KTap Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Just waited until someone was about to explode, they ran up to me, probably super excited to see someone without a vaccine/infected and I popped the relic just in time. You know he mad Now... time to go explode on people who are trying to not participate in the event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halinalle Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) I'll be ok with this event as soon as we get a pvp week, in which everybody is flagged for pvp unless they buy a waiver that is good for six hours (does not persist on defeat). I pretty much don't want to do any warzones while this event is going on. We have enough stuns / CC in pvp without adding the plague stun. There's a stim that removes it and protects you few hours: 2k credits There's a relic (3 different versions of it for different levels) that does the same thing but with unlimited number of uses: can't remember price but it's not super expensive.

ivanhedgehog Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Except ditching a pvp relic in favor of a (I don't know what it's stats are or how bolster will handle it) sounds like a bad idea. So, options are: deal with (probably) nerfed stats in a warzone (use relic), spend lots of creds on vaccines, or deal with random stuns from the plague. Awesome. EDIT: I'm talking about 55 pvp. you use the rakghoul relic and then switch relics back..the protection stays with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThorgrimLutgen Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Until they add in that all plague carriers are flagged for PVP to both factions, so we can slaughter them, as indeed instructed by THORN, then the event is a joke, as it always has been.

Joesixxpack Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Would you be OK with a "PvP week" that turned every server into open-world PvP free-for-all that allowed every level character to attack any other character of any level -- anywhere on any world or station or instance -- unless the target had purchased a "shield unit" within the last 6 hours? Yes. **** yes. No shield units pls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickious Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) ^ He's got a good point. We already have enough babies who complain about pvp in a zone that's completely avoidable during the gree event. I can only imagine the nerdrage for that implementation.

Gomla Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 How long does this stupid event last? Just so I know how long I have to wait until I can log back in again. I have no interest in it and keep getting infected by morons so i'm just going to sit it out and play something else until this craps over.

I can only imagine the nerdrage for that implementation. This wouldn't make everyone PVP. This would only mark those that are infected running around trying to infect others, as PVP. Seems to me it would even the playing field. Try to infect me in a fleet spawning area? Better run for your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaall Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Yes I would be. Because they give you an option to opt out of it. Unless you're telling me 2000 credits is too much to ask for. It depends on wether you are paying 2000 credit to participate in something (like repairing your stuff) Or Paying 2000 Credits to NOT participate on something that annoys you. Clearly it is not a question of credits, it's a question of principle. The simple fact that it is "opt out" instead of "opt in" is bad thinking from those who conceived it, but the fact that you have to pay to opt out makes it unquestionably unbearable. For me this mission where people interfere with your gameplay without you having a say about it, is the same as using an exploit to force you into PvP when you are questing peacefully, This quest that consist on infecting other players shoud not exist to begin with.

ApostleThirst Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Things you can do when infected - buy a vaccine/relic. Boom. Done. Go inside a phase and /stuck. Boom. Done. Avoid fleet and use a guild flagship instead (because really, a flagship should have everything you need). Boom. Done. Heck, go to fleet anyways and use the aforementioned /stuck. or jump off a ledge. Embrace the event and get an easy 8k by exploding on other people once you've been infectected. Boom. Done (literally). Things that can be annoying but also possible to get over - the Rakghoul event. Things that are far more annoying - scrubs who don't know how to have fun.

Kaall Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) But you do have a say about it. 2k for a vaccine. Boom. Problem Solved. you didn't read did you ?, so i'll have to autoquote myself : it is not a question of credits, it's a question of principle. You shouldn't have to pay to opt out, hell you shouldn't even have to opt out, it should literally ask you if you want to participate. Having to opt out is a problem Having to PAY to opt out is an even greater problem. Like i said it's a question of principle Feel free to tell me again that paying 2000cr is supposed to solve the problem.

LordArtemis Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Well, I didn't like the idea of the infection mechanic, until they made some changes to the vaccine. Now I just run over, grab a vaccine or two, and I'm good. For me, at least, it is no longer an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Killjoy Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) Things that are far more annoying - scrubs who don't know how to have fun.

Max_Killjoy Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 You really are trying to live up to your forum tag aren't you? How? If some players not taking part in an event somehow ruins that event for those who do take part, then maybe the people who designed that event should be questioned, instead of the players who'd rather do something else that week instead of run around and inflict their "fun" on random strangers.

ApostleThirst Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Actually, that should read "Scrubs who can't have fun without being ruining someone else's". You misunderstand. We assume people like to have fun and wish to participate in the Rakghoul event if they aren't vaccinated. If you don't want to get infected, get vaccinated to show that. Again, I provided you with a variety of ways to deal with that; it really isn't that difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
