[dr.claw]

Parsecs allowed???

then i can tell only parsecs will win that.Better is to remove that from this

 

[WRAITH1]

personal opinion:

seems like another improvised event controlled by human action which is often ineficient..havent they learned to program software controlled events? or are volunteers cheaper than coding?!
at least software even if its faulty its faulty the same for all participants...

also the rules gimme a headache do i need register with my lawyer present?
also unclear i give u an example:
Afterburner: using afterburner is allowed but pilots must be within blaster shoot distance at the end of the afterburner, i.e. no running and hiding
so if id care for the event and wana use ranged weapons like rockets thermo i would b penalised by this rule....may as well make it fixed position ...

 

[passenger8]

-rules rules rules... -dear sir´s, what we need in PG is more anarchy and real skills.

-the programming of this game is too manipulating, means we miss shots according to the programming and not by lack of skills.
-and we can only collect what we are allowed to collect. made most clear in BP missions.

-there is only one way to play this "game", and that´s the splitscreen way.

-it´s hard to keep up the fun of playing this way in the long run. (if you ask me?)

-so, more anarchy and avoid boyscoutcamp attitudes. -thank you

 

[WRAITH1]

some more personal opinion comments:

No Ancient Technology from Vega - Mizar

Parsecs allowed

lol...even if id care i wouldnt go sell my ancient equipment from all my ships or buy new ships just to get frustrated by "humans" deciding who breaks rules and thus who wins.
and supposedly trying b fair by not permitting ancient tech but permit parsecs is another lol worth...nvm the drones i saw nothing mentioned bout tht.

+ the threat of jailing for not having the lawyer present and comprehending all those many illogic rules sounds also very attractive...

All non-registered players who land without prompting, will be teleported into the hangar of Kalabesh.

Teleport is done upon sight immediately and without warning by the present GM team. Repeat offender will be banned for 24 hours in the jail.

but dw i estimate ull get lots players participate probably not game veterans but some youngsters tht play pg today and tomorrow now thus making the event mostly useless.

ever since beta weve been waiting for alousy pvp event planet where we can go and bash eachothers heads in or just test our ships in an controlled enviroment (controlled by software and permanently open)... we wouldnt even need rewards if it was setup right way (for example not loose cryonite etc) thus noone could abuse the system.
add a menu tht control sthe settings of the pvp enviroment between the warring players and who accepts join and fight ..
thers already a post on the idea which has exised since beta but noone cares much to implement it seems.
i replied to another colosus complaint post and mentioned the idea again:

colosus as overalll pvp in this game has always been an improvisation full of flaws..seems ever since game came out noone wanted work on creating pvp tht would make sense and b fair.
woulda been easy create a planet for funning around with ur ship solo or multi open or with restrictions (each could set conditions of their battle cause its their battle) but noone cared.
on such planets u can choose (with checkmarks on a menu of options) if u want
-an enviroment with obstacles
-fixed positions 1 in range of anothers weapons (or multi vs multi) to bash eachother til 1 pods
-limit weapon types,tech,etc
u get the idea

in case ur new to this and dont know a small example of flaws (nvm the human factor supposedly watching rule breakers) in colosus events tht has never been fixed :
when u have an adversary in buddy list and ur targeting him because ofc ur fighting him and u activate speed actuator or protector the speed actuator and protector would go active on tht persons ship thus obviously making u loose...
now tell me whos gonna bother workaround and remove all buddies to participate in colosus events just because noone bothered to fix the sofware...

How is this tournament gonna work for all the players? Not everyone lives in the same time-zone. If this occurs during mid server time or something, it would be midnight for some people (e.g. me)

 

[alekjoao98]

I am 6 hours difference with Askone pff.... so no exceptions for players like us????.

 

[Obitus]

I have to say--the idea of this tournament disgusts me.

• By not allowing ancient tech, players now have to PAY to enter the competition with no refund.
• "Players must show up on time". Sounds great in retrospect but some of us are so far off of server time, 1PM becomes 2AM.
• This seems to be a purely GM ran event based off the fact you can't control who lands. I could theoretically land and OS the combatants before they teleported me and it would kill them. This is bad for the combatants as well as the GM's if they flip red (unlikely). Also, if the event is GM ran, this shows the devs haven't done anything besides make a new planet (Whoo--they copied and pasted Colossus with a new name). When's TC coming out? The fables I tell my *kids* at night about TC has them ready with no new content to contain their lust.
• Stupidity. We are tired of PVP being controlled. Most of us 85's hardly show up to Colossus or CQ's anymore due to the lack of free PVP. If I want a PVP, I don;t go to the buggy Colossus, I go to Gazica or Sirius and ask around. I might dislike SOB and FW but (msot of the time) they've got a good attitude towards fair PVP and are willing to experiment with ships; you don't see that often.

