Problems Stemming From The Last Event
Posted: Sun Dec 18, 2005 5:26 am
To all those whom seam to have a problem with the way that the last event was played.
After being offline for a while towards the end and after the event, I have recently come across what I would class as Extremely Childish behaviour stemming back to the way in which certain players and guilds played the last event.
I am one of those that seems to have upset some other players by my actions in the event. While in the event I could to some point understand their problems but did not aggree with them. What I can not understand is why these select players are disgruntled now the event has finished, I mean all the problems where really with the way the devs setup the event.
It was a FACTION vs FACTION event, with the sole basic directive of get to the mats and hold the ground for the harvesters to collect what they can. This meant attacking the enemy FACTION and either driving them back or killing them outright, and as in real life, war claims many a harvesters life. Once the harvesters have the mats they can port back and either craft or dump for a crafter to make the mission item.
This is a cycle that continues until the end of the game and balances out.
The way the other players wanted to play It, with PEACE treaties and let there harvesters dig here cause where mates does not play the game the way it was designed to be played. If you are behind in your factions target then letting the others harvesters dig can be cruitial to your defeat.
A very basic concept that proved very difficult to get right.
I have no hard feelings to any other player stemming from this last event and if I did have a problem with the way something was planned, I would take it to the people that made it that way. Yes I mean the devs, I would contact the devs either directly or through a GM and let them know of these problems that are being developed within the classes of players during these events.
My apologies if I have again offended someone with my comments here today but just had to get them off my chest after seeing such a display of childish behaiour.
The Main Moral is .. Stop, Think then act.
Thanks for your time .
