Storyline of 4.86 is not realistic at all

[Not Espi]

It was pre-scripted. But for a different final purpose for the Nomad faction, which will now probably change, afaik.

Greetings all,

Again a very good new year to you all!

My bigest isue with 4.86 is not those buggies flying around you but the storyline.

I have never seen a more unrealistic storyline in my life!
It''s completely against most of the actual power balance.

Rheinland smaller in favor of Liberty is yust laughable, they always defeat the Liberty fleat.
even if they are not really trying...
And Gallic invasion in Bretonia??? They dont have the power, will they get it, i am not really shure.
Untill now Galia has been a failure, a beatifull one, but still...
There is almost nobody around there, they need much more connections, like Jumpholes, with the rest of Sirius.

Only the Corsair story is realistic since they have a very big force.

Well, never mind, i still think this is the best game ever!
A big hurray for the ones who make this game such a great one.
Have a good one on the new year and the new Discovery!!

Apparently you don't see many RM vs LN fights. Last time the RM invaded Texas they lost 5 battleships to 4 LSCs.

Silly thread is silly. We don't write the lore based on which faction had more people log on one day, or how many more pvp players are in one faction than another. And we certainly aren't going to penalize the factions that welcome new players to the server into their faction to train them in roleplay and pvp.

The only part I really find stupid is Gallia being all big and bad and stupidly steamrolling in trying to attack people for a centuries old reason.

Rather stupid really.

They're alive now they should be countin' their lucky stars. Who cares what happened 1,000 years ago.

Really.

Other than that the storyline is fine, Liberty and Rhienland had a history of fighting, and the Kusari/Bretonia war was an interesting twist.

Every fight I've been in dureing 2011 the LN won. Either the RM got completely wiped out or RM shouted about how they had won in system chat mid fight and ran away.

The LN has a larger AOI and more assets. And thats even if you exclude player ones.
The LN has more players, not all of them active granted.

Just because you have been in a few fights and RM won them doesn't mean to say that "they always defeat the Liberty <strike>fleat</strike> fleet."

I suggest you read your own factions message dump. That is if they log thier defeats like the LN one usually does.

Really.

Why do you think there is a Council faction?


EDIT: Furthermore, in reality, that reasoning is really just an excuse by the royalty to justify their invasion. The invasion is really intended to gain more territory and resources, to increase the power of the royals.

Looks like Mr Torrance missed out on an enourmous event.

Sure, looks like I did. But one or even two enourmous events don't change the facts of daily in-game player activity. But I'm not going to argue about that, cause IF storyline would be based mostly on what players do in-game it would be a mess too, I know.

It's just funny that, for example, everyday you have to RP your character who respect the power of Nomads and even may be a little affraid of them, when in-game you barely see ONE Nomad snub or gunboat at a time. Just sayin';)

P.S. I wanna see the whole Nomad fleet, so please let me know about the next enourmous event:P

[Camtheman]

Why do you think there is a Council faction?

Because if Gallia only had the few pirate factions to deal with they'd steamroll them too.

Wouldn't be very fun.

It would be like being poor ol' Bretonia.

The invasion is really intended to gain more territory and resources, to increase the power of the royals.

That's far more straightforward and signifficantly less blatantly stupid.

Are there rumors saying that around Gallia or?

Because that would be fantastic to know IRP.

Ah, really nice to see this again.

That´s why i love Discovery, everyone is realy involved and really cares.

Well, the Nomads defeating the Order is very realistic, since the Keepers are very strong, one of the best teams around.

And the LN defeating Rheinland in Texas, haha, well, ofcourse in years of combat there always be an exeption. maybe in Texas it´s different sometimes, but Hamburg...
And... i am there for shure, so i know.

Ofcourse a storyline can go a different path then actual gameplay and power balance.
An it is probably even going to effect in what way the gameplay is going to evolve.
So i really appreciate the effort.

But it´s not a silly comment, i think, (scratches his head ....is it??)

Last four times I was in Hamburg during an LN vs RM fight, LN won those too. Even with constant reinforcing by RM.

RM also completely failed to stop the resupplying of Battleship Westfalen by LN and Lib Corps. I was a merc working for them then, and RM never even got within CD range of the transports.

Your logic doesn't make sense, and there is no way we're going to build the storyline around how many people a faction can log in. Keep in mind, in lore, the LN and RM have thousands and thousands of pilots. We don't have that here on the server, so that doesn't work. It's impossible to accurate factor in player activity into a storyline, so we don't.

You obviously haven't seen how many turtles have died to an inferior fleet.

Missi is our saving grace:cool:
