    More weapon mounts are not needed. learning how to use what you have to the best of your ability and succeed make you a better player, not more guns/devices.

    Moral of the story: Play a class with the amount of guns you wish to have to start with, then get good at playing them.

    And those people will probably end up on the GM Firing line. ;P

    ****ponders the intricacies of that response *****

    ***Decides that joyous happy happy joy joy tells to others is in his best interest*****

    That being said...I know grieving others is a matter of perspective. I'll be honest here and probably stir up some stuff in my honesty.

    There are several guilds that were on Orion that grieved others. Some of the biggest grievers are friends and or ex/guildmates of Devs and/or are associated with them in some shape or form. SO what will be done by the Dev community to these friends that think they are above the law. What will happen to those that complain about these friends/ex(current) guildmates that do not think their crap doesn't stink. Who is policing their activity's to make sure their ego is in check and this Emu is not a "who ya know, gets ya ahead" game.

    I am not attacking the Devs, I am just wanting assurances that people I know needed to be banned in live and are here now are not influencing former friendships, and are just here to test and play this game like everyone else.

    Hmmmmmmm..... I'm really curious about something.

    If the "game mechanics" gave credit to the first to strike a MOB, which side of the argument would you fall on, the side who says "I shot it first, so neener neener, the game mechanics say I screw you", or "Jeez dude, why be such an ass, we were here first."?

    It's a hypothetical, of course. All the arguments in this thread have been hashed out again and again in every game. It is interesting to see how people think tho. I've always noted 2 fairly disparate outlooks on it.

    For me it's always been situational.

    In this game, I go about my business and usually don't try to KS, sometimes it happens and typically i apologize if i felt i was in the wrong. Now if someone starts yelling in local that i picked the wrong class as they zoom in and attack the target Ive started attacking, is going to get my blood up a bit, and i would then feel obligated to make sure they left the area so i could be in my zen farming stage again....meaning I would pull out all stops to get more damage in than them, if possible.

    In other games it depends on a few things....

    Are they the same faction? Would try to group to get a quest done faster

    Are they lower lv than me and questing to level as opposed to just farming? Also, ask if they need help or move away a little to let them finish their quest.

    Is it a rare spawn? For achievement that i need, and possible loot drop i would try to get it

    Or am I just aoe farming and not paying attention to who is around......i would continue what i was doing unless i got a tell saying they needed a mob, then Id offer to help more than likely

    I do find the resulting posts amusing. If Ever had a JD he should have been on it. I never complain if someone outguns me. They deserve the kills since they are following E&B game mechanics. Players that bring their own personal "code of conduct" or "belief system" to the game and try to use that as an excuse, for anything they do in game, are doing just that.....using an excuse. The game mechanic is very simple. Don't hide behind excuses....I never did with my 5x150 toons during live and I will not now.

    I posted this as I am tired of people bitching about KSing in [New Player], [Market], or in this case a tell and tells to my guild's officers. This is the first such accusation I have received while playing this game and I was offended by the threats. This guy is trying to leverage his guild against others and threaten to inflict consequences for a game design action. This is intolerable and in my mind is close to violating the TOS. In no way was I a dick or jerk.....read the text in the screen shot. I killed a mob that we were both camping....a mob I have been camping, on and off, for three days. Is it valid to say it was "my kill because I have been camping that spot or three days?" Certainly not.

    I do like the bar analogy. Let me tell you how I get drinks in a crowded bar. I hold up a $100 dollar bill so the bartender can see it. I get my beer, and usually anything else I want for the rest of the night, quite quickly...and the bartender gets $100. I bring the right 'gun' to the 'fight' and I 'win.' Not my fault if others do not understand the "game" as it is designed.

