Hello, Vector-Hostile! - MXO Forum Archive

OUT, OUT OF OUR FORUMS! :smileyvery-happy:

Heh, just kidding, your post is the first I actually like from the (dun dun dun) "other servers". :smileyhappy:

Let me be frank, as you just were. I have no idea how the server war will turn out. Ironically, I'm betting the bugs will defeat all 3 servers, but if they don't, we'll all still be learning a completely new system. Some servers will have numbers, others aptitude, others combat experience. Each of those 3 qualities is essential to adapting to new environments (let's face it, that's what we will all have to do).

As for the anemosity, on the forums, it is nonstop. Ingame, it depends on the player. Personally, I despise the word "pwned" and "noob" - I get a twitch when I hear anyone say it, even my allies. The QA is going to be a blank slate, and while I can guarantee you that there will be some ... less mature individuals (on all servers, by the way), I think that most of us have been hardened enough to be humble in victory and respectful in defeat.

See you out there.

Vector is one of those interesting places. I personally bitched, whined, complained, and pouted through most of my lower levels. But after 9 (is it 9?) months of playing here, I've kinda found that after everyone killed everyone else for the first 3,479 times, and posted a humiliating screenshot on the forums of it; we developed a kind of "counter-community" based on warfare, which almost serves as a better community than what we started with.

(BTW: If you quote me later on saying our community is good, I'll deny it :smileyvery-happy: )

Yeah, though, from what he's saying today, it's more like 10 level40's can do it, not 10 level15's...

..Or, it will look like this:

Lvl15ftw's extreme falling kick does 1 damage to you! (insignificant roll VS insignificant roll)
Lvl15rock's Precise Speed Attack does 2 damage to you!
You activate Health Pill 1.0.
Health pill 1.0 restores 3 health to you!
Lvl15ftw: "*CENSORED* cheater".

Well, it is a combat upgrade... and, as I've said before, a unique opportunity, that to my knowledge has always been dreamed of but never achieved in MMO history.

We have all asked ourselves "I wonder what the best PvPers on <server> would compare to mine". You hear live event coverage, or a DJ say "come <here>, there are 10 machines on <another server>" and you think to yourself "I have a full mission team, I wonder what fighting them would be like".

The hostility between the servers only fuels these basic questions - it does not create the conflict, it only gives it a voice. Nor is it an actual "conflict"....

...I view it more of a "when worlds collide" alternate universe style scenario (or event)

P.S. I think "Worlds Collide" would make a good front banner :smileywink:

Well, it'd be something we can try.

Maybe we can all make alts (not on the QA, but when it goes live), and see how many level 2's it takes to take down a 50.

I say 86.
