Right, before you read further, please read the whole post. It is very obvious when you skim over the first paragraph get triggered and write your reply and it becomes obvious that you did not bother to read through it. And then you look like a mong. Don't be a mong.
Discovery Freelancer is a roleplay community. The server is a PVP server with roleplay elements. One compliments the other. They make up what is Disco.
However, with all this talk about balance, gameplay and other such game-related topics, I am surprised that nobody ever bothered to make the following thread. Are you, if you are more skilled in the pvp aspect of the game, entitled to come out on top?
Before you get triggered too much, this has got to do with what Disco is about. Competitive games such as DOTA, SC2, CS:GO have an easy reply: If you are better, you should win. That is the point of competitive gaming. However Discovery Freelancer is different.
We are focused on the roleplay aspect of a game, not a game itself. Discovery is in fact Microsoft Freelancer PC when it comes down to the technicalities, but it is not what we are here to do most of the time. We are using the game as a PLATFORM for our community. So when it comes to the more competitive aspect of the game, should we balance the game after skill or rather gameplay instead?
All players, regardless of latency, skill or age are all dumped into the same pool of players, something the above mentioned titles do not allow you to do for the obvious reasons. This forces us to work with a highly unbalancable mess of variables. People who are bad at the pvp aspect of Disco want to be able to avoid such interaction or at least to have game mechanics where they can survive them if needed. The people skilled in pvp want to show that skill and that is only fair.
But something that I've noticed during the last feedback thread qq was that people good at PVP think they are entitled to get out on top, because they have spent so much effort into making it to that level. Okay, fair enough. But in that case, shouldn't players who are bad be protected and be just as well within the right not to become yet another statistic for the former?
If you are good, do you have the right to win?
