Really I don't mean to sound like that. In fact I was not responding to you on this post at all. Maybe it's you that feels "The world revolves around me", to attack me for my post??. You seem a bit confrontational with your posts. In fact go re read your posts. I only expressed my opinion, it differs from yours, so I am attacking you. Ok hows this.. Yipppeeee PvP me want it!!!! It's great, want to get me some lv 10 miner and gank him til he quits.. or wait at a gate and blast him before his loading screen lets him into the game. Yahoooo that sounds great. If you took the time to read my other posts I have offered suggestions on PvP, I have played games with it, and I don't care for it. Deal with it or don't. But me being truthful and saying that if this server goes open friggin PvP I am gone. I already said that if it is something that does not affect my game play then fine, you all can go bash yourselves silly.

Like PvP or not, I think that the Devs have already started working on it. If it comes sooner rather than later, I'm sure I will pull up and move on. I think the other server has committed to being as EnB was at sunset. If this is true I'm thinking that I may move my game play time and allegiance, and support (donations) to their efforts. We have a choice now. The choice we have may be why there have been no Devs weighing in on this conversation. I still don’t understand why every game that comes along HAS to have some form of PvP in it? And seriously if it’s PvP you want there are tons of other games that have it, I won’t tell anyone to leave this game, but hey go get your PvP fix and come on back. Oh, and with only 300 players (with alts) are there really enough players to do any real faction type of PvP? And of those 300 players (with alts) how many even want PvP?

The first programmer in the history of computers to NOT have bugs or issues with their code... BRAVO!!!! Are you a GOD?

You are very welcome for the BIG n BOLD word! As for why am I here? I like it here, and it would get very lonely all by myself... As for the other site nope, not gonna do it.

Wrong... I know of another public server up and running and I have the complete server code and the db (someplace) from Aug. of last year. So Avani saying "make a PvP server" is spot on. It could be done, with a bit of work. If all is wanted is PvP I'd think content is really not what is of interest so this code would most likely fit the PvP crowds perfectly.

"I would do this with no reward (bonus mission mega reward) other than being able to spend my time in what remains of this test cycle testing." <- from prior post I think you missed my point. I was offering to test your missions be it level 1 or level 150. It seems as they are so fluid and ever changing, the amount of testing on these may not be optimal, I offered to do them just to test them. Not for a reward. I know you have said that you have one tester in prior posts and I am sure he/she does a great job. If you are happy with your testing results fine with me. I do listen to the chat channels and there does seem to be a fair amount of issues with these missions. So it seems there could be more testing done. This is a STRESS TEST after all.

Not exactly true... I have played PvP games, I enjoyed some, and hated others. Ryzom's downfall was forced PvP, guilds were split old friends could not group, and even getting to guild halls was impossible for some. Pirates of the burning Seas was another that started out with PvP...You knew from the start if it's red you are dead. The problem I see is the "whip it out and measure" syndrome. If you can smack someone around you are going to do it. If done the way I enjoy, you beat someone and they have the option to drop their sails and the match is over, then PvP is cool. But and a big BUT here most will not play PvP like this, it is how can I spoil this players day...because I can. This sucks... not just it sucks to be you, but sucks in general. Look at POTBS dwindling servers, people lose interest in not being able to just relax and enjoy a game. EnB is for some IS that escape from the day to day issues. Getting more real life issues in a game...well we may as well put in for over time. Stay at work. I love EnB, if there were some PvP in some area that made no real difference to me if I went there or not, then hell yes go for it. Some need it, some have to flex their muscles and have others see it to enjoy their games, Ok cool, I can always turn off the chat channel of the chest thumpers. I can always refuse or accept the challenge.. But if that choice is taken away from me...then I object.

I’m happy you took the stance of only “certain sectors” if and when. As I have said before we/you/the Devs really can’t make those sectors have any special ores or special drops without at least giving the non PvPers an equal opportunity to get those items. I also think that if open PvP did get put into EnB, many many many of the remaining 300 players would leave. I know it has been a pet project, on a back burner. And I hope it is truly held off on until the game gets in a closer state to being called “done”. Really guys, I’m not about keeping others from having their ganking fun, well as long as I am not the gankee. But if it does come to any sort of open PvP, the player count will for sure:)rop to 299.

