Cross faction intolerance?


Ad Astra

 

Posted

So since GR I've mainly been tooling around Praetoria and running Tip Missions to get my characters where I want 'em with what I want them to have access to.

I've seen a couple comments here and there, though, about one side or another taking issue with cross-faction ATs in their teams. ("You got redside in my blueside!" "You got blueside in my redside!") From small quibbles like Blue players complaining about Mastermind pets, to Red/Blue ATs not getting buffs in opposite-faction teams.

O_o; Is this turning out to be a consistent thing anywhere, or is this just a few people taking things too far?

That seems crazy. I can at least understand it in actual blue/red content, but in Praetoria, it's not even coherent.

Some people take games way too far. I've not had any problems aside from the standard "MM pets get in my way" (which is as common redside as blueside.) If I were you, I'd one or two star them and not team with them.

Oh, no, I haven't heard it in Praetoria.

Sorry if I wasn't clear - it wasn't me that experienced it, as I haven't been in position to yet. XD; It's comments I've seen from both people on here and in game.

I can't say that I have seen any of what you describe here on the forums - which ones? That seems a bit odd.

I haven't played enough recently to have any observation in-game.

I saw some differences in playstyle, possibly faction-based, earlier today. It seemed like the "villain way" (everyone can more or less take care of themselves and a team looks a lot like "eight people soloing with some extra buffs") was clashing with the "hero way" (someone's on point and everyone should in theory stay together and support each other.) It may have just been that the blueside brute with 700+ badges did not have TIME for people who couldn't take care of themselves, but there were a couple-three very tough guys on the team going really fast, and everyone else got roadkilled a lot. The team should have had enough control/protection/whatever that everyone could stay alive, but it didn't play out anywhere near that way.

So you think you're a hero, huh.

Why would anyone still be complaining about this? We've had cross-faction content since Issue 10 with the Rikti War Zone revamp.

People are dumb.

This one off the top of my head. Plus, like I said, I've seen a few comments here & there in-game. And I think someone was talking about Masterminds .. SOMEWHERE on the forums, but damned if I can remember where off-hand.

It is, indeed, quite dumb, but I was just curious if anyone had seen anything else themselves.
