Base Sniping

I think it is great, though i wish bases had to be built by hand right now. That is the only change I want to that meta.

Giant Empire

Because if we didn’t our enemies would roll us off while we are sleeping, and we would wake up to no ships. We do not want to live on a PvE donator planet, we find it more interesting living in PvP, but without OLP the only way to survive is via empire.

General Playfield Performance

We are playing a sandbox game the way we want to play it. If the end result is that the playfield has poor performance that is an optimization problem, not a “we are playing in the sandbox the wrong way” problem.

Blanket Statment To Most Of Your Responses

80% of what you posted is not supported by facts or reference sources. Which means you are not attempting to debate, you are just trying to force an opinion on others and that is wrong.

You say we make GG a horrible place for people? By doing what… shooting them in a PvP zone? I have lived on GG since 4.0 and tried to live on it in 3.0, I never once blamed the people who shot me and killed me when I arrived for ruining my experience. I chose to go into a PvP playfield - my choice, which means I deal with the consequences.

TAW provides extra content to new players by allowing them to mine in ‘end game’ style ships, that shows new players what they can work towards achieving. That in itself is enriching their experience and providing new players with extra resources to get a head start.

I have never seen anyone from your side try and allow others to just come to Homeworld and set up a base, mine for hours, and then leave unmolested. @TacoIsland would probably smack you around for trying to do so.

Summary

If you want a fair balanced server, start with making suggestions that are backed by facts and not opinions. You will also need to define what you think is fair and balanced. Saying that everyone should have open access to Golden Globe is fine and dandy - but why should they? It is a PvP playfield, people understand that if they go down their they will be shot. If Rex wanted it to be fair, he would have made it a PvE playfield. GG and Homeworld are PvP hotspots, which means that there is no such thing as fair combat.Simply play by the server rules, do not exploit and do your best to win and have fun. If you get killed/rolled/destroyed… well it is PvP you know what you were gettig yourself into.

We actually gave the rebels credit for keeping us fighting right on the render distance, as thats* where we seemed to be a lot of the fights. But ya…we are that organized…

Don’t lie. Or i’ll pull get Alfonz in here and we can discuss the Formpedo incident.

This is why your donor planet spiked in cores enough to start getting taxed the same day OLP was removed on NA? Because you don’t base from there? lol

We did. You’re so seldom on HW though. Can’t blame you for not noticing.

the Formpedo incident.

I wish to hear more about this…

26

Yes, we spiked in core count shortly after OLP was removed due to the “SNA incident”. After that we had a few players stop playing actively, so we’ve had a number of cores sitting around unused. That said, we are not being taxed as our core count has not reached the tax threshold yet.

Homeoworld

When I do go to Homeworld, I see the wreckage of a number of faction structures. If people to go Homeworld, they must never talk about it in Golbal chat. When people go to GG they talk about it all the time either before, during or after.

Formpedo

It’s more of an inside joke between Alfonz and I, though it does invovle TAW…

27

I found a 1 man miner last night as a matter of fact… it was funny, I rolled up on him in one of my small SVs and told him his HV was set to public. He set it to faction and I let him go, didn’t fire a shot at him.

See, I can be reasonable. : )

Yup, lonely days. Watching a fleet of 30 CV’s and 7 bases all despawn.

To answer Ranzeth, who seems to be a member of these LOLstomping super factions on GG :

It is my only fun and pleasure on HWS, to build size 7,49 monster bases of armored concrete deep into the bedrock and chuckle all night exactly knowing the pain i caused to the self proclaimed „PVP server gods“ searching for my core. Very often they are not fast enough to find it till OLP comes in. Then they have to check if i am online later to continue and restart their single player/small faction griefing. Big fun !

It is their „this is my GG and no one shall live here without my permission !“ dictatorship attitude that we experience that often nowadays. I say, stop all these Erdogans, Putins, Trumps and Kim yung uns on HWS !

