Team colors for mines

Each team would only be able to identify their own team's friendly mines. All enemy mines would look the same as they do now.

 

If you were able to identify your own mines, you would be able to identify the other teams mines!

Did you think that would of been a possibility? But i certainly disagree with changing the mine colours. Mines will be practically useless if it did happen. It's your mistake in battle if you didn't catch who's mine is which.

 

Hey,

In my opinion, not knowing who's mine it is is what makes mining an art. Best miners, like Kenzer often try to place their mines in a spot where you'd think that it's a friendly one. Have "a couple" of times bumped into his mine thinking that there's no way he was able to place it in our end of the bay already...

Happy mining!

So, like I said before, mines are completely useless if only one team has one?

 

Well, how about weapons? Why our teammates dont die if we shoot them using our weapon? Except if you enable team kill on several games XD

 

mines being of the same color in my pov is a strong part of mining strategy
hell, if it was for me mines should trigger friendly fire

 

I was actually thinking about this too, but I guess they cannot do that because people would troll their own team so much with it

 

It's plane and simple, I do it EVERY day I 0lay this game......YOU SEE A MINE, DON'T GET NEAR IT. If u do then you risk getting killed. There is no need for colors, y'all are just a bunch of babies that need to let go of the tit

 

"Just a bunch of babies" that's rude

 

Devs can u please change the color of napalm flams for friendly napalm? I'm tired of driving around friendly napalm........

 

Same like mines' problem. You need to use other way!

 

Wait if you know if that is friendly napalm, why dont you pass trough it

 

I'm just making fun of ppl, not sure how to txt sarcasm lol

 

.......

 

Just a wild guess Steven uses mines. It's just a suggestion no need to take it seriously.

 

Yeah maybe someone who disagree this idea are those who use mines

I dont use it so automatically i _____ with this idea

 

God just dont run over any mines. Why try so hard to make the game easier? I've lost and won games due to good mine users, its fine the way it is.

 

I use no mines, I run speeder with big torp....i hit mines from time to time and most 1 shot me....i really should be crying about this but it's really not my place to cry....i should just pay more attention to were I'm going....if u cry about mines y not cry about it all? Napalm color, torpedo trail color?(idk how many times I've been hit by a stray torp....if I seen it throwing up diff colored water for friendly I wouldn't have to waist time moving out of its way and focus more on were those colorless mines are)

 

I'm in favor of the idea because I do use mines.

I keep saying this, but why would I care about the color of the mine in terms of blindly running into it? I still haven't really gotten an answer to that. No one is running over mines on the assumption that they're friendly, as everyone in this thread keeps saying. If no one is running into any mines, then who the heck are they killing?

I'm starting to get annoyed because we have a couple of people who say they are running into mines because they aren't sure if they're safe, then a bunch of other people calling them stupid for not avoiding the mine. In the same breath as calling those people stupid, they say that changing the allied color for mines would make mines useless since people would be able to see if mines were safe. That implies that the majority of people who are getting killed by mines are doing it because they saw the mine ahead of time but decided to take the chance. Some people are even saying that it's an integral part of mining strategy.

Which ignores my statement about only one team having a mine user, which is pretty common since mines aren't that popular of a weapon. In that situation, mines can't mix with enemy mines or trick anyone, since the enemy team doesn't have any mines in the first place. Every mine on the field is just yours. No one can possibly be tricked by any of the mines present unless they truly believe that someone on their team had mines and they just didn't see or hear them use it. Are you guys trying to say that mines are only viable on Speeders, since they can zoom to the opposite side of the field fast enough to lay mines that might trick people that have zero awareness of their own team?

Seriously, there's only two possibilities. Either the majority of people dying from mines are running into them on accident, in which case changing the allied color doesn't matter. OR, the majority of people dying from mines are running into them because they think they're safe, in which case using mines is always a gamble since you're relying on the other team bringing one, too. Pick one! If you think the second one is true, stop calling people out for running into mines. Obviously, if they wised up and stopped chancing mines, then the weapon would become useless overnight. Do you want that to happen?