    Have fun folks = ]

    So yelling in chat that You picked the right class at the log in screen gives you the right to warp into any nav and kill something when you can clearly see someone there fighting. Well that's really good to know, especially since you think anyone that picked a miner or trader picked the wrong class. Hope your guild has deep pockets and can get you everything you need in game, cause as far as I am concerned i know I am one builder that won't make a single thing for you with your attitude. Elitist attitudes like yours are one of the things i had hoped would not pop up again in the emu, oh well we can't have everything.

    I don’t know, but I don’t think $300 is all that much, I mean about all you can use it for is to buy a good size group some pie and ice cream. It’s not like they can go to a lot and drive off in a new Lamborghini. It’s so little that if it were spent on any personal things, the rest of the dev team would feel left out and there could be squabbling. I’m sure a good deal of it goes for server rental fees. Whatever is left from all the monthly fees is probably going to a savings for when they are ready to build or buy a server rather than rent one. Something like that is not cheep, I wouldn’t bid under $1k(US) for a wee minimal mmorpg server which would be actually about at cost (not that I’m bidding). Most likely, they will want at least a few k to start for a build, nothing fancy, multi unit, but still it’ll take some savings and $300 is hardly a dent in that.

    And it’s not like they haven’t been transparent in the past as they have mentioned what servers (the past one) they were renting etc.., but I mean what is the point of making an itemized report every month for ~$750 which yes is about minimum for operating costs at this point if I know what I’m talking about… and I do heh. If you don’t know what rentals cost, you should go browse around 1and1 dot com and look at moderate to upper-end dedicated servers. I’m mean not my choice, co-loc is better (and elsewhere), but you need the funds to buy your hardware first.

    <---want's ice cream and pie

    edit: "Not directed to Daywolf" and on a side note....Enjoying the new server this stress is based on? It wasn't bought with somones personal funds you know....that "missing cash" is not missing , you see it everytime you've logged in during ST4

    JEs have lots of roles:

    - Instant Reactor Recharger (a Battery if you must).

    - Damage/Enviromental Resistance Buff.

    - Removing a chunk of a mob's shield.

    - Jumpstart.

    - Cloaking an entire group (once the code correctly works).

    - Crowd Control (compulsory contemplation is similar to a Mage's Sheep in WoW).

    - Pushing a Mob away incase it gets to close to the group(when the Fold Space issue is fixed).

    - Mining for Explore XP, while your combat buddies protect you.

    - Scouting for a party with their increased Sensor Scan and Navigate boosts.

    - Using Beams so you can act like additional storage for your combat buddies ammo supplies, while you guys fight mobs.

    - Participate in DPS of a group (at range) with projectiles. There is a very nice level 8 Projectile for Jenquai which is sold at Jove's Fury.

    - Wormhole, to move you and your party across the galaxy (WHs are going to get a face lift at some point for a few new spots).

    - Etc.

    The JEs have a lot of roles they can perform. The overall niche is that of a Reactor Battery that is also a taxi, just like in Live.

    On a side note: You guys jump to conclusions to fast. Mining will get a face lift as well, down the road. Right now though, we have other more "pressing" goals to work on.

    - Marco

    Thanks Marco...some of that stuff I forgot about since it's still in the works :lol: i really wasn't trying to put the class down, just couldn't think of anything, hehe.

    lol if I wasn't so stuffed with bake to rise pizza tonight, I'd be hurting too. Luckily I have time for a supermarket run in the morning :)

    ZOMG!!! ok...man...now I have to log....I can't take the awesome food comments!!!...now I need pizza....ugh... ***I am a slave to awesome food remarks and will remain one forever more*** Curse you Daywolf!!

    joking btw :D

    yeah....lots of fun trying to get to a sector of space you once could find hidden navs to and warp your way there and enjoy your game play, oh yeah....boy did i love that....

    now your pretty better off forgetting Roc ever existed and go on your merry way ignoring that part of the system until you can withstand the lv 66 manes that were never there in live attacking you....oh wait....you cant, even in a group,... LOL...my bad, take the quality loss, it's no big deal, LOL....what fun WE are having!!

    As it is right now, abilities don't pull aggro.

