NO!
It does more good than harm... It has to stay.
I don't agree.
I don't understand. Aren't the queued events already instanced?
Your problem.... Not mine... Especially since you don't provide any arguments for your case.
As to your lag issue OP, I'd diagnose why you're getting it in the first place and see if you can't do something about it.
If Cryptic would implement vote kick, like most of the other MMO's have we could get rid of it but until than it has to stay.
idk about that..i just ran ISE last night in my eng scimitar....and 4 other players that were FAWers....I was dying quicker than normal as I was still trying to figure out how i had it set up (this is my tac rom) on my sci rom that can survive just fine in the same layout...in the end, it was alsmost like i wasnt personally contributing much b/c the 4 others were wiping it all out before i could really do much (i was running DCx2 + DHCx2 + plasma torp..aft:plasma turretsx3) wasnt affected by any CDs (apart from the normal 1 hour lockout) im really surprised i wasnt nailed with an afk penalty as i spent at least half the time in respawn (we had ISE done in less than 4:30) I even said sorry for dying so much, though they didnt say anything *shrug*
but yeah, being able to stay out of combat and support the rest of the team and NOT get nailed by the AFK would be good (Ive done it a couple times)
But it is a valid criticism to state that it should take into account somehow, for somethings.
Such as dc'ing, or video crashing etc....things sometimes beyond the players control do happen.
And then there's this.
And it's something I don't see pointed out yet so I will point it out.
In this game there are certain skill sets, and even ships, whose sole purpose is to do just that.
Sit back, and support the fleet by buffing them, or healing them, etc...they are not designed to be heavy hitters and survive a one on one with a tac cube.
While I do agree with the penalty in some situations.
I think it's just a tad bit unfair to introduce into the game and the C-store too mind you.
Items which are designed for specifically doing that.
And then penalize someone for doing exactly what their skiills/ship is designed to do.
Surely there has to be some way to make things a little more equitable.
If not fine. Do away with the penalty all together.
Yes I'm saying it despite the criticism I am sure will come my way.
It is better to have no penalty at all, and just have to deal with it, than to penalize someone unfairly.
