Why do you think Vector has less LET interaction?

Very often I read posts about characters showing up at parties on other servers, I also hear about the level of interaction during events. Maybe I’m being misled, people are exaggerating, or is the vector server really getting less attention than other servers? Does anyone have a character on another server that could verify this?


If this is the case, why do you think Vector gets less love?

In the past month we've had 1 event, 2 black market parties, 1 random party, and a big tourney. All of these had little to no interaction while other servers seem to have had interaction.

I stand corrected.

Because as soon as someone turns up things get very hostile. People kill others to get more attention, people attempt to draw LET into combat, chat gets filled with "stop killing"


On recursion it is much better and easier, and it would seem they stay more in character there as well.

To paraphrase what a factionmate recently told me: This server has become a daycare service.

 

I love Vector.  I really do.  Once in a blue moon I will hop onto Recursion or Syntax and eventually go insane with boredom.  It's dull when I'm not constantly looking over my shoulder wondering if a Mach or Merv is in the area.  I like being kept on my toes.  But frankly, I don't think this server has earned the privilege of being graced with the presence of the LET.

 

Knowing what you know about the Vector community, would you want to come here if you were part of the LET?  I would think that the LET members would want to be able to play out their role in peace without people spamming area chat and asking them to take their shirts off.  I understand that there is immaturity across all servers, but on Vector is seems to have become the norm.

 

For the most part, I like to think that the majority of the Vector community is a mature bunch who want to interact with the LET as much as anybody.  But as the saying goes, all it takes is one bad seed.  Vector has a couple bad seeds, and for some reason they wear that badge with pride.  Even if they get banned, it just adds to their ego.  They give Vector a bad name.  Hence the LET doesn't bother to show up, and the group of sensible players feel ignored.

 

We aren't being ignored, per se.  The LET knows Vector exists, and they are making a conscious decision to stay far far away.  Of course, this is just my opinion.

 

However, I think the solution to the problem could be more LET appearances.  If the Vector community is given a little more opportunity to interact with the LET, and if we can stop all the petty bickering and trash talk for a few minutes, then perhaps Vector can reclaim itself.

All i have to say manic is when you have 4500 subscribers across 3
servers the last thing you need to be doing is alienating vector people
will quit and to be quite blunt this game is dangerously close to
loseing enough to pull in the slightest profit.

Viral Vendetta goes out of its way to try to host and start events so
does Black market radio and so do many other factions the simple fact
that none of us are getting any interaction imo is wrong regardless of
how the staff feels about the server maybe if they would have
implemented a descent pvp system to begin with there wouldnt be such a
potential for greifing its not our fault that they cant control their
events and we shouldnt be punished as the mature end of the player base
.

But whatever man they can keep up the selective content this game cant afford many more mistakes -_-

Ironically Vector draws both the people who most care about the story from the films etc who want the most real experience a game can give them and the opposite type of player, the one who couldn't care less about the story and is only here to use the game engine in a souless manner (pvp at all costs i guess but I'm genuinely lost as to why these people dont go to another game)......as such the behaviour and maturity of the server is reduced by the frustration wherein these two groups meet. I can understand the LET being more reserved in their presence here tbh.... it can offer the very best and most rewarding experience, but it can also ruin the most well organised and well meaning of visits!

I am starting to think at this point in the game that alot of us
deserve LET interaction we have stuck through the dark ages of this mmo
and we still are and we still continue to try to host our own events in
hopes that the staff will just interact with us and give us some hope
that theres a storyline.

If they want to be more reservd about it i feel thats a very wrong move
in many ways they have ways to freeze players at events and if need be
they should use it to help them run succesful to be quite honest if
this continues on this server me and many other people will most likely
cancel our subscriptions i cant justify paying for this game and trying
to host events when the Live Events Team wont even make an effort to
help our server because "they just dont feel like it"

Jeez, use full stops will you?


 


I think what also doesn't help are the type of events. The recent showing of the Frenchman was at a Dinner party. Something that as far as I know is new, original and something no one on Vector has attempted. The main "events" are either parties(ie all show up at a club and listen to the radio) or Fight Nights. We want the LET? We need to come up with something fresh and original. And of course, to let only let those who are of the RP persuasion know of it, otherwise, we have gank-fest.

Here is a short list:

1. As soon as an LET comes to Vector about half of the server becomes ignorant and shouts and spams stupid stuff.

2. As soon as an LET comes to Vector it becomes an all out brawl and lags the area to hell.



I got MxO to participate in the story and interact with LET over pvp.
Now i love to pvp as much as the next guy, but when thats all we ever
do Im bored.

No offense Trucidos, but I think your hostility illustrates exactly why LET avoids vector.

there used to be alot more interesting RP events on all hostile servers, but every time one is thrown someone or a group of people think its a great idea to try and ruin it. example: a group of reds coming in a trying to ruin a memorial service for Vashuo on Enumerator. If LET might have shown up since it'd be a perfect situation for it to happen, but the whole thing got ruined...so they didn't show up. It may have been fun for those people during that time, but for the people who wanted to partcipate in that the experience was ruined. And in the eyes of LET who may have been coming it ruined it for the whole community. Over and over these same people set us back.

But since the idea of making RP characters and our own RP forum we can take that reputation back. If we make RP events JUST for our low level characters eventually these people will either stand around not being able to attack and ruin events or make a character themselves and join in. The Player Event Team is in the works to start getting our reputation back...the more people that participate with low level RP characters the more we'll be deserving of getting our LET characters back to this server.

PET (player events team) have 2 storyline events in the works right now and they will be for low level RP characters.

I'm sure people spam and fight on other servers too. I don't think the attitude/actions of a few, should scare the LET away from showing the same kind of support to Vector. Truc wasn't hostile he just pointed out that there are people trying to put things together and that Vector shouldn't be segregated. There is virtually no attempt to interact with our player base.


Of course we are just assuming it's punishment for bad behavior but I'd like to hear it from the horse’s mouth.

well, another things is...LET may have been visiting our server but we may not even know it....

considering the only way we'll ever know if a character came to our server is if someone tells us about it. If it was a secret meeting that happened the people involved might want to keep it under wraps and not tell anyone.

Hell, they could be coming in everyday and we may not even know. hehe

unfortunately
