ReddNekk Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) So What the hell is with this disease i picked up in the Republic fleet? The last thing I need when doing dailies, ops, and WZs is to be puking in the middle of a fight. And I damn sure aint going to spend 2k for a vaccine everytime i hit the fleet!

winterskorn Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) I shouldnt have to "wait 20 minutes" people just need to grow up and quit scamming people and play the game. ive been seeing it all day. someone gets a bunch of rakghoul vaccines and then goes to the fleet, infects a bunch of people with mutated rakghoul disease and then starts spamming cures at 2.5-3k a pop. bioware needs to put a stop to it Edited April 16, 2012 by winterskorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zepath Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Yeah ... A) Its a golden rule of MMO's ... you NEVER force a player to participate in an event. B) Like we don't have enough fricking lag as it is ... we need groups of 20-30 people huddled together so they puke on each other, going on hours on end at this point. Its annoying, its disgusting, its immature ... and its deteriorating my game play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddzball Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Or you could just quit complaining about it just to be complaining and go about your business. It goes away in 20 mins with little to no downside. You knew exactly what it was, you just came here on the forums to complain about it to troll other people. I knew someone would get all uppity about something like this. This is why we don't have fun events in MMOs anymore. People complain like old ladies and we get boring clicky quests or courier missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if anyone remembers in UO when the undead took over a whole CITY and players had to fight them to get it back. Never see that these days because people whine to much.

ekwalizer Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) You realize that you can buy the vaccine at ANY med center for 2k right? And how great of a gaming experience that is for fresh level 10s straight off their starter world huh? Most of them don't even have 2k, much less 2k to WASTE every 5 hours. It is ALWAYS a bad idea to have one person's debuff spread to others. This needs to end. It is griefing, and nothing else. Wait 20 minutes? Little to no downside? It killed me, and Im level 50 with over 19k hps. Oh ok, brilliant. "LFG Black Talon/Esseles, but I can't go for 19 minutes because I can't afford the cure and it will eventually kill me." BS. This needs to go away prior to the maintenance on Tuesday. Edited April 16, 2012 by ekwalizer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no, you died. OH NO! God when you die all this horrible stuff happens in game, you have to start a new character, you have to go get your corpse, it costs 11 BILLION credits to repair... ur... nope.. none of those things... Oh wait, nothing horrible happens. And if you dont have 10k by the time your at the fleet youre playing wrong. I had close to 15k. Besides I am positive someone would give you 2k for a vaccine if you were a newb and needed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close your eyes and dive right in. And whoop! after a quick fade to black your alive again, with no repair cost and no plague.. Was that so hard?

Derat Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 personally I think the "cure" on space stations should be free at scanning stations or something... There are enough (too many really as of 1.2) money sinks in the game... forcing people to buy a 2k cure repeatedly is dumb. I'm fk'in broke... having just had to fork out 600K for GB tab1 and a couple other 1.2 expenses ... its just 2k but its 2k I don't want to spend. I allowed my self to get blown up instead but frustrating there was no other option available. I loved the zombie event in wow though... when its once in a while and short terms these types of events can really add flavor. But they should not cost players money... by repair bills or vaccines etc... they can have them as an option for those with credits to burn but there should be a free option. In wow for example healers could cleanse the disease... not ideal still because now healer are constantly getting /beg from players ... but it was free. The point about level 10's getting infected and 2k being a lot is correct... Imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't find a spot to do that in 20 minutes, something is horribly wrong. Coruscant it's even easier, there's leap-and-scream all over the planet. It's not even turning people into Rakghouls, which would have been amusing. I'm a Wrath world event vet, and the sheer mayhem of the whole thing was delightful. It's not like it'll last more than a week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhayden Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 i personally liek the fact that we all have to be apart of it. It bring some change and reality to the game!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhayden Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 one thing i do think is that u should be stopped by a containment unit when you have the plague. u really should have a chance to walk around with the containment units around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthonytats Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I was just gonna level on Tatooine (Only level 27) but im gonna go find someone to infect me :/ 10k Per DNA? You get 5 after 20 mins... Easy 50k every other 20mins? Sweeeeeeet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XanatosKatarn Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Im actually astounded that people managed to find something to complain about with this even. It's a game, try having fun for once. And people whining about the vaccine costing a whole 2k? even if you are a lower level, 2k is nothing. Worst comes to worst, avoid the guy with the glowing eyes and green stank lines on him.

You should have between 5 to 12k coming off the starter planet. There is also a pretty cool story behind it and the constant ministry of logitistics warnings on the imperial fleet along with cut scenes that you can see and tell Bioware spent a lot of time on. Its pretty fun if you get in on the event. And you are rewarded for it with the DNA samples to buy vanity items or black-green color crystals on Tatooine. And ToR isnt the first MMO to do a plague event also. I also accidentally infect people because it gives me something to do while crafting and selling stuff on the GTN. Pretty much what a real life illness or plague would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatghost Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Look at it this way- you could be on a ghost sever like the one I'm on (have my main there thus not rerolling elsewhere- yet) and have absolutely nobody to infect...guess it's letting myself go splat as much as I can and doing the dailies for as long as they last to get the DNA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackBond Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 People don't understand things or do not like to be forced in to it. At least you can make easy cash from this event. Also If your infected and each day you infect 10 people you get 5 of the Rakghoul Vaccine. Also if your in it for the PVP there is nothing better then this event. I killed 30 republic players thanks to this event on tats alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
