Ok, time to deal with less than pleasant players
Locutus of borg:
have you ever been on spudnick's ship the "mines of mortar"? its a junker with a mine mortar broadside. The mines provide both piercing damage and a defense against the inevitably charging pyra.
Locutus of borg:
but basically YES is do see your point. people use "im just messing around man" as an escape route whenever they start to lose a fight
Swizy:
I'll just give my two cents on this. I had the pleasure to be with you on one or two games with some of these non pleasant players. We were on a metamidion and I was on main. There was one other engineer with a buffer and he kept coming down buffing the hull instead of staying in the front. I remember you swearing and shouting at him for being a retard of not staying with the gun. I had a real blast on your rage since I first thought you weren't srs. but you were srs. and that's sad...
I don't think you realise you make this seem like it's such a big deal. It's like you have just found the internet and you're unsure of it's many users. This is not the first game to experience such "non pleasant players". There are even worse cases in Strategy games where you'd depend even more on a teammate and all he does is goove around. However that's a minority on almost every game. You might have heard it already but chill the fuck down. If by now you haven't stacked up a friends list you certainly are not taking the opportunity of playing the game with what it offers. Teaming up with friends is what this game is basically is all about, not strafing around aimlessly. After you played some time it's optional to find games alone. But be aware that not everybody is able to understand/hear or simply listens to you. Because if you start acting like a prick you're simply shout at a wall.
I played over a thousand matches and some guys in this thread even more yet somehow they seem to get along just fine whetever it is because they choose to play with guys they know or simply they're not as easy to get off as you seem to be.
I call upon the ultimate argument here and say "it's only a game" -everybody
If you don't act like a prick on a ship that's one less of the minority of bad players.

Make friends, play with them, enjoy the game
Though we all play in pubs I know personally this is how I tend to have the most fun in GOI.

Which is why we barely see you in pubs. And no, duck games are not pubs, even if you forget the password sometimes...

I'm not likely to call players I'm yelling at retards. Besides, that was nothing compared to yesterday. Xerx can confirm I felt like I was going to die. Though it was my mistake to put my crew in a Galleon I suppose. And you might hate my behavior to these players. But you have to agree that what I ask of people is reasonable. I am the player running loadouts that compensates for my crew's inabilities and plays to their strengths. I do explain to people how I want thinks done and given time I even explain why I make the decisions I make. Yes, you've had to pleasure of seeing me blow up against someone who didn't listen, yet you also should've noticed that I didn't attack you on anything in that scenario.

This is exactly the thing I wish to prevent. I'm not saying you shouldn't have friends or shouldn't be playing with friends. But any player should have access to any pub with a fairly set standard. If you restrict yourself to a friendslist you will get inhousing and inhousing is one of the worst forms of elitism there is. In this game it's still possible to go to a public game and have fun. But the occurrences of those kind of pubs is diminishing.

Yes, this argument is essentially the same as playing basketball, tossing the ball to your opponents and then going "it's only a game bro!". It's a teamgame, it should be fair to expect some sort of standard.
Now if you want to prevent Muse implementing this system because it's the only suggestion made up until the point shit hits the fan, I really recommend you stop targeting me specifically and come up with actual alternatives.

Or an even better one someone block this post and this guy because he doesn't understand the meaning of "freedom" or "free will" so he is going to be a moron about this and keep putting stupid threads on this forum.

Actually have him blocked in game. Can't remember the reason why but I guess maybe you found it.
Ahh my glorious block list...someday to be featured as a mini game of it's own in GOIO! :D
