You ought to read the rules before you start insulting someone
Almost everyone on your OT insults someone at some points. In fact if you were trustworthy/not dishonest I'd bet $20 right now that there's at least 50 insults sent from a player to another players on your OT either over Default or PM every single day that your server has been up for at least 20 out of 24 hours and at least 50 players has been online for at least 3 minutes total of that day.
You claim to only have been banning 2 players for insulting in the past. There's something that's not quite adding up here...
especially if you insult the one who can ban you for it.
Do I look psychic? You weren't on your GM, you were playing on a regular char.
You kept insulting me even though I told you not to, that's almost the same thing as asking to be banned.
No I didn't. I ask for the third time: quote me insulting you after you told me not to insult you threateningly.
Better yet, considering you've proven yourself not to be trustworthy: share the log/cam.
We can go on talking about irrelevant stuff about our past/future/real life/skill ingame, or actually, I'll stop replying to you
Right, so you consider how you treat your playerbase and the actual facts about what happens on your OT irrelevant.
Donators, grab your pens and notebooks.
Can I reach you there with MSF? Just wondering Kappa
Editting the original game by allowing infinite number of summons and introducing aimbot because people think UE is fun is a bad comparisson of logics, since UE is actually PART OF THE GAME and cheating isn't.
1. Realistic-war is heavily edited/very different from vanilla Tibia.
2. On what planet are you from where Tibia players never cheated? Cheating was a huge part of the game. It wasn't legal, but neither was saying the word "fuck" in game-chat or create names like "Asdasdasd". Why is that allowed on realistic-war?
The game has it's features and as long at people stick to what's possible and not considered cheating or bug abuse, there really is nothing to whine about unless you want to waste your time.
World's most common and most stupid argument made throughout history.
"Let's never change anything, let's always stay the same, stop whining, herp derp".
Why does realistic-war have soul points for spellcasting?
Pay attention.
I agree that UE isn't the funniest part of the game, but it's been there for years and it's nothing new or drastic.
It's been nerfed, altered and even removed on a billion* OTs.
* Use brain, realize as much: not a literal number
Try to see it from another angle, whenever I face a big team, cheaters or people who use UE I try to develop certain parts of my gameplay that specific situation presents.
So: When the world needs change, change yourself, not the world. Excellent.
But if you think that way, who are you to take away THEIR fun if they think UEing IS fun?
You didn't get the point. I didn't say remove UE, I basically said one could theoretically implement the feature that players decide the rules of what "class" of players they will fight against, where the hard rules of a class is what abilities/spells, even what runes are allowed to be used, and the classes would fight among themselves (their own class).
The problem would be that the greater the number of classes, the more people you get that can't attack each other (because they're of different classes).
It was just an experimental idea. I provided alternative solutions which I think are more viable.
I assume you don't join a football game and complain about the other team using quick short-passes because it ruins your fun.
Football and other sport games has
judges or
referees for a reason. Tibia does not. There's a million* forms of foul play in most sport games - that's why a judge is needed.
* Still not a literal number
And about AFK-kills, sure I don't like them either. In fact I'm one of those who leaves AFKers alone
Good. So you have some sense of morality.
I might show them a hint of my despice but that's it since I also know that I was the one stupid enough to leave the computer on a server where people are supposed to kill you, and that I have myself to blame.
This is only a problem under your philosophy that when the world needs change, change yourself, not the world.
As long as you follow that philosophy, you're always going to blame yourself for everything senselessly.
At least they're doing what they can to decrease the use of say UE since you start at level 30 and need to reach and maintain level 34 in order to use it to any extent, which by then consumes almost all your mana.
I agree, which (all of the steps they're taking; I've mentioned others before like soulpoints for aggressive spells) is why I mostly like the server.
Just because something's somewhat good doesn't mean nothing needs to change.
If hunger is removed from 90% of the world, are you gonna say "fuck the last 10%, we're good enough now"?
