Then escalations that we have no capacity to fight need to be removed until there are the capabilities in place to fight them.

Quote:

Who or what is Sensuo? Character name or company name?

SENSOU is a PvP company operating around the marchmont area with a known proclivity for ganking GolGothans.

They haven't actually ganked any Golgothans. Golgotha responded to a distress call from new players, and every time we show up they run away or die. The poor saps these guys are ganking are most likely new players or AFKers.

@Andius
You are a very disgruntled person.

I have to ask, do you remember the meeting you had with me when it wasn't Golgotha, but New Liberthane and the Order of the Crimson Knights?

Funny how things turn out.

This guy is so misinformed he makes The Onion look honest.

The next time I feel the need to pay attention to flies I will pay attention to your threat Atome.

You made me chuckle, when you evolve from a fly into mosquito I will grant you the mercy of a swift death.

I'm speechless

So my only question is:
Is that tower still in the hands of a settlement other then TF?

It flaws your logic though. If he was purposefully keeping his character from getting opportunity then why wouldn't he just make it so that he could never get opportunity again?

Furthermore, a major flaw in your logic is him creating a video.

You are using personal bias and drama to affect your judgement. He MUST be CHEATING.

And I could care less what debuffs pop up on the screen while I'm playing. My character has little control on effects that are on him. I have more control over the effects of my opponent.

People complain about something that is obviously out of his hands, but no one complains about "Naked Tower Grabs". In terms of which one is more exploitative and intentional we both know the answer. (And some of us are too kind of heart to post the videos to the internet for fear it will damage PFO further in the minds of the public)

"Naked Suicide Bombing" reputation.

I could go on and on about ways that people (in my videos and streams) have exploited a lack of mechanics to damage other parties.

Funny how I saw opportunity when people were actually fighting back

Actually I would say that without any concrete facts people are reaching for a personally satisfying answer.

Maybe instead of just healing yourself over and over you actually target him and hit him with weapons and spells?

This comes from me as a player and is the same thing I have said in my stream over and over.

I just want something more to do than log in and either:
A) Kill NpCs for recipes and salvage
B) Kill other players for the lolz
C) Train skills
D) Gather from nodes

There is a whole lot of boring grinding (Korean MMOs are jealous) with little to no sustenance.

Just give the game features. Anything really, just more of them. As it stands right now, this "sandbox" is missing almost all the sand. And it isn't the players faults, we brought the tools and brains for the challenge.

I will not speak for every Golgothan on how they want to see this game evolve and expand.

I am not nearly arrogant enough to say that I, nor any of my officers, can speak for every individual with absolute certainty on what they envision.

This isn't a settlement leader issue, this is a playerbase issue.

(Obviously this is an OOC comment. Because my character is more than arrogant enough)

Freevale is not a member of the Xeilias Empire. Are you trying to imply something?

Beware the baleful winds that ominously predict the walk of the dead. No living force will stop the march of the Golgothans.

Those that do not join the march will be consumed by it.

The title is Lord Regent.

I think the ability to use linguistic flair is playing heavily into everyone's description of the events and even further mucking up the situation.

The reality of the situation is that the Emerald Lodge sought to seek out towers it could take without risking everything. They did not "conquer" or "assault" the tower. Both of those words imply that the tower was owned by someone else beforehand.

If you would claim "neutrality" means forsaking all aspirations, then the understanding of neutrality is fundamentally flawed. Emerald Lodge will require enough towers to ensure its citizens can train. In order to be neutral they need to have worth and be a risky venture. Their worth is to the community as the main staging point for the Emerald Spire(That is, unless you would like to stage operations within Golgotha.).

Does everyone here think Switzerland and Sweden just accepted defeat from others? An invader into Switzerland will soon discover the entire country is little more than a giant bomb with soldiers on ever square inch of those mountains.

Every person here knows that every settlement needs a certain amount of towers in order to be successful, yet we would deny these facts in order to besmirch the nobility of the Emerald Lodge and their claims. We would claim that their "Neutrality" was compromised the moment they aspired to succeed as a settlement.

TL;DR
Why is this a big deal?

Support from the villains? Aggression from the Heroes?

This world makes little sense, but Golgotha guaranteed the independence of the Emerald Lodge long ago, and Golgothans do not break their word.

