Door kicking

[mgce444]

I am here to give you a prime example of why everyone shouldn't be able to simply door kick everything. Earlier this morning I thought I'd hop on, do a little grinding, in the safety of the second floor of the KG barracks. A marine (who has robbed me 3 times since Saturday) door kicked no less than a dozen doors in search of me ( no idea how he knew I was in there) I thought it was a mod being a silly little goose, because there's a couple geese of the silly variety that like to open and close doors to mess around. Plot twist it's this absolute UNIT of a turd that has taken over 100k in product from me in the past week. Had he used lockpicks( as I propose) then I could have known that he had nefarious intent, and it was neither a silly goose nor a fellow KG member. My guard was down entirely as I was very sure that it wasn't someone abusing the hell out of door kick and it was much more likely as previously stated an admin or a friendly, in the clip I'm attaching you can see just how caught off guard I really was.

I can see your issue with the mechanic. I personally think there should be a timed animation like the fishing mechanic (but shorter) to it rather than just the immediate open sound. Make it have some sort of soundclip at well.

Its an mechanic. If you would have the proper security this wouldnt even happen, and if you were to do everything unnoticed like changing cars being sneaky you could get away easier.

Fair complaint, would better just balance this mechanic a litle.

There is a valid reason why only government factions are allowed to use doorkicks. What if there was a raid with 5-6 LAPO units in the Kontinental? Do they really need to wait about 40 seconds to breach a single room worth of doors?

As for your complaint about the marine, he probably knew very well what risks he was taking when breaking into the KG base, and he didn't break any rules. Yes, he may have broken some in-character (IC) laws, but those should be addressed in-character (IC), not by admins. If someone is breaking the rules, it’s probably you, considering I've seen your out-of-character (OOC) messages complaining about being mugged and left detained, blindfolded. You continuously used OOC to mention something that happened in-character (IC). You really need to consider the game you're playing when you get so upset about muggings and losing a bit of money over time.

I think that the fact you can't hide behind 2 locked doors to escape people is a good thing for RP, and if you want to be safe always have a gun on stand by. Making it have a timer or a timed animation brings back the problem of double doors which only open one half which you cannot fit through, and places like the ICC gate which has 2 doors in a row making it nearly impossible to doorkick under a timer system unless no military are online.
