    I'm surprised at the hostility in this thread from Mimir and even from Kyp.

     

    Was " If you don't like the costs, we can absolutely go back to not having a play server. "

     

    ​Really necessary to add in at the end?

     

    The guy never said he didn't want to donate. He said he wanted a breakdown of costs.

    I haven't really played EnB in like 12 years. Getting back in, I have no clue about class optimization or where to go or what to do.

     

    Is there a getting started guide or like a leveling guide at all? It's honestly really confusing to me and there's no one around where I started out at.

     

    Also, I thought I remembered a third class for each race, or are those gone now?

    Perhaps a guild lair can be related to PvP somehow...

    Instanced guild vs guild combat in a pvp sector cut off from the rest of the server?

    Would need to make sure you have same numbers of players on each side...

    I like how you got rated negatively immediately for mentioning PvP.

    OMG I just looked up what a HO is...thanks for telling me this. Now my pocket money savings have somewhere else to go since I was able to buy a PSP.

    Wikipedia tells me male hoes also exist...how can female hoes be bad but males ones are ok? (removed)

    OMG again I checked that up! It sent me to a site called (Removed)...thanks for the tips Toreava, much appreciated!

    You're being sarcastic, right?

    Kids aren't playing Earth and Beyond.

    At least not kids that are young enough to be offended by the name "Wormho" or "Mofo"

    Kids play games like Warcraft and Halo on Xbox Live. They are exposed to much worse than "Wormho"

    I only took a brief view back through the thread and saw some run-of-the-mill, polite posts voted down, so I admit I really don't know the whole situation. I'm not about to try to be the niceness police, I just want the forums to be a friendly place, and it's no fun to be on the forums when people are having rep fights, lol. All I ask is that people not let things get out of hand or vote people down because of grudges or the like.

    I had a problem with the member in another thread outside of this I made, seeming as if any thread I make he just wants to nay-say and down vote me for no reason, and then I was getting down votes in the cross-racial class thread for posting like one or two words, that had nothing to do with negativity.

    But anyways, I haven't been on the forums for long, and I did tackle a sensitive subject considering PvP. I played during Stress Test 2 and 3, but never posted. Just from the looks of Stress Test 4 for me, it was time to bring up PvP.

    Yes, this issue was very rough at the start of this thread, but if you guys are going to vote me down for bringing up touchy subjects, then I suppose I'll deal with it, someone has to.

    First of all - that's not even an accurate quote AND you've assumed that the quote you made up was directed at you (yes, honestly, the world doesn't revolve around you - please don't take that as spitting on your ideas either). I WAS responding to C Del who had apologized - and I was saying no need to apologize. Somehow something not even directed at you became about you. I've sensed a continuing pattern here and I'm sure you'll be happy to know I'll just stay out of future conversations initiated by you as it's clear you don't solicit discussion anyway but rather universal concurrence and support (and, man, is an Internet forum the wrong place to need that). Good luck to you.

    Just relax man, I value your opinion as much as anyone elses. I just don't appreciate the first post you make, having nothing to do with the topic, being "Don't apologize, it's fine, I'm happy about not having this feature thats being suggested"

    Can you see at all how that may irk someone?

    You are awfully sensitive. I didn't say a single negative thing about your idea - how could that possibly be called spitting on your suggestions? Really, if anyone so much as dares to disagree with anything you say you take it very personally and then lash out.

    I'm only defensive because you come into a suggestion thread and go "I'm glad you can't do this, it's fine."

    Don't celebrate the denial of someones suggestion, man. That's all.

    This can be done in many forms in many parts of the game.

    This could also cut down or totally avoid KS'ing ( i understand we don't have too much of it most people in the stress test are nice, but there is a

    few guilds who live up to there reputation FROM live )

    Can't we mirror particular sectors for example if you wanted to mirror cooper, couldn't it be done to make an exact copy? this would not fit into the

    story line but would probably be universally accepted by everyone in the stress test as well as when we are finished and go gold.

    Would be nice to see a mirrored cooper when the game is finished and you can actually do the original intended raid from start to finish.

    ------------------

    Same goes for some job terminal sectors. unless plans move forward to add multi terminals and different job levels maybe you can mirror the most camped sectors to see how it goes.

    Just a thought.

    Are you talking about like, zones that would be like "Danger Zones", like, only high level people can go in them?

