I get that some folks are there to datamine and make some quick cash, but that 10x info boost isn't free, y'know... we were getting some pretty heavy hate messages after killing some miners.


Hah, we had a lot of the same yesterday. We killed a few people farming away and I find it quite ironic that they complain about being killed in a PvP enabled construct.

Admittedly, it bugs me when someone notices that you're fighting a data mining spawn and ganks you.

But if you're just tapping a regular node, you can stop, drop, and roll into combat pretty easily.

Which has nothing to do with acting a fool cause someone won't sit still and let you gank them 8/1 SMILEY<img mce_tsrc=" width="15" height="15" />

 Instead of complaining on DN1 for whatever purpose do what Mave does and just say, "Learn to root noob."  LOL!

On the flip side:

From those of us who dislike PvP - I hate it.

1. You give a free ticket for ppl to be pvp a-holes to others ...nice going RB and gang.  Thanks.
2. When you die, you reconstuct in the normal Matrix - w/ full Rez sickness - *CENSORED*? Uhm ... yeh that helps ... not.
3.  Ppl like to attack you when your already busy with NPCs spawned from nodes ... nice ... more examples of ppl being jerk-offs.
4. Thanks for giving the CQ farmers an excuse to harrass ppl to get those stupid CQ points.
5. Thank you RB and Gang for catering to the likes of a small group of players (Super Secret Club).  The rest of us don't appreciate it and still feel sort of left out.

I guess I'll have to wait a few months for the novelty to wear off.  And then it will be empty like the other battlegrounds and THEN maybe I'll find it 1/2way tolerable.

No sir ... I don't like it.

And I am sure you all are going to flammen me out for this because you're all so in love with it.  You all go have fun ... I'll wait till you all get bored with it and then I'll give it another try.  Perhaps I might like it better if I was a tad better at some PvP.  I do admit it is my weakness because I NEVER was a PvP gamer.  If someone/s would like to help me learn more PvP - IN a friendly setting - I would appreciate it very much.  But not like this!!

Unfortunately no one can be told how pvp works...  you have to do it for yourself.


In all seriousness. Thats the whole idea behind the construct. You wanna get rich? Go datamine in the datamine construct, but be warned, its extreamly dangerous. Its a gamble, the danger is part of the fun. If you don't wanna pvp, then don't. Load up master shadow and be as hard to catch as you can. But if pointing a data tap at a ball of light over an over until your eyes bleed is all it takes to get you excited, then by all means, wait for everyone to go away so that you can play DTO (Data Tap Online)

I'll lay out how normal combat goes, as a Sniper versus a Master Shadow.

Me: Line up the Shot. Sniper Shot.

Them: Master Shadow.

Me: *sigh* Conceal.

Them: Starts tapping data node again.

Me: Line up the Shot. Sniper Shot.

Them: Master Shadow.

Me: *sigh* Conceal.

etc.

That 20sec reuse timer on MS is a real pain...

While I don't think that there should be a way to disable Master Shadow (I mean... it DOES drain 25 IS every 5 seconds or something AND anything other than Hyper Jump will cause you to loss MS) I wouldn't mind if they increase the cooldown inbetween uses. It certainly makes it just the more challeging.

For those of you that complain about it, yes I can see where you are coming from. I HATE getting ganked, and I'm not the biggest PvPer around. If you knew me, you would know that I avoid PvP unless apart of an event, and even then I try to avoid combat. But with Datamine, it's a lot more interesting and fun because you are trying to get money out of it. Before, it was just CQs. Now in a sense, your PvPing for the right to farm $info. I find it fun and exciting. Plus, you'll always have to be on the look out.

And there is one building that I know of that people can enter and that is the building with the Helipad on top of it. While I wish more buildings could be entered, this one building makes things either a lot easier to avoid death or a lot more difficult.

Finally, TC Death Squad was first started by Iovai I believe. I just started spreading it around. SMILEY<img src=" width="15" height="15" />
