Alci on most of your posts you post like you are the man in charge, the one having the last word when i doubt that's actually true. Keep in mind majority of your suggestions/bashing of other players suggestions are your PERSONAL OPINIONS, nothing else. Sometimes the one having last word will agree with you and sometimes not.
I state my opinions; just as you state yours. My opinions are derived from chatting with my 'experienced' friends who have played this game for a few rounds now. I make no intentional pretence at speaking for everyone; just those whom i consider experienced and who have similar views to my own. If you don't wish to be lumped in with them, then don't consider yourself part of the players i was referring to and make your own objections. That is what you are
entitled to do.
Moving onto your more serious objections I get the feeling you may, or may not, have read my posts thoroughly or understood my reasoning behind them. Perhaps I am being unclear, or perhaps you simply skim through posts and interpret them as you see fit.
"The experienced" players think l/f was fundamentally flawed and bash the newbies who post to bring it back ? I kinda doubt that, there are numerous older players that made plenty posts saying how they enjoyed it and how fun it would be to have it back.
L/F was fundamentally flawed as was experience and (in my personal opinion) the original Bounty Hunting plan (BHing was tied in at the most basic level with L/F as i recall). You should be capable of understanding that there is a significant difference between something that is
fun and something that is
flawed. To get into the nitty gritty of my personal opinions, which you seem so fond of harassing, I had a great time with L/F, experience, and Bounty Hunting (with titles and free for all claimable bounties) however i must say that i truly believe they didn't encourage the right kind of gameplay and experience was very flawed. It led to wildly overpowered early firing units. Surely you of
all people would understand that. I have heard thousands of stories about you and exped TLs
Nota bene: Ahead is not a newbie.
Summary: L/F, BHing, Experience were great fun and i quite enjoyed them; i think many others would agree but heaven forbid i actually speak for them
but, and here's the crucial bit, they were flawed and that's why they were removed, so we could try to move onto a more functional system. What that system is, i don't know specifics nor would i hazard an uneducated guess as to what could be accomplished but the FC that Azzer is working on has a lot of promise for the return of some of those original game mechanics without the flaws that made them abuseable.
Majority of those who are 100% against l/f and any other ranks stats like effectiveness BH etc are the diehard pure valuation players who want the entire server to compete with them in the game THEY WANT. What, somebody wants to compete in kills in effectiveness in BH or anything else than valuation play inside an alliance? NONSENSE, let's bash them all, this game will develop how we want, all rest it's fundamentally flawed.
That is a rather unexpectedly generalized statement without a shred of evidence. We call those things
opinions, which is a word you are very fond of bandying about. Please leave your sensationalist, baseless, and argumentative statements at home where they belong. Don't project your own insecurities and thoughtless remarks into my posts because they don't belong there.
While I am certain there are some players who object to those mechanics you mentioned because they
only want to play for valuation i'm sure i could find 2-3 players who object to them because they're broken mechanics. I like having Bounty Hunting as a stat, i also like having Eff as a stat (****ed up tho it is
).
Reminds me of Sordes who came on mirc to post the same fundamental flawed **** in mirc as soon as he read one of my suggestions and the next round surprise, Azzer had a different view and implemented it.
Azzer already posted once the fairness calculator is operational he can do stuff with it which might include l/f and bounty if i'm not mistaking, so instead just sharing negativism because the game might go into a direction which YOU don't like you can come up with better alternatives to make valuation players and those who want other aims happy.
If you bothered to read some of my other posts in reference to the FC you would find that I support it entirely, and would gladly see the return of L/F in a fair, and not
flawed manner. Please, please, please, i implore you to stop interpreting my posts incorrectly, it'll save us both time since i won't have to correct you, and you won't have to write long posts that are completely incorrect in their assumptions, statements, assertions and conclusions.
I feel it a duty to point out mistakes, flaws or badly conceived ideas for the betterment of the game. I will freely admit i'm not a very good game mechanic inventor, but i am a fairly competent critic (all in my own
opinion of course
) If you had bothered to read my post, you might have noticed i'm not just complaining about the ideas Ahead posted because they affect me personally; i was using my personal experience (what other kind is there?!) to demonstrate why i
thought it might be a detrimental change for allies who aren't extremely well organized and have well distributed organizers.
Where, oh where, in my post did i ever mention that i only support valuation players, or that I am always going for purely valuation or any of that inane subject?
Finally, and most importantly, don't compare me to Sordes, we're not even remotely the same.
Ooh and one last point.... i
am the man in charge, thank you for recognizing me as such. Your support is greatly appreciated and you will be receiving a tax receipt in the mail in 2 to 5 weeks.
EDIT: All i'm really asking for is that you genuinely read my posts. Sure you might object to the manner in which i present them, but then you have the
right to post your opinion contrary to mine as you did. I'm posting an opinion shared by a large number of people, you are posting an opinion that (i assume) you share with some players as well.
