Last night, we had a group train us in the Forge. One of the party members filmed and supposedly sent the footage to Intrepid. Trash-talking will happen in every game, but I get the impression that people feel there are no consequences so I've seen some heinous things said in Alpha-2, along with some naming conventions that shouldn't be allowed.
Honestly, if they aren't immediately cracking down on toxic and blatant racism, this game is just dead in the water as far as I'm concerned. I don't have the time, energy or the crayons needed to explain why not doing this is going to kill their game. If they don't understand it themselves then they have no hope as developers.
Reporting a bug with /bug allows you to send a screenshot. Not ideal, but if you time it correctly, you would get their comments in the chat and could report the "bug" of verbal abuse.
Good video! But... um... at the end of your video... y...you, kiiinda, Unstuck to escape the dungeon. Isn't that exploiting/cheating too? You should probably report that bug. ;) Just messin'!
Blunt specifically has been so incredibly and disgustingly toxic I cant believe he isnt perm muted. There has me 3 separate occasions multiple groups of people have reported his behavior and nothing seems to be done as of yet. Its fine to have banter, its okay to blast someone for a comment or two, but over and over again on repeat, spamming and egging it on for 10-20 minutes in every single interaction he has is just toxic.
@@SpaceCoconut its a subjective line clearly so stop being lazy and use the in game tools already provided to ignore anyones messages you don't want to see, this is not a hard concept and has existed in pvp games for as long as they have been around, you don't need to talk to anyone in the game you don't want to
People are acting like it's the players that are complaining for a fair and balanced Alpha environment :') No guys, it's the developers that want a fair and balanced Alpha environment. Bug aren't the only thing they're testing. They're getting metrics on performance, balance, economy, the whole shebang. If the balance gets thrown out of proportion the testing is no longer representative enough of the real thing so there must be a wipe. Now who wants to wipe the entire server everytime an exploit is found, just to end up with a situation where now the later stages of the game are tested far worse than the earlier ones? I bet I can count that number of people who think that's the right answer to this on my hands, if not just one of them. So naturally, balance has to be protected to make the balance and economy data mean anything at all. Which means anyone compromising that on purpose (that's not just anyone testing, finding, and reporting the exploit but people who then continue to exploit it for their own gain) is not benefitting the Alpha test, and this is indeed the one time they can do testing properly before it starts affecting the live game so they need to remove anyone who's interfering with that. Those aren't testers, those are the people that play just to be the big guy that has everything because they exploited and not because it benefits the development process. Because just reporting it was the final step. That was the job well done part of the process, now you can move on. By breaking the economy through abusing that bug you've already dealt with, you're taking away from all the good work you just did by adding problems to the environment.
@ a guild & player rep system for instance, that other guilds and players can see. I know they already have concepts for this considering nodes as well.
Polar did the guild war declarations really smart, the bug was to the CD. Polar actually never declared war on the same guild or even their "sister guilds". The CD is per attacked guild. Polar has also done more declarations after rewards were removed then before. This also lead to some bad will as Polar actually hunted the "smaller" guild down and went to war. Some of the guilds actually just spammed their "sister guilds" over and over. Now one thing I'm sure of every guild with large numbers should be losing some to the tower bug abuse. Mail exp does sound very lame.

Great Vid bud, I agree 100% with all points said in video.
Great video. Subbed for more.
There is no line! This forced PvP "game" will have the most toxic player base in history.
FACT!

you know the game has an ignore option right? sounds like you should use it
@@ShadowOfaManTV or you can behave like an adult and not be a toxic POS.
Sure, ignore is an option if you lack comprehension. The question being asked here is “where is the line for harassment that breaks the ToS”

exactly.
This trash talking is really light and unoffensive (unless I missed something).
That being said, clarification of boundaries is always good.
The degree of offensiveness is subjective to who hears it. It could be light to you, but ToS breaking to someone else.

you all keep saying this, yet their leader is spinning up an alt account because hes pretty sure hes gonna get smacked.
Not sure who these guys are, but I agree, calling you bigger was not good. he should of said maggot instead. it would of been more fitting.