Cheers and hopefully the devs and GM's get their act together,
OBITUS

 

[wkdragon828]

I am 6 hours difference with Askone pff.... so no exceptions for players like us????.

Im 9hrs ahead of Askone Time Red, so there's absolutely no chance for me to compete

 

[JimGR]

To start...that Rule of not hiding or running ruins the whole event....So what shocks snipers storms etc (ranged ships) will do??? Will the go all in and pod in a bit??? A guy that is a pro in storm cant win according to that rule..after the rd he is pretty sure pod...I believe instead of that u should make a limited area of pvping...Like the centre of Colossus that has e field...if u escape that e field( u pass through the rocks that surround the centre) Then u are disqualified...Not that awfull rule of not beiing able to play as u like...Being able to get away from the others blaster isnt running to quit or hiding,., it can nbe strategy !! Ranged ships if that rule remains are useless if u must be in blaster range...So u should recosinder that rule....We play the game and we know a bit more of what a fair pvp should be like...
Well about the time...i dont think they can do much...if they make it closer to u then "i" ll complain cause server time is near my local...its askone server so all events should take place at prime time of that server No offence but thats how it is

 

[Malevos]

Hmmmm I must say i do agree with a the points raised here about the flaws in the event and how it will work, however, I also feel it's really good that we finally have an opportunity to get the TR ships as a lot of the people playing now did not play the last time this tournament was run and I like the idea of it being done as a pair fighting eachother to make it more interesting.

Would like clarification on whether ancient will actually be allowed for sol and draconis if so then is that really fair to the players who haven't reached sirius who want to participate, I would say no but at the same time I can see why it's been done this way. Furthermore, when you say parsecs allowed is that just the original 4 or all of the prototype ships including hybrids? Personally I would say they shouldn't be allowed in this tournament as it gives the players that have them an unfair advantage. I don't deny that I have prototypes for mizar and sol and may well use them if they're allowed.

For those of u complaining about the so called "time Difference" the tourney on each server will take place at the hosting servers time. e.g players on solaria will have the event at solaria's server time which is 6hrs later than the server time of Askone...so do every1 a favour before u go complaining bout things like time zones...check the information posted first!

Best Regards FM. :mrorange:

 

[jevans3050]

Further more WRAITH1 if u have no intrest in the tourney why bother posting ur clearly over thought ideas and opinions??? also like to say I completely agree with jimGR in regards to the use of ab in the tourney after all for shock pilots using their ab to gain distance and by cool down time is a prime strategy in any type of pvp and considering the shock ship ridicules armour abing away is an absolute must against certain ship classes. and in previous tourneys of this type there was no restriction on the use of ab...wht happened was the opposing players would add the gms on surface as buddies before the fight began and were made to remain with in a certain area (previously very center of map) and were disqualified if they left the area...this was much more effective than the current rule on use of ab as it allowed each pilot to use their own stratagie and resulted in much better pvps as it came down to each pilots own skill in combat.


best regards. FM

Before you claim we're all ignorant and write out a stupid reply, note that not all players on a server follow the server time zone. Solaria is running on EST which covers most of the 13 colonies. I myself just moved west of EST and am now 1 hour +/- which isn't terrible. But let's take my friend, Musli--he lives in Europe so he's almost 6-7 +/- hours behind but on Solaria Server which is EST.

so do every1 a favour before u go complaining bout things like time zones

, check the damn information.

