[SC] A Brief Question about Company Wars

Hello,

I am a newbie on East 3 server and was wondering:

1. How I am supposed to be with friends here if one of the top clans is repeatedly sending war to their own company for stupid reasons?

2. Why does darkorbit have three companies when there are bully clans in those three companies that war their own company?

3. Is it a good idea to limit the amount of honor a clan gets from repeatedly sending these wars for stupid reasons?

Just an idea

 

its a real thing and i think it should be delt with

 

yeah had that on my server too they part of the reason a lot of newer players leave everyone tells them get in a clan they will protect you and help you then the truth comes out small clans are targets for the well ill keep it clean would be cool if there was enough on the servers to stop these things but it seem like most of the players that cared left

 

Company WARS have been in place since the inception of the game and is just part of the game the bad part of the game is the SPIES who target you for the enemies and after they have started attacking you the spy comes along and helps the enemy kill you without the loss of honor or information for you to post as proof. These clans often come from other companies and have chosen to be blue to some of the company and yet WAR those they do not want to be blue to.

As THEY are bullies the clan should be banned from the game but then D O does nothing about bullies even though it is against the RULES to bully anyone in the game.

 

Your words are true, all of them. Your first paragraph talks about the history of the game and how wars were created in ordder to prevent other clans from having ties to outside companies. The only problem with this is the fact that on my server, the clan doing the bullying is also the clan that has ties to the other companies. On my server (USA East 3) it is EIC and VRU doing the same thing, preventing the weaker players from participating in events such as icys, crazy cubes, and spaceball.

All I have to say to that situation is: there are three (3) companies, not seven (7).

My question for bigpoint is: As HelpMeHelpYou said -- they are obviously bullies, repeatedly sending war to weaker clans for stupid reasons. What is darkorbit and bigpoint doing to prevent this? Our members do NOT want to leave the clan because we help them out by getting them better at the game. And they are not able to participate in events, which should be for everyone. I have members of my clan getting popped by the same person 12 times per day... so it could also be a case of pushing ship kills on the side of the bullies.

 

I have actually gone CLANLESS as I can not be warred and as such someone wants to attack me they get negative honor and I post them as a COMPANY KILLER and allow them to explain why they attacked a NEWB for no reason. But then we have the biggest MOUTH Bully of the game on USA West in MMO who is a major PORTAL sitter who has MOST of MMO wanting him out of the game and his clan (almost 50 strong) is all his accounts and D O does nothing about him, he sits in chat calling out company CBS's that have shields down so they will be attacked by other companies and has even offered to help those who attack it to give them protection from MMO to come destroy the CBS. When you have players like this (and he does this every time he gets on line) you would think that D O would do something to stop this including banning the accounts permanently. But they have never done anything more than to chat ban the person for a couple hours.

 

That is a solution if you don't care about your clan. But if you do care about your clan.... and you don't want to leave then that isn't a solution. Also, as you said, if the clan in question is the only active clan in the company as a result of oppressing said company, then calling them out on company killers also doesn't work. The only solution is to ban these players, or eliminate company wars all together

 

Well DO does not think your problem is a true problem to start. DO thinks that is just the way the game is... The mods are also not modding the game either. Admins should be jumping on servers and watching what is going on on each event, but DO is in a kind of auto pilot right now. The support team is do as little as possible to get whatever DO gives them and DO is changing enough to get players excited for the next mega then kicking them in the knees when Monday morning after we spent the money.

I would say stop playing for a few weeks, If 100 players on every server would not buy a mega for 2 or 3 weeks then DO might actually ask why we are unhappy. If the sheep keep buying megas then DO will not change anything.

Then again this has been going on for 5 years now so might be time to hang it up.

 

I stopped spending money on the game after the 3D launch and there was so much confusion on the booking of the Email Newsletter Bonus Package that had a value of over 250 K URIDIUM and the response from SUPPORT was the AFFILIATE stopped the communication and the affiliate tells you they do not do anything to the communications between their partners and their customers. I occasionally buy the REBATE or Doubler ($2.49 a week) when I am going to do UPGRADES or IF Bonus Boxes are going to make it worth having them doubled and I am not going to be FODDER for the UFE Veterans in the game, but during most events the UFE are preventing NEWBS from flying in the maps as they know this is their opportunity to get those wanting to collect the rewards and get some quick and easy kills for their super long quests they have to do.

 

You are correct in a lot of ways: DO is unaware of the problem in that they don't believe it is a real problem. Hopefully this thread proves them wrong about it. So what they need to do, is build a ship up from the beginning and without putting money into it. They'd be surprised what they see from the players that are UFE. What would help is if they motivate the stronger players to help the weaker ones more. But then again, I see no evidence that they care about people who don't put money into the game vs. UFE players who spend more than $100 every mega.

 

Keeping up with the cost of living they want 2-3 hundred every MHH per WALLET to even care about your thoughts.

And for a D O employee to have to start from scratch, lets get serious, they are all flying UFE ships and never had to start from a position of NEWB if they had they would have made the game more enjoyable. Boxing is not necessary for their ships and they don't have to worry about buying any ammo. These ships are Ultimate UFE and takes several against one to take them out.

The Wallet players know when they are going to upgrade their equipment and buy so much ammo when it is available to last a month of constant hunting, and then know how much each gate costs to build and buys enough to build every gate they want to do in the next week and then adds another $100 just to have extra Uridium if a friend wants to do something they had not thought of doing. Figuring 75-100K per gate and UFE players do a gate in about 45 minutes, they play about 5-6 hours a day building gates take about 15 minutes so 5-6 gates a day so at 500K a day EE is $300 in Uridium for EE another $100 for Upgrades every other week $9 a month for Rebate (2 months at a time) BB Doubler for their Macro $9 a month (again 2 months at a time), Premium $6.50 a month, and another $100 for ammo/defensive measures comes to a monthly outlay of almost $1900, now if you spent this amount of money on the game THEN you MIGHT get to give direct input into what happens in the game, but I did say MIGHT.

And the Bully clans are usually full of UFE players D O is not going to say or do anything to them as they want their almighty EURO in their pocket.

 

Well this is DO's chance to prove you wrong about that...if possible LOL. All that's going to happen if nothing is done is they'll have dead servers

 

maybe an admin will respond to this soon...and we can hear what their side of it is

 

PHAT chance of that seems the only time we hear from them is when they CLOSE for inactivity, unless we offend them with a comment about them.

 

Its good the OP posted today, or it would had been closed due to no input from the OP.

 

well this thread isn't closed yet which means someone is watching. we have yetto see a response. I do agree with prettygood, company wars need to either stop completely, or darkorbit needs to make the ep and honor/kill rewards way less for warring one's own company

 

It is not closed as they are not looking at it. Otherwise it would have been closed in December. This issue has been brought up so many times it is not going to be addressed by any admin except to close it.

Sorry to rain on the parade but the truth seems to be more painful than the actions inside the game.

 

Well if darkorbit fixes this issue they will have less people leave the game.

 

I am not arguing this and thought I was a supporter of the need to correct the imbalance caused by MCC's, Company Wars, and just plain bullies inside the game. TOO bad the Company Loyalty went out of the game years ago. When you no longer play along Company Lines and mix all 3 companies into a single clan and then WAR every clan you can, so friendlies are now enemies, what is the sense of having 3 separate map systems? Warring factions should not get any type of reward for killing a same company ship EVER.

 

Well said. While you can't expect everybody to get along, there are three companies for a reason, not seven.
