DarkWing - faction feedback - Reverend Del - 11-03-2008
If you are THAT far away, you are out of that fight. There is no set distance because we would be inundated with X.1 and (X-1).9 arguments. But that distance is too far. Do it again and you'll get beaten.
DarkWing - faction feedback - Raekur - 11-03-2008
So does that mean I should screenshot people who fly out to 12-14k and then return?
Because that has happened more times then I can count and they never received any kind of warning.
I have asked SEVERAL times for there to be some kind of distance and the only comment up till now regarding it from an admin was Hoodlums comment of "a pilot knows when he is disengaging".
And as an additional note, Im getting a little fed up with this its ok for everyone else to do something until DW does it then suddenly its not ok.

ok...its time I complained about some irritating things that I see.....
Like the times players insult.......
Like the times some players complain in green chat to me when killed in a fight....
Like the times some players dont leave system when killed but make up excuses why.....
Like the times some players complain about what ships we are flying.....
Like the times that people attack, fly away and disappear off scanner then return and attack.....
Like the times we don't get replies from players before a fight.....
Like the player that posts we should do this and that or leave....of course its not a flame he says:angry2:
I could go on.....
But on seconds thoughts there is no point, it would be just like bashing my head against brick wall

That was mature. Isn't this the "DarkWing - faction feedback" thread?
I really have lost sight of why this thread is even here. Do you want people to comment on how you are acting? You say that it's always the same thing when people post. Why is that? Is it maybe because the same problems are still being encountered?
Every time criticism, constructive or otherwise, comes at you, you either excuse your way out of it, or say "Since other people do it, we will too".
I'm sorry, I'm done here (hide your excitement, please). I've lost all respect for you as a faction. You just aren't mature enough in my opinion to run an official faction. A capable faction leader needs to listen, and to take it with a grain of salt. You're the face (or one of the few) of one of the most controversial identifications in Discovery. You REALLY need some thick skin, and good communication skills for that.
There will always be the stupid people on the server who won't reply to your RP. There will always be stupid people who whine and don't follow the rules. It's unavoidable. That's no excuse for you to act like them in ANY way. You have official status here. You have to show you deserve it. Some of you RP great! Raekur, I've seen you ingame and most of the time, you're a great RPer! Apache, from all my encounters, left a very good impression on me when I was new here.
But all that aside, it's obviously evident that some, or a lot, of you aren't following the high standard of RP here, or aren't doing do consistantly. I really thought that, for once, you took criticism to heart when it was said that you need to RP with your targets prior to attack. Now I hear, from a very reputabls source (Jura here), that you attacked him en masse with no RP? Do you want to improve or not?
I'm sorry, I'm just really disapointed with not only your ingame RP, but how you're handling criticism. This is a topic built so that you can hear what you are doing wrong, and fix it. That's a good thing. And yes, you're getting more flak than most, but that's for a reason. We don't just want to pick on you, we (or I, at least) want you to grow! To improve! All I get is rude comments and immature ones back.
You guys don't want to improve? That really saddens me, and loses respect for yourself as a faction.
DarkWing - faction feedback - DW-Suzanna - 11-03-2008
Orin Hasting.....again you jump in...now that is funny, accusing us of immaturity. I don't recall seeing any "mature" posts from you, about DW. All I see from you, is you jumping into any topic about DW to add your two pence worth. As for respect, you never had any. You never listen to anything we say, just distort what is said. Yes we have taken criticism. Yes we do listen. I am just calling it how it is.

