Guys... Gamma raids is stupid. and against Lore (You dont see GRNs attacking London planet right? they fight into leeds)
dont be silly and make battles is sigma/omega/omicrons. Im actually will love corsair expansion to omegas/sigmas as reality. that will be fresh and good.
also will reduce complains about NPCs from snub-players that attacks Gamma

This.Will.Not.Work


It's the same way in many other multiplayer games. People do not raid empty space, people raid each other's activity hubs. if you want to move conflict into "neutral" space, you will have to make it an Activity Hub. But then, it won't be neutral anymore.

Yes, you can create events, you can gather few people from both sides and create pre-set battles. it won't really change much.

I'm still wondering what made devs increase distance from Alpha to Gamma, and how were they planning to move conflict into Sigmas. Conflict didn't move into Sigmas, outcasts just died instead, and Gamma got overraided by it's neighbours, while at same time Corsairs got a nice boost in manpower.

(but maybe I just misunderstood Dev's intentions, since I just heard that they wanted to move OC/Corsair conflict into Sigmas. Wouldn't really assume someone of them doesn't understand in-game mechanics.)

One man's "maturity" is another man's elitism.

And one man's elitism over "mature intelligent serious well educated roleplay" is another man's facepalm.

This should never be forgotten.

I am way more bothered by people who over-RP than by any other group. I mean people who say things like "you can't follow me through the jumphole with that lawful ship, navy doesn't know where they are" or the like. To me that breaks RP just as bad or worse as people who say nothing or fly an illegal ship or any of the other things that are complained about. So from that perspective, having a test of some kind probably just gonna make it worse.

Discovery 24/7 Negotiating Tactics:

[Rommie]

Is there any of you that joined Discovery for the first time and was -not- called a lolwut, or labeled as one for the actions you took ingame?

I doubt it.

I was as lolwut as lolwut can be. I was part of an army of lolwuts that raided Delta every day in .84.

Lolwuts are what's keeping this game going. The rules are what separates them, eventually, into members of this community and a flock of players with bad knowledge of the english language, which leads eventually to more problems.

Still, I think the rules are working rather fine at their intended purpose.

I don't think there's so much as a problem of ignorance ("lolwut") as there is a divergence in opinion. Everyone has a preferred way they want the game to play. Most of the time when something goes a different way, people are upset and call the other side a "lolwut". You probably know that anyway.

Yes, there are genuinely ignorant people on the server. The proportion is very small, though, and you can easily pick out from a crowd those with no idea what's going on serverside. Those same people will change rather quickly most of the time, too, if not with a mild redirection then a small administrative action will turn him the right way. Honestly, the contention found all about is not from those people.

Is the population worth it? Singleplayer games are only fun for so long. Sometimes Battlefield 3 annoys me when my team is terrible, but I keep coming back to it. Sure, someone who thinks of RP in a different manner will annoy the spit out of you, but without that challenge you would never play this game.

[12:49:19 AM] Elgatodiablo: You know its nice that you have all that proof and all, Bacon... but I just don't believe you.

[Govedo13]

Theres no problem with "lolwuts". They are just people that are here to have fun. And I bet they are having way more fun at the game than a good deal of the people that use that term.

Just a little something to think about..

I second this- 90% of the times when they got slaughtered they say good fight. When you slaughter some faction players they go to cry in feedback/flood/balance topics.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)

[Bootsiuv]

90% of the wuts are just new players who haven't grasped all the aspects of this server yet.

The entire thing can be a little daunting for a newer player, so I say give em a break.

They'll learn eventually. Those who refuse or are incapable of doing so usually don't last longer than a few months before getting banned or bored.
