Live stream format change - Ed

Everyone can already enjoy Open.
People who feel the need to go to private while complaining about Open are just too lazy to get better and prefer to blame others or the game than face their own weakness.

The game already all the tools to survive. It is up to players to use them

I am streaming in Open and have no issue with stream sniper. How is this possible ???

r/justneckbeardthings is leaking.
 
How do you figure that? Because that's not what I'm hearing.

They get quite irate just mentioning the word Mobius.

OP: Ordinary Player
Member of a legendary stream sniping group 1 : MOALSSG1
Member of a legendary stream sniping group 2 : MOALSSG2
Both Memebers of a legendary stream sniping group : BMOALSSG

MOALSSG1: ..lest you continue in your quotations and mention the name of the
"PVE Group".

MOALSSG2: Oh-ho... never fear, I shan't do that. (laughs)

OP: By the "PVE Group", I assume you mean *Mobius*.

BMOALSSG: Aahhhhh! (slapping each others hands, pat-a-cake fashion) Hot potato,
off his drawers, pluck to make amends. (pinch each others noses)
Aaahh!

OP: What was that?

MOALSSG1: We were exorcising evil spirits. Being but a mere ordinary player, you will not
know the great stream sniping tradition that one does *never* speak the name
of the "PVE Group".

OP: What, *Mobius*?

BMOALSSG: Aahhhhh! Hot potato, off his drawers, pluck to make amends. Ohhh!

OP: Good lord, you mean you have to do *that* every time I say *Mobius*?

BMOALSSG: Aahhhhh! Hot potato, off his drawers, pluck to make amends. Owwww!

MOALSSG1: Will you please stop saying *that*! Always call it the "PVE Group".

OP: So you want me to say the "PVE Group"?

BMOALSSG: YES!!!

OP: Rather than *Mobius*?

BMOALSSG: Aahhhhh! Hot potato, off his drawers, pluck to make amends. Owwwwww!
 
How is the game client going to tell if its owner is stream sniping? :eek:

And by Anarchy I'm not just talking about Anarchy systems in the Bubble, I'm talking about every star system which is uninhabited, which comprises more than 99% of the ED galaxy. Or is that Lawless?

FD clearly indicated karma will be both manual modding and trend based.

Expect stream snipping adding you to nasty waters really fast.

But lawless is lawless. Anything goes there. Aside from combat logging which will still affect your karma.

Then karma will solve nothing outside of inhabited systems. Which means explorers get the shaft again, for example. :)
 
Good call going private.....it had to be done. Other choice was to start banning players. It was pretty childish what was going on.
 
Then stream sniping is not harassment and perfectly fine with FDev TOS. Wonderful isn't it!

Yes, it's that question that this thread is about; "Is stream sniping harassment?" I'm glad you are willing to openly state you don't think stream sniping is harassment though - that speaks volumes! :)

Now, let's see if Frontier will give us an answer about their thoughts on harassment...

The game is not intended for everyone to play in their own PG.

Yes, any mode is valid, but the game asvertised as "cut throat galaxy, hunt other cmdrs".

When you are buying the game, you dont know anything about private groups/solo.
You are buying it as an "OPEN WORLD MUTIPLAYER" (as advertised) and this is how it supposes to be played by the people who created said game.

All modes are valid, but open mode is how the game was advertised.

Killing commanders in open world space shooting game via stream snipe or regularly is not a harrasment, they are welcome to stream in pg/solo.

Harrasment is homophobic / racial slur in the comms.

Ah, there's the all caps name, can you call me/anyone a coward or carebear please so I can shout 'BINGO'....thanks in advance.

By the way, 'harassment' goes well beyond just your narrow description there, those things are indeed classed as such but so is a lot more.

Please inform me what is considered a harrasment in ED.

In large, friendly letters the advertising mentions:
"FLY ALONE, OR WITH FRIENDS",
"PLAY YOUR WAY"
"Experience unpredictable encounters with players from around the world in Elite Dangerous' vast massively multiplayer space. Fly alone or with friends in a connected galaxy where every pilot you face could become a trusted ally or your deadliest enemy."

All modes are equal.

Agreed. So it's up to FDev to take action against those CMDRs breaching the policy.

Ed has already said that he planning some "Get Good" livestreams where he'll be tutored in PvP:

"This is amazing! I've come to expect it on streams at this point. I actually escaped the first time! Just couldn't make it after the second interdiction...
I will be doing some "get good" style livestreams where I'm trained up by various communities in the art of PVP. Coming soon....

Edit - also worth noting that I am more of a target than most... not only am I streaming the game (which already puts people under fire) but I'm on the official developer streams - I have a HUGE target symbol on my ship. For that reason I don't believe this is representative of "real" open gameplay experience for most players."

Nice post GTuk.

It is important to point out how nice Ed answer is.


All modes are equal.
All modes are equal regarding BGS impact.

Fixed.

You are welcome.
