Quote:i feel not many people are going to participate if we all get ganked alot at peak times. So if we can add the Rogues and Hackers just to fix the balance it would be appreciated.
Has it now come to the point that people will only get involved if they get paid?
Rogues, LHs and a few more all have a ZOI within the Event's Boundaries. Can't they just get involved for the RP value or just having fun?
incentive, that's what gets people going.
Only in disco are people supposed to just show up to be happy with mindless pews to a backdrop scenario.
Anyone able to set up a server where they have some real battle scenarios? Why not just have sieges of the separatist bases? Anyhow, they're lucky people are happy with payouts. When that gets boring, maybe people will be able to handle some simple open war scenarios.
I never thought this place could be garbled up by people afraid to actually use the game under a silly argument players cant handle it. This is another event that avoids reality and keeps battles meaningless. I can't believe how many scenarios get thrown away that could all be really cool and interesting immersive war situations. I dont mean to blame those wanting to have the event, and even for events I wonder if its actually what the factions want.
I hate to crap on everything here but literally every event is riduculous to me. Not the scenarios, just the execution. If this is what the factions involved wanted specifically, I take it back. But to me these events are just to avoid putting HP bars on npc bases. Once its done it establishes a precedent, that we could actually fight over the normal bases here. Anyone who thinks thats wrong or bad or shouldnt be done is insane! And working against the best interests of the game.
If factions suck, let them die. Kill them off as enemy forces. Reduce them to a single hidden base or something so the ID can survive if their main bases are lost. If you open up an actual war, maybe then people would flock to the ID's just to have a battle to fight to save something. If they succeed, fine, if not, within a few months they could be replaced by a new idea, or left on the backburner for a while. This is literally the type of CHANGE we need to allow so things arent stagnant. With the new bounty system, good supply routes set up, we'd really be rocking. We could join in these wars and still make credits as we go.
But I wont be online again until, when a war or battle scenario breaks out, you dont have to ask if its real or scripted, and factions will just be presented a scenario and allowed to make actual alliances for actual work and preparation to win their battle.
Principle is the best incentive. Whats the point of all those payouts and becoming an ace if there's no real battle to apply it to? Help win a war, help save a base, or at least buy time for an evacuation for real!
