Gallic faction strong

[theflyingrock]

they seem like they want to kill off activity in that area

[Shiki]

Ironically the Kingdom of Gallia wan't even known for taking out civilian POB's.

Well its another sign that the Enclave shouldn't have even been allowed to exist. The destruction of Leeds would undoubtedly have caused a backlash that would have seen them overrun. Now that the war is 'over' they go taking out bases.

The real answer here seems to be #removetheEnclave.

We could have seen some life return to the area instead of losing Sirius's most populated planet and giving the rest to a toxic faction.

But yeah like, don't worry, with Devtonia team we currently have, Enclave is deleted and Bretonia is superpower by 2021. Not sure where they'd place the retcon of Leeds though.

Sieges are activity. Repelling the opposition is activity. Complaining on the forums is not activity.

Can turn that argument against you if you so insist.
Those garlic factions mostly gain real activity outside of the Gallia core systems, apart from the GMS, who enjoy virtually pirate and encounter-free environment. Any example of a successful domestic criminal faction in Gallia?
The MNG| players could as well enjoy playing other house militaries, while the boogie role of Enclave can be easily fulfilled by the traditional house criminals, Outcasts and Corsairs. 5th house - just more spreading of a finite playerbase on the vast map.

Now that it affects some blokes in Bretonia, now it's worth crying about?

No, it's that one of the POB owners which happens to be based in bretonia complained and a discussion spawned from it.

I understand that it sucks to lose stuff, but please draw the line between ingame assets and being personally offended. It is the game and the fact that this thread got 17 pages of mostly unironic posting indicates that some people are forgetting about this fact.

Balancing effort and reward is difficult when it takes a day to destroy months of work. We know they're meant to be destructible but this is basically popping bubble wrap or a more accurate simile might be knocking down someones house of cards and then laughing at them for being annoyed.
Except the house of cards actually serves a purpose other than looking cool.

Make no mistake, the both POBs in New London next to the Dublin Jumpgate are probably next on the list.

Yeah... Probably.
But the ZOI in NL for other factions to aid in the protection of pobs is greater so they might not be as easy.

You can easily defend your base with help with allies,

They had ~10 afk valors and specifically attacked when the playerbase which defends these pobs were offline and well... That POB is going to die m8. And it really ain't the defenders fault that the human body requires sleep and that people live on the other side of the planet. Hence I proposed set times twice a day where POBS can be attacked slowing down the siege and actually giving defenders their chance.
Hell if it really bothers you than my suggestion could be altered to postpone repairs if it's too defender sided. Compromises people... Compromises. Either everyone has fun for a really long time or a few people laugh for a very short time and the POB players just stop making POBS and you run out of POBS because POBS just aren't worth it. That's the problem. And do you really want to see like 20 POBS out the front of planet NL its self? I don't think so.

Other servers are dead. This server is alive because it mixed all the types of player around. Even doing minimal RP required for engagement is better than getting silently engaged by some random. Thus, I don't think the entire thread has a point to exist and just a cup, full of tears. If you want to defend POB - gather people, log, and defend or die with honour, instead of whining and offering stupid rules change just to protect POBs as it's already done with 4.7 by whiny traders.

Traders being protected from capital ships when they're meant to be actively aware and it's mostly their own fault as they've got so many options to avoid the situation entirely blah blah blah that's different.
The context matters.
Traders don't need protecting like POBs do. Don't mix up a player being online and aware of their surroundings to a stationary building active 24/7 just to die when its owner and defenders are sleeping for no reason other than POB go Boom.

The Enclave's POB sieges are legit. They are made for RP reasons. I don't like how they are avoiding combat by besieging at times when everyone is asleep or just running away when opposition comes, but there's nothing essentially wrong with the actual idea that they should besiege POBs in Dublin, as that is their role and they are playing it.

I agree it fits their faction RP wise but the anti social behaviour can at least be deterred and gameplay therefore improved with some kind of amendment to sieging. Because 10 aft valors only seiging when their opposition is asleep does literally nothing for the game or the players except you know... POB go Boom. Because why not?

Where were you when Order sieged Core PoBs?
Where were you when Wesker-sama totally annihilated Rheinland again and again?
Where were you when Siloso, a base with longest history and utility (that was still standing at the time) in entire discovery was annihilated by the Outcasts?
Stop whining with your double standards. Until today, I haven't even heard that your PoB even exists/existed. Is it still alive even?

They didn't exactly cause a discussion such as this but we can all hypocritically agree and what not that Weskers jolly stroll through Rheinland was extremely unhealthy for Rheinland POBs and playerbase other than RHA and RM. Being a hypocrite isn't exactly a point when that happened years ago and people finally see that oh boy oh jeez mass blowing up peoples hard work other months in a single days worth is bad.
If you cringe at your past or are labelled a hypocrite for something you said years ago either you learnt and grew your ideas/perspective or have an interest. I don't even actively play this damned game at the moment and I'm still here able to say the effort in creating and destroying POBs is far from equal and like we've said for years but nothing got done, it needs an overhaul. It's just that a discussion like this wasn't fortunate enough to be born and sustained until people were convinced. A little for the record here, POBs should be killable... just not when it does literally nothing for the game and just makes people feel bad for wasting their time. An experience is better than nothing and nothing is what you're giving the owners/defenders by seiging and dealing the most damage during offtimes.

Sieges are activity. Repelling the opposition is activity. Complaining on the forums is not activity.[align=right]

Turn the argument back again. There is a reason those people play Gallic facitons. Delete those factions and there are no guarantee those people would actually care to play as other factions. I would not, personally.

Okay, mister local hater. Whatever you say.

You literally sieged with a butt load of Valors when people were sleeping on purpose. What activity?

We weren't sleeping. Not everyone is on your sleep schedule. Between Dublin and Newcastle last night, the sieges took almost half a day. That span of time alone is more than enough for people to log in.

It was 2 AM for me when we finished. It was 7 AM in Europe. It was 6 PM in New Zealand. It was 11 PM in California. We had people online in all those time zones. That just happens to be when we're free.
