" I usually don't comment on specific cases, but I'll make an exception this time (based on Noggins replies, I take he won't mind) - but Noggin is once again welcome to the virtual universe."


:D Power To The Peeps!
 
lets hope they now look into editing the description on the chips and make it clear to everyone where the chip can and cannot go.

Yeah, thats great. :D
I would like to know "why"? Was it a fault by MA to bann him? Was is the massive protest of other players in the forum? Or does "banned" mean you are out for 7 days?
And btw., what means "once again welcome to the game"... ehm, virtual universe? Was he banned before?

;)
 
I figure if he mastered mindforce, and the wormhole chip, he should be allowed to tele ANYWHERE! After all it is a wormhole, and wormholes are supposed to be gateways to other places FAR away. think about it from Carl Sagans view :p
 
WELCOME BACK NOGGIN!!!!

Not to spoil the joy. But what does annoy me is, that MA is not telling anything about what went wrong here. And what will be done in future? Did they "release" Noggin because of the pressure from the community only? Or...

And not to be a dung spreader :rolleyes: ... but what is next?

Nevertheless ... Personally I take this as a bad excuse from MA that they dealed with this situation the wrong way - and I hope the person(s) responsible for this will be "taken good care off".

BUT still, happy for you Noggin ;)
 
welcome back ;-) we all were missin' some pimp on PE :laugh:
 
Welcome back Noggs, brave man dressed in pink! :)

I saw the thread about the locking this morning......I will abstain from commenting it but I will say this: Wormholes should take one everywhere ...even back to Earth!

Welcome back again I say!

Sharyn.
 
I think its between MA and Noggin and not really our buisness.
what is our buisness though is the chips.

Rather than spend ages investigating the bug and removing it, I would like to see them keep the chips as they are but possibly limit the number of people that can use the opened wormhole to 2 or 3, something in line with ship restrictions.

You then have 2 legitimate methods of getting to space without having to add more hangers/ships etc - this would be a really good gesture by MA to neverdie and also solve transport problems.
 
I'm just happy that they have allow to noggin returned to "our" funny world :) Welcome Back buddy :dunce:

Not that I know better, but didn't MA create the Wormhole chip? Why did the programmer guys implement CND as an option too? And at the same time why don't they disable it?

Bugs here, bugs there.....evrywhere bugs, bugs.....I think you should've made your mind since the beginning (not you Marco, but the guys in charge)

My :twocents:

PS: Although I quoted you Marco (you're MA's representative here) my fuss is with the creative-logistics-programming ppl....

You coud have at least invented a story with the asteroid`s gravity or smth prevented "wormholing" there :girl:

Anyways, A+ for the prompt reply and for gettin` Nog back to us :D
 
welcome back nogs

Good! :dance:

Now, I trust the entire community will be informed of this by posting it on the Official PE site, right? :cool:

Sorry, but why dont your programmers then do some code like "if wormhole_origin or wormhole_destination = CND then dont_function"?

:confused:

Shouldn't CND be as easy to get to as any other part of the world?

At present the whole community has to rely on people that own a ship and then pay to get there. Problems with this setup are that its a huge bottleneck, what if no pilots were to log in for 3 weeks?
People generally want to spend their money on something that has a chance of them earning money/items rather than transport.

The number of PW chips in-game isn't large and neither is the amount of people that can use them.

Another option would be to make a personal space teleport chip that could be only looted at CND and has the same workings as a tp chip (instead of the animation showing someone running forward and then disappearing it could show them shooting upwards).
 
ALWAYS remember - DONT SHOOT THE MESSENGER (unless you meet him somewere in PVP3 of course :D)

Thanks for the respons Marco. We all know you are not responsible for this - but I really DO hope that your management somehow take care of all the bug-issues which is making this game less joyfull for the huge numbers of players you have. Things like this are really bad rep not only for the game but also for MA. That is SUCH a shame, when having a fantastic product and idea - and remember, the thing is, we all just want the game to functioning so we can play without annoyance and frustrations.

