    No, I wouldn't be. Because on the raids I've been on, that is what they do. So I'm following the league and doing what they do. You watch the Request channel and there are instructions for what to do on it. So you do what those instructions say and you are not hindering anything.

     

    This part I agree with.

     

    And this part is what concerns me.

     

    I don't have any problems with that. That is why I stayed out of this thread until now. The issue I have is with:

    Because I know a person that to the best of my knowledge did nothing wrong but got blacklisted because of a personal matter between her and the league leader, you are asking them to try and make a league in competition with an established one that others will prefer to go to for being known, and treats players like they are automatically bad because they aren't in the league itself for the raid. So yes, I'm willing to toss more work at our volunteer GMs because it is part of the job description to look into these matters and deal with it. (Edit: And if it is hidden buds that are the problem, then have the buds added to the map. The raids I've been on, there was routinely a person sweeping the zone for buds. Alleviating that need or making their task simpler I can get behind.)

     

    I wasn't against it until that post I quoted. I didn't care if an instanced Hami was made. See my reasoning above.

     

     


    But you are not hearing any instructions, directions, or tips put into league chat.

    The fact you have an issue with a league event not being able to be joined as a solo player is a bit odd, you wouldn't expect that from most other content would you? Imagine doing an incarnate trial and not being able to fill the league because some people wanted to join it solo 🙂

     

    I can not speak to the nature of the person you know, but the only person banned from the league I run is due to him stalking and creeping on multiple girls (And yes he has been reported and we have been advised to put him on ignore, which we have but he still comes to the zone to reap the benefits of the league (Which he proudly announces each time))

    And to your last point about server elitism, this suggestion and feedback sub forum doesn't just belong to players who play on Excelsior, it belongs to all players. If I want to talk about the benefits of playing on Indomitable, I can do so.


    That is fine, but this is a suggestion to fix an issue you do not have on indom 🙂 It is a suggestion to fix the issue on Excelsior and possibly Everlasting.

    Thank you for your good will. I also say this as nicely as possible - sharing my experience on Indomitable helps players who are experiencing the problem described in the original post. And it helps inform players of the benefits of playing on Indomitable. It is helpful and I am happy to share.


    My toon, my SG, and my friends are all on Excelsior, it is unreasonable to expect me to leave all of that just to run an event on time. What you are suggesting is great advice for newer players but not a solution to the problem 🙂

  4. I just want to say that it isn't a case of "Inviting only my friends" to the event, it is a case of inviting those who want to help the raid succeed by paying attention and doing what needs to be done (As different league leads/zones have different ways to do it) For instance @Rudra you mentioned about going in and hitting the mitos which isn't how I run my Hami raids so you would be hindering the raid by taking up a spot of someone following instructions in the league.

     

    League/team leads don't get to control the zone they are in, BUT they should be able to control the event they are running for everyone, as it's their job to make sure it is run successfully. Hence the instanced version, same as every other huge league event that I can think of in game (Except the random invasions), allows the league leader to run the event better for all who want to attend 🙂

     

    The suggestion will benefit everyone except for people who: Want to join the event but solo, or people who are banned (Which the league leader is allowed to do as per GMs wording). Just trying to throw in a suggestion to help keep the game thriving ❤️

    TBH, I don't find the problem to be the league leaders giving too many or not enough instructions, but people flooding the chat with in-jokes, puns, or other gibberish that should instead be thrown to broadcast or maybe private channels.  To your point about it being "unintentional griefing", my only issue there is that, IMO, "griefing" requires an intentional/deliberate attempt to undermine or otherwise harass others - so if you're just in the zone to get a hit in and earn your merits or HO, but not intentionally and knowingly working against the league, then you aren't griefing.  Was it ever outright stated that said league "owns" the event, anyway?  Of course, the ability to restrict who can or cannot participate may be the real reason this is being requested...


    I don't want to delve the comments into discussions about what is or isn't hurting the league.

    But coming from someone who has been running multiple events for years I can assure you, not joining the league and listening to the instructions given is a hinderance and the instanced version would allow league leaders to make it a better raid for the people who actually want to help the event succeed. It would also allow us to start it when we are ready, without us having to arrive an hour early and sit in the zone just to make sure we don't get locked out.

    want to deal with all the gabbing and nonsense that goes on the in league channel


    This is part of the problem, the league chat tends to be filled with instructions to make sure it is a successful run, the less people listening the more likely everyone fails. To me it is a form of unintentional griefing not listening to the league leads instructions, like joining a trial run and doing your own thing, and although people do not listen all the time in league, at least I know the CAN listen 🙂

    Have you asked them if they are?...

    Not going to touch the bannable portion of your response.

     


    You are the one who mentioned they might be dual boxing? And I have reported a multitude of them to the GMs to sort out yes.

    Has this reached the level of a full blown crisis?


    Random groups of "leachers" sneaking into a zone or via smuggler's sub...
    These "leachers" :

    • do not want to be part of the league
    • do not follow rules
    • do not work for the rewards
    • take more than thier fair share of the rewards (steal, as was mentioned).
    • hide
    • basically "ruin it for everyone else."

