Are you and your friends accusing me of telling Gaijin to buy a fleet of AC-130s and drop humanitarian aid packages all over Japan? That’s what it looks like.
I’m not asking the gaijin to REBUILD all the houses destroyed by the typhoon; I’m asking them to extend the event time limit when things like this happen!
Many Japanese players don’t have access to the marketplace because they play on consoles!
Uh, that’s a FUNship.
What you’d want are the cargo variants, the C-130.
Not defending or aiding anyone here, but there is a button just for that.
Game Masters only handle in-game chat, they don’t handle the forum. The moderators also don’t ban or punish others unless you break the rules.
there is only a button to report “normal people” here.
The flag still is seen by Forum Moderators, we don’t have a sort of force-field around us that protects us from scrutiny. Furthermore you can report it to a Community Manager if you feel what was said was offensive and need of a proper review.
What you’ve quoted is more that if your government blocks the internet then they don’t need to refund you your premium.
Or if their servers get physically destroyed by weather or anything that they aren’t liable, or held to a timeframe to bring it all back up.
seems like it covers missing events not as gajins isssue
as it says power outages meaning that its not only servers if its server related that’s on gajin and its “reasonable control” gajin legal team is probably watching right now (of course not) if it doesn’t include natural disasters gajin will change it to include that we don’t want to upset the snail since in the terms it also says gajin can take your premuims… (crazy right)…
The wording in it is clear and your inability to access the service provided being something else other than in Gaijins control, has no effect on them.
The fact of this situation, is nothing to do with them or their services being unable to be provided as they are provided, it’s just these people can’t access them.
yes they cannot access the game due to a storm not on gajins part and its not the whole country meaning gajin doesn’t have to help at all
They have no responsibility to help, or accountability to give any leeway or anything in that same sense as it’s all nothing to do with them.
But in the event that their service is directly impacted by a situation, they aren’t liable or held to a timeline to fix said service because that’s where that clause comes into it.
I also don’t know why but everyone is so for it when it’s Japan but when other smaller countries power go out nobody cares nobody makes a topic they just say “oh well they couldn’t get the event” which is why the terms are useful not to create double standards like when a smaller issue like a regional power outage goes out (like snow hitting Texas) nobody ask questions about the TOS
gajin gives premuim time and event extensions for server issues because they are liable this time the servers for gajin stayed just fine but central japans power went out which gajin doesn’t pay for or maintenance there
think of this as spilling water on a computer and asking the computer company to give you a new one without having a warrenty this is the same but the difference is it couldnt be stopped and no one is liable
I dont think they will help. Gaijin only compensates losses caused on their end like servers and stuff. There are so many tragic events happening in world but gaijin (and other companies tbf) dont provide any compensations. We could discuss how right or wrong this is but thats just how things are unfortunately.
Also I think that f16 and game in general should be last thing you and others should worry about. Survival, fixing consequences of disaster and helping relatives should be top 3 priorities in such cases. Virtual fomo thingy is really not worth it.
That is correct as that was a trouble on thier end.
And this is important.
Indeed, not Gaijins trouble,
Because they don’t have responsibility for it.
Your PCs warranty wouldn’t cover your spillage. (Funnily enough I used to work in a tech room in a major franchise at one point, and we denied SOOOO many warranty fixes…)
You spilt the water, it’s your trouble.
Japan having an emergency is nothing to do with anyone, and it’s not affecting Gaijins service, it’s affecting Japans service to everything.
Are you thinking that because people wouldn’t watch TV due to localised issues that Netflix or those groups should credit you?
The only time I think it’s reasonable to delay or hold it for a country is if, for some hypothetical reason, half a country let’s say the United States has a power outage for about a week. When the event is going to happen in 2 days.
In something like this, it makes sense because it will severely affect their monetary incentive
That’s at least how your initial message was understood by me, I have to admit, yes.
I’m not sure you read my first comment where I clearly stated that my sympathies lie with the people suffering from disaster, but that I find the priorities implied by that thread strange.
Let’s look at it again, you described the damage the disaster caused, and asked for help - but not help actually for the people suffering directly, but for players who because of circumstances surrounding that catastrophe could not finish an ingame event.
That’s how your initial thread looked (at least to me): widespread damage, many people losing their existence - and people worry about an ingame event.
Can you see that people looking at that connection find it strange and shallow?
No, only thing we GM’s are in charge of is moderation of in-game messages. I have zero moderation rights in the forum. Also, our messages need to follow exactly the same rules like everybody else, so, yes, of course you can report me, and if the forum mods think I overstepped, they of course will also sanction me.
Also, my messages are stricly private and have no official character. Being staff doesn’t mean one isn’t allowed to have a personal opinion, but we need of course to follow the rules - actually even more so because of that staff tag.
On the contrary. I think you still completely fail to see the issues we (or at least I…) have with your call for aid:
If you had actually asked for help in the form of humanitarian aid, I wouldn’t have raised an eyebrow. People suffer directly, helping them is absolutely necessary and commendable.
But it’s those that lost their houses, their existence, their loved ones that need help, not the players that miss an ingame event because of this.
you changed your pfp, wow
