BS... this idea that crafters don't PvP is garbage. Since most of our players do both and harvest it is some kind of limiting to put players in that box. It's a PvP game... everyone PvPs or they leave.

PvP like everybody else... this idea that there are players who don't roam or participate in the action is silly.

I've thought for awhile that we'd fight in dropped gear for a month... crafted blue for another month or three, purps in 4-5? Not going to happen past that considering Beta to soft launch shouldn't be more than 6 months.

Thanks to Coolster, for summing up my day.

The ski industry basically shut down for the next week and likely further/for the season in the US. I work at Stevens Pass in winter which is a Vail Resort, guess I am ready for 5.110. https://www.foxnews.com/us/vail-alterra-close-ski-resorts-coronavirus

sounds like a bad spy plant attempt... get another account called MikeTheMole for that.

THURSDERGS!

Yes... the reputation system is player and guild driven. No, you cannot control every player but you can know who is a small scale pk/griefer and who or which guilds have enough power to come down on you for disrupting their flow of materials and campaign win points. All of this falls under the scope of political intrigue in an open world PvP sandbox. You kill all reds then you are likely to eventually kill the wrong player and get your sheet burned to the ground. It will be self-evident who is being hunted down by the guild sanctioned killers, I will certainly be posting certain bounties and sending out killers with specific heads to roll. You kill with consequences, sometimes you will be hunted down other times the reward from another guild for doing it may be a net gain. All of this is still better handled in Dregs by guilds, kill lists, NAP's, and common civility... of course it will break down into certain feuds and bickering, board warrioring idiocy, and yet in the end we love it, get knocked down, piss our nights away, get up, and come back for more.

DERGS

You have to accept this as the regular material safety technique... You can have a stealther just scout, note the stealth looter/banker hiding spot then ambush with some good timing and take the bigger prize.

What is this "side" thing? We will be playing in GvG rule set for the most part. Small guilds and solos can play on faction and some guilds will do faction as they develope players but for the most part there will be DOZENS of sides, every guild will be a side and while some will have alliances we would hope that there are always ways to pry alliances loose and the politics dictate more than the zerg does.

correct, I was pointing out that we will again get to see a more FF play. As before it is a temporary state while mechanics are implemented.

As Corvax stated, we tested group only green back awhile, it was fun and different but wouldn't make zergs go away. From what I heard we will not have alliances so it IS somewhat FFA between allies as everyone not your guild will be red (unless they group into a guild led group?). I know we could invite reds to group in eks with PVP turned on... that is probably how allied guilds will run, mixed groups to minimize FF.

They don't work weekends, except Gordon... and release week. We never get anything on Mondays, so redo your math's to make it 10, 3/10 is the next possible DERGSday.
