Get out Rex, sane discussion and ideas are not welcome here.

Get out.   

Tux's Post defines what would make this game 100 Percent more funner, yes funner.

Do that and this will be one step toward success.

This guide is coming, completion date is scheduled for 2325, eta is still on time.

It has cool popup pictures, with shiny things as well.

I almost wish this was a joke, but anymore its becoming more a reality.

Comparing Perpetuum PVP to any arena PVP is a complete waste of time, in arena PVP things are made to be balanced (in terms of numbers, as well as possibly gear), in a sandbox PVP the last thing you want as a attacker (or defender) is to agress someone on their terms, or having a equal fight. 

Now that that is cleared up, to the topic at hand.
I'm all for the total removal of everything from Gamma to Gamma connections, I think that would be a wonderful thing.

I think your looking at this from a single side, lets say Agra and Merkle go out on a roam looking from some sexy kills.  We know a hostile force has been moving a heavy amount of indy bots in and off a certain tele.  Thus we setup a log off trap, with a friendly eye watching for movement.

Now there are two (simplest terms as its usually how it will happen) ways this could turn out.

The first is our friendly eye calls the target (a rivs with rivs friends, no escort) we log in and gank said target.  We now flagged up on a hostile island, attempting to de-flag and run, and we do, escaping successfully.

The second is nearly the same scenario, our eye calls the targets, we log in, and start to attack the targets, we are now flagged up on a hostile gamma, now the defenders log in, or mobile tele in, or even run in off a masking tower.  Now the tables have turned completely from a 100% advantage to the attackers to a much more favorable advantage to the defenders.  The defenders wipe Arga and Merkle, and both rivs made it out safely as the attackers were both flagged up and unable to jump out.

The techniques of both scenarios are valid, they are well within the game mechanics, as well as, they both take time to hash out, using multiple players, working together for a common goal.

Both are using the same set of rules, I do believe tho that the server DOES need a small protection JUST for loading purposes ONLY.

If we all want a game where scouting is 100 % percent free on gates, then it should be kept as it is, I personally do not want it that way, its gives attackers too much power to simply watch a gamma tele with zero risk, in a fully PVP zone.

Another solution would be to make all gammas have massive throw out radius.
Just a thought.

I would respond to this, by thinking of the tele is just a extension of gamma.  If all of these islands were all together with no tele's there would be no protection whatsoever.

However, I do understand there is a natural choke point with the tele's thus I do believe there should be "some" protection, however, it should NOT be 100% as it is now, the protection is there just so the player can load his or her environment, and then make decisions from that point.

Another example is, lets say I do set a log off trap with a set of eyes on gamma, I see my target, I log in and kill said target.  Its gamma a full pvp zone thus I'm within my rights, my question, why should a gamma to gamma tele have such a great protection power, it needs to have just enough so players can load and make decisions on what they see.

As for the, well this island has beta connections and this island doesn't, to that I would say WONDERFUL, this is a GOOD thing, that means that not all of the islands are of equal value, and who knows, people might fight over said valued islands.

TDRL: Protection on gammas needs to only be there so that the player can load his/her client, and then make decisions.  It should not be used as another tool in PVP, again this is only for Gamma to Gamma connections.

I can agree with that, as it simply makes sense.

With the new and up coming changes, I would personally like to see all types of kernels be seeded on the Syndicate Supplies.

I wouldn't think this would negatively effect trade, if anything it would just make the tokens that much more prized, as well as make kernels just a bit easier to obtain, and thus more tech on market so on and so on.

As far a what price for what, well I'll let the Dev's have that one.

Regards.

I might be a really good thing if you would please list what you didn't like, or didn't get fixed.

: ) A call for shooting peoples buildings in there off time zone perhaps?

I truly pity you Zoom, as this task of balancing is a uphill climb.

If you change the Kain then the Mesmer also will need adjusted as well.  It faces the same problems, however, more people use Kain's so the Mesmer's problems will remain hidden until then.

Kain's as they stand right now are extremely situational, and you best hope they decide to shoot something other then the Kain your driving, as it has always been paper thin, at least in comparison to any Artemis.

Does it need a buff, that I'm not so sure on, does it need the Optimal range Bonus instead?  A long long time ago it had that bonus, it was changed as it was deemed too overpowered.  Is that still the case, time will tell if it changed.