    Well as upset as I was on some his personal attacks on me. I have not done any neg. reps. I think I may be due to hit a couple though :D

    I have been trying to vote him up a bit too but cant keep up... I mean I disagred with some of what he said... but it really seemed like he was not trying to provoke a war although his 2nd post was a little rough he more than apologized for it...

    Aww, you're so nice :D

    So, I guess Arena is the way to go.

    Perhaps only custom made sectors will have open PvP.

    Nothing to be sorry about - I'm glad to hear it!

    You could at least not spit on peoples suggestions.

    I have half a mind you're the one giving me all my negatives.

    Regardless, we started talking about a different method of allowing ground combat than client modification, one that uses emotes and other things.

    You should read the whole thread.

    I don't think people realize that when they click the little minus sign to vote down a post, they're not actually remarking on the post, they're remarking on the user. Thusly, if you post something people disagree with, even if you didn't say anything inflammatory, you can get some negative reputation, lol.

    Heh heh.

    Or a few select people just hate me for making a new post about PvP since the board update.

    Oh I see... Well ... the only NPC walking monster asset we have is a vrix, and the only areas we can have walking are starbases, but I guess we could have starbases in the future where there are monsters wandering about if we can get people to design new NPC assets, but currently the combat would be clumsy with emotes.

    If we can get new monster assets, and if we can work out how to tie emotes to keys, then maybe ...

    Bingo.

    This was pretty much what I was talking about, but on a larger scale.

    I read everything you posted.

    It seems as if Arena is the real way to go.

    The dev's time needn't be wasted on creating a whole new PvP system anyway.

    Perhaps open PvP like I said earlier-

    Requirements:

    First logging in - Cannot be attacked for 60 seconds

    Zoning after gating - Cannot be attacked for 30 seconds

    Attackers must be within 4 combat levels of one another

    <sigh> you wanna give them knives?

    It _could_ be done as a way of settling disputes but really restricting it would be a nightmare. I don't think the majority of players would want this mod, unless it was specifically restricted to (say) somewhere like one of the out-of-the-way Progen outposts, where players are warned on entering:

    "Arx Emporos Spaceport: You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. You must be cautious."

    Wa La? What is that? Do you mean, "Voilà":)) ?

    Wa la. Haha.

    No, I was talking about making it more combat oriented, against some monster spawn in side Spaceports, not really PvP.

    Both sexes can shoot. It's only the last 3 emotes that are gender specfic. Race and Gender effects how they shoot (and most of the other emotes). A Progen woman doing the shoot emote is much more "animated" than a Jenquai male doing the same one.

    Interesting...

    Only Male toons can Judo. Female toons instead get Flip, Pirouette, and Rumpshake. Male toons get Judo, Moonwalk, and D'oh.

    So, can we add in weapons in the characters hand, like a melee knife or something for judo? Then add in damage?

    Wa la.

    I mean, could that work without being corny?

    I'll take a Progen Defender :)

    Or even cooler, a Jenquai Warrior :D

    Haha, why did I get rated down 2 points for this? I used my own positive to bump it up 1, but wow, haha.

    Edit:

    Why the heck did somebody rate this down also?

    Who is rating me down? I'm really getting sick of this.

    Explore I'd see taking a major hit from it. Like miners fighting over prime roid fields. JE is supposed to be tops in mining, that's what its designed for, but it most certainly wouldn't be able to compete against another miner class (of same lv) if it came in and decided it wanted the JE's field. Yes JE are well equipped to deal with mobs in ore fields...but lets face it, players are smarter than your average manes. JE uses cloak to escape...manes goes away, player just sits and waits till JE tries mining again and simply repeats till JE gets upset and leaves. JE's only defense against this? Keep your cl low so higher cls couldn't shoot you out of a field...not exactly a balance promoter or fun sounding. It would definitely cripple the JE's ability for certain skills and gear and force them to limit their play (no combat). Mining would be completely destroyed in my opinion if open pvp (even level limited) was allowed. Most find mining currently as nice calming stress relaxer after hard day's work. Worrying if your going to be chased off of your ore field would be a major stress maker. Also keep in mind most people have different combat equip then mining equip...a miner would have to start optimizing for combat in the ore field instead of mining. Anything that stops a class from doing what is is highly and specially designed for or enjoying that activity shouldn't be added.

    I was thinking about this, and I realized that some people do sit around and camp ore fields quite a lot. Sometimes it wouldn't be so bad to blast away the competition... But that may just be the evil side in me... Muahaha.

