Thread: The finest content this game has to offer, and an open invitation:
I posted this on the Gorath board, figured I'd toss it in here too.
at around 2am yesterday i decided to have a looksee at the vette mission (finally bypassed the stupid mission 4 bug for storm squad with the help of a buddy) got my jacket and i have to say, the 30 kill mission and the vette is so much fun with the chance of pvp. i caught a player with his pants down while attempting the vette and then he came back and busted a missle in me. was i upset? HELL NO.
nothing is exciting like that without involving breathing players, every single person who clamored for this change has lost something, whether they know it or not, and that's sad. the 30 kill mission without the adrenaline rush from the possibility of being jumped is a joke. an absolute joke, there's no rush, it's just a stupid 30 kill grind against dumb AI. i'm so glad i was able to experience this before tuesday, it will end up being one of my best memories i had in this game. during the 30 kill mission i was not even attacked, not once, but the rush was there. if i had failed, so what? the mission takes 20 minutes.
and you know what else? unless you are a fanboy wearing a solo/boba/mon cal plastic mask and NEED your yt1300 to finish yourself off, the vette is some of the best content this game has to offer... bar none. there's no other generated content that produces the same rush.
it's disgusting what crybabies with eggshell egos are doing to this game. even griefed at the load point is not that big of a deal. so you go back to your mission planet and start again? so you have another shot at the absolute best designed mission in this game? so you have the power to create your own content with a corellian corvette at another time?
i'm not going to finish the mission before tuesday. on purpose.
anyone who has the FP and wants to run the mission or have fun with it let me know, we'll go up, blow it up (or try), fight off anyone who shows up and at the end i'll suicide to take the mission again. if you are a coward, i'll go into the zone first to make sure you aren't griefed while loading. if i'm online on gorath just send me a tell, tonight, sunday night, or monday night. if you are rebel, or neutral you can go with me in my agressor and be my gunner. it won't be as exciting if it's not your mission i think, but maybe you'll get just a little taste.
i don't really care what people for this change have to say about this, comment, as i'm sure you will, but this thread isn't for you. as i said, it's an invitation to take part in something great before it's gone. you are getting what you asked for, so just shut up and let people interested read and enjoy this without a bunch of flames, your opinion against "forced pvp" is out of place here.

i'm going to have to outfit my agressor to make it viable.. that thing's like a schoolbus going 80 on ice.

and credibility isn't what i'm going for here. it's an invitation. i take it you won't be coming.
if you are polite, articulate and explain the situation to the CSR clearly and calmly (try a ticket then immediately afterwards update it with "checking status" if chat doesn't work) that you are being harrassed, he will be more than happy to help you. if you are an idiot, he will likely blow you off. if you are a whining baby he will likely blow you off. keep in mind they have the power to do whatever they want, rules or no.
really this is a moot point, as i've stated above. the mission is being changed, there's no arguement here if it should or shouldn't be. you will not have a problem with load kill griefing if you come along with me for a ride.

If The loader has no chance to fight back, why not just go do some PVE instead? Why is killing someone while they are loading more fun then PVE? At least in PVE they fight back (though not very well).
are we really going to start discussing the mentality of griefers? the corvette passes by the damn spawn point. if i'm doing my mission and i see a pc player anywhere near me, he's getting shot, not because i grief, because i need to live more than i need to die.
this is completely off topic anyway. if you aren't interested in coming, or if you don't have a comment on what i'm trying to do, just go start another thread.

I have yet to see anyone in this thread say that they want to kill people as they load. Can you point it out for me?

just wait until that "chaos and heartbreak" lady reads this, i'm sure she'll be able to point out the quote.
