30 minutes removed =/= active combat. It was just a gathering of people.
I mean, losing the skills, that really sucks. It sucks bad, and it cripples a lot of classes who rely on their capstones. Getting hit with that for 5 days can definitely trigger a "well, fuck this, I'm just gonna wait it out" reaction, and I can't really blame the player for that.
On the other hand, though, without that skill loss who would really give a shit about a TDF? It's nothing but a slight numbers modification, which is a pretty shit punishment. If you're heavily artifacted, you can eat it and still be stronger than most of the game. If all you care about is PvE it's not going to affect you notably, especially if you're a dragon. And if you care about PvP it's still not a HUGE difference.
Without the skill penalty there's basically nothing there that makes it into a deterrent or a real punishment. If the skill penalty goes then something has to replace it.
It's never been unprovoked. If a kid pulls a cat's tail and gets bitten, are you the kind of person that blames the kid, or the cat?
A few city news-posts over the past two weeks and I think this would be over by now.
I think Anaria hit the nail on the head with her comments ...
2. I haven't been sniping at anyone.
You're constantly misrepresenting things- that's a fact, not a snipe. You made three or four posts throwing shade about a situation that you were, quite simply put, wrong about. You kept insisting Sartan was just randomly slaying Eleusians, like they didn't provoke him into doing it, and then you just deleted your post when you realised you were wrong, instead of fessing up to being wrong.
Bottomline is it wouldnt of happened if the initiating party would of just kept in his mortal lane. No benefit of enemying a divine..... one what so ever besides the attempt to get there attention and he did and now starts up cryfest 2017 over it.
Again you all have it easy! I work for the guy and am scared everytime i report to him that i am gonna get zurged or punished for not doing enough (i love it, keeps me on my toes), and you think your gonna get away with outright disrespect.... i spit at your mindsets..
And you won't understand the cause of your grief...
...But you'll always follow the voices beneath.
15.7 SPAMMING
| Advertising, especially |
Spamming, in the context of Achaea, includes repetition, advertising, and flooding:
1) REPETITION: repeatedly sending, transmitting, or communicating in any way. This may be repeated yells, shouts, says, or use of market, clan, city, order, house, or any other private, group, or public channels of communication.
--------
I spend a lot of my time in Achaea on mobile devices when I'm out and about. There is no gagging, what we're subjected to with extermination messages is essentially the above. It's not a combat instigation mechanic in such swathes, we've already established that the forests will heal themselves untended. Essentially it's just spamming a portion of the populace.
Raiding, crusades, shrine defilement and guard bashing exists for your combat pleasure.
Becoming a forest enemy is probably one of the most irritating mechanics that exists in Achaea. You are literally dealing with the concept that you -are- an enemy to the forest which not only may attack you defensively, but that you may be attacked for standing within even for non-aggressive reasons.
It is true that the whole system of extermination is a little much, really there are two things that factor into this, whether or not a forest room has been protective (grove wise) or the exterminator has enough essence to perform the ability.
Both of these systems, probably should be reworked into a more fluid system for conflicts; however, it would remain to be seen.
As far as directly calling out the Lord of Evil in shouts and essentially being disrespectful. Yes, a five day TDF sounds harsh; however, one DID call out and -publicly- disrespected the God of Evil. You know, that doesn't sound very intelligent. Each of our actions have consequences, I mean I highly doubt @Sartan would give a high-five or wave something of that Nature off. His ideology is built on strength, cruelty, and advancement. It also factors in what happens should the "Weak" ever blatantly stand up or revolt against those who are "strong".
We really do not give those enough credit who put in endless hours behind the scenes or make the game run. Is everyone going to be happy? Probably not. But it is not like you don't have resolutions or factors that you can take into account without dragging every damn thing to forums and post about it.
If it is really eating at you that much, just log out. Go outside, pet a cat, drink tea. Read a book, whatever. Do something that takes your mind off of it. This is a -game-. It has also been mentioned about 500 times to send an email and to issue if need be. Keep in mind though, there probably are in character resolutions to this particular situation.
Relax, enjoy. Go have some tea.
"Why is it that whenever someone says 'with all due respect', they really mean 'kiss my ass'?"
I won't get into debating the validity of anything done but I will say that there seems to be a massive disconnect between what the majority of the Eleusian playerbase wants, and what it's getting. Now, most of you aren't involved in the leadership, and for that reason you feel you have earned the title of a victim. It's either your leadership's fault, or Mhaldor's fault. I feel, personally, that you are to blame.
You have allowed the dregs of Achaean society to take over what was once one of the most alluring cities in the game. I mean no disrespect to any single Eleusian leader but I can say with easy confidence that the collective result of your combined efforts is absolute dog shit. I'm no fan of Mhaldor, but I respect most Mhaldorians. I know what you say they do, and I know what they do, and it's no coincidence that you only hear these complaints from Eleusis. Why doesn't Mhaldor complain about Targossian strong-arm tactics, or our midnight 500 man raids, or Ashtan (pre-Jhui exodus)? Well, quite simply, it's because they don't happen. Or at least they are few and far between, and are certainly not the norm.
As Benjamin Franklin once said, "[We've given you] A republic, if you can keep it."
All of this nonsense aside I believe it is time for you, the working class of Eleusis, to rise up and take your city back.
#MakeEleusisGreatAgain
You specifically out of almost everyone in your faction has lost all respect as a human being for your mindset actions and conduct through these events. Anyone who considers listening to anything you have to say about... well anything automatically gets put in the "your garbage" category of life.
