The Open v Solo v Groups thread

[angusmadmac1]

you're doing everything you want unhindered , i can't stop you from hauling merits , i can't stop you from undermining me , i can't stop you from doing missions against my faction , i can't stop you from attacking the work i'm doing ...

So when you are in your own Private instance in "open" or timezone and you don't meet anyone your efforts are for nothing ? Should we go down the route that no enemy interaction means no PP points ??

 

[Brrokk]

if you want to play in private group or solo only that's fine but you shouldn't get any influence in shaping the world other people who interact with each other play in otherwise it's not fair
so bgs and powerplay should completely ignore actions done in private
for the case of powerplay make it so they get the merits to progress on the loyalty rewards track but those merits don't contribute to leaderboard nor to the undermining / reinforcement of systems . same thing goes for community goals : you get your rewards but you don't influence the results of the COMMUNITY goal
this should be a fair enough compromise

You cant stop me anyway its a myth, i spent weeks in Open in PP1 without seeing a single sausage.
I even challenged folks on here over three nights to stop me, i offered a commander in Midgard 2 Billion credits to take a screenshot of my ship, not stop me, just take a screeny.
Im a single ship in a huge area, that argument was debunked yonks ago.

yes ! cause you can do the exact same actions the owner did to get one for yourself ! that's the reward of your efforts

That kind of ship cannot do any other thing than kill other ships. It cannot haul cargo, it cannot mine, it cannot explore and so on and on. Even against NPC's PVP meta is kind of poor.

Besides in Open I would just block you for good.

a possibility of 1% is better than a possibility of 0%

 

[TiberiusDuval]

oh that system needs to go , block should only be a mute button not a delete from the face of galaxy button

Oh really so what to do against station kamikazes or pad blockers, or someone just harassing you again and again.

Btw. opening fire is not an answer station will make short work of you.

I don't know about that, block can completely remove irritants from one's game in just a few seconds, priceless!

there can be , it's not guaranteed but it's possible especially in highly contested areas like powerplay and CG

 

[Darrack]

a possibility of 1% is better than a possibility of 0%

So the risk in Open is virtually none existent then?

as can solo or private group

 

[Barnabis Bananas]

O7

1% is still existant what ?

 

[Darrack]

highly contested areas like powerplay and CG

There are no highly contested areas in PP if you know what you are doing, CGs are a different matter, that's just mainly gankers vs traders.

there are ways around it

But there is no risk of you don't meet anyone ? You may meet someone but to be truthful your chances of instancing with the enemy is even less than someone in PG or Solo with an NPC . So your risk is even less ????

 

[Rat Catcher]

as can solo or private group

But you want them removed from your game as they aren't fair...

uhuh right , anyways the current CG is a combat focus so Combattants vs gankers i'm doing it i got killed twice but still at top 50% all in open

in open you meet NPCs and PLAYERS chance of meeting one doesn't reduce chance of meeting the other , as long as there is a chance there is a risk no matter how low it is
