Deterrence OF application

@Ravenna Nagash

There is nothing emotional with witnessing DTR going to gangbang some random dude in a BS who stands 0 chance AT ALL, even with help. You're going to harm the playerbase by demotivating people if you keep it up. That is a fact. Tone it down.

1) RP sense?
How can the Corsairs afford to waste so much fuel on fighters? Corsairs are meant to be formidable fighter pilots. Why are they running? Why are they dishonoring Corsair values? Why would they prefer capital

ships with resource issues? You can't compare RP to gameplay, not entirely. God I wish a Nomad could roll a group of people over without effort or backup.

2) I've always limited numbers where I can and I certainly not have sent 12 people onto 2 nor 5. And balancing around capital gameplay is always difficult. How the FUCK are you supposed to balance VERY HEAVY FIGHTERS against a group of BATTLESHIPS? Are you insane? In both situations, DTR were overkilling. And there was no large group either, both fights were just stragglers logging in. It is hard to determine skill measure when people are sometimes incognito. Yes, sometimes, you will need 2 people on 1. There are plenty of people who can kill 2 people alone, I know Wesker sure as hell can.

I don't know what K'Hara does, nor care, you can piss on them for all I care, but you're taking it way too far by going grug smash on random players.

3) I'm not an ace, nor was the guy with me in the first fight, I can barely hit with my stiff hands as is. First fight, I was flying a very large bomber, anyone can hit it which they did pretty much dry me when I had to leave to attend to an oven overcooking. Here you go again, this is another problem of assumptions. If you actually read my reply you would have noticed I said I didn't mind if you had like 3-4 extra snubs on. The problem was that you were going overkill. You were sending almost every combat class in the game after people.

Ace or not. 3-4 VHFs cannot touch a group of 8+ caps...

4) It isn't a match making game, but have you ever considered any sort of sportsmanship? "real battle" ... It's a game. This isn't a war, what are you on about. Other players, so far I've witnessed this year, can offer relief and pull some people off.

We can't magically change our entire organization, fleet composition, and plans to accommodate your game-play in an instant.

Calling bollocks on this because your guys deliberately logged onto capital ships during the 2nd fight was about to kick off, when they could have logged VHFs. No one stopped them either. Inexcusable behaviour. You could have still balanced it regardless, because your event wouldn't have been stopped if you died in Delta. You are not dead in Major.

"Our gameplay" is also your gameplay. If you don't like other players existing, you may as well just host your own server and pve for the rest of eternity.

You can't have alleged constant issues with us for months, never raise them to me and expect some kind of action really. It doesn't work that way unfortunately, but I am very eager to catch up with you and dissect the issues and work on them together.

I have had them for ages and some people know I have been a bit vocal in other chats. I don't care. What I care about is what you do now in the present and in the future. What has happened, has happened - you can't change what has been done. Show that you're willing to be a bit more humble. You hate K'Hara so much, so why do you aspire to be like them?

Plenty of DTR players has since moved on from only DTR and are playing other factions - some in Liberty, some in Gallia, some have even created their own factions themselves. They are free to do so. I do not overlord over every DTR member and people are free to choose what and how they want to play the game.

When I mean that people should try out different things, I meant different entirely, not just move with the same friend group. Fight against your friends from time to time. You can tell them to log off, but you can't force them to log whatever side.


Lastly. No one knows you had an event in the first fight. And it absolutely does not excuse what you did in Xi when you had FULL control of what to bring or do.

Repeating myself for multiple times now, people are not psychic, you need to inform them if you want to pass along to an event. I didn't know. Nor did the others. Why do you expect the server to conform to you? Random things happen all the time. It is entirely unreasonable for you to assume that people know what you want to do. The only thing I saw in my perspective was large group of Corsairs and some Core cruiser getting gangpiled by it all lmao.

I do not care for these mental gymnastics of "what aboutisms" and "im never wrong" attitudes. I don't care. What I care about, is how you're treating people and willingness to do something new so that the game can be fun. And it is not looking good. Because throwing capital ships and fighters onto lone players isn't fun.

I gave the DTR people the benefit of the doubt because some people can have bad days, and can change over time. Confronting people in Disco tends to drive them into being gymnasts (like these useless feedback threads) and nothing changes. Sometimes people need quiet to reflect or distance to realise things. That's why I didn't mention anything publicly, because that is unnecessary drama. It achieves nothing. And it seems like, once more, that nothing will be achieved here either. Maybe something will happen, who knows.

Oh, and for reference, I barely interact with DTR as is on the server. So, no, I do not make these "hunting parties" that some of you like to assume. I don't log a lot as is, but when or if I do, I'd rather log to rp or I'm being called to help someone, or I see something unusual happening to check it out.


I'm not amused in the slightest witnessing randoms get piled like that. I'm speaking up about it because no one else will.
