were you able to activate it though and clear the debuff?

My 61 horse and my 29 bear now has 50% more hp than my 61 wolf. wtf?

Seriously people, we've been begging them since day one to fix alphas and fix aggros because we repeatedly get our asses kicked by them. Now that they've added in an even better chance of getting your ass kicked do you really think they're going to listen to you? This dev team is driving this cart with blinders on and can't even see the cliff ahead of them. Watch the dev stream. It was 15 minutes of them dismissing player complaints and an hour-and-a-half discussing how they were going to seriously fuck everyone over.

Didn't you see that on the dev stream? How they laughed maniacally when discussing how a group had gotten slaughtered while fighting one of the boss mobs because it wasn't balanced. That told me all I needed to know about how much a shit they give about the players. No apology, 'sorry guys, we really got that wrong. But we're going to fix it." No, it was chuckle, chuckle, ha, ha, they got wiped.

Ok, this so far seems strange. I can exit out a door I have that goes to my roof.

- Improved door ticking performance Now seriously... how can you make code changes to a door's performance and NOT TEST THE DOOR?

Another I get to ignore. Ta ta.

Want more jackass? I know how forums work.

Yep. ^

The one the mods have already removed because it was inappropriate. Is your short term memory that bad?

Crying the servers should be wiped because you can't win, abusing the forums to post your political views, abusing the forums to advertise yourself repeatedly, argumentum ad hominem... shall I keep going?

You're offensive and should not be on these forums.

No, you have to wait on the pretty boys in the Air Force to FUBAR it. Good, then don't say it's on me when the dev's have the spawn rate cranked up to the point that it's insane. I should NOT have to join a company in order to be able to walk out my door without dying incessantly.

Which is why I'm on the PVE server. In theory, that should never happen. Don't you get the point here? Neither of us is right and neither of us is wrong. But you demanding that everything be done for your groups IS wrong. I play the way I want to play and I respect the way YOU want to play. If changing the game to fit my needs is going to severely and negatively impact the way you play the game then don't make the change. It's that simple. But don't sit here and say, 'Oh well, they shouldn't do that because you play solo and this isn't a single player game and since I don't play that way, screw you.' Or did the Army not teach you to respect others? The Marines sure taught me that.

Or, you can solo like I do. In which case it's all mine and I have no one to blame when I screw up except myself and I can take pride in saying I did that.

Ok, lets. Right now, you own nothing. Until such time as that's changed, you can NEVER own anything. Every bit of work you do goes in someone else's pocket. Whether you're able to use those resources is irrelevant, they are not yours. The only difference between slavery and what you're doing is that you can choose to leave at any time. However, the consequences are the same, you'll leave with nothing and likely be forced back into willing slavery for someone else when you can't find a claim of your own. Or, you'll rent land and be perpetually indebted to someone else for land and structures that once again, you'll never own.

I did not forget. Breeding WILL be added. It is not now. Until that time, I'm being punished for not participating in content.

Ummm, because you built that structure and it should be yours??? Just like all the resources YOU collect should be YOURS. All the ships YOU build should be YOURS. If the company chooses to tax what you collect, fine. Then you're willing to give a portion of what you've gathered to support the company but everything else is yours to keep. In your case though, you're no better than a slave with everything going to the plantation. And I can even make the argument that you've been brainwashed by the company to the point that you even LIKE it.

I believe you're mistaken. There are no settings I've seen in this game (yet) that indicates that what a player builds belongs to them when they're in a company. The owner of the company owns it all. And I have tested (a week or two ago, this may have changed) with others the ability to intentionally give ships to individuals and it didn't work. Structures have no ability to give away, you can only do so by dropping claim flags. Do you seriously think a company will allow someone to take one of their claims simply because they want to leave the company? The terms of my company? It's mine, whether I'm on good terms with myself or not. As you may have guessed by this post and possibly others, I am not one to keep my mouth shut and I'll be damned if I'm going to parse my words with the threat of being back in a freeport on a raft if I don't.

And tell me, if you go out and tame a bear, who owns that bear? Can you go trade it to someone and keep the profits for yourself or does that all go to the company. Let's assume for the moment that things change and suddenly you have a jackass for a leader who really dislikes you. What happens when you get fed up and decide to leave that company. Do you get to take any of those ships with you? Do you get to keep any of those buildings? What happens when you screw up (we're all human, it's gonna happen) and the leader decides he doesn't like you any more and boots you out of the company. What do you have to show for all that work? I'm sorry but if I put the effort into carving out a niche in this game world, I don't want anyone to have the power to take it away from me. In many MMO's like EVE online, if you build a ship, it's yours. You can give it to the company if you wish and the company will then have ownership. A company can give YOU a ship and from then on, you own it. The company cannot take what is yours from you be it ships, resources, etc. In this game EVERYTHING belongs to the company and you don't own squat. Does that help you understand how I think?

Generally speaking, the purpose of raid content in other mmo's is to give you access to things you can't acquire elsewhere. The age debuff is punishment for not doing raid content. I should be able to choose to do it or not and not suffer penalties if I don't.

So I can go pick cotton for someone else? Right-o. The fear is having to deal with simple-minded people like you who try to classify everyone as a clone of themselves. Simply because you do not understand how everyone else thinks does not mean they should think like you.

Hey guys, he's right. No PvP'er would ever cry about someone using an exploit against them. It's our fault and now everyone must suffer. *rolls eyes*

And, if everything else these dev's do is an example of what this is going to be. it'll be pointless for solos to even go there. Hell, we get slaughtered walking out our front door, nevermind actually engaging in any content.
