All Three Empires per server

[Happy lil Elf]

Entertaining Elf, but taken way out of context, and seemingly personally.

Umm, thanks I guess. Hardly taken personally however. I simply find needing "hate for your enemies" to enjoy playing a video game or playing a video game for the express purpose of pissing off your opponents to be extremely stupid and just a bit on the pathetic side. Of course that's simply my opinion and it shouldn't really matter all that much to you. I do appologize it wasn't worded a bit more diplomatically but I've never really sugar coated any of my responses.

I agree with Elf here. I don�t hate the other players in the game and I�m concerned with their level of enjoyment as well as my own. Without motivated good competition what fun is there in the game? Hence all my thoughts here about game balance. If a fair set of variables is not perceived then people will leave. I want more people playing and having a blast, not less. It�s a game and is supposed to be fun.

As for the taunt macros and their purpose I see a more benign and silly usage behind them. Sure you can have your petty blood feud with another player and taunt each other, but I like to have fun with them. I once spammed the voice taunts right after I mowed my Outfit leader in the Sanctuary with a Basilisk. People were in stitches and it was a blast. Of course I saved the screenshot as a trophy of my �skillz�. In any event, if you are getting too hyper because some 12yr old voice taunted you or you are getting your panties in a bind over the same player owning you too many times in a row the problem is solely with you. It�s a game, relax, and think of a way to take your nemesis down. If you don�t thrive on the challenge and are genuinely getting angry and frustrated I have to ask, um, what do you do for fun? Cuz, this ain�t it.

If they keep the timer, no problem. Without the timer, you would have the sabatouge problem (we already have it, but not to a great extenet). Imagine, just cant take that base? Log in as the enemy alt, blow your own gen, switch back and get the xp.

For me:

1 Empire per server.

Why? I like knowing who the "bad-ass" guys are on the server. If I see certain uber people in the kill spam either killing or being killed, I will either make a move to hunt them or run the hell away.

When Markov was joined by Johari, it took me a while before I could add the new uber people to my attention.

I like knowing having the enemy population be stagnant so I know who to look for.

Each character can have a ***8220;title***8221; based on his/her combined BR/CR level. The series of titles would be Server specific. In this way you could easily tell what player has what Home server in the game. E.G. Player 1 -***8220;Hey I don***8217;t recognize that Br20 Cr5***8221;. Player 2 ***8211; ***8220;He is from Markov because his title is Suzerain and that***8217;s the top title on Markov***8221;. You can only join Outfits on your Home server and when visiting another server your server title would show under your name rather than your outfit to mark you as a visitor. You may still Squad and Platoon as normal and gain BEP and CEP, but not Outfit points. This would allow you to visit other servers without having to start a new fledgling character, but encourage you to stay on your home server for the Outfit benefits.

I love that idea. Either use that or something like it, or put the 1 empire/server cap back in.

Argh, it's obvious that PorkyHomer is not getting with the program, and now you guys have turned yourselves into spamm cadets every bit as bad as him! Pshaw!

Lol, Jagd, you're doing that yourself.

The sabouteur problem can be eliminating by placing a timer even ofr 30 minutes.

The only bad thing with 3 empires per server is that you dont get to keep your grudge against someone since the next day they are your teammate. No honour between enemy and you.

Back with only one character per server i knew who were good and who died easily now theres 3 times more names because of the merge i can no longer keep track who are skilled and who are n00bs. With 3 empires per server there is going to be even more names taken original and stupid the devs will have their ands full with bannings.

Why the hell can't I edit my godamn post?

Oh, =P Button was there, just invisible.

Nevermind.

*sigh*

Riyu-- if you want a faster way to find those you seek, look for backpacks. I am always hunting enemy CR5s.