Also, you can avoid dying in spams by using manashield or switching back and forth between time ring and energy ring
Not when 6 people are targetting you with sds and the 7th is UEing.
or even play a knight or a paladin.
That wouldn't help either.
The point is that the server offers options to counter most/all features.
Yes in a very limited scope. No in the grander scope.
That is in my opinion a well-balanced server that needs no further editting, save for smaller things.
Oki.
Sorry, I'm not gonna read the last part, you've written too many large and often repetitive paragraphs in one post.
Thanks for your thoughts I guess, and thanks for keeping it pretty friendly.
Inb4: No, I don't both write large and many paragraphs in one post, I keep them either in small sizes or in few numbers per post, and I certainly don't repeat myself unless I'm responding to someone that's repeating themselves and we haven't managed escaped this vicious unproductive loop yet.
Edit: I decided to read some of the end of your (
@hsaN)'s post after all and decided to me this part was actually the best part of your post and that I'd like to respond to it after all..
I see it this way, if the possibility to team up in larger teams, UE or whatever the problem is results in more players joining this server then I'm just glad and can certainly look past my personal opinions about UEing etc. We need the players to keep the server alive and it feels like a small sacrifice to die in a UE every once in a while if it means the server grows or maintains it's player base. I highly doubt that the amount of players that leave this server because of UE, mort hur and teamplay is greater than the amount that join the server with those possibilities.
This is actually a good argument I'm not sure I'm able to counter.
It's a good point, assuming it's true, which we don't know, but it seems plausible.
It still begs the question whether it's worth it, what the actual numbers are, etc, but it's a good theoretical argument.
Not all people are very skilled and they might need to use spells or team up to have their fun. So why don't you just respect what they think is fun and perfectly legal at the same time?
I addressed this earlier. I try to respect these players - I know we're all different, different skillsets, etc.
These people only triggers me when the rest of the community is pretty toxic, when most of the players are rude/arrogant/overly proud/talk down to everyone else that they kill, etc.
And I justify my own hostility towards other people on OTs (when the OT environment is itself hostile) on the premise that if I happen to either outright flame or criticize someone "good and reasonable", their goodness/reasonableness will be detectable by the way they respond over time, and then I change my attitude and hostility towards them accordingly. And this seems to me to be working most of the time.
I also think the aim in PvP is to be skilled. Seriously, it's kinda what separates PvP from RPG, other than the loot. RPG is slow paced, usually relaxed, grinding, etc, PvP is high-paced action, split-second decisions, etc.
So when someone runs around spamming e wave and nothing else like an RPG player (to complete the analogy: and hasn't learned to use the battle list) and expects to be respected, he should think again.
Such a player doesn't deserve ruthless flame. BUT if he's flamed or criticized a little and he responds with "hahahahahaha noob die easy puta madre hahahahahaha" then I think he deserves absolutely no respect. He's asked for it, and I'll give it to him.
You want them to respect your fun but that means they have to avoid using certain elements of the game
If by certain elements you mean killing afkers, using aimbot, being rude and arrogant, killing people 10 vs 1 WHILE being rude and arrogant, then YES. Those are the BAD parts of the game, the parts we should get rid of, not the ones to preserve.
Just a little tip for you, it might save you some time. You will never change people.
Please source this claim.
On this server we have players in all ages from many parts of the world and we're all different. Some are stupid, some don't take this seriously enough to care about your opinion and some might even find entertainment in mocking you and have you rage or whatever.
Here's a mixed bag of common opinion that I'm not exactly sure what's fact and what's fiction. I don't think you know either (despite any confidence one way or the other -- confidence != knowledge)
The best thing to do is just ignore them and do your own thing.
Please source this claim.
Unless you want to waste your time of course, then have at it.
Why is it a waste of time? Because your experience tells you you can't change people? Before airplanes everyone's experience was that we couldn't fly (except on drugs). Obviously their experience was misleading to the actual facts.
