Discussion for Coalition Players: Would you like to be Raided?

[Nika]

You're not doing anything in Rheinland, your faction is as dead as RM are, you run to Bering or log off at the very sight of RHA logging on and you want ZoI extension to where they will be your main opponents?

If there is still semblance of logic with the developers and game masters you won't get that - what you essentially don't deserve.

A very good point, Ironblood. Server activity is definitely worth motivating across factions.

I've personally been a bit inactive lately. Been up in Copenhagen and considering my options with the Royal Navy whilst working on my writing career. It's been quite intense. Fortunately I've got some time now to devote to the Unioners - some Unioners like Anton and Rickla have been logging ingame and motivating activity from the faction in my stead. Today I logged in and had a pretty fun RP and PVP experience in Cologne. Most of my activity happens in Bering, Hamburg, Cologne, Stuttgart, and Zurich. This would be strictly for raid gameplay - which seems to be a very enjoyable motivator for passive logging. RHA's own ability to bring players online to respond to raids is a testament to that healthy activity type.

I'd love to have some group PVP with RHA. We're not running away from you. About a week ago I flew into Dresden to see if any of you would pop out to encounter me.

You're not doing anything in Rheinland, your faction is as dead as RM are...

If I may be so bold:

Red Hessian Army [RHA] 13:02:21 2d 04:08:52 13:02:21 3d 14:36:55
Rheinland Military [RM] 2d 22:46:26 6d 19:18:14 2d 22:46:26 12d 12:03:25
The Unioners UN| 08:49:01 2d 02:36:21 08:49:01 3d 00:01:52

We all, to a degree, have our real lives developing to a degree and that it comes first is perfectly understandable. I hope, at the very least, that your visit was either productive or enjoyable or even both, but those best case scenarios are a rare occassion, but let's stay on the point.
Maybe it was me who lacked the luck of the draw to have a quality encounter with the Unioners as RHA recently (same stands for [RM], but this thread is not about them), but what i saw in the past... two months is UN| faction members going great lengths to actually avoid getting an encounter with an actual living [RHA] member. Be it me or anyone else - that consequently led some people to believe it is simply not worth to spare their time to log expecting an interaction that is likely not going to happen because of the tendency i mentioned above. So, before you come up with such ideas i would honesly suggest to get rid of that mindset among your members so other factions would actually consider showing up to fight you knowing UN won't turn their tails and run to a safe spot outside of certain factions' ZoI.
I, however, see where this issue is coming from. Ultimately, UN| lack sources of activity on the homefront, with Rheinland corporations (especially Republican, which displaced shipyard workers are bound to hate) and rumors circulating about the neutrality with the [RM] (aren't really rumors, but let's keep it at that to avoid further unnecessary rant from certain people). With the above said in mind, UN| lack natural competition within Rheinland, and the competition that persists and is ready to face a Unioner is being avoided like fire. Address those issues, make some quality insurance in control of what's happening within your faction (some of the recent [RM] members are disappointing and it doesn't seem like they're learning anything within their chosen faction) - and then, maybe, you will be considered a desired opponent down there in the Omegas (which is, in my opinion, is still a bit too far for the Unioners to loiter around). And this, of course, will not come without Wesker's suggestion as a penalty - your usual escape tools should be removed if you're so eager to interact with [RHA] not only outside of Rheinland.