    My questions at this point are:  

    • Where is the council in all this?
    • Has the council visited this zone?... or sent a GM representative to view for themselves?
    • Has the league leader employed an SG security team at the "zone entrance."
    • Have the "leachers" been caught in the act?
    • Have the "leachers" been reported?... or just ignored?
    • Do the "leachers" keep finding their way back to zone some other way?
       


    Not a crisis but annoying for people leading stuff within the game, which is helping keep the game alive.

    "Where is the council in all this?"
    No idea what you are asking here? 😄

    "Has the council visited this zone?... or sent a GM representative to view for themselves?"
    Again not sure what you are asking here? But GMs have visited the zone and seen it first hand but I am not expecting a GM to turn up to every event ran.

    "Has the league leader employed an SG security team at the "zone entrance.""
    What on earth is some SG member standing at the door going to do XD Write down every name who enters the zone? People get there over an hour early so you expect them to be stood there marking down everyone who comes in?

     

    "Have the "leachers" been caught in the act?"

    Yes

    "Have the "leachers" been reported?... or just ignored?"
    Reported when found, but I am not going to search the entire zone to find the handful of people on hidden refusing to help out.

     

    "Do the "leachers" keep finding their way back to zone some other way?"

    Yeah, the same way everyone else enters the zone?

     

    Hopefully that help clears up why a few people hindering the event for everyone else is an annoying problem to deal with daily, and helps make my suggestion a bit more clear ❤️ Though if you have any more questions please do ask and I will do my best to help clear up the confusion 🙂

    Understood.

    I'm trying to see your points on this suggestion.

     

    Just that I do not agree with your categorization of a leecher.

    Suspect since they (the leachers) arrive early at the raid, that in reality the "leachers" are just "dual boxers."  (They have one toon on your league and another toon parked).

    Suggest the "issue of leeching" that you are writing of is not an issue at all as you describe.... it's just "dual -boxing."

     

    If too many folks are wanting "hami".... turn "hami" up a few difficulty notches...

    Because a few students are not listening in class.... and above...

    re-writing game code for a hami raid is not needed imho.

     

     


    If they are dual boxing that is even worse? Not to mention bannable if caught by the GM lol.

    And that solution will just make it so the leechers ruin it for everyone else? Why should the league of people doing what needs to be done be punished because someone wants to leech the event?

    • What is a leacher?... just someone who refuses to join your league?
    • Is it a "leacher" that is hiding buds around the zone.... for sure?  Or is it merely powers with knockback causing this? 
    • Never heard of this 'hiding buds' thing before.  (Usually had some volunteers scan the bowl after a round to make sure all clear).


    There are two kinds of leacher that I can think of atm:

    1 - Someone who refuses to join the league, doesn't help to spawn Hami, doesn't buff up the league, runs in to get a few hits whilst not helping much.
    2 - Someone who does join the league, but just has auto tp on and auto PBAOE attack going, and since we teleport people to Hami to make it easier it allows them to AFK get credit. I can kick them from said league however now they just take up a spot in the zone for someone who will actually help.

    With the hiding buds it tends to be the number 1 leechers who don't listen when told to stay in the middle, so run off to their log out spot on the cliffs, causing a bud to spawn there whilst they log off (This has been visually confirmed multiple times)

  11. I made this request a long while ago but didn't hear anything from it so I am making it again in hopes to get an answer on if it is possible or not.

    An instanced Hamidon raid in either Abyss or Hive but make it so both Heroes and Villains can join, at the moment I have found a lot of people are afking in the zone an HOUR before the raid is meant to happen so the people actually running have to either get there early before it fills or deal with the hassle of forming again in the second zone and dealing with dozens of tells saying "Here in Abyss and no one else here!"

    You also have the issue with leachers, there are now a handful of people who refuse to join the league and run in for a few hits, preventing people actually wanting to join the league from entering and can hide buds around the zone preventing him from popping again.

    Especially with the boom in players since the official announcement there is a huge demand for Hami raids (To the point we run them side by side a few days a week)

  14. It would be nice if we could get placeable pylons and dummies inside SG bases so we don't need to use the public ones in RWZ and put them in pretty areas.

     

    I know people who have done the hard fight in Aeon have a summonable dummy, but that is on a cooldown and it works differently then the testing pylons, some pets won't attack dummies but they will attack pylons.

    amazing thanks!!!

    one more question, 

    /bind lshift+lbutton "powexec_location cursor White Dwarf Step"

     i can't bind this for some reason. everything else worked. is this suppose to be left shit and then mouse click?


    So you hold down left shift and the click with your left mouse button whilst in dwarf form to tp ❤️ 

  17. Just now, Vargul said:

    if you had to remove invis and teleportation, what would you replace it with? and how dependent is the build on those two? thank in advance!! awesome stuff


    Invis I use for LOTG procs ❤️ I don't actually use it in combat so I would swap it for maybe Leadership for Manoeuvres and Vengeance, plus Victory rush is a lovely power imo 😄 Teleportation is the last power pool I would remove due to the speed of teleport, the helpfullness of Teleport target, the in combat use of Combat TP, and fold space is like a drug!

    But the build would need something to slot the LOTG into to maintain the perma light form 🙂
