aahh.. Was thinking you were referring to how some refer to BGS work as PVP vs actual assault type.

As I've said since day one, depends on your playstyle. Try telling some of the big BGS player groups when they were having their toxic BGS wars. I think they might look at things differently.
 
I'll try roleplaying the part buddy but I'm not very good.........

"We are providing the emergent content that the game doesn't and can't provide, you lot sit here crying and moaning about what we do but the game is richer for us. Honestly you are a bunch of scrub carebear forumdads and we love feeding off you constant salt delivery. We aren't ever gonna stop, we will keep invading Mobius, we will keep ramming you and we will keep delivering our excellent emergent content, either 'git gud' or get out.

The Voice of Open"

.........how was that?

:D

Takes me back, good effort bud.

Perhaps Majinvash should run some sort of boot camp for PvP forum users.
We could send Algo and 90s for lessons on how to post on here properly ;) :D (j/k)
 
Well, none of this will happen any more than removing PG/solo, so keep on dreaming.


Actually, flags are already in the game...and the original game design called for Public Groups..similar to D3 where the original owner of the public group set the rules and anyone could join. There is nothing in the design that would say this was not possible...but some of the consequences would hurt people immersion as ships would not be able to collide with each other, etc.
 
He is still posting alot, just not here ;)

I used to see his posts in a Facebook group, though they were not as eloquent on there as they were here.
But that's Facebook in general, adored by those with limited intellect and tolerated by the rest of us.

I don't go on Reddit as much as I used to, mainly r/jokes, r/funny and for a real laugh r/ukpolitics (the Brexit arguments are amazing).

This is the game you bought, deal with it.

QFT.

Simple fact is, none of us plebeian posters on the forum are so important that FD will start tailoring the game to our specific desires, at the expense of others.

Blunt truth is that if there's something in the game you don't like, you're just going to have to accept it anyway. I had to do that with Engineering. I hate it. I think it's the worst addition to the game. But I'm a nobody at the end of the day. My complaints will only fall on deaf ears. So I just have to live with a feature that I don't like.

To be brutally honest, "Open only" advocates need to do the same. I hate to break it to you guys, but like me, you're nobody. Frontier doesn't want to make your game. I'm afraid you're just going to have to live with the fact that Solo players can influence the BGS too. That's what FD wants for the game, and as harsh as it is, they really do not care if it upsets a few players.
 
For the 80th time in all these multitude of threads about PVE vs PVP server posts (really they need to have a new forum just called "Crying About the Different Modes") is that many people do NOT want a social game. They play to get away from real people. Many deal with real people all the time, that's why the get immersed in games so the DO NOT HAVE TO BE SOCIAL.

So simply that means:
- No other humans anywhere to see or even get random texts from
- No PVP at all
- NPC only interactions and your own world
- You, yourself and oneself

It boggles my mind how some people don't get that not everyone wants to play in a MMO setting. This is what makes ED so great, it's one of the few games that gives you that wonderful option to not have to play with each other. The entire video game spectrum now is over saturated with these types of multi player universes and it's so nice to see a company getting away from that for a change...

I still like Monopoly. Not to many players left.
Meanwhile, I play ED in solo. And plus 1 for DarkFyre!
 
Its simple. Create a option that the player sets so they are either PvP enabled or not. This has been possible since like EQ1 i think. This way the PvP and PvE servers are the same but unless the player is opting into PvP they cannot be attacked by players.

Oh wow, just reading through some posts.

I love it when im mentioned. That means I am making an impact. And doing it correctly.

Remember a few weeks ago when I didnt know who the voice of open even was?

Turns out, ive know Maj for about 6 months now. Spoke with him here and there. Didnt realize he was the voice of open.

He has knighted me "The new voice of open".

You see you cut one head of the hydra. And you still have another that pops up you have to deal with.

We evolve, we get stronger each time. Like a high-lander.

Maj sends his regards.

Maj was banned from the forums I am told.. you looking for the same "reward"? And I wouldn't call you a hydra...

Why would I be? I havnt done anything wrong :D

Now as far as what the OP has spoke about. How PVP has no place. Brings us full circle. And proves the points even more.

A new player has entered Hotel California.

You guys really think Fdev is going to let this go on forever?

Hes right you know.

Ive tried to Powerplay for Weeks even streaming. But they never came out even though the people were in my chat. They fought against me in solo and private.

Sames happening with player factions vs player factions. Here in colonia where everyone is bunched together.

I've only had 2 experience with PVP in this game. Organized PVP outside of the intended working PVP mechanics frontier has provided. Instead we PVP'd at CG's.

Or if you try to PVP against someone and role play they combat log or give you a crap ton of salt in chat.

And thats not fair for anyone.

OP gets it in this post. And has literally explained everything people has said before. Using his own words. His own brain. Coming to his own conclusions.

Another point proven.

All you've proved is you like to pat yourself on the back.. Maj isn't right about anything, neither are you. Fdev are and they choose how the game goes, not you. But I know.. you will keep hammering away hoping to get them to turn from the path they seit.

I was referring to OP, being right. A newer person finding out everything on his own. And expressing the same opinion based on their experiences.

But okay.

We get it. You're going to fight against it no matter what.

Its really not hard to get infractions or banned from this forum.

Not when it is moderated by a hugely PVE biased mod team and forum dads who will instantly smash the panic button ( Report ), the moment they see anything that upsets their feelings. Maybe if PVP posters were so easily offended, the constant troll post from the PVE users might see some mod action.

I am currently moderated and my posts have to be checked before being posted to check they do not contain to much truth that others might find upsetting.

No, you basically just have to act in a way that consistently breaks Wheaton's Law.

Post Content A: Over analysis of PvP or griefing in the game being akin to a real life terrorism/sexual assault/murder, replete with insults about basement dwelling/being a 12yr old child
FDev Forum Consensus: Absolutely fine. Legit points well made

Post Content B: Suggesting that the poster of Content A needs to grow up/get a grip on reality and is perhaps taking things too far?
FDev Forum Consensus: REPORT! REPORT!! REPORT!!!!
