Why Citywarn should be removed..

When i died and cloned on dantoonie, my only choice was closest cloning facility. So i clone there, as i walk out i get city warned then able to come under attack being outside no more then 20 seconds... Now if i hadnt called my pet already and gallopedout of there, i would have been attacked, killed, clone at nearest((onlyy choice)) attacked, killed clone again repeat. Being griefed while the whole time my inventory is getting destoryed.

My only offense was being a covert imperial, and the guy read my badges so he warned me and city militia can attack now.

This being said, whoever can warn can exploit this terribly. Even going to a friends store maybe, and then getting warned and attacked.

Yes, its sort of good for roleplay, but its extremly exploitable. Whats to stop someone from building a city near a dungeon? With the city ban command, wont be able to go inside that dungeon then.

I know the devs looked out for the best, but they didnt take into account these exploiters.

WAYS TO FIX.

1. Make city warn and city ban have a timer of 1 day inbetween. After 1 week=no status.

2. Add other place to clone other then closest cloning facility.

If they made /cityban a viable option, when you were killed, you wouldn't be able to use that cloning facility, thereby removing you from the situation.

If you were an Imperial, and came into a Rebel town, it makes no difference if you were covert or not. You're still in the GCW.

one more idea to fix. If he didnt like me becausei was aligned with imperial, then he shouldhavecovert scanners.

Maybe adda option to city to make it allignable,giving the city 4 maybe 6 covert scanners that the mayor can place, but cant be withing 100 metersof the cloning center or shuttleports.

First off, you were dumb not to clone...

Secondly, covert imperial in a rebel (I am assuming) town. Dumb again.

Thirdly, READ THE GOD **edit** BOARD - you are posting the umpteenth thread concerning the biggest debate going on in the politician forum...

Fourthly, you can't handle the heat take up a nice crafting profession, pay people to gather your resources, and continue to cry me a river.

It is so hard to not flame you SexyPimp but I know your just using the bad new to try and get a flam war going. I disgusted over this entire thing. I think they should just take away all wepons mounts, houses, factories, structures, and prevent us from doing anything but talking. Make it all text based so we can make hand jesters at each other, and prevent any smilies in the text.

Will that make you happy?

wolf you gotta chill out.

Always the grass is greener on the otherside of the fence. If you were in my shoes you would be complaining too. Till then you can flame your ignorant ass on another post

The real problem isn't with /citywarn. It's with the dev's applyiing a band-aid measure to fix an issue rather than fixing the real issues that let people be griefed.

Keep cityban. Fix the real issues. But it's just easier for them to get rid of the feature rather than spend additional time to make it work well and as intended.

I for one, am sickened.

If I walk into the Nightsisters camp, (or an other NPC MOB that I have a negative FP score with/ or is agro) I can expect to be attacked, why then should a player be able to waltz through oppossing faction cities without any fear of reprisal? This entire game is based suppossedly around the tension and conflict in the Star Wars universe, yet there seems to be an expectation by somethat PVP should only take place under the strictest guidlines, with each side having the same chance/options as the other in all situations and then bothsides have to agree to fight for it to take place. If players dont want to ever chance being griefed then the SIms online is the game for you. This isnt flame, just a simple point, I do very little PVP, but accept the consequences when I do engauge. going into an enemy city is no different then going into a agro mob camp...there should be an expectation of being attacked...

The Cloning center issue is different, and it has been changed on TC to stop continual DB.

Just a thought, if faced with the same situation, why not just restart your computer...load on again later.?

Today I went to wayfar to run rebel missions on my server. Since there was a player town nearby, I decided to help out another city and use their facilites. Well after running a mission, I needed some healing so I went there to give patronage to their healers. Come to find out this player city was controlled by imperials. Seeing that I had a TEF they proceded to /cityban me and kill me. I was cloned there, and had purchased a round trip ticket, which now I can't use since I am banned from city services. The grief isn't /citywarn, the grief is /cityban which effectively traps people in a town. Suffice it to say, I lost 15 items due to decay and finally got out of there with black bars. Had I not been banned, I could have jumped on a shuttle and left quickly.

maybe you should play checkers or something.

the guy cant remeber to clone you think he could survive checkers?

What if the other guy jumps him, or even worse, GETS A OVERPOWERED KING.

NERF THE KINGS.

1. Is /citywarn the issue here, or

2. The fact that you can't leave the city fast enough? (i.e. needs longer timer), or

3. Did you try to leave town, or

4. Did you just mouth off to people killing you

not trying to flame here just asking

The fix2 is fine.

question:"what if they use it to block a dungeon?"

answer: bring friends to kick their butt.
