What I thought, dumbest idea ever

Nihilons

I don't think ingress is working with those stupid pogo cells 🤷‍♀️

Nihilons

We're talking ingress, sorry I don't want to sound harsh, whats niantics politics is towards pogo is theirs, I just don't like ingress to be infiltrated by that

Nihilons

What about wintrading? A few pogo players who are known to raid together started here in both factions and we suspect them to do wintrading and/or accountsharing? To proof such thing is really hard... 🤷‍♀️

Nihilons

Tinted nostalgica. So you say star trek shouldn't be defined by its creators visions because it's tinted nostalgia? You saw any of that in discovery?

Nihilons

Couldn't agree more, you get the point I tryed to make. I didn't even want to bring up the personal relationship thing, obviously from some other comments, it seems to be enough to catch them. But I simply expect more from star trek. S2E2 was a hope Beacon to me that Discovery will evolve over what it is now, still waiting tho...

Nihilons

Maybe you are right with the assumption that it always aimed for the mainstream audience. But even with that assumption, they did better a long time ago.

Nihilons

TOS was never a success back then. TNG. Yes.

CGI was never as important and in the focus as in discovery.

I still hate Wesley. 🤷‍♀️

Running after or be the first who runs in front and the rest runs after you. See no difference?

Discovery isn't defining trends at all. It's structured like most series are lately. They bring in one main character with a few dopes around, not to many of course, and all the soap opera shit evolving around it. And it's not mainstream. At least in my country. And especially not to young people, they try to catch imho with more action and more CGI and more soap opera relation ships. That's small thinking to me. Star trek is so not in the space of the young series junkies from age 20 - 30 around me and never will be. But still they try. I'd like to see back the visions of roddenberry, the Big picture, controverials about defining a society and the struggle to live within it and the struggle of accepting other cultures and moral values.

Nihilons

1 Episode your referring to. It's more than 1 or even 3 episodes as I remember right. You seem to be easy taken in the emotional level, sorry, I don't want soap opera in space, I wanna see star trek. So yes, different shows.

Nihilons

Funny. It's completely different here, the ingress community is really civilized, even the more aggressive ingress players really have manners, couldn't say that about the Pokémon Community. there is a lot of Pokemon players starting here in the last months in Ingress, cos it seems to be official that Pokémon players have 7 submits in two weeks or something, so they started ingress because they think that is by far not enough. that's what they said at least...

Nihilons

Of course, there are also ingress agents not following the guidelines. And I can assure you, talking doesn't help. I had lots of discussions, but the answer is, what can as many Pokestops/Arenas as possible hurt... The ones being abusiv give a shit bout ingress, the rules or its community. I admit, I come from pokemon too, but when I started ingress, I started it with respect for the community and its habits, I stopped pokemon some time ago and identify myself as a ingress agent now. I had a very good insight in the pokemon community in this area and you do not want to hear whats going on in this community! Until now, I never ever met such behavior from ingress agents, the "bad boys" in Ingress looks like child play compared to the pokemon hardcore gamers...

Nihilons

TOS 1x, TNG 3X, DS9 3x, Voy Season 6 - 8 still missing, ENT 2x, Discovery 1x. Animated never.

Nihilons

He should have been driving snakelines!! 🤣🤣

Nihilons

And you think arty focus is a good thing? You like it to be helplessly eaten down in your heavy?

Nihilons

Some of them are banned with all accounts we know of (...) and are still suspected to keep that behavior going, it's hard to keep track sometimes and without evidence... Shouldn't we have fun playing ingress instead of tracking Pokémon go's violating the rule... Just sayin'...

Nihilons

That is true, most portals I know are on company ground of worldwide acting enterprises, 2 of them have visitor days, that still leaves the rest without visitor days. I also know that it is not allowed for the workers there to play games on their private mobiles on company ground. Because those company's are only aware of pokemon, they got all the Pokestops and arenas on their company ground removed, guess they just don't know about ingress....

Nihilons

Thats why I used the smiley... I just like'd to get a picture of what the community thinks about those portals. And I'm not talking about portals which aren't accessible 24/7 or for a fee like in a park, I talk about portals only accessible to only 1 person. I don't see the logic on that. And company ground, especially if it's heavily guarded, is very privat to me.

Nihilons

Sry, dont like popcorn, I prefer nachos 🤷‍♀️

Nihilons

It's not about 24/7, and if u have to pay to get portals in a Parc, it's my decision wether I'm willing to do that or not. On private company ground I don't have a choice ....

Nihilons

Stats says a lot about players understanding of the game. On prokorovka you have very little choices as a heavy player. My last game on murovanka showed me so very clear how artas destroying this game. I was in a heavy and tried to fight in forest. It's not resolved as fast as you say if enough enemys went there aswell. In this particular game I had to face lots of enemys there and all artas where focusing only me, maybe because of my wn8, maybe because they just can. No other tank was able to land ONLY ONE penetrating hit on me! I couldn't retreat cause of enemy in front of me and even if, artas could still focus me, and after I was killed by only the arta shits that flank fell in seconds, cause my fellow players couldn't hold it. So all my nearly 1.9k HP took the arta shits.

That's on the other side of the murovanka map also the case. You are right, there is a tiny space for maybe one tank max 2 where arta can't hit you. One wrong move or if you want to participate in the game and not sit all game only arta safe behind the hill, arta shits on you. That's what I do if I play arta.

Maybe you just don't have those nice experiences cause arta isn't focusing you, that pretty much answers me the question you refuse to answer. I admit that I only have 2.165 WN8, that's not to good and not to bad to me personally, but seemingly still enough to get focused. I believe unicum players making even worse experiences.

If you don't play extremely passively, sitting in arty safe positions, skypigs can shit on you. And sitting in that arty safe positions denies you most of the time on MOST maps to play the role you should play in a heavy. That doesnt contribute to a strategically interesting and satisfying game play or, as WG claims, to a dynamic gameplay, the opposite is the case.

Nihilons

Sorry, I totally disagree with you and you dont clearly answer the question, you just work your way around a straight answer with common things about the map. So, i still wanna see you dodge hits in a mighty e100 or even is7 on prokorovka. And I wanna see you not avoiding a face to face fight on 8 - 9 line on murovanka, which is pretty stationary, cause oyu can't just drive through if half enemy team is on forest. I'd like to see you do that. On the other side of murovanka, where superheavys usually go, artys can have fun shitting on you all day long. I know that cause I was recently forced to play skypigs due to missions. What's your in game name and what server you play?

Nihilons

What's your WN8? 😜
