April 2017 Tuning Discussion - PRELIMINARY

[Silentknight]

Wow, I really feel bad about it as I said on the pm that I sent you. I didn't know you were running for the 25th as I said to.
Glad you make it and still feeling bad about almost drive you out of that rank.

What's done is done. In the future I would pay a little more attention to your troopers ranks,especially in the last hour,let alone the last 5 min. Partially my own fault for hanging around tier markers,won't happen again. Why anyone would use up their SoW at the end to gain nothing is beyond me. Makes alot more sense to wait til after reset & use them to climb. Guess we all have different strategies.
Also this has nothing to do with prisoner nerf or people's opinion on the subject. If that was the case Gmac,slauki,Tom,etc. would have been gone long ago. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion!

Why do you care so much if someone attacked you.Isn't that the whole point of the arena. Like who cares if he attacked you at the last minute. Like hell i applaud him for doing so. No one is safe, trooper or not. Learn how to be more like your friend jofer. Haha no one can stop him nor do he ever complain about being attack. *Tip* Stop complaining, grind harder, and take notes. If you cant then simply stop playing. That's what I do......

Lmao!!! U r the last person who should be talking about complaining! Complain & insult is what u do, that's y ur older posts were deleted.
Could care less about # of attacks or who attacks me but when it's done in last minutes with nothing to gain...
There's a certain amount of loyalty between troopers/friends,something u obviously know nothing about!
As far as ur tips...take ur own advice. Every week including beta I've been #4-#25 w/o spending any extra ironite,including 2 weeks w/o using Lefty so I don't think I need any of ur 'advice'.

I can agree here. My trooper, Ian popped up on my last list with ~10 minutes until reset. I saw that his point total put him just barely into the top 100, and therefore made sure not to hit him. It's just what troopers do. If you see a trooper near a threshold for a higher reward tier on your list, you avoid attacking them out of respect and loyalty, as you'd want them to do the same for you.

Thanks man, last week was my best result and I am very grateful for you not giving me a smacking lol. Saw a few of my troopers on my attack list including you and I never attacked any unless they popped up in my defence list first - even then I would think twice before revenging: A good trooper is worth much more than some iron coins and VP.

When I said take notes I mean by your friend jofer. And FYI I deleted my post willingly on my own. And why would I need to take my own advice. When I'm not the one complaining. And yes, i would have to admit i did have my bad days but than again who don't.

Also you speak about loyalty. What is loyalty really? Letting a few people get laid off at their jobs. Or letting a few people starve to death and by any means I could go on forever. But then again you seem to be one of those people, who is just to caught up in their selves to no the difference. Yet I wonder why Jofer didn't let Nicko take the lead for 1st last week or the week before it. Yet they are friends and "loyalty" didnt play a role in that equation.

Overall this is a competition and whether you are a trooper of mind, friend, or anything else. Be warn this is just a contest. Nothing more or less.

Edit: I seen your post tritium. And would I care if a trooper of mind attack me. No, simply because this is a "COMPETITION". And I don't need any special privileges or handouts from anyone. Regardless of who they are...

[Lord Schmeb]

Actually I did have an explanation but was a little preoccupied & seeing as how u decided to attack me in the last 5 min. of a tight race with absolutely nothing to gain... A trooper even! Should i say ex-trooper

Oh man, this might be the lamest shit I've read on these forums. Trooper loyalty? Seriously? Wow.

I clear my list, regardless of who's on it, and expect nothing less from anyone else. If I can't gain a rank/tier/reward without my e-friends taking it easy on me, then I may as well remove my balls and call it a day. I repeat, my Troopers better attack my ass non-stop, because I'm coming for you just as hard. When the smoke clears, we'll go grind GoD or something equally mundane, but the gloves are off in the arena.

Off topic, I went to bed on Friday at rank 46. $29.99 and 300 or so ironite later, I almost didn't crack 100. I don't know what was up, but my Defense that was above 20% all week plummeted, and every team with a blue bat ate my lunch (along with pretty much every other team, now that I think about it). I would've been better off just staying out on Saturday, which is sad.

Considering how you ranted and attacked other players for quite a while in an old PVP thread, I highly doubt what you've said here. I'll call your bluff right now and say that you'd likely be pretty pissed if a trooper of yours knocked you out of 5th place at the last minute. I understand the whole "it's a competition" argument, but you haven't shown any kind of self-control on the forums here before to make me think otherwise.

Hell, I'd be rather frustrated if a normal, non-trooper player knocked me out of 5th at last minute (I'm HIGHLY competitive in nature and love winning). Understandably, I'd be a little bit more incensed if it was a trooper of mine from the forums (the non-forum troopers I can't bond with at all, so it's hard to connect with them beyond how long they've been on my list). This is my opinion, but it seems that I'm not the only one who thinks this way. I'll continue to use my rule of not attacking troopers during the last minutes of the PVP week before reset, but obviously they're fair game throughout the week!

Big difference between clearing list and attacking with nothing to gain. Don't expect anyone,trooper or not,to take it ez on me. Also shared some of the responsibility due to hanging around tier markers. As far as loyalty goes, I would say ur in the minority, could be wrong tho
