friendly factions in Hacknet. Since Hacknet is a battlefield sector there is no SL or sympth penalty for killing players from the same faction or allied factions. I agree that quickbelts shouldn't drop in HN, but there also needs to be some consequence to senseless PKing.
