Distension discussion

[Stabwound]

You know what. Fuck it. I'm done with Distension, Stabwound tells other people to assist but won't even do it himself. He goes off on this little "obligation" BS. You are obligated to keep the teams from being stacked you fucking moron. You have gotten just as bad as HMS. I'm tired of this schedule, you wanting to fuck up the lancs settings, the million or so levis, and the bot d/cing me constantly.
Peace

loooool, are you kidding me?

How are you going to sit there and tell me that I WASN'T doing my job?

Check the scenario: teams are 18v10 and I'm on the team with 18 people. I tell people on my own team to assist because the teams are massively uneven. Direct orders from qan are to shut down the bot if the teams are this unbalanced and people won't assist. Trunks_rage immediately starts calling me an asshole and abuser and raving that I kicked him from the game or something (I did no such thing and found his actions to be hilarious).

Just because I'm an op doesn't mean I'm obligated to assist, and I'm especially not going to assist when it would leave my team with 1 terr. I am, however, obligated to do something about 18v10 teams. So, let's summarize: I am on a team with 18 players, Trunks_rage is on a team with 10, and he goes crazy because I ask people from my team to assist his team. Gee, I wonder what he would have said if I didn't ask my team to assist?

I've noticed that Trunks_rage seems to be suffering from schizophrenia, and I have donned my special space detective's hat to attempt to discover the source of this phenomenon.

When you know people are running something poorly and you can't change it, that obviously is going to piss you off.

Oh, really? What ever happened to this opinion from a few days ago?

Also, even though Stabwound is a terrible terr, he runs Distension very well, and is one of the most competent mods in TW right now.

Hmmm... I think I may have found a clue...

Stabwound, does it really surprise you most people who aren't lanc, and don't think they will ever be able to unlock lanc, think it should be less powerful? That is total tyranny of the majority at its worst.

Just like Viruk said, there are times when spider is even more effective at clearing a room than the lanc. There is a long enough delay between my bullets firing to kill me, if I take out 6 people it is because I'm dodging not eating. Spiders that tank my bullets can actually kill me quite effectively.

Reducing something by a factor of 3 is ridiculous. Especially since you have never used lanc and don't know how often leeching actually works. I can fire off 3 sets of bullets in succession using just my normal energy. Understand? That means if I do clear out the FR I've only gotten a single Leech to do it. You basically want to reduce that possibility to a 3rd, that is bullshit and you know it. It is the same as using an energy tank.

I don't think you should have the power to single out a certain ship. Right now I am at a very high rank, 47, that is higher than most peoples ships in a very powerful ship, of course I'm going to overpower a lot of people. The levis can shoot level 3s and still tank my lvl2s.

All my ship can basically do is shoot off bullets. It is slow and has crummy recharge. The best thing about it is leeching it is the only real perk. You take that away you are being a total dick and showing huge bias by singling out a ship you don't use. People used to complain more about the spiders early on when they got super, and the weasels who can port and cloak and a million other things.

You think it is fair to reduce the only good upgrade for lanc to a third of its current value? that would make the maximum leech possible lower than what I have now with only 3/5 upgrades. You want me to slave away to get less of what I already have. Total bullshit man, complete failure of leadership.

I've solved the case! You're just nerd raging because I said I was going to suggest to qan that he reduce the leeching a bit. I go from "running Distension very well" and "one of the most competent mods in TW" to an asshole and abuser because one one forum post about slightly reducing the extreme unbalance of the only ship you play?

In short, eat a dick.

[project dragon]

Spiders can eat lvl 2 bullets? When does that happen ?


Also, at the end of every round, Most Kills usually go to a Lanc, which is why I assume this is up for debate. Nerfing the leech doesn't sound like a bad idea, but maybe do 10% instead of the proposed 5%? I don't have a lanc, and I do get a little angry about it killing me so many times, but no more angry than those quick wb's that run around the fr tanking bullets like it's their business, and super rocket javs.

Agreed

It's already been mentioned, but I'll write it anyways:

It would be great if Distension could more or less run regularly, much like Robotboy's timed pubs do currently. A great feature of TW is the ability to jump in at any time when schedule permits (any given player's personal schedule, not the game's schedule) and just play.

If it's a pain to get into Distension (long waits, infrequent uptime), then it will appeal only to a smaller group that happens to be able to make it to games during those times.

I've tried to test out Distension a few times, over the course of several days, and each time it has been closed, with 2 to 7 players speccing only. So I just return to Robotboy's timed pub and have a blast. Might be fun to try out Distension though, if its schedule can become more flexible.

