    Would it be naming and shaming if I called to attention Aelfwin's shameless attempts at thread derailment into yet another 'BOO THIS DENALT' in future threads? The guy does seem to have a habit of such.

    Finally, a man on topic.

    Yes, yes it does.

    However a dev appears to have even admitted that their engine currently cannot support such and that is why we have the proxy finish line with the flags, as irritating as they are.

    Hopefully we'll see a refined version of it at some point since the idea opens a lot of other opportunities.



    Which is sad about the engine, really. Judging by all of the engines involved in PC and console games using that simple mechanic, going back to the earliest days of electronic gaming, it's shocking that Cryptic's above average engine can't handle it.


    Like you, I also hope for some improvement in the future.

    No , I just noted that the fleet who were caught doing the shield griefing the OP was talking about was the same fleet who use a very TRIBBLE like fleet emblem .

    Try to keep up . :o




    Funny, but the perps I've seen doing that TRIBBLE, more often than not, were members of other Fleets. Not Starfleet Dental or their affiliates.



    Really, folks. Starfleet Dental may have pulled some wild stunts in the past. But that doesn't make them the cause of all, or the majority instigators of, griefing you find in the game.


    Some people act as if Starfleet Dental is the spawn of Satan, and their members the disciples of the Antichrist.


    Give it a rest. This isn't the place or thread for personal vendettas against a Fleet, or their membership.

    Entering first is NOT the criteria for winning this. Grabbing the flag first is. Many have complained of crossing well before others but losing because of missing the pull.

    Hmm, you know what? **** you all! Not only Dental, but everyone else following their behaviour. Troll and rant around and complain about everything you feel is important.

    Cause trouble as much as you want, make fun of others and disturb good hearted people who only want to play and enjoy the game.
    Do whatever you want, You must not fear, you got a friend at PWE taking care of complains.

    There a great players here like VIrus, Orange, markhawk, Alois, aelfwin, cosmic, Olivia, and some other top post count guys and girls who value the game and others. Who do not hesitate to help with problems. I often had questions and everyone was always helpfull.

    But you ****ing Trolls, you only care for yourselves and laugh your asses off when you prank others.
    You go even this far that you manipulate mini -games just to show that you are to stupid and incapable to win.

    And I am not sorry about bringing the Symbol up again. You *******s did that on purpose.
    You knew it would cause some controversy.

    Everything is fine and unimportant as long as it doesn't concern yourself. Thats America. God bless you. But as soon your country gets attacked and people getting killed, THEN you guys start to rage and scream for revenge and everybody must listen and join your side.

    This beeing my last post in this community i say two things at the end:

    -thanks to the good hearted guys and girls here, I love you

    and

    - Dental **** off with your hate and take askray with you. He makes a good secretary and personal Assistant for your Fleet.

    The sad thing is that this "real" issue that needs to be addressed by the devs has turned into a flame fest. When I say "real" - there are LOTS of other issues that are probably more important - so it's kind of tongue and cheek.

    Devs : Please disable the cover shield on Risa - hopefully it's not too complicated.

    Perhaps the Mods could send along the message and shut this train wreak of a thread down.

    For the others - if you see this behavior - you can still take a screen shot as was done earlier and make a detailed report to the games moderators.


    Now I will put on my flame retardant suit and... run for COVER!!!:eek::P

    Now hold on. I just noticed your avatar since you mentioned it, and let's not bull**** here. That specific layout and font is a direct copy of the TRIBBLE symbol with only slight changes. It surely is intended to be provocative, and you have no call to complain when it succeeds in offending someone.

    This isn't the thread for that. This is. Don't give in to this sore guy hijacking a thread and being proven wrong in it repeatedly, and then flaming people to a point that his own thread becomes locked.

    It's the bleeding Reichsadler. Romans used it too. Germany still does.

    Hmm, you know what? **** you all!...


    Well now, this escalated quickly. :eek:

    Anyway, at the very least, I hope they can find a way to 'fix' it. Why can you use combat stuff on Risa anyway? Seems like asking for trouble to me.

    Race is not race if your the first one across the finish line and you don't win.

    Don't understand why the computer doesn't decide your place.

    It just opens the door to griefers and such.

    Hmm, this seems doesn't seem like an unreasonable, mentally unsound person at all. Not only breaking the rules, but also mouthing off to a Dev. I hope this works out well for you (it won't).

    Humorously enough, you just proved his point.

    The fact that you're just inside the rules as written doesn't make you and your buddies any less pathetic.

    That said, I do commend you and your fleet for retaining your ability to remember that the entire game is just that: a game, a diversion from reality. More people should have this skill.

    If you weren't all sad little sociopaths, I might even like you.

    Now. On-topic: Yes, it'd be great if the first across the line won. I bet that the engine can't handle that, though, and I'm certain that the reason for the OP is an exploit, hopefully one that the devs patch soon.

    I don't know, I think this thread has some merit as sociological research. Normally you have to go to a psych ward to find people this broken.
    Relax.

    While I also agree this thread needs to be nuked - it is always entertaining to have a active and lively thread going - it has become rather quiet and dull on these forums lately.

    Perhaps some more moderation - but keep the show going??:eek:

    I forgive you, my child.

    I have actually never had a problem with you - I do find you quite entertaining - with some very interesting videos.

    Can you confirm that your fleet does not engage in this type of activites? Or at the very least provide us with some more videos? Of Risa silliness?:P

    Come on you know you want to:eek:

    Funny me either. I have been to Risa zero times for the race.

    Between the two of us, I think it's safe to say it doesn't happen.

    And I can say, as someone who has earned around 700tags so far from running that race, that I have seen precisely zero cover shields as well.

    Cover shields can be jumped and it would actually have been kind of cool if random obstacles would show up like that officially to add more challenge. Though now I am slowly wanting to make the race more like Mario Kart or the like which would rock but if it was that good we'd never want it to go away.

    I think the fundamental issue here is still the flag grab thing... Clearly the game is capable of detecting when you pass over an area as a trigger... So why can't it tell who is the first, second, third, and so on to do this? Why is it so hard to just have the victory awarded like it would be in any race?

    This applies also to those stupid orbs in the Dyson ground battle zone. Why is it SO HARD to just give them to the people who ACTUALLY did the work instead of making them grief bait by having them spew out all over the place?


    I know it would be AWESOME if everyone behaved and played by the rules and did not set out to grief at every opportunity but there are some honest to goodness young people playing the game who may not even understand that they did something wrong. Then there are the adults who have less mental capacity than those young folks. :P Just as a caveat I am not talking about actually mentally handicapped people either because they probably would not be as pathetic as the trolls I am referring to.

    At any rate rather it is because of boredom, ignorance, laziness, desperation, or malice people will ALWAYS abuse any mechanic that can be abused. So with that reality well known the obvious question is this: WHY make mechanics that are so obviously able to be abused? Just take one moment and ask yourself "If I wanted to be a jerk with this system what would I do?" and when you answer the question make sure that whatever you came up with cannot be done.

    We are certainly willing to offer askray a home, if he needs one. However, we recognize that he already has to put up with enough whiny, self-important, perspective-free garbage here on the forums, and we understand if he does not leap at the opportunity to be the target of more of the same.

    Edit: btw, askray, if you really do want in, you'll have to complete the fed-side Foundry mission "SDAT: Survey of Nat. Sciences" and pm me the code at the end. Sorry, rules are rules.
