Horizons Carebears and [REDACTED]: GIT GUD! (Youtuber Corpsealot)


Given what Corpse says here I find it hard to understand his other vid in the OP. There are people who have developed a hate for certain players and groups in this game and folks do rejoice when they get it handed to them.

In the OP vid I was with him right up until he started off with his real world example. Regardless, I always enjoy Corpse's style and agree with him on many things particuarly over the 2nd ammendment.. Just lolz at the way he has guns all over the place.

I think Frontier did us all a diservice by removing the value of attacking another player.. Once, long ago in development, you destroyed a ship and all its cargo poured out in the wreckage. Now it magically disappears.. Another 'trick' up someones sleeve me thinks.. Folks say they are killed for 'no reason'.. its likely a fair comment if but subjective.

But since Frontier have bent over backwards to remove those reasons what do folks expect?

Another thing I will point out, FD have done as Corpse said.. They've taken the meaning out of aligning ourselves to Fed, Imps or Alliance. Real pity imo.

We can be King of the Empire and Rear Admiral of the Federation, and who knows what with the Alliance, and own all ships from each faction too. Everyones a special snowflake though right? Meh[blah]

This all said what I am happy about is that Corpse is starting to get the recognition he truly deserves.. I see so many non entities doing well on youtube or twitch and often wonder whats going on..

o7 Corpse. Keep up your vids, I may not always agree but I do enjoy them. ;)

Wishful thinking of yours, eh?

Probably. I just wonder how people will react the day they get their accounts shadowbanned in the way FDev have ascribed numerous times.

Call me a gruff traditionalist, but complaining about griefers and exploiters and then handling them by using exploits in some misguided attempt to grief/troll them is a silly notion that only weakens your viewpoint (because you're doing the exact same thing... but to them), particularly as there are many legitimate ways of avoiding these interactions.

If I look at e.g. Naval Action I see an integrated mechanic there that dis-incentivises combat-logging. Latest implementation is, I believe an officer sailing the ship, trying to escape battle, so your ship isn't a sitting duck should someone just happen to lose connection. I doubt a shadow ban scares a logger. If the Open experience wasn't really that good what would be worse on the shadow server?

Last time I encountered an attempted log in Naval action (about a week ago), the ship in question sat there fat dumb and happy allowing me to board and take her as a prize. Also, Naval Action not running on shoestring budget P2P networking allows for proper punitive measures regarding combat logging :). The best thing they did was add that officer perk that stops people from trying to exit the fight when things aren't going their way.

The only people who are likely to be effected by Shadowbans and actually care about it are (i) Those that want to play in open and experience it's richness, and (ii) those that want to make an impact on the CG/BGS/Powerplay mechanics.

The threat of a shadowbanning, should really impact on anyone who falls into either of those categories in their place, because the punishment they're receiving for exploiting, is removing what they perceive to be the core features of the game.

If they don't fall into either of the two categories, it begs the question: Why are they even in open in the first place? If it's just to troll and grief other players with some bizarre semblance of social-justice warrior being their motive, or because they can't accept that sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes the bar eats you, then perhaps the game mode is not the place for them, and other players experiences of it might be better off without their inclusion.

I don't need no excuse.

Don't need, or need no? I'm a little confused, because what you've said means that you actually do need an excuse...

Of course there is! Worse thing you can do to a troll is ignoring him. Worse thing you can do to a griefer is logging on him.

Lol. Come on to FD's actual forum, and state that the best thing to do to a griefer is combat log, which goes against FD's rules and will result in your account getting banned. Good one. ;)

Double negatives can be used to stress the negation.
 
If you don't want to deal with the D Bags in OPEN, you can always move over to Solo or a Private game instead. Send a message to the jerk (s) that are griefing you that you do have an choice, and the more they insist on being jerks to other players, the less and less they will find ANY human players to screw with.
 
Disregard completely with this video.. it sounds like this guy's got a big chip on his shoulder and a lot of baggage.

I could see his point if he perhaps accepted at some point in the video that sometimes this kind of PvP happens for the actual ascribed reason (i.e. Powerplay, RP, etc) and his pop-psychology explanations for PK gratification are just, to put it bluntly, worse than psycho-analysis done by a teenage girl based on an article she found in Jackie, Seventeen or maybe even Heat.

Sadly just another social justice warrior with an axe to grind.

I just wanted to say, I had no intention of watching the video until I got to this post.

The ironic humor of your "rebuttal" would have made me snarf my coffee had I been drinking it. The sad thing is, I am fairly certain that you are serious...

*Shrugs*

Perhaps you should keep your comments on topic then, instead of writing some pithy insults directed at someone who has a different opinion than yourself regarding PvP in a computer game.
 
Wow, so it is acceptable for you to belittle someone, but being belittled is insulting??!

Pray, keep going, you're improving my mood with your statements.

OP makes a post about how a video is good

I state I disagree with it for a reason, which I cite. I also suggest that a 30+ minute video that typecasts anyone who PvP's in this game as a bad individual is perhaps a very naive way of looking at things. I then spend several posts defending my position.

You come in to post a snarky attack directed at myself for this and don't discuss the video's content, or even the reasons why you think I'm wrong.

Remind me again which one of us is off-topic?
