I was going to post in this thread, but I have come to realize that my belief in what a proper and realistic D2 Campaign is not shared by anyone else but me.

Maybe it's time for a change.


Oooohh and here's an idea.... why not keep it to yourself and don't say anything about the idea...
That way people are sure to come around and we'll have all of the servers set up how you want.

Or, if you don't think that would work you could type something out, post a link, basically put forth an argument for what
you think would make a good server and see if anyone picks up on it.

Really the choice is yours, I've always believed in keeping my thoughts to myself though, so I'd go with option one..

Wow, Hexx, thanks for the thoughtful, compassionate, non-sarcastic friendly response to my post.

You're right, with this type of support, what am I thinking ?

 :lame:

With the lame original post what were you expecting?

2000 people to log on and start a " tell us what you want Frey" petition?
I freely admit you guys have a lot of work to do to keep this place around for us to post on, but
if you have an idea.. why not do what everyone else does..
post it?

Or you could stick to your psychically acquired knowledge, realizing the universal truth that everyone already knows
what your idea is and has rejected it..

Either way...

Lame..post...

LAME POST ?

You want a fraking lame post, here it is FurBoy:

Take your suggestions and shove them. I've had it with the absolute LACK of respect or civility in these forums. OMFG, what did I do but say what I thought, posted what I perceive to be a fact. HELL, you should have seen what I was GOING TO POST. But once again, I choose to take the high road, and tried to come up with something that would say what I wanted it to say without being sh*tty. And look what it got me.

YOU, on the other hand, took what I said and applied YOUR BS PERSPECTIVE to it, and thus what did you accomplish?

NOTHING. NOT A FRAKKING THING EXCEPT PISSING ME OFF.

I've really had it up to here with all you fokkers who want to bitch, complain, moan or cry about ANYTHING YET YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING TO SUPPORT IT.

WTF do you REALLY do Hexx besides post? When have you EVER stepped up and actually supported anything to do with D.Net?

You frakking guy, I've had it with the egos, attitudes, and just plain FRAKKING DISRESPECT on this board.

This isn't worth it anymore.


Total overreaction frey.

Are we supposed to be mind readers as to what your idea is?

Hexxypoos made a purrfectly valid point, and you've jumped all over him. I agree with his view of your initial post.

Post deleted

-While I do- and I want to make this clear- respect and thank all the Admins, and especially Frey for the work
they do so that we can have a place to plan and chat,as well as for all the work they do behind the scenes so we can
actually still play the game

And .. I actually have written anothe paragraph here about 6 times, and deleted it the same number
Frey- you've done alot- far more than I- for the community I- and I think everyone here appreciates what
you've done.

But how do you want people to react to a post that says " No one likes what I want to do" and gives absolutely nothing
to indicate what you'd like to see?


Anyways that's it that's all

Moving on.

Knowing everyones location has never before been tried in a campaign.  How about we try it for the first 7 days and then turn it off until there is a concensus based on actual experience?

IMHO it's simply unnecessary, there are simply to many things that can or may hurt casual players as opposed
to the PVPers.
If you want to kill one of your buds, just call them out
I know anytime I say I'm looking for a PVP fight there's usually 5-10 responses in a few seconds

here's a silly question, could you only report people in a hex touching a base or planet?

Isn't it actually possible to see a person hex position in SFC3?  Such a long time since I have played it that I can't remember.  I sort of remember there being more info on a player clicking on his name in the player list.

If so, player position info would not be without precedent, and if so, I don't think it has caused anyone in SFC3 to spontaneously combust, if that is the concern here.

I think you can, of course i thik you can also fleet and join a fight in progress (?)
-someoe told me you can, don;t know if he was joking or not.

It really doesn't matter (imo) I fly for the PVP so I assume I'd get hit more.
Just think we have more peeps than SFC3 that don't like PVP, would be a bit harder on them

That is silly, if forces are attacked, you know about it.

You would know they were attacked and by what only if they escaped and reported or if the log bouy was recovered.  If they were destroyed and the log bouy eliminated they would be known to be missing in action but the size and composition of the force would remain a mystery.

Utter-BS.   If a patrol doesn't check in, you know something happened.

And subspace anomolies are ALWAYS cloaked ships :P

Umm DH I did say that "they would be known as missing in action", the various starfleets just wouldn't know if they got ambushed by one ship or a fleet, and they certainly wouldn't know which ships.  The news reports in this vain, telling you a hex was attacked, thats about all the info that would be available unless the attackers were unsucessful.

Note to Frey:

Dude I think you did over react a bit.  Hex was just being his normal smartass self, a characteristic that is enjoyed by many on these forums.

If you do have any ideas, I think most of the players here would be thankful if you shared them, they might not agree with them, but they would definately be food for thought, especially coming from one of the most, if not THE MOST respected member of our community.  I think Hex was basically saying that if you want to get people interested in an idea, you have to tell them the idea first, just be ready for everyone not to agree.  It has been my experience that very few ideas are liked by all, yet many idea that don't make it into a campaign do lead to other ideas or modified versions that do make it in.  Your ideal idea may or may not make it, but it will likely result in something a little closer to your heart than what we have now if you share your thoughts. 

I wont think any less of you if you choose not to share Frey, you already have my utmost repest for all that you do for this community and I don't think anything can change that.  Am I curious as to what you envision, you betcha I am, but if you choose not to share out of concern for the tone of the response I can respect that.  I ask that everyone else here do the same and respect Frey's decision whether or not to share his thoughts.  The man deserves it for all he has done for all of us.

Ya, that is old news. Most of that stuff has been a goal for SGODev for ages. Cool thing is that SG servers push the envelope each incarnation and get more innovative and offer cooler better stuff.

Great minds think alike.   ;D

Not really, as this is the first time I saw that post, can't remember what you never saw  :P

Some pretty cool ideas in that post, I particularly like the general idea presented on resource control, although the part where OOB is mentioned makes my whiskers twitch in anxiety.  Still, it might be plausible, just have to see a little more detail before forming any real opinion on it.

Overall I have to say I really like the post as it tends to be quite visionary.

I'm pretty much in the same camp as Chutt is. The only thing that makes me a little nervous is the OOB. But then what the heck I only fly CLs ;D

As for Frey having a word or two to Hexx. Eh We all Vent every once in awhile.... I mostly Vent on TS ;D
