Too bad there wasn't a time period where we could have tested this system and solved this problem, along with the other problems of PC battles in general... like capturing planets.... you know an actual test that didn't involve a completely untested system to work right straight out of the gate.....whereby players didn't waste 80million on a lag filled frame rate dropping waste of time..... you know a BETA.
Seriously, though the ideas here are not likely to get any thing but a cursory glance at and that is only by the forum mod team to make sure the flames don't get too outrageous.
So you have a corp with say 108 players, each one of them wants to play in a PC battle, divide that by 18 is 6 , that is 80 million times 6 is 480,000,000 million isk just to try to give everyone 1 game not to mention that if you win it will take another battle at least so say you win 1/2 that is another 240,000,000.
I keep seeing posts saying it is okay to use your allies for a battle, most of the ideas here say that to stop using them is the fix to this which is just silly to me, then why have allies.... oh yeah because there are only enough capture-able planets out there for maybe what 50 corps, and how many do we have available currently...which is odd that would not be in a sticky....still waiting for an official list of every in-play planet.
All this gets trumped by the simple fact that someone 'new' joined a battle that shouldn't be there, easy fix, kick them...ahem there is a reason why it is in a lot of other games. Pub anyone join instant or merc battles no, but PC heck yeah.
Simple solution, there needs to be an OIC in charge of the battle, they have control over the queue, who gets in etc. Now the tricky part as I found out tonight, I was playing with some allies, the horrible frame rate lag hit hard but there was no way for me to rejoin the battle and I had a modest amount of warpoints built up, so i was forced to spawn in and do what I could, which was die after throwing out nano-hives if the framerate let me.
So what happens if the OIC gets lagged or disconnected?
It is a very basic system that they threw at us and to be honest, why should I do their job.... it is not like they will just do whatever they can or want at any given time and only tell a select few.
We need a deep throat on the cpm someone like kissinger who blows the lid off water gate, not just uses the somewhat advantageous information for their own benefit. |

To paraphrase....

You can call me a carebear all you want. I don't want CCP to hold my hand, but I don't want to lose out on playing with some people because there is no way to kick a griefer from the squad, and I am sorry but I don't have the time or patience to hire a private detective to do deep background on any new players; I'm here to play a game where I can get some friends together and have a good time in the game; not in the lobbies of games talking about nonsense.... oh man Bob got into Blob and 3 weeks from now when they are in PC it is going to be so epic when I team kill them (which is still a no-no under the tos for the psn/sen) does it make a difference- NOT even a little bit. And again 90% of this is about griefing, as I have yet to hear about the fact that Bob was a member of Zerg who is the team that is actually fighting Blob.... so if you just want to grief other people at least own up to it. Put aside this nonsense of saying it is lore related or part of the meta game.... all it says it that ccp didn't give us enough to do in game to keep us distracted long enough to fix this situation or at least delay the arrival of it for 6 months.
This is becoming similar to the discussions I am sure native american indians had about the white man appearing and taking the land.
All you who want spies have it to easy, there is a reason why the kick feature is in a lot of games for a lot of different reasons, TK by the color blind lav driver....right.... and we are only talking about PC battles here, everything else is up for grabs.
Does the lore say why there is horrible framerate lag?
Hi you own an interstellar corporation capable of clone mind transfer, when not travelilng across the vastness of space flying around in a space ship, you shoot giant guns and use vehicles.... but to kick a player from a match for being a dink is so far beyond the realm of what is right it should not even be discussed... sad and pathetic.
Not once did i hear about what happens after the spy has done their thing, only that they need to be able to do this thing, it is not like it would be hard for them to set up another character for the free to play game, like maybe a Pay game would have at least the chance to keep the griefer numbers down. But since you can change your name more easily than you can your playstyle there is nothing to do. |
