I summon yee old thread to the front page!

How have things been ?

Is there still tons of camping of teh gates?

thumbs up.

Yay! they fixed them.. i don't like the 45 seconds.. but its a huge step in the right direction.

I concede to your point.

I 110% agree with your opinion on Arkhies.. I've been on the irc channel complaining about them since my first beta experience.

They're ridiculously useful.

I would go one further and say that Arkhies are only handed out at the beginning of the game. You also shouldn't be able to enter beta lands in one.

When you have a risk vs reward type situation like the beta islands why hand someone something that reduces the risk to 0?

I agree there needs to be more land.

You know why people hang out at the gates all the time?

THE ENEMY IS SITTING THERE INVULNERABLE SO WE HAVE TO SIT THERE WITH THEM BABYSITTING... WHEN WE COULD BE ENJOYING THE GAME...

You know what happened the other day?

We saw a group forming on Sehvosky, so we mustered our forces...

Nothing happened, because they're INVULNERABLE, we left because hey.. I DON'T want to waste my time waiting on someone that is INVULNERABLE.

I find the game more of a waste of time now than I ever have.

All we do is babysit people that are INVULNERABLE.

The current gate mechanic obviously doesn't work, so change it, if it doesn't work that way, change it.

The way the gates are setup now, the attacking force always has the advantage, they're INVULNERABLE until they DECIDE they want to fight.

Maybe I am a bit crazy as I am ignoring all other issues.

Look at that.. 1 hour of our lives wasted and it happens every day all day.

Did you watch the video, just curious.

I think your problem is not with the game or that you won't purchase a second account.

You're mad at the people that are using the market more efficiently. It is the potential ability of someone else that scares you, life isn't fair.. There is someone better than you at everything, always.

Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration – that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves.

Here's Tom with the weather.

This thread is ridiculous... 

This is just me, but I think it's really unfair that a player can make a new account for an industry alt, skill it up in only one very focused way, and then be highly competitive as an industrial manufacturer - they're not really playing with the toon at all! They're just using it as a convenient skill-dump that gets pulled out every so often.

I think people who actually play their characters on the Beta Island should have an advantage over someone that never plays the game, uhh, leaves Alpha Islands.

I believe it would be appropriate to make Alpha Lifers enjoy degraded drops, less kernels, so they cannot seriously compete via huge incomes, L1 kernels, and baby robots kills, moar L1 kernels.

As it stands Beta Islanders are outmatched by their squandering counterparts, Alpha lifers,  whom make more money from loot, market, and everything else without a possibility of  putting anything on the line. 

So that means without purchasing another account I cannot compete with these inborn Alpha lifers.

I enjoyed this exercise.