Of course i would prefer to fight all of you losers open but as Rexxus clearly stated he is supporting the mega factions and wont give others a chance to fight these.

32

Lol… well we all need aspirations.

Actually, this server has long (inadvertently) supported smaller factions. Even today, there is more benefit to being 3 or 4 “smaller factions” then joining into one mega faction. This is proven by Base/HV/SV “hard” limits on GG and Homeworld.

33

I agree, too many people these days saying “PvP on GG isn’t fair”. It’s actually the fairest it’s ever been really. People need to learn that, if you can’t handle the heat, stay out of the fire. Not… well if you can’t handle the heat… turn the fire off lol.

yep your right Ranzeth the only problem with GG is that PvP is so bad because of all the bad mechanisms
that make it imposible to fight, ie Bases, towers, OLP, Taw Zerg. destructable terain and i am sure
there are more. if thats what you mean by not fair then i agree.

i had a read of one of your posts were you said “Gold is the most precious resource” i would put it to you
like this, i find gold is important to a degree. but i find the most precious resource to be Fps.
because without that there is just no point playing at all!.

you say people wont PvP if there is nothing to bring them there, your there, Taw are there,
HPG are there, thats all the reason anyone needs for PvP lol. the people that fight you are us
as much as we love gold and all that jazz. we enjoy good old PvP first gold second.

so stop your worying there will be pleanty of PvP to go round. we have just started our donations
and it looks like we are going to have a good turn out next wipe.

I dont think that PVP on GG is fair. GG is settled by an alliance with many towers, preventing any fun for new/single players. Why is PVP on GG not „fair“ ? I will explain you.

If i land and spawn a HV it will be attacked by the GG owner alliance with a garage SV. If i spawn an op mega tank and fight this SV, and maybe even nearly beat him he just flies back into the cover of his towers when tides turn against him, then he repairs and attacks again. If on the other hand i spawn a tower, then he will take it out using the plasma sniper exploit OR bring his 20 friends in their SVs.
What else ? I could try to find some fun in my own mega op super garage SV. If i spot an enemy HV or SV they will run into the cover of their towers. And they have many towers with overlapping fire arcs.

So this will not change as long as bases are allowed on GG, without bases this planet would be a lot more balanced for PVP. What i told you is not theory, i roam GG nearly every day :wink:

Sorry the game is not giving you everything easy mode handing it to you without any effort. You guys have no idea the effort it takes to hold the planet you come in without putting in any effort and expect to win. Where were you guys at the start ? I spent myself 300k of resources to hold the planet myself… Oh ya garage ships guess what we started with none

38

Raven thats why we should all live in some form of PvE area that bases wont efect gameplay. Then if
you want to fight we actualy go to a playfeild that supports it. if you chose to no life it thats your
problem but a game that encouges “No lifing it” usally wont last long in my opinon.

Rex has always said that his aspirations were people to live in PvE or Donar, because of the reasons
most of us have stated continuesly!!. you know the problems this game has but you almost
pretend that they dont exist!?. HWS server needs to streamline, rebalance, revisit
struture/playfeild analisis to support FPS. then when the game is Optimised
more game taxing items would be then aplicable.

To me this should be obvious. this if factualy the smart way move forward with the HWS server
identifiying core problems with the game, raising constructive soulutions that still keep a
balace for not only all players, both servers.

Raven its not that we dont like hard work its just we Op4 are not going down the line of
dropping masive lag bomb bases in GG and then exspecting to fight in it.
you said “You guys have no idea the effort it takes to hold the planet” that sugest we
are putting alot of effort in does it not?. your last post kind of contradicts your own
statement lol.

This is definitely the most fair GG has ever been, when I started ACP we mined meteors on GG when there were no base caps. It was totally “unfair” but tons of fun and we learned alot. (we were a 3 man faction at the the time) GG was literally wall to wall turret bases, from 1 large faction.
