It's not a non sequitur because it relates to the point in discussion. That being my opinion that creeps in game share behaviour with creeps in RL. The last statement was my qualification for having that opinion. Your ad hom awareness was fair but I think we need to go to the video ref for the...

Any movement during spell casting cancels the cast. That includes being pushed or knocked. I'm not aware of shield hits creating any knockback. Afaik it just counts like any other equipment hit and does reduced damage.

I think I'm entitled to make that judgement, thanks. Not that it's anyone else's business.

A lot of people seem quick to defend abuser mentality.

I know. But the main opposition doesn't want anything to change. Even if they could live outside cities they would still want to keep the blue advantage. They are enjoying the best of both worlds right now and refuse to acknowledge it.

That's just how I view those scumbags. My opinion. Agree or not it doesn't change it.

Same mentality behind it. If you don't like being in the same ballpark as scumbags then don't act like a scumbag. But don't act like a scumbag and cry when you get associated with the worst of all scumbags.

Righto. So your defence in court would be "that was a different fight and it's not relevant so I don't have to offer a defence" lol. It's kinda ridiculous. It's the same "hardcore" noobhunters defending their own abuser logic. You know it's paedo behaviour, right? Purposely looking for the...

I think the simplest way to fix the alignment at the moment is to introduce war and war declaration. Zero penalties for guild on guild war/PvP. That alone would massively change the dynamic of current PvP.

Lol. It's a game. It's the very definition of play. You introduced competition because the game doesn't. There are no leaderboards and you don't win anything in real life. The competition is in your own head.

It's been a while since I read the original study. I think this article covers it as well as other material references. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5074863/

I always refer to the rat study where scientists were studying socialisation in rats. A large part of socialisation in rat communities is play and they studied it in detail. In part of the research they studied the play between a small rat and a much larger rat. The large rat could easily win...

Wow is an mmorpg. Do you want to use that as a comparison? Elden Ring? FF? New world?

But it's still not a fair comparison. The very premise of eve allows access to systems that simply couldn't be implemented in MO. It's set in the future and the only limitation is the designer's imagination. Complex systems can be explained by advanced technology. If SV explained everything as...

Eve also has factions, high sec space, police and a meaningful alignment system. It's also a huge universe. But it's not a good or fair comparison either. If you want to make the comparison then you also have to explain what it is about eve that makes it popular because it isn't just RPK and...

Not really. Do you know any victims of murder? It's thankfully low but it could always be lower. I just think there needs to be a bit of balance to allow defenders a bit more of a chance.

The same argument is made for every first/third person full loot game. And they all fall by the wayside because the genre attracts some really toxic people. You're saying it's the toxic people that make the content. It's one thing to lose all your stuff but it has to at least feel like you had...

The statistical likelihood of you walking along a path in the middle ages and bumping into a serial killer who had killed 100s of times was pretty low. If a person had killed 100s of people the villagers and townsfolk would have all been out hunting them down because everyone would have lost a...

The more I read this the more it sounds like you're running with a group and the "1v1" is just someone focussing you and you winning. Ignoring all the other factors in that situation. I think you are talking out of your arse and I don't believe it. You can't kite an MA. Who are you actually...
