Modes Play in open is not what some would have you believe!

Wow, what an odd response to a perfectly reasonable post where a player is describing their experiences. Obviously you cared enough to comment no? It's amazing seeing the reaction this harmless post is getting from certain people...

Why would you be amazed? There is at least one of these Guilt Trip based advertisements for Open Mode a week on here. As someone else pointed out... Odd how you never see similar adverts to join Solo or Private Groups.

Why is that?

The fact that none of these OPs can post one of these threads without getting in at least a couple of jabs about being afraid, hiding, or whatever other derogatory innuendo you can come up with isn't lost on us either.

Do they not understand that it is more the unpleasant, passive aggressive/confrontational attitude of so many of the Open Mode fanboys that is the primary turn-off?

I've always said that all the "No one plays in Open Mode anymore" whiners are their own worst enemies.

Your comments are falling into that same category whether you realize it or not.

Stop feigning ignorance.
I refuse... If feigning ignorance is ceased, what else woule be left for feign to, well, feign?
Seriously, feigning ignorance is much preferred to those that feign intelligence.
Okay, my enjoyment of the word 'feign' was ran its course, my apologies. It just looked strange, as words sometimes do. Please, continue.

Because he is feigning ignorance in an attempt to bait people.
 
Know better about what, the experience the OP had? He's just saying he enjoys it, and recommends others try it as well. And this triggers everyone how?

I’ve had plenty of Open experiences - all negative - right down to some hero who apparently macroed a string of obscenities and proceeded to spam the chat channel my last time out.
Yea. You keep it and I’ll stick to a PG. I see other pilots there just fine and don’t have to worry about being station-rammed by some keyboard commando.

Guess not.

Guilt trip? Is this a forum for the game or for emotionally unstable weirdos with a messed up sense of perspective? Seriously.. Is there something wrong with you? There is a 66 page thread in general called "Open Play Trolls". One person says something nice about it in the same forum, and the usual faces are here saying the same old garbage, one even asking for the thread to be moved to another section of the forum. If that other thread can stand, why not this? When you say : "Do they not understand that it is more the unpleasant, confrontational attitude of so many of the Open Mode fanboys that is the primary turn-off for many of those who want nothing to do with it?".. all you have done is confirm what i already believe, that this silly reaction to the OP is down to some "forum fanboy war" than any desire to discuss the game. It's pretty pathetic to be honest.. nothing in he OP's post was "confrontational".. oh and i'm not making any innuendo. I genuinely have a derogatory attitude to your hypersensitive nonsense and childish forum politics. There isn't enough face-palm in all the world for this "community".

To be quite fair, I see far more aggresive and insulting behavior from those who oppose open than the ones that urge others to consider trying it. I made friends with many players that are hated for their murder-hobo'ing just by fighting them when they attacked me and conversating with them. In the end, we all have the right to play how we wish, so long as we aren't preventing the enjoyment of others. With private groups and solo, everyone has a safe place to play.

To those that hate pvp'ers, remember: you can hate them all you want, but escape is a mode swap away. They can't chase you into private or solo to ruin your day. One of the reasons I wholeheartedly endorse playing all modes to find your own fit. I just wish the private groups on xbox were larger (unless they got ninja buffed) so more people could enjoy a pvp-free galaxy.

Love your fellow commanders. Because they all love you. Some just love you more with ketchup.

Ah, I see now. A hyper-sensitive and childish SJW to the rescue.

That is actuallya violation of the terms of use. Irony if you had reported them and they get locked to solo... Hilarious irony lol.
 
Its admirable...that youve taken a positive stance...and good going on you for trying.

Really. Kudos.

That said:

Do you honestly , HONESTLY feel like this is going to be a constructive thread?

There are those who play in Open.
There are those who do not.

Suggesting ways to make Open more appealing might be one approach, and one ive tried myself.

But trying to convince people this way is only going to end one way:

around 52 pages of people crapping all over each other. Seen it a thousand times and this will be exactly the same.

How about everyone just play whatever mode is good for them?

I play SOLO in VR due to limited keyboard access for comms or if I’m focused on a task and don’t want to be disturbed.

I play PG in one of several groups depending on if I want to do something like exploring a Guardian puzzle with like minded players who value the same things in game that I do.

I play OPEN when I want to meet new people and be generally social and see what’s happening in hot spots and don’t mind being sidetracked or waylaid. I also like to join random crews if there are any.

I play ARENA when I want to have some quick combat in great environments that is more exciting to me than ships circling each other in space. (and when I can get a match)
