Don't forget Hotel California threads.. :D

It's a reference to the seemingly interminable and circular nature of discussions on PvP, PvE, player choice, the game modes, and mode shared game features, where many participants return to the discussion in each thread on the topic. From the lyrics of the song: The term was coined, for this...

...likely that wasn't just about PvP. We are actively discussing PvP in the PP2 thread without posts getting deleted. My guess it was a Hotel California post or they were attacking another player - the moderation post implies this. Also, posting about moderation on the forum can get you a paddlin'

...to the Bubble and was killed by a Thargoid I re-spawned on a DSSA Fleet Carrier 30KLY away -- and not the nearest station. This would be properly meta, if it indeeed happened. You can kill yourself any time you like, but you can never leave! I imagine the FC was called Hotel California... O7 V

It was never designed as PvP, that was just one of the desperate attempts to breathe life into (along with Hotel California, exclusive modules etc) when it turned out to be a massive DOA turkey. Of course, the smart thing to do would've been to make it interesting gameplay to start with, or even...

...message, no report... like someone entered our spacecraft and hacked us out. Anyway ... I hope this game can move to a higher level Hotel California talk or not, I really hope this can be made one day.. maybe not soon. but it really deserves it... I understand things can keep going like this...

I'm not sure that I understand any of the above..

Yes the incentive to do Power Play should be that doing Power Play is enjoyable. Coercion or bribery should be avoided this time round, coercion because it is a bad thing and bribery because it failed the first time around.

I'd be interested as to who you think "has been around from the beginning". Robert Maynard linked all 5 iterations of Hotel California for you. It's been some time since we saw any actually new ideas (though new players aren't aware they're repeating the same arguments that have been made for...

While we're at it... What about the House Of The Rising Sun?

It's much more cunning. By replying he's not allowed to moderate this Hotel anymore...

😂 Honestly it does make me smile to read people who think these threads are bad. For the most part it's rare on any game forum to see people disagree so politely :) I'm certainly not sure I'd recommend people go anywhere near Hotel California though.

Admit it, you live for these threads.

I'd draw a breath of relief if the constant bickering about ship interiors got banished into a single thread as has been done with the Hotel California arguments.

You just don't want to moderate no Hotel California again.

Well announcing Hotel California might well cause a crash due to players demanding a refund because of missselling.

As usual, I like this idea and frankly... it could use its own hotel California thread like "that other topic." Most of the travel-related "gameplay" occurs in or near gravity wells anyway.

...to them playing in open and logging out the instant I get within arm's reach. The major issue that always comes up with the hotel california threads is the fundamental issue that some people don't like it when other people can affect their game but can't be affected in turn. It's funny how...

I'd say conceptually PP was really the combat and territorial war companion to the BGS, but was left behind when the BGS was pushed by players and eventually the devs. What I see here is FD making PP go back to its original concept where (PP) goes beyond the vanilla states and visibly shows...

...a new role of Police investigation -it will curb on the HUGE issue of people that would like Open to be more valuable (so called Hotel California thing) and would still be inclusive to all player as all will be affected by it, it will reduce the lack of transparency the gameplay has with huge...

I imagine many faithful believers just are stuck at the core of the planet and enjoy the persistency without ever leaving. Wouldn't it be great if there was a Hotel California for them?

Are you sure you are talking about Open? Because what you are consenting to seems to apply to something like Mobius Private Group where rules like this apply regarding PvP. In Open play, your consent is irrelevant. That my friend, is reality.

...same mode. Nothing more, nothing less. You may want to read the ToS and what harassment may mean in ED Well, I'm afraid you are not the deciding factor. Also, why so serious and why here in this thread? We have a dedicated thread for Hotel California, 100+ pages already. Come visit...

This is now full-on Hotel California.

AFAIK the decision to move away from a PvP slider was based on several factors: Unified universe vision: The idea of a single shared galaxy where players' actions affect each other is central to Star Citizen. Splitting players into PvE and PvP zones or servers could diminish that sense of...

I don't understand this passive agressive hostility towards genuine critique. It's convenient to write things of as "hater comments" I guess, even though I do really love the game. It's just in a tragic state where it has so much potential to be better, my heart aches.

The open vs solo/PvE group choice for CGs & similar is more of a hotel california type topic but whether there is an advantage very much depends on what the player is looking to get out of the event. I certainly agree doing a CG in solo will get more stuff delivered & there will be no pad...

Exactly. In the wider game I have no problem at all with multi modes, its only in Powerplay where there is strategic advantage from ducking the existence of peer level ships and capabilities. Its why solo Powerplay needs far better NPC response, or that solo remains as it is and open gets...

why? are you still here on EDO forums, i fought you retired and went to SC or is it SF now! i not buying it for you!

Bingo card, angry ex boyfriends, dead game, SC still Alpha, doom-sayers, maintenance mode, free Engineered Anaconda, Hotel California, git gud. Missed anything?

Ah this old chestnut... they really need to make a Hotel California-style thread for these topics. If you ignore FD's discretion on the issue, yes, it falls afoul of the quote above. But FD have discretion. Just because they don't punish anyone for using it doesn't mean it's ok... it's up to...

...massive time sink in SC, so hours of progress can be wiped out in seconds by a PvPer. Hmm... is the solution to make PvP a massive time sink as well? Make it so that in order to do PvP you need hours of prep? :D And the funniest part - its largely a repetition of years of Hotel California...

I think you missed "incompetent devs".

Sounds like a design problem rather than a modes problem. While those seeking change seem to be of the opinion that the game "clearly needs to change" to accommodate their preferred gameplay, the same cannot necessarily be said of those who don't enjoy PvP - and we all bought the same game...

You missed the always, extremely dramatic "It's worse than that. He's dead, Jim!"

From the posts of some of those seeking Open only it's pretty clear that they want more targets to shoot at. YMMV. Some want Solo and Private Groups removed completely so.... Players in Open affect the gameplay of those in Solo and Private Groups using exactly the same levers that those in...

...any difference if your ship is called "Angel of Mercy" or "Space Ambulance", you are potentially a target. There is the eternal "Hotel California" thread continually discussing game modes, it is quite fun for the first 500 pages... Don't expect special consideration from other players if...

Really? How huge a negative for an online only game that describes itself as such? Maybe as the game accomodates 3 playstyles? True - given the normal system chat in CG systems, this can only be a good thing, yes? Hotel California is that way... 👉