I sense it is getting closer to the end of this stress test. I would like to suggest that the Progen missions have the requirements of the prior Hull Upgrade missions be removed (just for the rest of this ST). The rationale for this is that …well I’m bored and would love to test the missions for content, ease of understanding the steps, and basic game play. I would do this with no reward (bonus mission mega reward) other than being able to spend my time in what remains of this test cycle testing. Rather than ammo comp collecting, and faction building/destroying (Faction seems to be working now btw). Say the word and I will jump right in. As a bonus to you, I test and document with screen shots. The results I put into a pdf for ease of distribution and specific bug locations and severity.

You might try here, lists sectors/mobs and ores...not locations but HEY! you should have some artistic prerogative http://www.earthandbeyond.ca/sectormap/

Site as well as the game was down for me this morning... anyone else? I could not even ping either site.

I wanted to thank you all for whatever you did to the mob spawns. They work great now.. Almost too good It is fun to be a lvl 150 again. Definitely a pucker factor now with 6+ Ten-Gu at the same time, where it was one or two if I was lucky. Thank you again, Mim

I was reporting this for a friend. It was reported to a GM the other morning; without a satisfactory answer short of this must be the way it is now. I will see if this player can add more detail. Thanks for the response. Mim

lol nothing much is spawning in cooper.

Have the JEs fire power been altered in anyway in one of the latest pushes? If so why? If not why would some be having issues? Should this be reported as a bug? Is this another change that was not communicated and could be reported as a bug and waste alot of not only your time but ours as players.

I had the same issue with AT&T, many if not all of the AT&T mail servers are on black listed lists. Something about mail relay or some such. I don't think it is true, but hackers be hackers and AT&T is a big target. Go Here to check if your mail server is one of the blacklisted servers. http://www.mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx?AG=GBL&gclid=CJud7LXx5aECFWI65wodJ0XQIw When I was with AT&T it was almost an every 6 month thing to request we be removed from the lists. Good Luck.

You are correct, thank you... but I swear the other day nothing was dropping from them except vendor items. All is as it should be??

are you sure? was there yesterday and nothing but eyes and hides...well sometimes an archo or two.

yepper

I would like to respectfully request that the ammo comps be put back on the Ten-Gu in cooper. I have gone into the FB and it seems that these ammo comps are rarer now than the weapons that use them. You don’t have to bring them back to the levels that they were dropping, but soon the lack of non pm comps will make my level 9 weapons good for nothing more than place holders in my vault. Thank you in advance for your consideration on this, Mimir

I get the mega post size as well, sometimes but not always. If it makes me cranky I switch from IE8 to Firefox and don't ever see it there.

Annnnnd... To play a free game it seems a match, free Virtual Box...Free Game.

lol was not trying to piss anyone off. And communicate changes or don't, no big deal to me. If these changes are as planned then that's ok too. I won't report any weird changes (differences from a few days ago) if they are as intended. I ask in game and seems that everyone is in the dark as I. On the live comment it looks to me that it is used as a matter of convenience answer. If someone says “X” then the response is well it was “X” in live. Or at other times someone says this is not as it was in live, and the answer is “Z” is better. I do understand this is a work in progress… but there was something mentioned a bit ago about better communication. -Edit -- Oops I already posted a weird thing in the bug forum. sorry

I just wonder if we could hear the rationale for the changes? Was it like this in live? Are we (they) still shooting for like “live” or is this going to be how it in mow in the emu? I also noticed even with the weird mob behavior that loot tables have been changed quite a bit as well. There have been lots of changes lately but no post on what or why … that I can find.

I was running fine this morning, but now same thing is happening. I get to the password, and as soon as the hand shows up, poof, back to the desk top. Is there any way to turn on error logging? Someone said this morning there was some server/router issues between the US and EU. I'm not sure if this is my issue?
