[HF] Notice: Bering gate

[HuggieSunrise]

Since were talking about a hard asset on the map the whole issue of what actually happens is a dev issue... I mean.. whats the big deal?

Since were talking about a hard asset on the map the whole issue of what actually happens is a dev issue... I mean.. whats the big deal?

We want to know why Lead System Developer and Hellfire leader ( @Durandal ) refuses to find a peaceful solution to this problem, where official roleplay conducted by official faction with oversight by developer team, that reached out to many factions and created lasting effect, is partially contradicted by inwards, solo RP in stories forum that didn't involve a single outside faction and later on was introduced as a system change in a form of missing Bering->Hamburg JumpGate without concern or respect for others.

And all we ask is to change the date of the Operation Anvil to a date after Ageira made Scientific Report by Sebastian Hart on Hudson and Bering Jump Gates, thus starting a string of roleplay, known as Hudson Crisis so that it makes logical sense that can be incorporated into lore.

And while we understand that Operation Anvil was done first, at no point was Ageira contacted by Hellfire to organise something more interesting than just a string of stories' posts. Even when Ageira went ingame to conduct the investigation mission, participants encountered a Hellfire ship as Scientific Report by Oleg Nikolayevich Petrov on Hudson Gate describes, nothing was mentioned by the Lord Commander Locklear ( @Durandal ). No opportunity to make interesting roleplay, involving more than single faction, was seized.

As @Durandal said, "Make love, not forum drama.", so we invite you to abide by your words in transparent in respectful way that contributes the community, not a single faction and hurting the other(s). Ageira's goal is to conduct roleplay reaching beyond Ageira. Help us achieve that.

EDIT: Now that you have been linked this message, we are waiting for your response.

I'd rather have RP I dislike remain than have RP retconned. Putting the gate back doesn't just impact you.

If an alternative for it's disappearance other than "The [HF] took it" would be preferable, I'm sure that could be arranged as well.

Edit: OP Updated to reflect this.

LSF smear campaign against Hellfire to paint them as scavengers and opportunist.
As for an alternative explanation, the Cult of Technology stole vital components from the gate, that prevented it's reactivation, and prevented (somehow? Radiation?) Ageira from just simply replacing what was gone.

A suggestion.

LSF smear campaign against Hellfire to paint them as scavengers and opportunist.

I rather like this idea, combined with Ageira having salvaged the gate to repair the Hudson-Hamburg one. It seems to impact the existing lore the least while addressing the core issue at hand, but @SnakThree and @"John Wildkins" should probably weigh in on that.

Came back just to say "don't put the jumgate back, that would generally ruin the Bering of today and cause more Freeport 2 drama".

Bye.

[Reeves]

I hate retcons.

Put the gate back, please.

BGS| Believe that this level of retconning should not happen, as it negatively impacts many other factions, including the RFP, RM, Junkers,Outcasts, Xenos,Rogues, and Battlegroup Harmony. Thank You.

As a member of the RFP| HC, I don´t see any negative impacts on our faction. Especially if the reason why the gate disappeared will just change to originally planned reuse by Ageira. As far as I know, majority if not all Rheinland factions hesitated to officialy acknowledge the "great gate robbery" as valid or directly ignored it, and didn´t use it in any roleplay.

Put the gate back, please.

I don´t see it necessary. I think it was good move to bottleneck traders and send them only through Hudson, it supports piracy at least little. Also Bering as "pirate haven" idea may be interesting, but returning the gate from Rheinland side would make it even harder to work.

[Thyrzul]

To be frank it would be just sufficient to roll with the idea of Ageira salvaging it for parts to use up when they repaired the Hudson gate, doing it secretly while LSF puts the blame on HF would just add some flavor to it.

On the other hand, putting the gate back, just disabled, and pretending it has always been there like that ever since the end of the Lib-Rhein war would kinda achieve the same results (Hudson being a bottleneck while Bering remaining a lawless pirate haven).

I would prefer the simple explanation of Ageira/DSE salvaging it. There is no need to put it back and cause more issues.
