Is it just me? SOE Live Ultimate Squad Showdown

CzuukWaterson · 2013-08-07, 05:58 PM

Or do any of the 6 teams that participated in the SOE Live who scores will not be reported feel disrespected by this decision? Is disrespected too strong a word? Perhaps slighted?

Is it wrong of me to be upset by this move? I feel quite literally crushed by it. So much so that I haven't played PS2 or any other video game since RadarX called me a whiny prat in the forums.

We don't have details on anything yet last I looked. I will agree that not reporting the score for everyone isn't the best idea though.

We have confirmation that they will be reporting only the top ten teams. And some follow ups comments about how SOE is only reporting the winners for their other games. My follow up was if they're only reporting the winners for the other games, why extend it to an additional 7 and leaving the other 6 out in the cold?

When (if) SOE gives the event details they will only tell us the top 10 teams and any team below that will not have their scores given. A bit of drama, but this was for cash. Having cash as the reward makes this something of a matter seeing how cash is not something to play with in my opinion.

If you run an event for cash then you have to do it right. Top 10 should be enough seeing how only the top 3 gets paid but those under 10 shouldn't be left out and at least give the totals for them, if not the full details.

Also, the question was put to pretty much every SOE representative at the event by pretty much every competitor as to when the scores would be posted. We were told that the scores would be posted in a few days. We all assumed that they meant ALL of the scores.

Yes, there is drama. I will happily acknowledge that. The issue for me is that the winners (rightfully so) and the first 7 non-winners will have their outfits advertized officially by SOE until next years SOE Live event.

The second issue is that RadarX called me a whiny entitled prat and that I was wrong for having my feelings hurt.

It's the entitlement thing. That's a jab. I've been banned on the forums for using that word in a similarly veiled threat.

I didn't read it as a jab at you - he said no one gets the data. Sorry if that was a trigger word. Either way - drama threshold exceeded - I'm out.

It was an honor to participate. But it seems to me that by failing to report all the scores, SOE is promoting the kind of negativity that they claim to be trying to avoid. Only now we have to deal with the negativity coming from the game developer, rather than from the peanut gallery.

It's a trigger word because I've been banned from the forums for using it.

Yes. I personally think you are blowing this whole thing way out of proportion.

Ah of course. FutureCrew. The darling of the server come to pick on the little guys some more.