Only problem with free play in Distension [when people come in, and just jump in when they want] is that it lags the server. Thats a good idea though. Hopefully it will happen in the near future. Like once dbot is on the same server as the rest of the TW bots.

You know what. Fuck it. I'm done with Distension.

That's good, you suck anyways.

Second generation baser. Can't even aim at all.

[Trunks_rage]

I've solved the case! You're just being reasonable because I said I was going to force qan to reduce the leeching drastically. I go from "running Distension competently" to an asshole and abuser because I want to single out a certain ship I don't have and get rid of the only good feature on one of the ships you play?

In short, I like dicks

Fixed.

No more 1am sessions on Saturday, that can definitely eat a dick. You have the highest ranking ship in the entire game, but nobody complains because you suck so bad at it. The schedule and the game play are tiring. I've already dominated the shit out of it and you anyway, good luck asshole.

[getting pwned]

Wouldn't him having the higest ranked ship in the game make him.. Oh call me crazy for saying this.. GOOD?

Also, No more streaks for camping? And no dist on Saturdays?

Truth, or rumor to cause a major panic?

[jngy slate]

Crazy

[project dragon]

The schedule and the game play are tiring. I've already dominated the shit out of it and you anyway,

and you are complaining the ship you are dominating every other ship with is going to be nerfed?

No wonder why it must not be fun for you at all.

Trunks you've said your going to leave the game several times, but you continue to reply to almost every forum post.
Your american arn't you? why the hell are you complaining about the schedule? I only get to play twice a week, on the 1am sessions, the weekend sessions are for people in other countries, not everyone who plays the game is American.
I know the schedule isn't great, I hope they will change it soon, or make it 24/7 with the 2 hour limit per day, then noone would complain.
Leeching should be reduced from 15% --> 10%, not 15% to 5%
lanc is not so overpowered, spiders are close to getting level 2 bullets, levis are close to blue emp (i think?), wicket has a thor, javs have level 2 bombs, weasels are close to brick. Many people play all these ships, only 2 people play lanc, an occasional 3 players, in about a month, lanc will not seem so overpowered. If qan makes the leech from 15% per level to 5%, then lanc should at least get something else, maybe a 5 second longer bloom (which is shit at the moment)
The most annoying thing for me is the schedule, I cant keep up with other players, and i have nothing to do but wait for a week for the next host I'll be able to play. Can someone explain to me why the 24/7 2 hour limit wouldn't work?

[jngy slate]

I THINK CARBONPHOENIX HAS BLUE EMPS NOW. ALTHO I SAW HIM USING L2S THIS MORNING. O.o TBH, LANCS DO NOT KILL ME THAT MUCH, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE ONLY 2, MAYBE 3 THAT REGULARLY PLAY. BUT I HAVE NOTICED THAT OTHER COMRADES DO HAVE TROUBLE DEALING WITH THEM. THAT'S WHY I AGREE WITH NOBBI ON REDUCING IT TO 10%, NOT 5. I STILL THINK WEASELS ARE OVERPOWERED.

AS FOR THE SCHEDULE, I ALSO HATE IT. IT INTERFERES WITH MY SCHOOL AND SOCIAL LIFE. I HAVE CLASS RIGHT BEFORE THE MORNING SESSION, SO I OFTEN MISS FROM 30 TO 60 MINUTES. AND I OFTEN MISS THE FIRST HALF HOUR OF THE 2ND SESSION FOR OTHER REASONS. I'M BARELY KEEPING UP.

NERD RAGE!!!!!!

p.s: Please keep your promise. Don't pull a TagMor and promise to leave but come back a week later.

[Stabwound]

Also:

Using OPs abilities to annoy or kill your own teammates is now against the rules. Please report any such abuse to Stabwound or any Distension staff member.

There have only been a few people complaining about this happening but it may as well be a rule to stop it from happening in the future.

First of all this will be my last post in this thread so no need for the "stop whining" shit. I wont read it.

To conclude, I have had enough of the bullshit surrounding this game and am done with it. Just as it gets back on track, Stabwound starts abusing his power for whatever personal reasons.
It's pretty childish and basically there are other games/aspects of Tw where I dont have to deal with such bullshit.

I know the common attitude is that I whine and wont be missed, however people accepting such bias and abuse from the Mod is retarded and will only do bad things for the game.
gl to you all.

oh noes the big baby has had enough

maybe he'll find a conspiracy in something else~
(white out) dibs on betting that won't be his last post here(/white out)

2 pages and less than 100 posts later, guess who shows up again~
