sick bastard

Can confirm.

I used to argue stuff with opinions only to have people counter that with opposing opinions. Very irritating.

With alts I don't have to deal with opinions, I can just point and tell.

In public, yes. There are other options for those who wish to resolve misunderstandings.

Not ever was a 'nay-sayer' banned, it takes A LOT more than disagreeing to finally get a forum ban.

If you do a search for 'deleted' you'll find many fully visible posts that contain that weird statement.

Well what if you join miles away? Are you expected to sail for 1h just to try to catch up. There is no mean to see what is happening inside the instance unless you know someone already inside.

I think this is why we haven't tried timer based join distances. At best it's a borderline fake feature that has the potential for excessive amounts of frustration. 

(I'd like it since it adheres to WYSIWYG)

Ha i gotta get my old computer from the basement and run it up

There might be some old chatlogs from way back 2016 on it

Ye, it's a reminder of how long it's been since I built mine and have had it running without even a single OS clean re-install. Yay, win10, I used to do it at least once a year with the older versions out of desperate necessity.

[Changing nation at relese?]

Yes.

Remember you can always completely wipe your character and change nation or keep your character and change nation with DLC.

I feel like hoping and waiting is not enough. I can understand your game engine is a bit difficult to programe, wish it was easier, so you could keep adding  small nice additions easly, cause these small things are good content and will help the game to get higher ratings.

I'd say they 've tested, removed and added eco and crafting stuff since 2016 with only a few sideshows into combat mechanics. From where I sit it looks like it's never enough for eco guys, and I don't mean that as damning critique, there's just always something else someone wants.

At some point you have to go into feature-freeze and work towards release and we're at that point now.

Going in groups of multiple nations sure is a special case, but still.

We can always go back to 2 min timers or try render range instance joining...

[A blast from the past]

I stumbled upon an old chat-log in the steam folder where my first OW fight was recorded.

[2015-May-12 20:46:09.953380] jodgi: hi buddy
[2015-May-12 21:06:26.661662] Tief N Tote: good fight sir
[2015-May-12 21:06:43.935791] Jaeger: here comes the cavalry
[2015-May-12 21:07:10.768246] Jaeger: time for swedes to run
[2015-May-12 21:07:33.139671] Tief N Tote: i'm done no cannon left
[2015-May-12 21:07:42.470086] Jaeger: come towards us
[2015-May-12 21:08:10.399197] Tief N Tote: can't see ya
[2015-May-12 21:08:20.864258] Jaeger: hear our guns m8
[2015-May-12 21:11:33.976477] jodgi: sorry, tief, just want those xp's ;)
[2015-May-12 21:11:54.895393] Jaeger: aaah! how annoying to spawn so far away
[2015-May-12 21:47:16.250025] Psico Avalanche: Welcome
[2015-May-12 21:47:26.278926] Jaeger:  thanks :)
[2015-May-12 21:49:40.875106] jodgi: where did tief go to, earlier, Jeager?
[2015-May-12 21:49:53.884798] Jaeger:  no idea.
[2015-May-12 21:50:05.449489] Jaeger: to us it looked like u both went away
[2015-May-12 21:50:25.063338] jodgi: he just went poof, right in front of me
[2015-May-12 21:50:54.009422] Jaeger: the "coward exploit? " or bug perhaps
[2015-May-12 21:51:00.423479] jodgi: anyway, Cerb and all I'm out
[2015-May-12 21:51:11.157580] Dom: Get back here!
[2015-May-12 21:51:35.554682] jodgi: if would, if I didn't lose the little XP I collected

I tagged @Tief N Tote and we had a fight in lynxes or cutters, then the Swedish cavalry came barreling down on me to save Tief. I didn't understand much. I don't remember why I said the "lose xp" thing, was it a thing then or did I just not understand?

This bit also cheered me up

Yeah. Once and for all cut out the cancer of 'Alts'. They feel so secure they even boast about having "eight accounts" on this forum.

Metastasis now even found to spread on PvE peace server (sic!), though still not to that terrible degree as on war server.

I'd love for alts to be completely useless or "illegal" and it being possible to enforce clean single account play. But that is an extremely naîve dream.

It is a bit weird to watch sandbox players wishing for the impossible. Sandboxes are by design set up for alt-play, it's like you've never been near other alt-infested sandbox games.

I guess the bitterness derives by the fact that the perception of a part of the community is that satire in this game is allowed and widely used just on one side of the discussion, while on the other side censorship strikes hard as soon as some irony shows up.

Some of my stuff gets hidden as well.

Mission from god. Are we there at a toxic level towards other players, ore just in the green?

Sigh... Oh, please!

Satire is a tool that can lighten up a discussion. I do it a lot, but it's not always the best idea.

You may turn the satire on me all you like, It's not a one-way street. Just leave forced big words like "toxicity" out... please?
