Open World Tagging mechanic

[Shunziji]

Hey all,

 

i hope for humanity sake that i am not the only/first one to suggest this but i had to say.

 

Wouldn't it be a LOT easier for everyone if the simple option of refusing to join a battle on the Open World when you are not either the attacker or the target was implemented ?

 

Seriously... There are so many posts about complains in the forum, i sometimes feel like it's the only thing there is. I am not a developer, i can barely install mods so i am far from familiar with the hard work behind a video game but a Yes / No button in a pop up window sounds kind of child play to me. That would solve so many troubles... 

 

You guys have a good one, keep up the good work.

As much as I would like to agree with being able not to be pulled into someone else's battle the fact is without this mechanic being able to intercept fleets/squadrons would be all but impossible. Just the guy getting hit  would be pulled in as sacrifice and the others would move on.

POTBS worked more like that and it's kind of a mess. I actually prefer this game's system of just dragging everyone in.

 

The only change I really want is to see a flashing "ATTACKING" symbol over the head of anyone that's starting an attack. I don't need to know who they are attacking or need to see the circle, but if I could at least see that an attack is going off, I could know to move away (or towards) them.

 

 

The only thing I don't like is having a battle drag me in when I had no way to even know one was about to occur.

Yeah, it makes sens. And Yeah, POTBS was a frustrating mess.

 

How about a safety for PvE tags ? The World versus World explanation makes total sens. Would it be viable to implement this when it comes to PvE ?
