Bug Killing In Pve

[johnnjlee]

So some guys were running around and getting people to combat tag them somehow (not telling I put it in the exploit forums, look at it).

After some people raged (including me) and demanded that they get their stuff back and for them to stop doing that to new players, they insisted that the ones they were killing should get banned because the players were attacking them, either though they run up to people and get in their face till they attack them while they have combat tagged themselves meaning that they are concious about the combat tagging of themselves and that it bypasses PvP protection. The people who fell for it always start running away while they are getting murdered, not even fighting back, so they did not do this intentionally.

So just wondering, are we all in the wrong or are the people who combat tag themselves in the wrong.

Welp, this glitched out, didn't mean to post here again

Can confirm this works. Just gonna assume it's the same exploit I've seen (I couldn't replicate so I didn't report it, figured it was just a one off thing, but if there are people tagging in PvE than I know what it probably is) done in spawn.

I'd call this a bug over anything, I know how it's being done and not sure if it is intentional.

Silly me for not checking what forum this was in XD

Debating if the player being killed is in the wrong or the other way around

"Creative use of game mechanics". Imo, wouldn't punish any over this. If it's fixable, fix it. If not, we can make a rule on it.

Please make a rule.

Please make a rule.

We will see if it's fixable first, in the mean time - stop attacking people in spawn. Simple fix.

Still, people should know about this, perhaps have a huge broadcast telling people to knock it off.

Moved to bugs.

Definitely intended intentional, they go up in people's faces till they strike them.

Just don't hit them. It really isn't hard to NOT punch someone

I was debating if the attack was intentional

exactly, also the "they insisted the players they killed should be banned" was never said.

but nonetheless this is a vanilla mechanic of minecraft.

i don't think anyone suggested that the killed players should be banned... Just that it's mostly their fault for initiating the pvp

Agreed, I used poor wording.

Irl if some one is in my face I push them away, I tend to forget that this is minecraft

Irl if someone trusts you enough to let you watch them shoot arrows through them, don't punch them for it

 

[johnnjlee]

Its not trust, its a dare