Attacking the Emerald Lodge forces. Man, I thought we were the evil guys.

The fact that we were able to generate content enough that others may now be interested in playing PFO is reward enough for me. That is my goal.

The difference between Golgotha and everyone else?
Our leadership will do whatever it takes, proactively and not in response, to ensure that everyone in our settlement has fun. We will do everything in our power to push the envelope of PFO in order to draw attention and publicity to this wonderful game.

But this isn't a recruitment thread. This is a thread inviting others to partake in my streaming endeavors in order to make PFO a recognizable entity.

So, some additional ideas:
I'm really liking the contest idea to offer EE or OE accounts for winners. I just have to think of something. This might help draw attention to PFO, people like free things :D

So tomorrow's highlight may be a discussion in AoEs.
I will attempt to explain the difference in the AoE types and which spells have reliability/etc...

Tune in to watch it live, or feel free to catch up after the highlight is posted to youtube.

TL;DR

I could say things like:
Oh you mean your counter attack that waited until nearly every Golgothan went offline?

But instead I'm just going to say:
I had fun, I know you guys did, and I know the Devs enjoyed watching.

Had alot of fun tonight, did some PvP and PvE and overall had a blast.
I made a Highlight reel of the Hammerfall raid and its going up on Youtube soon.

If you like stuff like this and little video guides please follow me on twitch at My Channel. If you want to watch some of the Youtube Videos, feel free to check them out.

Today's Raid on Hammerfall video:
Watch the fun

I'm currently streaming my Gatherer for a lack of anything to do :(

It appears everyone who enters Golgotha becomes DCed and is affected by the dreaded "Waiting for Character..."

Oh well, I can talk about one of the ideas I had.

I was thinking of doing a contest in my stream, where the winner gets an EE accounts (The bare package) or I could offer one of the OE accounts (has all the KS rewards)

Any ideas for the contest?

Well, I can login with my DT, but not with Deacon. So the next video may just be a simple gathering mission.

You should be able to log in again after the next hour on the clock, as long as you leave your account logged out.

I've given it plenty of time. It seems the hourly fix is not working for me.

So it is just character on Zombie Kitty Mountain?

Well, apparently my stream will be full of Waiting for Character... it is a most interesting encounter involving ...s

Awesome, I'm gonna do some Arena's on WoW, but after that I should be streaming some PFO :D

Well, I can login with my DT, but not with Deacon. So the next video may just be a simple gathering mission.

A slotted effect for the Necromancer Feature...and maybe a keyword or two....

Did the crafting explanation today.

What kind of stuff do you guys want put out there for youtube and twitch? I'd love to get a 50+ person event together to stream and put on youtube for some PFO exposure.

Saturday's escalation may be good, but I need something for the 8th.

Youtube

Uh oh, if escalation rates get amped up I may be forced to defend Golgotha from that ugly escalation on Zombie Kitty Mountain.

Saturday is a good day :D for an escalation run. Its a long run away but it should be interesting

Feel free to post what you would like to see me go over on my stream.

Unfortunately i missed the opportunity to record the epic fight atop Zombie Kitty Mountain. Streamed it, but I wasn't able to make a highlight reel for all the awesome we had going on.

Today's thing: Keywords
Youtube

or watch me live for the next explanation
Twitch

I'm thinking tomorrow will be a basic Crafting Explanation.

I also think it would be a great idea to get a big event going, maybe we could get some more groups running escalations and having fun.

So does this mean Andius is retiring?

I fully expect to see you in game after your surgery. Best of luck in the meantime.

Hmm good input, anyone else have any more ideas?

First, lets begin by defining the terms:
Semi-Persistent Buffs - Any beneficial effect that is cast once and the duration lasts over 1 hour or until cancelled.
Pet - A spell that conjures, raises, charms, or crafts an NpC(Non-playable character) that follows the PC (Player Character) around and follows basic commands.

