Admin Notice: Rules regarding Player Owned Bases

[.Gypsy.]

There is one sad aspect about this thread:

The original proposal in post #1 is well-thought through and I agree with almost everything in it. It is visibly trying to take care of problems that became apparent in the first year of bases. It tries to cater to different player groups, keeping freedom to try things out, while also trying to give an incentive to factions. And I generally think it has very good points and could work really well.


Sorry for the team that spent time on that part, for seeing this thread go down so hard.

Just understand, please, that this is not because of your proposal.
I think a large majority likes that part.

It's the number 96% that wrecked the thread beyond any chance of salvaging.

Good job on the content of the first post. (no irony/sarcasm)
And the optimist inside me says that the number problem can be fixed, when things have become constructive again.

Thanks, Jack. Countless hours were spent by many in the Admin/Moderator/Dev team trying to arrive at a workable solution. We tried to address as many of the concerns from the community as possible, while attempting to not wipe out the efforts of those who already have spent many hours working on their bases. It's an impossible task to please everyone as you are no doubt aware.

That being said, if any adverse game conditions arise from this new rule set, we will adjust them. This includes the community's concerns regarding the shield nerf. We listened to the community regarding the need for rules governing the use of POB's and took action. Discussions will be ongoing concerning the shield nerf prior to its implementation.

I agree with Jacks green statement and Garrett Jax's very reasonable response. I'm hopeful a ultimate solution will be found. Its clear the disco team is working to make most people happy with PoB's, I say most because some you will never make happy no matter what you do, and they are usually the loudest.

I'll be glad when all the changes are done as with all this fighting over everything I don't even like coming here much anymore. I surely attempt to stay out of these kinds of threads and just try to stick to only coming here for when I have RP stuff to post.
