' Wrote:2. Ahh, and I thought everyone was finished with the issue. The decision was, I believe, to have some target practice with the foreign ooRPers, because those who don't speak English well but do want to RP have a dictionary nearby.
if they can't understand what you say, figures are they don't understand the rules.
you could not imagine how pissed i was when a trader i stopped re-engaged my RFP 3 times, there should be something that lock up your guns if youre in a system that another player that killed you is in, if you need those guns to defend yourself from NPC's, thats more the reason to GTFO.
ok lag is a fac that wont go away ,makeing ships more expensive wont solve anything getting rid og indie caps will kill the modas myself and alot of people wil lquitand contary to what you all think and il lbe blunt now...
FACTIONS ARE AS BAD AS INDIES BOTH HAVE EQUAL SHARES OF pvpabusers//lolcaps//nonenglishspeakers//ectra ectra the faction lolwhuts dont last long as there removed within like a month of them joining but THEY DO EXIST SO STOP SAYING INDIES CANT DO CRAP AND ARE JUST LOLWHUT JERKS WHO DONT BELONG IN THERE SHIPS OR ON THE SERVER ASIDE FROM THE WEAKEST OF fighters/transports/freighters/capitols!
if you all think the indies are that much of a problem go jon FREEWORLDS! there you HAVE TO PICK A FACTION
admins can we please lock this i feel its just a INDIE VRS FACTIONS thread in disguise
Whilst I doubt there's anything productive to come out of this thread, I fail to see any benefits to locking it. The OP didn't mention independents *at all* but you can't stop people who feel strongly about that particular issue from voicing their concerns over it when the lolwut issue is raised, and calling for censorship wouldn't change those opinions and in fact could arguably weaken the position of indy capital pilots as one could argue it's an admission of defeat. However, I digress: The most important point in this thread has already been made:
Quote:The real problem with Discovery is the constant whining, bickering and labelling going on here on the forums. You would find you had a much better gaming experience if you approached the game and other players with a healthier, friendlier attitude instead of looking to put everyone who doesn't fit the mould down.
You sir have just joined that rabble (as I'm sure have I at times - right now in fact!).
Why always this ''make all large ship faction only''.
Is it only me who know they are easily destroyed by yourselfe and ye pal in 2 bombers.
And is it only me who sometimes enjoy flying an Indie Cap on ye own.
You are now putting to many people on the same bench!
Only a slight % makes us all seem bad.
(and yes this is a indie vs faction thread in disguise) :P:)
Lag play, I found that I was being message bombed the other day, unable to respond due to a Loss/Lag delay of over 12 minutes. IE I send at 9:00 and the message would appear in system chat at 9:12, leaving 12 minutes of time for the conversation to completely change topic.
To counter this, I merely screen shot-ted the conversation, took it to the Forums and answered the questions there. Beat getting angry and threatening to boot my modem out of the window of my 9th floor apartment... *blush*
Lag is a reality, it has to be dealt with, but can make for interesting RP, for example my ship had a lot of encounters with Artifacts recently and so we blame them for having made the ship rather "Faulty"... and I love my ship, it has personality now!
so Lag, it can be worked around, after all that is why we have a forum right?
Indies debate: I made the mistake recently of assuming All Indies were bad, then came to the realization that they actually aren't. There are some out there that are RP-ing to the best of their ability. I needed to learn a little more tolerance to them, and to find a way to include rather than just exclude them all together. (Again my apologies, I'm mature enough to admit I was wrong on that issue).
3. English.... since I speak Russian, can read and write some German, fluent in French, and Cambodian (don't ask) I have little issue with the Foreigners, actually some of them are quite surprised that I can communicate with them
SMALL WORDS, BABY TALK really stupid I know, but hey. KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID works.
HEY this thread isn't three things at all, it is FOUR!!!!!!!!
4. OMG like you see, like, the big white thing. yeah, that's a secret portal to the land of the Monkies, where they make battleships for 100 Credits... the "Warning entering suns corona" is just to scare people off.
