It's from this - and it's explicitly on what EQU8 allows and does not allow....which is why JC specifically talks about the limitations of EQU8 in the livestream and why it's physical vs just running extra clients or virtual machines...

If you're going to punish for exploits, you punish for all exploits. Not some exploits. The whole point is a fair and level playing field. I'll be cheering NQ on if they start punishing, exploiters through resets or temp bans or perm bans - all exploiters. Not just the ones that got some players butthurt by taking their ship. Else it turns very much into - well what it actually is - as long as the exploit just benefits you without harming someone directly and obviously else NQ doesn't do anything about it.

Seriously though, they need to get lots of other features sorted first. I really hate how they worded territory pvp item as well. "- Final safe-zone definition" is listed as a line item for it - I hate that. It should be defined already. Asteroid mining is needed because frankly the mole man mechanic is tiresome and is burning people out. Energy managment needs to come before territory pvp. pvp rebalancing should come as part of that Then all the voxel tools and graphics Then avatar pvp AND atmo pvp Then once all that crap is working and balanced, you can turn on territory warfare. PvP needs to be well balanced and thought out before it become a major part of the game and it's going to be a major task - lots of other things can and should be done first.

It's not a case of 'supported' it's a case of priorities. I didn't vote for Territory PvP because I do not believe to be a higher priority. I want asteroid mining first.

1:21 - it should be spooled up in that link to that point. I do agree that clarity of communication has not been NQs strong suit - not even remotely - not just in this case but pretty much everything

I'm going to laugh myself to death if sheilds come with a shield engineer chair where some poor guy has to sit in to make shields work and play some cheesy minigame.....

Except it wasn't clear - which is why it was brought up to JC in the livestream where he explained that it was an EQU8 limitation rather than NQ policy....

It's literally linked in the OP. https://youtu.be/ai3Kk37ntgg?t=4744

What nonsense is this? Uhh...so like...uhh...that's uhh....well...uhh...literally how it works?

Then I wish OP the best of luck in reaching out to NQ support to be told to find a bucket, fill it with sand, and pound it.

You need to pay attention. He was talking about running on the same pc vs a second physical. The current limitation is EQU8 which prevents multiple instances on one machine and also freaks out on virtual machines which is why JC was specific about PHYSICAL machines. That is what they will one day look into - but until then physical machines are OK.

Why yes I do think that it is reasonable to ask questions of the creative director and ceo of NQ during his live stream events and ask him to clarify policies which is exactly what happened during the stream linked above and the stream that I linked to you over and over. JC has the final say on the game. Because it's HIS GAME. Literally everybody else works for him.

This is all true but to be fair it is MUCH easier to find in T2+ ores on planets outside the safe zone. With that said, the planets themselves are pve and you can get there with a warpdrive thus avoiding pvp entirely so it is accurate to say that currently nothing is locked behind pvp except pvp.

I will take what JC says as gospel vs what anyone besides JC posts - everyone NQ- is his subordinate and JC is the ultimate source of policy when it comes to the game.

Sure but the pvp balance has nothing to do with multiboxing. I've posted extensively on how broken pvp is and I'm no fan of the current meta. The point is that multiboxing a pilot and gunner is much worse than having 2 actual players. Most who do multibox do so to engage in a passive activity like camping, traveling, scanning and an active activity like mining at the same time - at the cost of having 2 PCs and 2 accounts. Many have multiple accounts as is that they do not use at the same time. I have 3 accounts but only have ever played two at the same time and never to pilot and gun because that would put me at a massive disadvantage vs a real crew. On the other hand mining while essentially AFK camping is pretty nice.

You should always ignore view points you don't agree with and can't argue with. Easier to just dismiss them as trolls - that way you win the internets.

It's ablelist against people who have no friends. This was an unironic argument used in Worlds Adrift by solo players who were constantly ganked by groups....

This is so unbelievably stupid. It's as stupid as solo players complaining that they have no chance against groups of players. Finally the primary use case of multiboxing isn't pvp directly but being able to mine on your alt while your pvp alt is stuck on a ship idling or playing an alt as your main is flying between planets. Nevermind that regardless of if NQ allows or prohibits multiboxing - it's impossible to detect so no matter what NQs stance on it was, it would still happen. As I've had to say way way way too many times on this forum - deal with it.

Allow doesn't mean support. You're welcome to take this 'legally binding contract' to a court of your choice - best of luck.

False. PvP is locked behind PvP areas.

Wow you're super salty about this. You already reported me for multiboxing which I do by my own admission. If I'm wrong I can't wait to be banned. Till then I'll keep paying for 3 accounts. I wouldn't hold your breath for my imminent ban though.....

You want something more official than what J.C. Baillie said? Really? Ok buddy....

You should really really really watch some of JCs streams and see what his inspirations for DU are and what his background in gaming is. Your vision of DU is not in line with the vision of DU of the creative director and owner of NQ.

JC clearly said that he's multiboxed in EVE and only anticheat prevents it currently. Physical boxes are fine. This isn't even a discussion. This is explicitly stated by JC as permitted on different physical machines.
