So tonight I had a really frustrating experience in space I would like to share and warn others about.
I got up into space and started to leave Calypso station.
I see a green quad, is Kronan warp pilot, regular streamer.
Figure not a threat , as I went to his twitch channel in support a few times, and chatted without issues. Think he even owns a shop, so kind of silly to be out pirating.
So thats the one issue:
Common Kronan pilot in green quad killing his twitch viewers, cause shitainteasy or something.
I don't actually care about the kill, I was disappointed his skills sucked so bad I didn't even get some deep space knowledge gains.
But people should know if there are twitch streaming warp pilots and shop owners out being idiots in green quads.
The next issue....
The guy cant miss.
I literally have out strafed (4 directional) actual pilots 2 at a time from caly SS to planet and lived with over 1/2 health, I spent months in space, hunt there often, know what is normal and what is not. This guy you cannot out maneuver...which...we aren't dumb here...we all know how that targeting system is and should work.
Dunno for sure, don't care, seems abnormal.
So I am thinking some kind of aim bot....which I reported.
The next issue.....
I cant fire my laser to defend myself.
Self explanatory, not only at the time of the pirate kill (the only option was to try to bee-line for CP), but the whole flight back to Ark, went by a hunting area on the way over, and could not click fire, could not auto fire(did show the highlight in ammo window, and it did it over several servers, so was not lag...I left it in auto fire from hunting to ark, never fired.), and could not select use item from right click menu.
I only ever had this happen one time before that I can recall, and it was after a pirate came at me near caly as well.
So I am thinking I don't know...MA shit code again? Did the pirate do something to my ship? No clue, didn't work the whole time. And yes I checked, the laser is 23.08 tt left. and had the same amount of uni ammo as I left.
The last issue.....
MA making me feel even more like the idiot I already am.
The meaning of Forgo, is forgetting the t.
I have a severe brain injury, my memory was destroyed over 12 clinical deaths. I totally should have remembered when I left ark, to put the loot able pills back (about 315 ped worth) into the storage, since I brought them via warp to ark to sell in the first place.
But...I am an idiot and did not remember. I didn't even remember I left them on me to Caly until the buyer came asking back on Ark.
Its bad enough not remembering what your kids births were like or what they were like as a baby, or all of your life skills, let alone being reminded in a game that..... I most certainly forget shit, by direct punishment.
I don't blame the pirate as much as the system. Yes I am the idiot who forgot, this is nothing new, but the system is so illogically set up it is not only infuriating to me, but the people who were wanting to buy the pills, and the people in soc who despise this kind of activity, and anyone else who rightfully stands up and says this system is ridiculous.
So how about for some of the people in the world who struggle with memory, if we are even worth caring for:
A popup perhaps to let us know we actually have loot that can be taken.
So easy, an ability to abort the flight if need be by flying back to the SS and TP'ing back down, before its an issue.
The message
to Players: Be warned, some not so smart pirates in green quads that pilot warp ships and own shops , some not working lasers, and the same old we don't want you to know you have loot you forgot about trick.
And to wanna be pirates: Probably already noticed a few friends drop off, a bad reputation with sales in mind can really be a difficult time here. Your loss more than mine for sure, I buy lots of things every day, so do my friends.
Think again if it is worth one twitch follower lost, and whatever I might have bought from, or directly sold to you. You may be thinking 300 PED loot is awesome. That is only 15 minutes of hunting for me, and only a tiny fraction of my mayhem token stack, so its such a moot point its kind of funny. But on days I'm buying several k's of materials for craft, you will be sure I will avoid everything you sell.
to MA: Simple really....something less idiotic and infuriating on the player base as that design is. And some consideration for people with memory issues, most of us are getting into our senior years by now anyhow.
I do love this game and very much appreciate that it has given me the only outlet to attaining actual wealth with my issues and limited income *, but for the love of the loot gods, make it at least make sense.
Thanks for being there for my space rant
Game on.
*am just over 5 million PED equivalent in net worth equity gained in 2 homes from reinvested Entropia withdraws since starting in 2006 when my net worth was 0 and homeless without a past or a skill. Great market here, but would never have happened if I didn't have that cash out money in 2008 when everything was perfect to buy after the crash.
