Some people have to use those servers to get their best connection, you know.

Goes to Oceania to test.

Complains when people come to play.

Gonna need a fresh tear bucket.

How would they know you are testing? And like said some people do play there so you telling them that they "can't" doesn't feel super.

"Testing" is one round away from screwing others over for easy kills too lol This is New Eden after all, I'm sure lots would say "I'm testing" and then shoot them in the back.

Oceanic servers are the best option to test things out in a certain timezone, but it still stays a playing server and stuff like that will happen weter people are aware of your testing or not.

You're better of for lobbying for a test-server (or atleast a other server option where no WP,... can be gained or something like that) to CCP/CPM after all the results you already have posted on this forums that definitly has helped this game.

With that being said I think there is a chance you will only attract more douchebags with a post like this.

oceanic has been dubbed the afker server.....

we see people that only come to oceanic to afk, is there any reason why you couldnt test on the American server?

I don't see a reason, perhaps you could enlighten us?


also, make sure your corpies are told they will get kicked from your corp if they afk, and that afking on oceanic is a big no-no... then maybe people will respect what you are trying to do... at which point my question still remains... any reason why testing on the american server is an unreasonable expectation? :P

I sware dust is the only game where players are so self centerd that they are utterly incapable of seeing how there actions ruin others enjoyment of the game. Or if they do they don't care and I'm not sure which is worse.

And this only matched by ccp being one of the worst devs iv seen at policeing their own game. It's very discouraging when the servers are so empty as the norm that players log onto them just boost or look for more exploits

I already mentioned that the testing was a good thing for the game, but if he feels the need to complain about getting killed in a game that is meant to be played while I'm pretty sure that Oceanic players have also asked to solve all these issues than ruin the game for them then yes we are allowed to call him out for it. That's how it is and for the record he made the decision to make the smartass remark to say that it were people from my corp implying I'm a douchebag too :-). (It's always possible those guys were new to the game, don't know how to switch servers and all they see is AFKing and testing things out.....)

I can also start a thread where I State to test dropship in American servers and go cry me a river everytime I get shotted down!

It's not the Oceanic players fault that CCP made an error by releasing this game too soon.

As a CPM you should present both parties and go to CCP and tell to make a test-server or go back to beta or something like that.

You didn't read or understood what you read and until consented battles come back in we're not going to see aeon be able to test in peace and unfortunately its not part of the roadmap.

What you don't undstand is that I'm not a mindreader and that there are players not happy with what people are doing in Oceanic games in a game that is supposed to be "released"...I say it is fair game.

Oooooh I'm scared now...I'm sorry I called you out on your bullshit.

Atleast we'll get players on Oceanic then...where are you going to test then?

BTW: IWS just said CCP said it doesn't want you to test in peace yet...deal with it.

Regardless of which server you're on, it is still an "active" game, and not a test server. To think that everyone will just leave you be to do your own thing seems a little nieve (seriously, have you never played an online game before?).

The ONLY way you'll avoid this is if you can somehow manage to fill the match with only people who are in on the testing and who you can trust not to interfere. Good luck with that.

Otherswise, unless they introduce either a test server or private matches, you'll just have to test at your own risk.

Yeah, american servers are full pretty much 24/7, but the oceanic rooms are usually open, making it a great place to "test", but, Southern Legion, (an australian corp i believe) definitely has the right to protest your nuclear testing or whatever you are doing on their hometurf....... so to speak.

And how I'm a merc and I'm just an individual.

And how you try to hide your immature complaining about getting killed behind someone elses corporation, so I get kicked from my corp...then what?

And how CCP doesn't care about a specific playerbase.

The thing here, RK, may I call you RK?


RK, the thing here is that by interfering with them, you are actually hurting yourself. Aeon is providing a service, much like the Egyptian Plover. An example I might also use that might strike closer to home is the Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse.

These are symbiotic animals that clean the mouths of deadlier predators. They get a food chain pass due to the service they provide. Kind of one of those cool unwritten rules of nature.


So I assume you see where I am going with this?

Sorry Aeon, but I have to point out some thing here. This was the first reply you got that wasn't 'mindless trolling', yet you had to reply to it as if it was, and mind you, in a trolling fashion too:

That's not really what I meant.

If I was in a game, and I happened upon two opposing players, one allowing the other to shoot him repeatedly, my first thought would probably be that they were boosting or cheating, not that they were testing weapon damage (as a hypothetical example).

At the same time, two players who actually were boosting could easily claim that they were simply "testing", in order to continue their cheating unabated.

Personally, I've always been big on testing, myself. I'm curious that way and like to know how things work. Unfortunately, testing in a live game environment is not without it's challenges and difficulties, and interferrence from other players is inevitable and should be expected.

This is EXACTLY why test servers exist in the first place, so testers can do their thing, free from interruptions such as these.

If you want to be a testing crew then you have to be aware that it comes with risk and there is a chance to get killed, aeon seems to be aware of that judging from his post where he states that there is less risk on Oceanic servers.

If he gets killed? So what? Charge it to the game...take a protective team with you....don't cry on the forums, crybabies get called out all the time on these forum but for some reason there are different rules for aeon? Again where is the FREE WORLD part that New Eden is sooo know for? yet I can't call it fair game?

Thanks for answering a PART of my post.

If only 6 persons are allowed on one side (and the opposite team seperated due to map-design), it isn't that hard to find 6 people to test with you without interruption of players aware or not-aware of your testing activities? Anyway it's seems it's no use to suggest a creative solution but I could also ignore all the other parts of your post and say you're wrong.

It was a response to IWS.

Isn't that what you do now? grab some people and not actually play the game to test things out? but then complain about getting killed while in such a game-mode you could do all the testing you want without getting disturbed?

I call you a cry-baby because well...you are crying.

I wonder why you made this thread then?

I guess we are done here.

Or he forms up two full squads and sincs on Oceana inside Skirmish matches during peak North America hours. Highest provability of getting AFK-ers, long matches, big maps, and one third of the potential risks are removed.

Of the few times I've hung out on Oceana all the combat action was in Domination and Ambushes. Even those didn't always fill up.

Read this thread again and try to figure out how the Oceanic player base feels.

Complaining isn't going to help. New Eden is a free world, bring a protective team.

Done.
