Politician Archive

Ok since we can't have /citywarn back, I'm asking that the devs look into making Covert Scanners placeable inside our cities.

Before you say "They are"take a moment and consider the fact that a covert scanner has a big footprint that prevents you from having stuff nearby. So for instance we have an area in our IMPERIAL city that lies between our Cantina and our city hall. It's our main gathering area and the scanners there would make it basically a big empty space, not the garden filled congregating area that it is now. So in order to have it a cool place to hang we have to put up with the covert reb that comes in starts an AFK macro that shouts out "Long live the Rebellion. IMPS are stoopid. All imps are wussies." So we have to pick up everything. Drop the scanner, Kill the guy. Replace everything. When in the star wars universe anyone who did that would promtly be beat down by the nearby stormtroopers. Or worse what about the guy that stands on the City hall steps and does the same thing and we can't get at him with the scanner.

Please make the scanners lay over the top of other footprints so that they are actually usable. Right now they are basically just a waste of FP on one side and free FP for the other when they sneak in later and destroy it.

JUST GIVE US SOMETHING SO THAT MY CITY OF 135 IMPS CAN HAVE SOME PEACE FROM THE COVERT COWARD GRIEFERS.

We have no problem with near 24/7 attacks on our city by overts and we're probably the biggest FP sink on our server with the bug that allows you to stand outside of a turrets range and still destroy it. We keep grinding FP to keep them there in order to protect our bases but jeeze. Give us something. WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CREATE AN IMPERIAL OR REB city and enforuce it.

ALSO before you say make a ticket or report it, we have. And if they aren't using profanity, racial or sexual slurrs or some non pc statements, the CSR's wont do anything. So we're left with the unpleasant experience of having 85 overt imperials surrounding one covert rebel STANDING ON THE STEPS OF OUR CITY HALL SPAMMING US. Talk about a broke GCW.

We'll burn out the FP we'll pay the maintenance, we'll replace them when they get destroyed, but just let us be able to protect SOME portion of our city where some decent role-play can happen. Where we can BE IMP or REB and act like it without a covert opposing faction member ruining our experience. After all we have spent untold millions of hours and credits building a place to play and one griefer can come in at 7:30 am go afk and laugh all day long about how he's ruinng our city while he's sitting at his schooldesk doing his 3 R's.

I dont' expect this to get responded to by a dev. I don't expect anything to be done. I hope for it though. Just maybe a post by one of the devs that say HEY we feel your pain, we want you to be able to roleplay and we have an idea to help and maybe it'll be in the next patch on test (has the next patch even gone to test yet???).

THROW US A BONE DEVS. I can't fight anymore because I'm the proverbial Master Architect / Politician. I'll have to give up Novice Carbine or Novice Medic to finish Politician and then basically my game will exist in my city where I can't roleplay being an IMP MAYOR because of the guy standing on the steps of my city hall screaming his head off. Sure I can put him on ignore, but what about the over 100 people that come to my city every day. Do I ned to put a harv in town and name it "Please ignore XXX so we can have a conversation that doesn't scroll outta the chat box" Oh yeah, I can't do that unless I pick up the gardens.

I haven't seen a RED NAME post here in a while. My Metropolis's citizens are unhappy because we're being griefed. I'm not even gonna go into the REBEL HEAVY HARVESTERS that were placed by some guild right outside our level one city boundary and now are in the middle of town with little rebel flags on top right next to one of our big Imperial Bases.

You were so quick to protect those people who were looking to get holocrons (which destroyed alot of the gains being made in the in-game economy) and allow everyone to chase Jedi you'r killingoff the greatest role-play device in the game (A PLAYER CITY WITH AN ACTUAL COMMUNITY IN IT).

Sorry about the rambling rant. But this is the fifth day in a row that we've been griefed by this new AFK tactic. And the response from CSR that "No there's no way we can prevent that" just brought a tear to my eye as I imagine the slow death of our city as a result of people not even sitting in front of their computer.

I'm so sad about this state of afairs I may have my mayor kneel in the middle of some reb town overt and have them burn me in protest. Oh but no one would notice. Just like no dev is ever gonna notice the plight of the citys we've created.

BUT AT LEAST THE PRECIOUS HOLOCRONS ARE SAFE AND AVAILABLE TO ALL!!!! Cept us politicians who can't muster up the skills to go get one on our own. Hell I doubt my Toon could even get to the force caves let along make it inside with his current template.

DARN I'm getting more depressed by the minute. But not ready to give up yet.

"Enforuce" for "enforce", I think that's one of myworst typos ever. I'm sure there are more so sorry about the grammar and spelling mistakes.

You have a lot of friends to your ideas in this forum. I support all of this.

Covert detectors for faction cities should be easier to place.

Cityignore and the ability to strip folks of covert status if they use certain keywords.

Ability to move structures in a city as mayor.

Ability to see structure owner as a mayor.
