Flying Hovercrafts

[Paladin]

I saw a player get the ban hammer for flying a hover craft last night. Not only a server ban but they took it to BA. Could an admin shed some insight on why that is frowned upon and against the rules. And why its such a serious offense to receive a BA ban.

This is a harmless glitch I have watched people do since Naval strike was released. If anything its just a meme really. Any sort of insight would be interesting. Thanks! Happy gaming!

sheesh that's shitty. I mean I understand the why part - it's a glitch that *can* be abused in terms of a sky based spawn point over a flag I guess - I also agree it's harmless .... and it's stupid and fun and difficult to pull off in a live match lol

of all things to catch a BA ban for, this shouldn't be one of them.

Also @Paladin some fun math regarding that glitch:

Wow that is interesting! See I did not think about the spawning. I can see how that can make it a problem. I feel bad for the player he was a regular.

I got the banhammer. This is all I was trying to do was reach the ceiling once successfully.

I'm at least unbanned globally. From Battlefield Agency:

In Rush, on Nansha Strike for example, it makes for a VERY unfair spawn point. Players are parachuting from literally thousands of feet in the air over MCOMs. The other team has no attack boats, and wouldn't even see them if they had any.

Those of you saying this is harmless don't understand the ridiculous altitude these get to. I'm glad it's a no-no.

No I get it man. I guess in the context @sheriffcactus was using it, it's harmless, until the team starts abusing it. In any case, I'm sure the lessons been learned, and no harm came from it, won't happen again etc etc.

But I'm not an admin so it don't matter anyways.

I actually got banned last week for flying the hovercraft as well. Been playing BZ6 for 5 years with over 2,000 hours and no prior issues with admins.

Didn't matter, they banned me regardless. Unfortunately all the BF4 friends I've made over the years play BZ6 so now I don't know what to do.

yeah I saw that dude. it's a damn shame, but I've been telling everyone to not do it since I found out they actually ban for it

I was hoping they'd shorten you to a temp ban ....

I could totally understand them banning if I had a series of warnings about behavior, but literally I'm clean. No history of hacks or trolling.
I've never malevolently tried to ruin the fun in BZ6 either, which is what blows my mind the most.

The presidents name rule was brand new at the time Frank. Many people weren't aware it was a new rule until they were reprimanded for it.

Nope.

Again, after almost 5 years and 2,000+ hours in BZ6 I was reprimanded once for using a president's name. Hardly malicious intent wouldn't you agree?

Feel free to check my stats if you wish since you're staff. I'm just an average player.

The rules apply to everyone. Being regular doesnt give you a free pass.
Im done here.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to piece your chatlogs together. The chat logs provided as well as the short clip are more than enough to warrant the permanent ban you were issued.
The hovercraft glitch provides an indestructible spawn point that makes for an unpleasant gaming experience.

During those 2000+ hours, you've ruined countless games when a hovercraft was an available vehicle.

And out of curiosity: did not one person across all these events say "hey man that's not allowed here"?

Okay, odd question here:

So there's a hovercraft flying in the air. Will AA missiles lock on to it or do you have to kill it with guns?

Interesting. I bet AA missiles will not lock because even if still in the air it is still a ground object in the code.

I understand that, and you guys are in charge so you're free to do whatever you wish.

Right now you're cutting off the hands and feet of people who have eaten a loaf of bread. If that's how you want to run your nation that's your prerogative.

It is still considered a surface target thus the only thing that can lock it is a Javelin/HVM-II (or anything that can lock any target). Problem is, it’s so high up that nothing can lock it or shoot it down. It’s unkillable once it reaches a certain point.

Right now you're cutting off the hands and feet of people who have eaten a loaf of bread. If that's how you want to run your nation that's your prerogative.

No idea what this is supposed to mean lol.
