You know despite the toxic sort of nature and questionableness of this particular event I actually think something like this when the game is released could be quite fun and interesting. There is a certain sandbox dynamic here that I find intriguing. I'm all for a political sort of tension and competition amongst groups of players even if that revolves around a extreme dislike and hatred of each other.

Where this has ultimately gone wrong here is due to a few things. One, spawn camping in a group is rather questionable and to suggest all that is required is for a similar group to organise and respond is flawed because at present its difficult to get in the same instance together with people who you want to. Later in development I expect this not to be the case but for now it is. Secondly, there does seem to be an alterior motive behind doing this and we could certainly do without the personal and toxic vitriol we have seen here today.

I was somewhat sceptical about the ability to put other players on an exclusion list in game but it seems to me that its not such a bad idea if people don't want to be sucked into this kind of thing.

I for one will not be excluding anyone from my play list. And lets just say that moving forward this group is KOS. ;)

I've got some American family, and have been to the US numerous times. I assure you all that everyone I've met there was absolutely spiffing, although there was this one army recruiter guy that I ran into when I was with my brother-in-law, who tried to get us to join up - until he heard my British accent, at which point he made a lame 'joke' about us getting our ***** kicked in Northern Ireland (ignorant ****).
BTW - I work with load of Irish guys (Republic of Ireland, rather than Northern Ireland), who I find incredibly funny with (IMO) the best sense of humor in the world (very dry and witty).
As long as you don't start invading their country that is...

The degrading and manipulating griefer gang:

  • CMDR AK785
  • CMDR HanSolo
  • CMDR Maxim
  • CMDR Lobottomie

Ho wow commanders I hope you have worked it out correctly because their are a lot more than four of the guys you are all picking out for the kill on sight order . Remember how big the universe is then keep counting and multiplying the number I am sure you will be able to work out the process soon .:cool:

But come please try and at least help test and be a part of the game we are all trying to make sure is worth playing for every one for a very long time .

Please feel free to post the names of the rest of this fabulous gang. :)

They call me the blockade runner..

Ahh a challenge, sounds good. Running blockades with a cargo full of toxic canisters is what I do best, I wouldn't call this griefing actually its kinda realistic like a player generated event. After all this game is called Elite Dangerous so I think it should be Dangerous...

If you have a competitive streak, yes. The GAME is what you make it, excitement/danger can still be found without resorting to the method of griefing, in my opinion.

Not my style, thanks. :cool:

Finally someone else realizes the spirit this TEST was administered in :)
Just sorry I missed it guys, next time for sure.
 
See guys you are getting the idea some commanders are in time zones over 7 hours apart from the Brave commanders that replied to the plague warning .

And to all those that keep saying we were camping on the spawn point please check the twitch.tv recordings you will see all the commanders are in high speed combat . And you will be able to hear me help one commander asking for help testing his scanners .
It will prove we are testing and willing to help all the commanders even during the event .

twitch.tv/lobottomie was trying to record as much as possible of the battle .
 
Not in alpha here, but surely the whole point of testing before release is not only to test the nuts and bolts of the code, but also the gameplay and emergent behaviours (good, bad, boring or indifferent)?

Go for it, be annoying, see what happens, fix things that need to be fixed.

Thank you for taking part or at least trying to understand how the game will be playable .

Thank you we are trying to test as much as possible and show what is possible and events like this will be part of the game and the way the universe unfolds with players trying to explore the game . Because we will be able to alter the game and change possible out comes of a world being attacked and save stations or other very cool things . Like killing stations or lets hope we will be able to .

So true so you won't mind if a lot that really really thought that blockading the only star port was so fun, that they test their weapons on the 4 of you at every opportunity. Not to grief surely but to test the game and make sure that weapons work and there is not an invulnerability bug for players. I know it means the destruction of your ships, but it is purely for testing I hope you understand. Would that fly with your help testing lame claim today? Would the 4 of you we know the names of like to be KOS to the rest of the community till beta released for a fresh start. Just to test you understand. I doubt it, yet you ruined some players limited game time by this juvenile test. In other words think before you make a target of yourselves.

As for your team speak server and rules you enforce, enjoy it, as I will never join it. Your actions today says all I need to know about the arrogance some you are showing with your posts, I can imagine the chat on it and what you are saying about those that found your escapade today to be less then ideal.

You want to test that in the future wait till there are more then one star port available so people can avoid it if they don't want to play your way. I hope by then the star port defenses would make short work of you.

What an interesting thread this has been. I'm intrigued at the passion with which so many people have responded to the OP, but maybe I shouldn't be.

The majority of backers voted for this to be an open PvP game. Perhaps some did not fully appreciate the ramifications of this and expect everyone to behave in a "gentlemanly" manner. Prepare for a surprise when beta starts.
 
may I say that trying to force players to use your teamspeak server is very underhanded
gen-han-solo and Maxim keep spamming or bumping posts to the forums telling everyone to join their preferred TeamSpeak server. personally I think you should just stop and give up on trying to ruin other players game.
I for one after being on that TS server have vowed never to go back on it ever again, something very underhanded and suspicious is going on.

this should be stickied for the un-initiated. more proof if it was ever required :rolleyes:
 
To some extent there is a big fuss being made about nothing as we all know there will be strong measures in the final game on greifers: police, separate instance, bounties, allowing players to choose who to instance with and space is big, really big.

This will not be an issue that is worth getting concerned about.

Just let the greifers try there thing and they will find out.
