[UI] Event Mis-Use

Events like Spaceball are meant to help players.
Right now, on USA West, Multi-Company Clans just ruined it.
Do you want to know disgusted I am? I wish I could just curse.

These sick, power hogging "children" bring the ball as close as possible to a portal (just before scoring), and keep it there, stationary. It lures all the weak players for the cargo, and the UFEs and highly "skilled" players destroy them. Is this how you want Darkorbit? This just sickens me.

I want MCCs removed, and higher penalties for shooting your own company. On top of that, make it to where you will get major penalties even if you did not receive the kill directly.

For those of you who are using the excuse, "it's a PvP game," shut the hell up.
This is seriously not at all what a "PvP game" is. It is supposed to be fun for EVERYONE. Not just the strongest players. There is not supposed to be player harassment by completely eliminating them from the event.

This is something that needs immediate change, not in a couple months.

 

There is a reason why I don't take part in Spaceball. Well actually there are multiple reasons, and I will add this to the list.

 

More information:
They "force" players to get the ball to a portal. The UFEs do not want to "waste their seprom" on the ball to shoot it to base, and once it's there, they destroy ALL the other players off it.

These UFEs, already have 99% of the equipment maxed already. Yet they stoop so low to the point they leech off other players' work.

You people disgust me

 

Here is a video of how Spaceball goes down (comming soon). There are a few clans that "guard" the ball. They have one company shoot the ball towards the portal, and once it reaches there, they shoot the players off it, and reap the rewards for themselves.

Do you honestly think that a game can survive like this? Honestly, you are so stupid if you think so.

The names below:
[REMOVED]
[REMOVED]
[REMOVED]
[REMOVED] +All other players seen hovering around ball, then shoot the players shooting the ball away, and leeching off the ball's rewards.

I know they will be removed by a moderator later, but they can be seen in the video.
I want these players penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct. Yes, this is a PvP game, but there is a clear line between PvP and harassment/abuse of power, and these players have certainly stepped over the line.

And yes, my salt levels are high, and always has been the weeks following the introduction of LF4s

 

The interesting problem is that killing other players doesn't give you any good advantages (except honor). Even Hades has higher honor rewards with less effort. The player killers only destroy for fun, if you only see this sort of players on your server, it's just over.

 

Anyone shooting the ball should have 'shield' protection...the rest just poof. Never played Spaceball - maybe I should.

Everyone reading/viewing this should flood support about this MCC crap.

Can't shoot your own in BSG...no different here

Same Co. BP - same programmers.

 

The same company attacks have been a problem from the beginning of the game. It should have been corrected way back in the beginning. They used to disband clans that went against company lines or disrupted normal game enjoyment, now there is not enough players to take action against these BULLIES. It used to be funny hearing reports of the TOP Players being in such and such map and someone needing help to take them out, then seeing that they have survived a 6v1 attack with little HP left and had there been a 7th they might have gone poof back to their home maps (before the repair where popped or nearest portal). But then the game has to change and advance just too bad it has not advanced for the better but each change seems to send another bunch of players out the door.

 

Usually my clan does this, since we have war with all the server and Heatseeker™ is my leader.
And at first I thought it was an ingenious way, but I lost interest in what happens at spaceball and no longer partake in this.

 

I say place a pvp ban on the event and or dis allow the violators from ever entering that map for the event again.

 

TBH spaceball should only be for noobs, like come on guys, people go to 4-4 to pop noobs till they get no reward besides seeing their flaxes pop one at a time

 

lol... Then those UFE's would make noob accounts and still come to pop the noobs... That's besides the point though if BP tried to make a somewhat decent event only accessible in some way to noobs that is just a bad idea and yeah people would still find ways to "ruin" it, like making "noob" accounts to pop the noobs.


Though BP obviously needs to do something about people not caring about company sides and just shooting people regardless if they are "on their side/company". Maybe make it so you cant shoot own company during events/certain maps or cant shoot own company at all, though if they were to do either of those they would need to make it possible for people to choose to be apart of no company. Though if they do choose to be part of no company their honor is reduced to 10% of what it currently is and rank is just outlaw.

Cause people do care about rank hence why they don't bloody just all be in the same company(or switch/jump about companies at all), though what said still wouldn't totally solve the issue but atleast then only people who don't give a crap about rank would be able to shoot anyone they like. I suppose it would also give people a chance to form a big enough group to pop the people who are shooting anyone from the other companies, though it for sure would make it more of a hassle/complicated or harder for mutli company clans/"alliances" to do what they currently are doing.

 

Simple solution, amend the rules so that MCC's cannot take part in the space ball event by locking the map for the duration of space ball allowing only players with out a clan and clans that are pure company clans enter the map. the same should be applied to any event that is company Vs company. As a MCC as no true company loyalty then a small penalty should have to be paid and that is being locked out from events that are company events that require company loyalty.

 

That's a good start but I believe a non pvp edict should be imposed or they should lock out of all pvper's from these events in pvp maps and enemy lower maps.

Heck make the pvper's when they fire on other pilots instantly get locked out and teleport them to the same type event concurrent in the pirate maps by not making them move from map to map but just back and forth over and over again in the same map with the assistance of the pirate aliens and other players to pvp should they decide to there.

 

I have the feeling that they (devs) aren't ignoring these well-known problems, they just need much more time to solve them.