' Wrote:That was mature. Isn't this the "DarkWing - faction feedback" thread?
Yes, Orin, it is a thread where people give Feedback, but it is not a thread made for someone to chase the DarkWings around, like some of us here have done. Honestly, I don't have to wonder why your post count is so high, because you don't get to the game, you just sit here and post, relentlessly, and lead people by the nose and expect to be rewarded for it.
Excuse me from being out of my place and seeming blunt, Orin, but Suzzy and Raekur are doing what they can to listen to the arguments posted against them, and you are simply leading them along, for whatever reason I can't comprehend. Do what you've said before (three times now, I've counted while browsing through) and be done here. You've said more than your fair share.
DarkWing - faction feedback - Orin - 11-03-2008
I don't recall seeing any "mature" posts from you
What? This whole time, I've been trying to be constructive. The only times I've been harsh is when Raekur flames me for it.
None of these are mature at all?
Gotta' say, no hostile intent, I would really like to see more RP out of you chaps.
That's how I started, just as a friendly suggestion. Raekur got all over me (and Xing) for it.
By the same reasoning, an Air Force assault squadron doesn't banter with their targets. What happens when a Liberty Naval group follows that ethic? They get sanctioned for attacking without a word.
This is a game. It's an RP server, but there are certain rules that have to be followed. Whether they follow perfect BH RP or not. You simply cannot attack without a word, and just saying "engage target" is rediculous in my eyes, and has been sanctioned for before. You're not being asked to discuss BH politics with your prey. Something along the lines of: "Blasted pirates, prepare yourselves!" would be great! Have fun with it, mix it up. It's really not that difficult.
This was me trying to reason with you guys on how attacking without a word, in RP for hunters or not, isn't right. This was immature of me? If it offended you or something, I'm sorry, but I don't see how it could have.
It's unfortunate that the DW is singled out more for this, but it's natural for an official faction to be under stricter inspection. Regardless, whether others do these same things or not doesn't give an excuse for everyone to follow suit. Everyone needs to try to grow past these issues, right?
Immature as well, I guess...
<sigh>
All I see from you, is you jumping into any topic about DW to add your two pence worth.
What? There's this topic, which I agree that I have posted quite a bit. Why am I posting here? I'll get to that in a second.
As for respect, you never had any.
No... Actually, I did. Quite a bit, actually. You work effectively as a team in combat, one of your members I flew with quite a bit while I was an LPI, and their RP really made an impression on me, being new to the server then. I have no reason to hate you guys... I don't know why you'd think that. I have (had) respect for you just for the faction you RP! You RP BHG! That's one of the bloody hardest factions in the game to RP. I always admired you guys for doing it. Then I saw some of your actions in game, and I said "Hey, that's not too cool. I'll try and add some constructive criticism, let Suzy know, and hopefully they can shape it up a little." What did I get for that? I'm called immature and flamed for doing so. Oh well.
You never listen to anything we say, just distort what is said.
Again, what? If it's seemed like I've done this, anywhere, please quote it. I'll either explain what I meant, or apologise for something I twisted. I haven't done so intentionally in the least, and I've listened. I don't know why you would say that.
Yes we have taken criticism. Yes we do listen.
But you don't act like it! I'm sorry! Almost every comment thus far has been excused, argued, ignored, or flamed. And after the whole "RP before engaging" thing goes down, Jura's experience appears? Explain how that's listening and taking criticism?
I'm sorry, I just haven't seen that. I want to! I love everyone here on Discovery to death. I just want you guys to adapt and grow. I'm not here to bag on you.
Yes, Orin, it is a thread where people give Feedback, but it is not a thread made for someone to chase the DarkWings around
You know what? I'm not. I try and help, and I'm ridiculed for it by Raekur. Maybe I'm a sucker for punishment! Stupid analogy here, because I don't think I'm some RP god but: Does a doctor stop treating his patient because they hit him when he tries to mend a wound? That's what I'm trying to do here. I don't think I'm better than anyone, no, but the DW has some issues right now. I tried, and am trying, to help them sort it out. If they yell at me for "flaming" them, so be it. I'm not flaming them, mind you, I'm trying to explain what's going wrong, and how and why it can be fixed. Is that bad? I don't get it. Just because I've posted a lot, means I'm being relentless and mean? If someone had this much input to voice about the GMG, I'd love it! I want criticism, because when it comes, it helps you see what's wrong and grow.
Honestly, I don't have to wonder why your post count is so high, because you don't get to the game, you just sit here and post, relentlessly, and lead people by the nose and expect to be rewarded for it.
Lead people by the nose? I don't get why you call it that.
And I've got thick skin. This is the internet, but that really hurts my feelings. If you really want to know why I post so much, and don't just feel like insulting me, PM me and ask. I have a reason... I don't do it just to "lead people by the nose"... I'm trying my best to help. If I'm persistant and blunt, I'm sorry. That's just how I am...
Suzzy and Raekur are doing what they can to listen to the arguments posted against them, and you are simply leading them along, for whatever reason I can't comprehend.
No, you can comprehend it, I'm just some stupid mean guy who likes to sit here and nitpick people. Obviously.
That's just the thing, Jura posts here and shows that they aren't! I wish I saw them trying, but I'm just not.
Maybe an explanation on it? I want to hear the DW's side. Maybe Jura doesn't understand the whole story? (I'm NOT being sarcastic here)
Do what you've said before (three times now, I've counted while browsing through) and be done here. You've said more than your fair share.
I've said that because all I get is flamed and criticized for trying to help... Maybe I should just ignore it and shove off. I want to help... but obviously the DW doesn't want to grow from it... So whatever.
I don't understand. I'm way nicer than most people who have posted here, but I've posted more than them, so naturally I'm the bad guy...
The admins can just come in and silence me now... Go for it, that'll keep the peace... Right?

' Wrote:Well, if I dont use cruise then its not shield running.
Actually, Orin, I agree with Raekur here.
I've been in multi-ship combats where people have had their shields downed, then thrust away to rebuild. In the meantime, while the shield is growing, the furball goes away from the combatant and he ends up several klicks away.
Welcome to furball 101.
Heck, I watched a combat from a distance today where two fighters quite literally started at 5 K from me to my 'right', and by the time it was over, ended up 3K from me to my left - and that was just a 1 on 1.
Anyway, if you're going to give DW constructive feedback on RP - the constructive feedback I would give would be to stay in character when you are chatting. Please don't lol me...
DarkWing - faction feedback - Fellow Hoodlum - 11-03-2008
Orin, suckers for punishment, and martyrs with a cause that no one else agrees with are not really welcome
to continually rant over and over again, on the same subject. It has been stated that is is being addressed,
and I'm sure if it isn't in the future, you'll be the first one to let everyone know.
This is to be kept to a minimum in here from now on.
