I will lol if egg shaped pumice is in game. Since a majority of the server won't be stacking buffs for shit (esp early on), instant pumice will make running -- even from a melee -- a near impossibility.

now back to regularly scheduled thesis on the evils of reaching the glory land.

I dont see either of the alternatives as more or less hardcore, or whatever it is that we are discussing. I'll play the game and be just as happy wether plugging is in or not. I kind of feel if these are the issues being worked on we should already be playing, you know?

Lol, yeah, now I really know you aren't worth arguing with.

Considering the point you are attempting to make here is....

"Well, if they are spending time on fixing things they might as well just stop and turn the server on!"

You have no idea where in the development stage of the server they are at. They have a multi-person team and this is just one of many things they are likely working on. The actual coding for most of these stickied issues takes very little time to implement. I'd much rather spend the next 2 months having them get community feedback on these issues and have them sorted out prior to release than have a half-assed server put up right now. Believe me, there have been plenty of those floating around already.

IMO lets play on the half assed server right now today... and know that it'll be rebooted, changed, wiped, whatever else. Wouldn't be a better "launch" day if we call it Beta now in whatever state it is in now? Just being able to play P99 style pvp at all in any form without the douchebaggery of other servers who have tried...

It incredible how one tracked your minds are. Did i say i wanted to play on a crashing piece of shit server? No, I didn't. Did i say RELEASE NOW!!11? No, I didn't. Did i claim to know what stage of development they are in? No, I didn't claim that either.

To make it easier to understand here's the important part; most of these issues have never bothered me and I'm surprised so many of you see them as problems. Why would I prefer to wait for something being implemented that I don't think is a problem?

It's pretty apparant that the people venting here are mostly for it. If it makes for a stronger community or whatever it is you are saying it will achieve then go ahead. To me it's a non issue. Is this so hard to understand?

Yes to removing zone plugging

Its not important to me either way and I would only say its not worth putting in a significant amount of man hours. Players will adjust their play style to the rules one way or another.

Personally don't care of people plug while zoning. This was never a problem on Rallos. It happened, it wasn't an issue to anyone though.

Besides people can lose connection legitimately, don't want to penalize them for that probably.

Yukahwa · #57 08-25-2011, 06:02 PM

Yep, it just happened, wasn't a big deal. If you want to kill the guy wait for him on the other side when he reboots or just walk away and try harder to kill before the zone line next time.

when ppl do it it pisses me off to no end, but as someone who never actually plugs but crashes every 2-3 times i zone something like this would assrape me, especially if after you get disconnected/crash it takes like 10 minutes to log back in (a la voidds boxing limit). if i could log back in before my npc self appeared, then 100% for it

Arguing in favor of zone plugging is pure lols. Networking strategy has no place in an mmorpg IMO.

Why is it so much lols?
What I think is lame is that people with a faster comp have an obvious advantage when it comes to zoning. Taking out plugging is seriously fked up and if thats the case I wouldnt even make a melee.

To even out taking out plugging can you should make a minimum zone time for people with rediculous amounts of money to spend on a fast computer? Say minimum zone time is 15 - 20 seconds.

If they complete their zone, re zone, then I appear after he has already zoned I lose hands down. This would be 100% frustrating and to know that they can get away every time by doing that and I can't have any chance to escape is broken and frustrating.