    Using A JT and healing my ass off, I didn't pull aggro off of people doing more damage than me. So the aggro thing, not needed.

    However, JE specific buffs could be benificial. Just help me figure out what they are, other than group debuffs....*scratches head**

    can someone tell me what the JE group buffs are?

    I am not trying to be an ass or anything, but honestly what does a JE offer a group other than damage resist buffs? Other classes can cover these, so what now is a JE nitche?

    Not dis'ing the class, but umn.....maybe the devs need to start looking at this stuff to make a JE more lucrative to combat groups.

    Reese's peanut butter cup ice cream over fresh apple pie ;)

    Otherwise I'd agree in most cases about cake and ice-cream... or ice-cream cake.

    Maybe we'll all be invited to the next EnB-EMU ice-cream party :blink:

    dude...you so suck! its almost 2 am and I have no ice cream, or cake, or peanut butter in the house...and now I wants some!!!!!! Argh!!!

    I think Terrell should be named the mission deity. After seeing so many quick responses to players that need help, this guy just lets them know (with the quickness) where to go and what to do.

    Hats off to you man, you deserve worship for your dedication!! (and yes I am being serious, Terrell is an awesome member of our community that deserves the respect due him!!)

    I'm running a Bacardi induced quad core rumrunner

    with a Hypnotic induced vid card running off 30% alcohol induced frame rate bilateral to the 45% vomit rate of alcohol consumption

    Add to this 2 gigabytes worth of maker's mark whiskey promotion video

    and the 30 linear gigabytes of jack daniels rebuttal promotion

    i think I got a sweet machine, has functionality and umph.

    why is it a grouping game... are you saying that the game cant be played in single player mode... are you judge dred now telling people what they are supposed to do... does anyone have a choice with you around?

    Avanti Avanti Avanti....let the lemmings think what they wish. We both know this game can be played multiplayer, or solo. They will be the first to say a class is overpowered because they lost a kill to it, they will be the first to complain that a group of players "stole" their mob. They will eventually learn that there are things you can do in this game solo, and things you can't. They will find the benefit of being in guilds with people that want to help, or they will spend their days wondering why they can't get anything better than vendor loot....You should feel pity for these souls as they have no clue what this game is about but think it resembles abominations like eve or wow, or even lineage and swg. These poor individuals have a preconceived notion of a game they more than likely are trying for the first time!

    Eventually they will see that their pathetic meanderings mean absolutely nothing in the grander scheme of things.

    I have noticed this on a JT as well, and I think it has to do with reload timers. missle/projectile/beam, 1 and 2 are the same and have a different reload than the third, so as you tab target to the next mob they fire but the third has recycled as it WAS NOT in a refire mode when you selected the next target and weapons 1 and 2 took the shot.

    Which brings up an interesting argument....(Because this really does happen, even if it's not intended). Are we supposed to be able to tab(which by default is set to map but I set to target closest enemy) target and have our weapons auto fire on them while the weapon is in cooldown mode?

    Example.....I kill a belter, I hit tab to switch next closest enemy which is...a lv 50 bio-extractor and am in range of hitting it....my weapons attack 2 sec later and Im pretty much dead, if my weapons had all been out of cooldown i would not have fired on it (possibly lived)......But since they were in the process of cooling down, they auto attacked.....Is this intended, or a bug?

    Oh, and im guessing im still the top poster ;)

    Does this mean I need to create a topic and reply to it 300+ times...Ive done it before....Kinda sad really, when your drunk and endlessly replying to your own post to have the 1 up on someone else that's probably asleep and not as concerned about forums posts as you.....omg...*shudders*....i think, I may need a forum intervention if I I had over 300 posts....

    SOmeone call Bravo network... or umn...damn...what channel is Intervention on? Well call them!!!! we need help!

    ok so yeah..im drunk and umn, I had fun :blink: Since slayers a good sport, I know he didnt take offense, hehe
