Tell it to Imidero Beyatch.

given that the purpose of any attack would be to reset as much of the exploited stuff STC had as possible its kinda a waste of time if it was evacced.

Lol

Given ICE is sold in game for Nic i dont think the DEVs can do this. But a full asset only Wipe +1

True Pros make a Podcast to influence the Devs minds, 
The rest of you guys are Hacks

PS. I got my Highways & stopped playing b4 they came in & have never used them! ...... Irony much ?

Zoom:

I think this thread has run it's course.. It seems to have degenerated into accusations of exploiting and the introduction of topics that have nothing to do with the proposed gamma reset.

There was apparently the bigger picture and our inner corp politics to take into consideration about Imidero... Hindsight and hungarians, yeah but what can you do. We're not going anywhere though, just gonna carebear around Alpha until Zoom decides if he wants to poop or pee.

And ofc with all the assets piled up its not even a question if steamlings will be curbstomped into the ground, only question is how hard and by who.

all i see i ppl *** around because they cant / dont want to defend themselves.

the anounced gamma wipe was not a freeze of the game. all it said was that it will be wiped in the near future. the game keeps running. so if you have assets on gamma you can either protect them until the wipe happens or you can evac them before that happens. oh.. and let me mention: you already had weeks of time to do that.

all i see  (again) is the wine of ppl that dont defend their stuff and *** afterwards that its the devs fault, or that its the enemies fault. why not gods fault?

this is a game. and its running. if you assumed that it is save in a pvp area then its not sombody else fault. its your own fault for asuming wrong. or not playing the game and protecting your stuff. a lot can happen in a week. and what the hell has that to do with a gamma wipe?
well maybe because you assumed that you get a easy haul off and just going inactive. well guess whos fault it is.

and if more ppl would play instead of "waiting for the wipe" then it might happen to a few more ppl.

tldr:
dont blame others for your own faults!

I think calling the game running is not really accurate. The game itself is in a coma and gamma is dead. There really is no point in playing gamma games for anything other than e-bushido.

Zoom was right to tell us early but should have clearly set out timescales and a freeze in operations as the current situation basically demands a player base which is already downtrodden pay and play for a game that even the devs know to be hopelessly broken.

I and a lot of the biker gang just refuse to do that. We've put up with this for years now but enough is enough. I can deal with the thousands of man hours getting deleted if its for the games good but *** wasting my time pretending that its not going to happen while the devs miss any and every timescale they give.

Really should send a big pack of beer to Zoom

Zoom said 1-2 weeks as if it's a done deal. That placed the wipe smackbang in the middle of our siege plan, which was perfectly fine since we just postponed it. A gamma-wipe only saves you some stockpiles of stuff, which would be relevant if the game hasn't been at the point where everyone has infinite amounts of stuff for years. 

None of us are whining or upset, because we have nothing to be upset about. We are winning our fights and sieges with only a token number of people, without even sounding the proverbial horn of goondor. We're simply saying it's unprofessional and could have be handled much better, without giving hard deadlines that in hindsight couldn't be met.

There's 3 things to do ingame, grind minerals, grind mobs, grind gamma/players. Only gamma/players was somewhat fun to do, so until we can again do that in peace without wipes and resets looming on the horizon, we'll carebear on Alpha. No point wasting effort on stuff that can potentially be wiped out willynilly.  At the very least I'm sure slaughtering steam players will be entertaining for a few weeks, we'll see whats the situation after that dwindles down.

I see what you did there   BTW I read that and see 21 days 2 hr 34min 23 secs. So yeah , you were WAY to hard on that timeline..

The truth of the matter is this , they couldn't break into the STC primary gamma and need an excuse to cover over that simple fact.. From all the chest pounding they do you would think 3 weeks would be plenty time to take an island. But these are also the same players that claim how awesome they are for taking betas then 3 weeks later say they wont play until the gamma wipe because without gamma there is nothing to do.. They talk out of both sides of their mouths and sometimes (more often than not) their ***..
