I've been playing the game for a little over a week now and this IMO is the most annoying issue I have come across.

Scenario -

I'm in between missions. I plot a course to the next system on my list, walk away to grab a drink, and return to my ship getting ****-pounded because it got automatically dropped into a DSE on the way. I can't warp out until I either fight them all off or my ship blows up.

It will also happen while I'm sitting in front of the machine. I'm tooling along my merry way and BAM - I'm in some unseen DSE. And I seem to always get the added bonus of being dropped right in the middle of a whole damn squadron.



This needs to be changed. Seriously.

Agreed, its annoying as all hell, have them limited to smaller areas and not able to get you as soon as you leave an instence ...

when you are leaving the keyboard just alt+tab to desktop. That way you can not die within DS-encounters.

LOL I love it.


not only does it make traveling interesting, but dangerous.

I would love to hear my bridge officer screaming

"Captain Kingon Warbird d-clocking!. wtb voice over please.


yes its annoying, but its awesome at the same time. the only thing I ask is less 20 on 1 fights. more 1v1 or 2v1 fights at equeal lvls.

i have to agree, I am now scared to go grab a drink for fear of being overrun by romulans...

and whats even more annoying are the 20+ warbirds and escorts that seem to know where i'm warping in.

this does need changing.

It's been said, but alt-tab before you leave the keyboard. When you come back, you'll be on a screen telling you to press any key to enter (and it'll say Deep space encounter..). You won't be in the encounter till you hit any key. Or click.

'Worse is that even if you are there, you have to negotiate a menu of options, which "continue exploring" is not what it sounds like. Then you have to confirm for a second time that you want to leave ASAP. I've been reduced to 20% hull in that time. Having a full squadron sitting at the warp in point is just rude and if you are going to put in a death penalty then that can't be allowed to remain.

Also since no one talks, being dumped into a battle situation with total utter strangers results in death quite often. To the point I hardly see the point of going into the encounter assuming I have that option and it didn't ambush me.

Make the options simple: "Join the engagement." and "Helm, get us out of here." Don't ask to confirm a clear choice. Just that single option because in a Tier 1 ship in the wrong place you may not live long enough to warp out anyway.

Theirs is a 3rd option...RUN had to do this once today dam near lot me.

All thats needed is to code in a 30K away from any enerny when you warp in? Or a 10 sec window where you can't take damage to move away?

I wouldn't mind so much about it all, if there wasn't the flagship above me as i warp in, or that I have to wait 5 min for anything to happen that matters, and even then its 50/50 if i get and points for it once iv completed it.

Oh yeah, it's annoying.

In EQ2-for example, when I put myself on auto run through the zone, then when I got up and grabbed a drink or went to the washroom and a random group of mobs aggroed me. I GOT ****ED.

I posted a "WTF Sony! Why cant I auto run/AFK and get to my destination without dieing!?" thread right away.

I even submitted a ticket to customer support on why I couldn't AFK my way through the zone. But I guess Sony is like Cryptic at EPIC FAILS, cause I haven't received a response to it yet...

/shrug


(btw- you can warp back out to sector space even whilst dead.)