;)

if that statement was made in a special part of the client loader when MA was aware about that bug ( like 1 week after cnd was open) , MA could ban player that use it ...

without a official statement in an official way , i do not think it will be see nicely from the comunauty to ban a player for what ever he have done (beside scaming other player , but i am not worry for scammer here).
 
Nogg back :)
yay we did it members of EF! :)

So fix YOUR bug, Don't lock ppl who use bug, work a bit for one time :cool:
Money money you have just that in your head ?


Welcome back noggin

Welcome back noggin

its true that they should fix them if they know about it, but you cant just say "if you dont fix it i will use it"...

well now we know what's the deal ;)

WELCOME BACK NOGGIN :cool:

There is still alot of bug you should imediatly fix MA, in this way no one will get locked anymore, the fight isn't finished :D
 
While, on a level, I understand the restriction of the use of Wormholes, even though, there are soo few and fewer still people who can actually use them effectively, I disagree on another to their restriction. I also find it absolutely disgraceful that someones account is immediately locked for the activity instead of a polite warning about the actions made. It's actions like this that make us 'customers' feel unsafe about our 'investments.'

However, while the idea is to keep revenue for spacecraft owners, something needs to be done about this whole setup, imo.

I love going up to CND, I like to mine there, occasionally I like to hunt, but to be perfectly honest, loots have sucked for me, but hey that's 'dynamic'.

What I hate is having to wait around for hours on end for a ride to and from the place. I hate having no means to store items, short of buying a rather pricey apartment (when compared to apartments planetside.) Couldn't we implement a payable storage box so that for a small fee, people can use storage services?

Currently, while Neverdie obviously knows better than myself on this, it never looks busy and therefore it begs the question, is Neverdie's investment working for him right now? It's all good and well to say 'in the future...' but at the moment, the not so well off players that want to experience Club Neverdie are put off by transport costs, storage restriction and difficulties in returning to the planet after making a visit.

I would hope something is in the pipeline for this, as I can see full well that CND has wonderful potential, but what use is a shopping mall that people are put off visiting due to the reasons stated previously? It would perhaps be better for this particular feature to show much more transparency in whatis happening, so as to keep peoples interest up in visiting CND on a regular basis, as currently from a personal point of view, the only reason I go up there is to skill mining, all the other activities/sights are an extra to the trip.

Please feel free to counter any assumptions I have made as I don't want to be the purveyor or falsehoods.
 
Wonderful, thanks for the warm welcome back guys! Good to be 'free' again :D ROFL

In case you're interested to know, here's the response I got from support upon unlocking my account:

Hi,
OK. We will now release your account. We thank you for the cooperation in this matter and hope that you will think twice before using an exploit without reporting it in the future.
Regards,
PE Support

Yes, I consider myself told-off, I'm a real naughty boy, I won't do it again sir :)

Luckily I'm used to being talked to like a 5 year old, so I didn't take any offence to this. :trout:

Never mind being banned for 7 days, which to be quite honest is considered a severe punishment for the worst of scammers within PE.

Anyway, I'm glad this unfortunate episode is over, and I would really like to thank everyone, including Marco for their support in this matter. It's something I didn't really want to publicise, but on my 7th day of "jail" I figured it was time to act... and it seemed that I really didn't need to do much work, as all my good friends in PE took it into their own hands.

Really means a lot guys.. :king: :naughty:

Welcome back mate! This was good news to wake up to!

Not that I woke up at 1.30pm or anything :silly2:

You're obliged to be online tonight btw mate for the Welcome back Noggin nakey beacon run :)
 
Welcome back :)

I know its VR but a wormhole should go anywhere, maybe include some type of long distance tax - yea we know that hanger owners might be pissed but hell what about us MF users? :rolleyes: hangers were rather pointless before cND now how about that MF update we've been waiting for to make MF stuff usefull? about time I think ;)

MA made a bad decision, but they are not going to get into it. They will go on till it blows over.

HAPPY HAPPY! JOY JOY!:banana:


Time to focus on the Scammers!!!
