The ganking tonight, while fun, was a disaster as Blazing led us to a dead end and we got separated from Forge for a whole FIFTEEN SECONDS. :argh:

It was still good fun. The grinding to get T4 gear is pretty awful and if you're newly joining just find a buddy to help make it less poo poo because god drat.

And some people think it should be more grindy :negative:

The real ballbuster at the moment is grinding and like we were saying last night the real test is how viable small groups can survive and do meaningful stuff in the later game. Last beta I played basically made it seem impossible which iirc caused Girl Scout Cookies to collapse entirely.

Edit - Oh and the issue with being in what I think was the black zone without a home set seemed to be an oversight by SI that can be relatively fixed easily. Just make a ferry to the starter zones (one way only) or the option to respawn there.

Some of us (Forge, Blazing & myself) ended up joining BAKA because they are basically doing what we were trying to do in red zones but in the black zones and it is a lot of fun.

Plus it gets pubbies mad.

Well there's in-game player mods who have been known to ban/mute your account because you disturbed their precious safespace.

And by disturbed they mean you played the game and PVP'd them.

The game will be dead 3 months after release because they're literally letting select players have special powers and permissions.

When has that ever worked out well?

According to what I've heard people in RT get like player mod roles and can mute/probate people. Which, according to some other people, has resulted in those same guys abusing that power etc.

If you want to kill a community for your game, that's a pretty sure fire way.

Didn't other companies get fined or something for employing "volunteers" and not paying them?

Not sure. I know EVE does the whole "player volunteers" thing but its solely as forum mods and the in-game stuff is limited heavily. Like all the volunteers can do is go in a ship to a battle that is ultra tanky (more so than everything else) and get screenshots for some post about the battle later on. They can't ban you from the forums, or from in-game chat, only GMs do that. The most they can do is remove a post for whatever reason it'd break the rules but even then people abuse it.

friends im all about bandwagoning to hate on si, but if this player mod abuse was happening, wouldnt there be more than hearsay?

feels like someone would type up some threadnaughts on reddit with screenshots or something idk

nvm, its clearly a massive coverup and bercilak is plotting to drive up sales by having whales ban each other and making them rebuy

That's a perfectly valid and reasonable viewpoint. I don't fully believe the stuff I was told, but I'm not shocked if that is what's happening. There's been plenty of previous games that show that doing what SI are doing with player mods is a dumb and bad idea and only screws up your community/playerbase.
