So player disruption of nw, I would like to hear some DEV input on this matter.

I would also like to know why these 2 idiots feel they must ruin the game for everyone else. Also players like this drives off new players and keeps the user base at a minimum. Other MMORPG's out there would have some type of checks in place to prevent crap like this from abuse.

All we need is a few death turrets in the sector.. Should not be difficult to do, nor time consuming.

One thing that is worth pointing out is how the Devs are likely to view this upset. In the short term, I think that they'll sit back and wait to see what happens. In the longer term, if the problem carries on then they've got a bit of a problem, since their income depends on selling subscriptions to VO.

You only get to sell subscriptions to a game that is fair and that people like, and when you have two morons busily disrupting the biggest player-run event on the game, an event that is hugely popular in-game and which you cannot find anywhere else, then you probably have a problem.

As soon as the devs see subscription levels dropping due to HAWK being idiots, then they will act and HAWK is likely to be on the receiving end. When this happens then those lovely catch-all terms and conditions are going to be invoked and I think that peytros is going to get given a choice: behave or begone.

how is Nation War highly popular? at the midweek one there wasn't even an itani team. NW is hosted by TGFT which HAWK is at war with Nation War is also in greyspace which HAWK claims as it's own.

All this thread really sounds like is TGFT crying about people not playing by their rules.

Sorry for skipping the drama, but I want to thank Blech for gunning for me... t'was good having someone shooting the X-1's off my back.

Oh, and nice shot Star Buck.

Peytros, the Itani's weren't there on Wednesday because they were having a guild party. But they're normally there, and it is definitely the biggest player run event in VO, and one of the biggest playerbase catches.

I'd say it reflects the crying HAWK guild's attempt to be righteous in the face of their own stupidity.

The HAWK commander invites newbies into the guild to use them as bait, so that when the new members are held responsible for his commander's actions, the guild lashes out at the rest of the community. Seems like HAWK is feeding its own fire, then whining that people are "personally attacking" its members and whatnot. Grow up, and realize that your logic skills are indeed crap. See my earlier post: you are responsible for your actions. Your actions happen to be ones that piss all but your fellow HAWK guildies off. That comes with consequences.

greyspace which HAWK claims as it's own
uhm... what? lol. nice try at an "RP" excuse there.

As Ecka has already stated he wants this taken care of by us as a community without the help of the Devs. The NW is a player run, player sponsored(TGFT) event that the Devs shouldn't be bothered to police.

HAWK believes that crashing the NW is a big stab at TGFT who they already claim to be at war with. If that was the case these actions would have fit perfectly into an RP war between HAWK and TGFT and other than a little animosity between the two parties life would have continued on. However, NW is NOT! a TGFT event it is a community event that TGFT is gracious enough to provide prize monies too each and every week and as community members it is up to the lot of us to come to a satisfactory resolution to this problem whatever that may be.

Ecka, TGFT any help that I can offer in this matter please don't hesitate to let me know.

HAWK is the worst excuse for a guild I have ever seen. Even THC looks amazing compared to them. Anything I can do to help with the NW, I would be happy, feel free to ask me. I could even guard the sector during the NW seeing as I suck anyway, hehe.

The nw is not a RP event. It's a community event. Disrupting it is not a RP action. It's like if yoda shot me once in-game and I flew over to England and slapped him to get revenge.
May 11, 2009 yodaofborg link
Yer welcome to come slap me anytime mate :)

But yeah, I agree. Peypey, you are a bad bad man!

Annnnnnd locked!

Seriously, though, there are no special rules or protections for "community events." You can't declare that you're suddenly playing your own little mini-game within VO and then cry foul when someone wrecks it.

Avoid them, fight them, bribe them . . . but don't try and deal with valid in game actions through out of game methods. THAT is what would be like getting shot at in game and retaliating by physically attacking the offending player IRL, Ghost.

Ecka:
May I request that you relocate the nation war to a less traveled system? edras or ukari perhaps?

Hawk:
by negotiation, the nation war has received some level of recognition by some forces of grey. namely, that by the nation war formally recognizing the entrance of a grey team, the nation war is allowed to be held in grey space, and that any participating grey team contribute to the defense of said event. these are only the provisional conditions of the negotiations, and are subject to extension. let this serve as fair notice, that in disturbing a nation war that is conducted under the negotiated terms of conduct, you are risking not just the wrath of the superfactions, but also of the regular inhabitants of grey itself. I advise you to express your war tgft in some other form.

I will kill all HAWK.

I see your point Lecter. I really just wanted to reference slapping yoda. =P

Hey, let's have Nation War on Wednesday as usual. However it goes, it can't be worse than not having it. I think that's the best way to say this is a VO community event, not solely TGFT, plus Ecka can have a day off if he wants it!
May 12, 2009 Pyroman_Ace link
Ecka, I'll make sure we bring this immediately to the ONE council and see if we cannot get legislation moving to attempt and help alleviate the problem HAWK poses.

I also agree with Gerty. Not having a NW is allowing HAWK to win. We must endure. Hopefully we can hire out or find willing volunteers to form a defensive perimeter that can deter an assault on the NW.