    But for real, you shouldn't be able to just sit in a field all day long unimpeded by anyone else. I mean, I've had a few other JE's or maybe a Terran Scout come over when I'm mining and just start to take all my stuff, even though I've been there longer. As a Progen Sentinel, I can pretty much down them both, but I can't, because theres no PvP. If I want to mine uninterrupted, attacking the competition almost feels as if its not something I shouldn't be able to do. You know what I mean?

    I suppose the main concern should be who is allowed to attack who, and in reality, warrior class ships should only be fighting amongst each other, because I can imagine some dual boxer flying around with his Progen Warrior and JE grouped together, and simply offing any competition like I proposed earlier.

    It's a pretty sticky subject, and it boils down to how much annoyance people can cause, but to be honest, if someones camping, and I want it, why can't I take it? They got there first? Seems like a rather boring excuse.

    Quality Damage:

    I believe is something you mentioned also.

    That's too bad for the trader. They run the risk of dying and having quality loss anywhere, not just from PvP ships. And I really don't think people will literally wait around JUST to cause quality damage to traders. Thats not how I envisioned PvP working.

    How I envisioned PvP working was more or less, if someones in your way, you can do something about it. I didn't really see people waiting around just to kill traders for ZERO gain, just to make people lose quality. And in fact, most traders are so fast, thats not going to happen anyway. I don't think EnB as it is now has a big enough community of assholes who would just sit around and wait to kill traders.

    Or, just make it so PvP doesn't make you lose quality. Done and done.

    Maybe give some experience in a classes relative field for surviving PvP attacks? A trader survives a Progen Warrior, he gains trade exp.

    More incentive for world PvP, rather than it just being "there" to annoy people. But no one sit around and attack people just so they gain experience, obviously, that won't work.

    I mean, the classes in EnB may not be balanced, but they can all survive anything if given the proper player who knows what hes doing.

    Honestly can't say I find the idea appealing. When I think of 'my char' I think of the ship first...char later. I like spending time in my shiny pimped out space ship with rear spoiler and dual wielded cup holders.

    My char on the other hand...she's ~ok~ looking. Bit of a midget. Low polly...necks a bit odd...runs funny...like her shoes though. I honestly can't imagine her with guns strapped to her hands...she looks more fit to be wielding a lolly pop with the color scheme I chose. Star bases for the most part are rather unexciting layout...though sniping people from the disco room in Joves would be funny. I realize these things can be changed....but only with a MAJOR redo on the client. That being said...it's probably impossible for things like this. ;;

    However...I the one thing that does appeal to me about this idea is the fact I'd be able to get into a fist fight with vrix for taking over our star bases. Well...once they added I mean.

    Right!

    See, I was worried in a previous post I made about the graphics of the game, especially in the character aspect. But they aren't TOO bad if everything is maxed out, and I don't think they were ever truly intended for anything other than placeholders for basic interactions anyway, but I digress.

    Getting in a fist fight with Vrix, haha, how sweet does that sound? Docking onto their ship, going in, and beating the shit out of them.

    I realize starbases are rather lackluster, and this is actually one of the reasons I came up with this idea. They need more to them, more reason to be there in certain areas, more of a chance for danger around every turn, more of a chance for a random NPC to attack your character for credits or something.

    Even if ground based combat can't be done, I would like to see something with character interaction or star bases done, you know what I mean? But in all honesty, the idea of ground combat really does add a lot of spark to getting out of your ship.

    Edit:

    And I've ALWAYS wished you could see other peoples starships in the docks, since live.

    actually, I was not saying you should go play sto... what I meant was what you described reminded me of sto and was not sure if you had ever tried sto or not... so I just tossed it out there as something that I thought might interest you,as many of us play more than one game at a time :D

    I really had no good suggestion for the same reason suricata described... but since you did make the suggestion, like I said, I thought I might be able to offer something of interest to you in another game that I was not sure if you had tried...

    Well good!

    I was thinking you were just trying to say "Screw your idea" or something.

    Well, I play a bunch of games, but... I don't really like STO, and I don't think this suggestion should make the game like STO. To be honest, haha, if this made it anything like STO then forget it.

    I guess there would only be a few spots like this, I dont think the suggestion should be to make it like, a huge part of the game or anything. STO is entirely based around the ground combat stuff, not to mention its space combat sucks anyway.
