Staff Feedback Thread

[pillow]

Uh huh. Then why even chime in at all other than trying to mock the others who still give a fuck?

One half shitpost, one half vain attempt at showing people how they sound.

In what universe should I even consider giving my 2 cents rather than simply poke fun at people who are allergic to this game having a relatively healthy environment to play in?

I mean your two cents pillow would probably be taken better than the uh. Well. The rest of your posts have. I’m not sure if you’re scared or not of the thought of putting yourself up here as a spokesperson in either defence of staff action or against them, but I can say with utmost certainty that this is something that quite frankly has been a noticeable issue for months.

(For the reader’s understanding, the rest of this is directed as staff feedback)

If activity of one big faction is negatively impacting most other smaller factions that are struggling to enjoy the game because of these interactions, is it better to help the one big group be protected from punishment just because they’re putting the game hours in, or is it worth doing things to the benefit of the smaller factions to give them motivation to play more?

If we keep up this way, the smaller groups will no longer feel like logging. And for what its worth, they’re for the most part the people who don’t wanna just /1 /2 pew. You say you want roleplayers to be more prominent, but you keep kicking them down. Telling them the unfair situation that was given to them by a faction with the most activity is okay because of their “mediocre skill”. Well a lot of roleplayers that are forced to fight are also mediocre skill pvpers. Myself included.

I am on the verge of dropping this game entirely, partially because these incidents are repeatedly bashing myself and friends down when we deal with them, and partially based off the fact that staff wont even talk to this one active faction at all. They expect us to keep pointlessly trying to talk it out instead and have the blame repeatedly thrown in our faces, to then also blame the ones given said unfair battle for either not bringing more people, or said people being in group who are pvpdead from somewhere else, or leaving a single ship alone (because we went to swap ships to meet the force evenly) so they could gank the shit outta what remained. Its never DTR’s fault. Neither in their own eyes, nor staffs. And the one time that they do admit their wrongdoing, staff still view the incident as fine.

If you want to list Discovery as 24/7 PvP server and forego Roleplay, do so. But don’t go wanting the quality of RP to go up when you keep putting those of us giving at least half a care to do so down. It is poisonous to the community you want to exist. Teach them. Educate them. Do it with words, or bans, or sanctions. I don’t care how, I’m not gonna jerk off to whatever you do to them. I just want to see something done to steer this sinking ship gingerly to port, and to maybe actually patch up what little remains to mend the rifts that have formed.

It's absolutely peak irony for you to claim that DTR prevents you from roleplaying like that's possible in any way, shape, or form. People can RP whatever they want and there's nothing any player can generally do about it.

It's even more hilarious because it's my RP that got nuked after spending days to set it up/writing it etc. And despite asking staff if it's acceptable to post and secured green light ahead of posting. Then, the justification being that my RP was too powerful and it would essentially destroy two factions. That was never my intention - just to create something interesting. I log maybe once every few months and I do enjoy political RP on the super rare occasion that there's an opportunity for it. Now I can't be bothered even with the occasional RP. I got a warning for it too. That's spilled milk under the bridge now though. No ill feelings, no harm, no foul - just pointing out the facts.

The point is - this victimhood complex really doesn't suit you. Go touch some grass, lend your ear, have some chinwag or something. Said in the most positive possible tone. Genuinely not trying to be facetious or aggressive. I don't even know who you are as you weren't active when I was.

Also worth mentioning that I am just speaking from my perspective, not from DTR's as a whole. In case somehow someone misconstrues that.

i don't think it's particularly fair to say that when you're not even active these days. there has been a genuine issue of overpiling and people straight up refusing to rp (i have personally witnessed the latter literally 2 days ago when i last played) cus one DTR member would rather "planetdive" then type words at a snub

also mildly curious about what your RP was about that it would 'ruin' factions?

I mean, I am still around in discord. I play other stuff with the guys, we talk and I also see what's happening. I don't need to be constantly in-game to have an opinion. Considering DTR loses like 80% of the fights these days, it doesn't have the numbers it used to, people are openly bragging how good they are/how bad DTR is in PVP - I don't see how someone can claim to be a victim. It would be a different story if DTR was dominating fights but the last three months DTR loses fights regularly. Beyond that, all the story events, Corsairs lost every single one as far back as Freeport 9. Same with organized non-official events.

The RP argument is absolutely ludacris. No one faction can stop another faction from RP unless staff interferes. As far as individual issues, Knusper and the rest of the guys are tackling every single one. If you spot an individual player doing something stupid, raise it to Knusper.

For the rest, can speak on Discord if you have any particular questions, feel free to ask. Don't want to go into major off-topic.

This post is not directed at anyone in particular.

A gentle reminder to please try to keep the tone here constructive, or at least highlight specific issues that can be addressed even if you don't have a proposed solution. This is not the place to air your grievances against particular community members, but rather to provide feedback on the staff team overall.

This can technically include discussions of staff treatment of certain factions via whatever means, but does not include discussions of which faction is better or worse at PvP, et cetera -- you probably want the appropriate faction's feedback thread for that sort of thing (but you also have to keep the tone constructive there, as well).

Hello. You punished Mort too strictly with a ban for a whole month, moreover playing through /1 and /2 is not forbidden by the server rules. Yes, I realize that this is more for players like me who don't know English. But still you are not fair to him. This person has been helping me since the first months I've been playing. He did the same to the other players. A man who creates server assets by personal flights and creating events. I ask you to reconsider the punishment.

This kinda feels like selectively picking on one guy - a straight ban without warnings? For /1/2 so many do? And you assume the worst in the wording, like he's your enemy? This doesn't really sit right against a guy who does a lot of work to organize raids for both sides?

And yet Mort has constantly made it a habit to log for a weaker side just so he can shore up their ability to take fights that have supposedly been "ace-stacked".

Admins are citing low RP interactions yet don't go after the Zoner Whales that fly through house space, drop cargo to ram into them, or give dogshit one word replies to avoid interaction at all cause.

Do people who dock at the first sign of trouble exhibit low-quality interactions as well?

As he posted in wrong thread I'm quoting here - you ban an active community member who creates activity for probably hundreds of people in balanced PvP fights, but no RP traders are fine? You just opened a whole can of inconsistencies here in my opinion and will need to start mass bans against no RP trading players imo.

Same with people who use player list to dock and log off - that's worse than someone /1/2 and they should be mass banned too now as they give no interactions at all