Next, the reason for this thread.
The idea here is to brainstorm a solution that allows the play-styles eliminated by the current problems. And then present the format to Idea Scale

Conflict
1) Game Balance
2) Resource and Time investment
3) Play-Style Bias

Initial Ideas
Game Balance:
1) Power (Daily Resource) Investment - Once cast this expendable will not allow Power to Regen up its cost while the spell is maintained.
Ex: Bob casts the expendable Summon Animal Companion for 50 Power. Bob has a total of 100 Power before casting the spell. After Casting the spell Bob has an effective total of 50 Power until Bob dismisses or cancels the spell.
2) Additional Resource Cost - A Material Component is required in addition to a power expenditure to cast the expendable. This material component should be a RAW (Found in Nature) crafting material or a REFINED (Crafted by players)crafting material.
Ex: Bob's Sister casts the expendable Phantom Steed. Bob's Sister spends the appropriate Power and the appropriate material component (A Horseshoe...?). Bob's Sister now benefits from the Phantom Steed Mount for 1/Hour per level or until dismissed.

-In order to successfully mitigate Game Balance Concerns in regards to Semi-Persistent Buffs and Pets both or either of these methods should be utilized. This makes Semi-Persistent Buffs and Pets:
1) Exclusive: Only those that slot the Expendable can utilize them. In addition in order to slot them you:
A) Need to find the expendable
B) Need to choose this expendable over other expendables
2) Costly: A sacrifice in power that does not regenerate and/or material components will:
A) Greatly reduce the frequency of usage to those who enjoy these play-styles
B) Prevent abuse by making the expendable more than a single cast (Equip it and Forget it Spell)
C) Allow for more player interaction. (Crafting, Trading, Inn travel to regen power, etc..)

Resource and Time Investment
I understand that a programmer will need to devote time and resources into crafting a system that is both balanced and fun to play.
This is not a demand to have these systems in the game NOW. These are merely suggestions to aid with getting these systems into the game EVENTUALLY.

I myself have only a very basic knowledge of coding and therefore cannot contribute heavily in this area. I invite anyone with more experience and knowledge to comment and attempt to alleviate time and resource investments by suggesting specific things to aid the programmers.

Play-Style Bias
This one is present because there are individuals/groups who do not want to see certain play-styles in the game. No one player/group should have any more or less say. With that reasoning, individuals and groups should not be able to revoke access to certain play-styles.

If there is even one individual that wishes to play a certain way then it is the responsibility of the community and the developers to do our best to enable that play-style with the following in mind:
1) Game Balance
2) Resource and Time Investment

If individuals or groups do not want Rangers to have pets, then they can play a ranger that does not utilize a pet, but the individual that wishes to travel and explore next to his faithful hound should have the same opportunity.

Most play-styles have been around since the beginning of Online Gaming, or Gaming in general. And the majority of games offer a way to enjoy that style of play in some way.

-2 Coppers

Sixteen Days. A mere sixteen days until the Golgothan Armies rise from their graves and walk forth into the River Kingdoms. Golgotha will rise and our Necropolis will know no foe strong enough to stand against us.

Which side will you stand on?
Will you stand behind a crumbling society filled with chaos?
Or will you stand shoulder to shoulder with your Golgothan brothers and sisters.

Expertise
Valor
Integrity
Loyalty

If you can maintain these principles then death will never be an obstacle. It is merely a stepping stone on the path to peace.

Except its wrong.

Don't get me wrong, it has a majority of what I purchased, but It doesn't even sync up with what is in "My Downloads".

After doing some number crunching, I have 8 Destiny Twin OE accounts for sale. They will need to be upgraded to EE if you want to participate in Early Enrollment, but they have all the bells and whistles of OE Kickstarter Accounts.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong on my acronyms, its been a year now.
AO- Area of Operations
AI- Area of Influence
AOI- Area of Interest

Whatever nicknames have been attached to our AO, AI, or AOI do not represent the greater aspect of strategic and tactical choices being made within the Golgothan Senate.

Claiming you have irrefutable knowledge of Golgothan Strategic and Tactical planning is foolish. You listed off a number of settlements that do not mirror my notes. In fact the majority of information provided does not mirror my notes. There are some resemblances, as in they both list cardinal directions and utilize the word settlements.

The attempted "scare tactic" being utilized is nothing but hot air being distributed in an attempt to slander TEO. The mistake was dragging Golgotha into this vendetta.

Apparently I'm not as good at letting things go as I thought

Edit #2: Not worth my time
