Which is why there's no reason to discuss who's winning or owning what.

King of the hill games only work if there is someone that's trying to take the hill; like that one wierd kid at the top of the jungle gym claiming it's all his, while the rest of the school yard is off playing dodgeball.

+1 A good analogy smile

95% of PvP in game was destroyed by player who Pvp only for Epeen not by Devs.
Fixing this requires not help from Dev, but help from Player.
.

Actually the last time i seen roaming pvp done the most was up until Walls were brought in. Walls killed roaming PVP in a big way & ive never seen it recover. That & population problems of late dont help tongue

So You could say the DEVs actually did have a hand in killing Roaming PVP. PVP in general tho isnt killed by 1 or 2 people with large egos. It doesnt help but it only becomes a major problem when a population is in decline & those large Egos are able to gain influence.

Games that De-evolve into only have 2 Main Factions will see this problem the most.

Nice chart.

Also 1 (of many reasons) why this game has a low population is the DEVs never had any real form of advertising.
There are other things aswell but im sure you can find that out for your self.

The game tho at its core is awesome fun & I still say the PVP in this game has been some of the best ive ever had in any game ive played. smile

So many bad ideas, so little content.

So true.

The fact is this game is currently like a nuclear powered train about to plunge into a Volcano.
Some of us know this & are just on board for the final ride getting as drunk as we can.
Others (as shown in this thread) have gone Insane & are trying to commit Seppuku with a rusty sword. Thats how bad some of the ideas in this thread & the thread OP are.

well on second thought:
you can already shoot platns on alpha. you just need a second bot behind the plant, flag up and shoot it. so as long as shooting plants will flag you for pvp it will basicly the same as we have atm just a bit more easy then you can do it with one instead of 2 bots.

so i cant see any problems as long as the pvp flag is triggered, and with some adjustments to the wall system.

oh man, this one should win the award for the best suggestion ever...

"Player vs. Plant" flag!

look at those noobs in arkhes, they are shooting drones - now suddenly one accidentally hit a plant and got PvP flagged. Try to explain someone seriously why he loses protection from beeing ***, docking and teleport-access... just because he shot at a plant!

Next thing is that you should pvp flag when shooting NPCs that someone els has already locked, but not loot-flagged yet.
Or everytime you misstype a field-container code!

Maybe you should get a one hour PvP flag, the next time you log in, for every dumb forum post. I'd be the first one with said flag, but mine sure as hell wouldn't last as long as some peoples would.

I award best post of the week to Cassius smile

Cassius, I dispute your claim.  A combination of work commitments and in-game factors mean I'm packing it in. 

I have little spare time and I'm not spending it playing an MMO with a Mordor Complex.  Terraforming makes PvP and intercorp fighting/trade pointless... ergo nothing survives unless it's behind an iron curtain; not very social and ultimatly dull.

To put this in perspective; I may renew subs at some point... I may even appear in game; but I no longer care about Perpetuum as a player because I feel I've accomplished all I can... and it wasn't that interesting.  It's like they say, 'this i smy blog that no ne reads'.

Im now only here to watch this Train Wreck out of morbid curiosity big_smile

CIR & CHAOS can come back to this game any time they wish & stove in any ones face they wish. we dont defend those stations coz they dont care & have moved out their MASSIVE stockpiles LONG ago.

Any way "Farm Worker" seems to be mad at us for some perceived wrong & seems to feel that any small victory made against us is some grand action made for the freedom of all humanity.

But if that makes you feel happy go for it. I will sit back & feed on your rage knowing that if I or any of my corp mates & Allies wanted to we could purge the server any time we wanted smile

So please enjoy your victories

Lets say 10 NEW people come into the game & make a corp. They need to learn some Tech to get production rolling. All they will do is learn the main tech trees each.
Splitting bots into their own Tech tree wont make people do what they would do any way if this wasn't the case.

IMO each Faction mech Type should be within its own faction "branch" But in a section on its own, Like this:

Light Bot >>>>>> Assault >>>>> Mech >>>>>> Heavy Mech
   |                            |                      |                         |
   |                            |                      |                         |
   Light Ewar                                 Mech Ewar

Each "Varient" light Ewar & Mech Ewar would have a  research Point multiplier Over the T1 Version.

no point in a Gamma reset unless the DEVs change the way TF'ing works.

Also their are ALOT of gamma islands that are very open for new players to do stuff on

If a new player can do most of what they would want to in this game within a few months then they are less likely to hang around.

AND i also agree with what Zotarg said above ^^

I'm gonna get flak for this, but every time you support an argument by saying "the game is dying so you should do it/we pay for it so you should do it/we are veterans and have endless resources so you should do it/x feature is broken so you should put this in instead"

*Mans his AA gun*

Really Zoom? Your just going to dumb things down to that?

Any one that really knows this game, knows it is in dire need of not just new content but that many Mechanics need balancing or with others complete removal & redesign.
We are painfully aware of A.C. resource limitations.

the game is dying so you should do it

um... this game is an MMO. Perpetuum is missing the first 'M' tongue
Do you have a problem with people pointing out ways you can change that?

we pay for it so you should do it/we are veterans and have endless resources so you should do i

As paying customers we have the right & expectation to voice our approval & disapproval of what the DEVs do.
This is a subscription Game & people feel more like investors rather than just "players". So its no shock we are more Vocal on calling out BS, incompetence & other such things.

feature is broken so you should put this in instead"

If you no longer want your player base to point out what is broken & ways the problems might be fixed please let us know so we can stop posting.

those numbers IF this game ever gets that big are a long way off. Mechanics thats only work properly when stupidly large numbers are involved mean the mechanic does work.

Not to mention this game suffers so bad when even 50+ get into a fight fuuu
