This suggestion is open, and its just an idea, some will possibly dislike it.

the mechanics of the game is that people performing aggressive actions have a increase in retaliatory actions and this creates balance. so some non Waring type player may have very few actions that can be taken against him or her while players who love PVP will possibly have a very high action count.

Some players get Utterly frustrated when they are cleared out by a single player and this could be by a player who you simply cant retaliate, maybe he is too strong or just a hell of allot more time or general aggression. Frustration leads to discontent with the game, some people may feel that they are being harassed. Dan created a limited use TM rule, which goes a long way to resolving the issue. ( now i have excluded artifacts that may be used to temporarily lower your opponents ability or increase your ability )

So in a nutshell my suggestion is any single player cant do more that 5 aggressive actions against another player, waking up in the morning and seeing 2 pages of actions can do nothing but make people hate the player and hate the game. In this rule the player will still have his actions but it would need to be performed by other players on the server.

It wont eliminate the 2 pages for all, but it would spread the voice of reason because not all legion members will try and destroy someone for something they feel is trivial.

if you steal a planet or whatever then yes i expect to be cleared out.

Now I'm not writing this in response to being cleared out, to my knowledge in this game I have never been completely cleared out. I just think it can avoid allot of excessive conflict that is not in the spirit of the game. we are here to have fun.

But its an open idea... take me down a peg! LOL

Cheers play well play nice!

+1 i like it,now is that a total of 5 actions per player, if so it would need to be atleast 5 per player every 24 hrs.

I'd go with 5 actions per player per 12hrs. due to the fact that red/blue/yellow badges are awarded on a 12+ hour timescale.

Omg... this from a Dysonian??!!?

This is a war game... there is an attack button, a raid one, and lastly a hack.. there is no dock with ship and throw a party. This is not Farmville, and is not about getting along. It is about legions gaining in power (again to fight, and take enemy planets, kill their bases)... there are wars, and there is zeroing of actions. The 50 offensive action change crippled it already. Unbelievable in this game that Dan penalizes and cripples the victor in a war.... THIS would make all PvP in GL a joke.

Have to say no - planet thieves. You WANT to be able to zero the person who stole your multimega gaia or whatever. Or at least have a chance at a critical hack.

Lol ...

Im more than capable of clearing a player out, The suggestion actually encourages group activity, if your planet is taken the whole legion can still attack right up to the max actions, however hatred begins when people bully other people ultimately they end up being flame wars, here in the forum.

The act of a single player doing 50 plus actions to another player is personal revenge for something nothing else. I thing 50 actions from one player is excessive in any books. you talk about this being a PVP game, but its much more than just PVP and name instances of games that allow you to raid hack or whatever repeatedly, you will get banned on many games for zeroing in and harassing players.

Anyway your legion can still punish the player but there is no need to do 50 or 60 actions on a single player.

Exceptions to this rule is when players are guarding planets, or when players fight back.

Only way I could agree to this (and the way I think it should be)... would be to drop the 50 action cap when WAR is declared between legions... then it should be a total no limit free for all.

.. and PVP is core to this game.. always has been.. well until recently.

Personally I dont see any reason for more limitations on PVP, with the advent of action limits and and TM limiting (which i oppose FYI) you reap what you sow and nothing more. Sure you have a few actions to start with so that PVP can exist outside of hardcore PVPers but thats now enough actions to ruin a gaming experience.

I think pvp is fine the way it is. No need to add or change anything. Just leave it be.
