The Case AGAINST removing OLP on EU

[Alandauron]

@Wiseman738

This entire point has been covered and refuted MULTIPLE times by multiple people over on the ‘case against removing OLP on EU thread’ so i’m not going to start debating it here.

I’ve read the entire thread and nowhere is anything “refuted” if anything you only make my case more in posts on here talking about how bases are safe offline but turrets still fire out. Not to mention just this season someone made a post about how they love building a base in the ground and watching their turrets take apart people trying to destroy their base then they log off before any real damage can be done to their base. Considering there’s no OLP on NA then that is someone from EU and that tactic is part of the problem with OLP.

“What’s that, someone is attacking my base, ok time to log off.” To me that is abuse of the mechanics.

@Wiseman738

Also I appreciate that you weren’t around during 6.0 where there were basically 0 permanent PVP bases on pvp playfields

I’m sorry but this argument has absolutely no relevance in the current discussion of issues with the current systems and how we can improve them.

@Wiseman738

In fact by removing OLP you’d simply benefit the big factions more as they can be more organised and can plan some twilight-morning raids to attack their enemies;

No, you can still come down and base, PvP, or mine when everyone is online. You don’t have to have a base already on the planet to actually interact on that planet. TAW has maintained a constant presence on GG for the NA server, that hasn’t stopped other people from going down and kicking the crap out of them for a period of time while letting allies or friends mine somewhere else. The case for OLP on NA is weak at best, if it were my call there wouldn’t be OLP period, but EU is a different style and I don’t play there so I’m fine leaving it as is.

@Wiseman738

No idea where you think i want it back on NA? I don’t care about what happens on NA as i’m EU. But I had to get involved once Rexx suggested that OLP might not be returning for NA OR EU come 8.0. Alas i can’t find the quote but i’ll keep looking, luckily Rexx recently said this instead:

You mentioned it here:

@Wiseman738

And it’s coming back on NA for 8.0 and staying for EU.

So I was addressing that.

Also I guess what you’re basing that on is a couple posts where Rex said, “I think” Considering that he’s still “thinking” about it that’s why I’m making the case for not restoring OLP on NA cause it’s a bad idea and it will simply be abused once again in whatever legal ways players can abuse it. It’s actually still abused on EU based off what I’ve read, but you guys are fine with it so you can keep it as long as it doesn’t impact NA which is much more active in PvP.

P.S. Wiseman I appreciate your fervor related to OLP but when something is mentioned in another thread that doesn’t mean you have to go reign everyone in and try to control the situation.
