Griefers

[PhobosReloading]

So how do you all deal with griefers? Had a piss-poor attempt, but an attempt nonetheless. Took screenshots of incident, but doesn't seem to be any mods. For a half-assed multi, they at least incorporated people's ability to do this.

I bought 2 copies of this game expecting at least $30 dollar standard it was priced at. One to gift to a good friend who needed their mind off the world. This, however, was F-ing embarrassing. So understand my growing disgust. I have a nephew in game development that has helped put out better multiplayer infrastructure.

Just to be clear- it removes it from YOUR instance. It still will exist in everyone else's instance. Do what you like, but you are not being helpful if you think turning it off is a noble deal or something.

That's good to know, because I felt bad for reporting a couple of bases that were built so close to a really cool Living Ship, or Regular SHip, that it made it so you couldn't "Activate" the ship to claim it or get inside it.

I felt that some people were legitimately trying to be helpful, (Because of how they named their base) but it gets annoying when you Find a base built close to a ship, AND the area has a dozen Communication Orbs that also affect your ability to even touch the ship.

Also, as far as griefers go, STAY AWAY FROM RDR2 online!!!

Unless tea counts as negative, it's more rapidly becoming aware of this game's flaws while it was being touted as the coming of the next freelancer or some similar crap. If the description clearly says "Online Co-Op" there is an understood standard. If you go to a restaurant, you expect the food to be kept from going bad or from being subject to vermin. Understand the point, or do we need to discuss this further? Your stance is exactly why quality of games are allowed to slip, don't make excuses for incompetence.

Wow the hype is OTT, the advertisements doesn't show the flaws... Lol, is there ANY product, game or otherwise where this isn't the case,
to my stance.... i don't need to make excuses
i'm on record in this forum as mentioning many of the flaws of this game... but i don't need to make a big deal of it cos
1) i luv the game
2) bits i don't like, i don't do (i.e. MP/Co-Op)
3) most importantly as the game is not competitive and i'm not into MP, i mod the heck out of the game to bring it closer to my idea of how the game should be (including fixes/re-balancing, QoL and Visual)... i find that much more constructive than asking for changes and waiting, and waiting
i'm retired from programming/contract consultancy, tinkering with the game is almost as much fun as playing it for me

all that being the case, anyone looking to buy the game can ask about it in this forum
(do a search) you will see 'we' always advise NOT to buy the game if combat, MP and or Co-Op is most important to you cos those features aren't very robust/deep

That's not to say it's not a good game but 'niche' definitely applies here, i'd describe it as a 'chilled' space exploration sandbox and luv' it, but many won't and that's ok, but some tend to try to twist the 'broken promises' into a right to demand the game be developed in ways they want or else they'll scream the house down... good luck with that

Griefers exist in almost every game with MP, but there isn't much reward for doing it in NMS, no looting other players... and everyone can switch PvP damage off or report a base to remove traps, so they soon move onto other games

HG makes their money from 'new sales' plain and simple, no nefarious means reqd. as the game (with free updates, no paid DLCs, no micro-transactions) and often 50% off sales is great value for money

Your idea of incompetence is another person’s idea of game play. Some groups actually like to get together on PVP.

HG has made a game open to all sorts of players. They also have you the options to not participate in any sort that you don’t want to. That isn’t incompetence. That is very thought out and calculated game designing to include all.

Maybe this game isn’t for you.

Keep PvP disabled, travel some direction far away to a little area of the galaxy that is less explored, and you won't run into anyone else ever - problem solved.

I've been playing on a second account through GamePass, and the griefing is far worse there. There are people who sit in their ships on the landing pads at the Featured bases in the Anomaly and essentially set everyone on fire who spawns in. You fizzle for a bit and then start taking fire damage, even with PVP off.

Had another guy kill me with PVP off. I heard him firing something from a spaceship but never saw any animations, I just suddenly died.

PvP has PvP areas and etiquette. I learned long ago to avoid ones one run around attacking without scruples. One ended up stalking me, and I got a brand-new shiny 9mil to teach him to ♥♥♥♥ off. Please don't be like that SoB. Some lessons you don't stand up from.

Watch your judging. This is just a game. So things happen when you play freebies and run around in multiplayer internet games. I don’t do either and I don’t have your issues. That doesn’t make me the problem.

In lighter thoughts, I did find a gem hidden in this game. I haven't seen combat mechanics this addictive in awhile. Crank run time, jetpack tech, wep tech, shield, and any necessary element shields. You can easily lose an hour in the sentinels/corrupted.