 

[WRAITH1]

Further more WRAITH1 if u have no intrest in the tourney why bother posting ur clearly over thought ideas and opinions??

if THINKING and having IDEAS and OPINIONS is a crime, its my personal crime u dont have to worry urself, ur safe.

simple answer for flamers/trolls: i post my ideas and opinions BECAUSE I CARE TO (i write simple answer 1st because the typical flamer/troll doesnt often read more than the 1st sentence;as proven below)

if tournament wasnt badly set up i bet noone would mind participating as any extra game content is welcomed by most.
how would ssg know if its good or bad u ask? well thts where the crime of posting thought out ideas and opinions come in handy. heck even posting "OUCH!" is good enough feedback someone stepped on ur toes.
(and fyi i bother to post "OUCH!" for fellow players also)

+ no idea how many days uve been playing but i suggest get better informed if u want make a pertinent comment on this topic ... i suggest u chk into past history about GM run events. (dont ask players tht have played less than 1 week) u can also try some colosus events for urself and see if im wrong about the flaws tht exist (and as metioned below u didnt even bother to read) and ull b more informed and can try the crime of THINKING also before u post.

also like to say I completely agree with jimGR in regards to the use of ab in the tourney

this is best example of flamers/trolls: they skip over the threads posts selectively reading and pick someone to try and annoy and then to try cover up their hostile characters they mention someone they agree with....if hed bothered to read my post mentions the AB rule before jims (btw kalimera jim!).

just to save u few clicks:

Afterburner: using afterburner is allowed but pilots must be within blaster shoot distance at the end of the afterburner, i.e. no running and hiding
so if id care for the event and wana use ranged weapons like rockets thermo i would b penalised by this rule....may as well make it fixed position ...

 

[vamsi]

err seriously... dont bother with that noobish afterburner rule.... how the hell u can use sniper or storm with that rule lol.... u can use afterburner to get away from stun or something but it depends on the other player to follow u or nt.... if he doesnt then how can he be in blaster range when the afterburner ends.... seriously thats some messed up rule.... if u dont want ppl hiding or running from match... limit the battle area in collosus... And btw i wanna know something else..... what if u got a engi in sq sq and doesnt materilsing works or nt? cause engis one of primary tech that is... a bit confused on that

Obitus u have a valid point however I was directing my statement at players who for example live in Europe and choose of their own free will (for it was their choice) to play on an American server tht has its time based on American time not European times...however I also know tht u guys in the states have tht whole east coast/ west coast time diff and under stand tht at times can cause problems taking part in events...no offence was meant but "we live and die by the choices we make" so if u chose to play on an American server u can not reasonably expect events to be held according to ur local time.

Firstly i'v been playing for 2,190 days or so minus time for holidays and personal time ( simpley put around 6yrs) so I know all about past events such as pvp tourneys as have taken part in more than my fair share so "You should check your information" before trying to act like u know better than every one else.

secondly I never said u couldn't have ideas or opinions jus tht if u have no intrest in the tourney (ur own words btw) why share them....if u were planning on taking part then of course I would never suggest u shouldn't have input and id gladly take wht u have to say on board.

thirdly I was responding to jim GRs post bout the last pvp tournament that was held on colossus in which there was no rule in regards to use of Ab but where both teams of pilots were required to remain within a certain area (center of planet) which if u reread ur post on the subject u never actually mentioned (poss cause u wasn't there who knows)

and finally yes I did actually bother to read ur entire post before my first reply and yes I read all other posts on this subject in full and not just bits and pieces. my post was was not meant to inflame but to ask the question "if ur not bothered why waste time writing a post" however if offence was caused I do apologize as wasn't my intention

 

[jevans3050]

btw WRAITH1 there was one part of ur first post I did (believe it or not) completely agree with and tht was the point u made about older players waiting Eons for a free open pvp planet to "go smash each others skulls in" after all their really isn't a better feeling than podding that rly annoying Mizar Parsec (aimed a Dark Devastator ) and would be great if they had it so players wouldn't lose cryo while fighting on said planet as then pilots wouldn't be afraid to have sum real fun and not like the devs would have to much to do after all lotta unused planets in the game tht could be utilized "looks to sol system".

 

[Rekx321]

I have been playing pirate galaxy for 2 years, and its been fun playing with people. Although this tournament is unfair in a way that players who sign up can easily replace their missing squadmates. There should be a penalty towards there team. I was signed up for the sol tournament in aeria server, and the GM allowed players to replace their missing squad mate. Also, there is a lack of balancing with the power of ships and blueprints. For example, the gold aim computer still misses against the top most blue aim scrambler 60% of the time in my tournament, as well as the tanks have the mobility to get up close rather than snipers and storms that can fight far away. Splitscreen studios needs to balance out the pvp, add penalties to teams that replace their squadmates last minute, and create a pvp where long range ships have better mobility than close range ships, since these close range ships (i.e. tanks) have high sustainability and lots of power.
