HUNTED by CUSTOM MAGIC. (Xxael)

…No?

It’s a clan server. People are regularly hunted for no other reason than infamy and bounty. Their decision to attack the ship was likely motivated out of a drive for infamy instead of a desire for glory gained from killing a custom user. As such, there’s a good chance they didn’t know it was Astral’s ship.

Along with this, the issue has shifted from attempting to figure out if it was self defense into whether or not customs should exist in a competitive environment such as clan servers. Currently, the vote is shifting heavily in favor of them being an abuse of power. After all, if you’re in the #2 clan, you should expect to be attacked for infamy, dev or not.

TL;DR: Neptune > Ravencrest

I don’t think vetex is going to remove customs in clan servers from this 1 event

651

Unlikely, however it’s wishful thinking.

652

it doesn’t matter who hit who first. its just bad game design philosophy to be giving your friends resources no one else has potential to access in a competitive setting.

653

So you guys are angry because you guys dont also have customs in a competitive setting?

654

It’s more towards the fact they’re allowed to exist in a competitive setting. I doubt that anyone here would advocate for everyone in competitive servers to have a custom.

655

i think the problem is the assumption it’s a competitive setting. if they went out of their way to kill people and raise their clan’s infamy, that’d be abusive, but this was
a one time thing,
defending themselves,
generally inoffensive
i don’t think a clan server necessarily means it’s a competitive setting, you just happen to be in a clan so you’re rerouted to different servers. my clan is within the threshold for clan servers but i don’t go about it competitively (granted i’m buns at pvp but regardless i don’t go out of my way to fight people anyway)

ermmm actually astra > ravencrest

658

disappointed because nepotism causing disruption for players who enjoy playing in a competitive setting. Albeit it is a small disruption because not everyone is going to run into astralworks or xxael in a clan server. But for the people that do, they can’t hunt their clan members in the same server, steal islands, steal infamy etc. without getting called a scumbag and proceeding to get steamrolled by two people with customs.

659

theyre in the top #2 clan in the world in a clan server…how is that not a competitive setting my guy

this isnt a “oh my clan just reached the threshold so now im in clan servers” moment

660

They have other people to steal islands from, or better yet, they can change servers.

I think they shoud’ve known they were going to be steamrolled if they attack Ravencrest (even if in a competitive setting whatever that means anymore)

661

This simply means that whoever is at rank 1 (I dont really care about it) is better than the custom mages

662

i think alot of clans are better than goethic but you do you bro

663

in the end its only the infamy that maters otherwise this whole topic wouldnt have sense

664

yeah, this only supports my arguement as to why giving specific players custom magics is terrible.

ravencrest friends of either astral or xxael is given immunity from having their islands captured, being hunted or undermined in anyway because yknow… why bother trying to do any of that if you’re just going to get 2 shot

665

You ain’t getting tester bro

666

They’re wining about dying once to a clan thats #2

Maybe just wait and fight again later???
Or even better find someone else
Or just block parry dodge
