I really don't appreciate that you continue to lie that you were AFK or that you "didn't do anything". I thought we had this sorted in DMs but at this point you can wait out your 3 days for continuing to perpetuate the lie. Quite the opposite, you attacked ME while I was afk and proceeded to start beating me, saying it was a "misclick my bad" And not only did several tickets come in from House and VT that you kept attacking people, I watched you (it's hard to see in the screenshot below) as VT left the Vault and you proceeded to just start punching them when none of them were doing anything to you. None of these points were you "afk". You claimed it was a joke, that you didn't know randomly attacking people was a form of rdm, etc. And now you claim complete ignorance that you have no clue what happened or why you were banned. I agreed to reduce it to 1 day because you reached out but seeing you completely 180 and lie is not at all appropriate. @REAL jopperiTry not to mindlessly agree to everything you see, have some agency, yeah?

It say 34 DR, but functionality it adds 10 DR. At face value, if it was REALLY was 34 DR, I should be invincible when I put it on my 70 DR armor set, making it 104 DR. But as raids against Unity, WBOS and Legion demonstrate, we are not stronger than the Legatus. Again, this is just face value. The VT's who wear padding are not invincible and that should be your first hint it's not that it's not 34. The misconception is that people think the accessory stacks with the armor, so you think it's 70 + 34 = 104. But it's not. It applies it after. I don't know the exact math behind it, but this was confirmed in testing both before and after the armor fix. You don't have to believe me or Solar, but believe the dev who coded it. Solar continues to claim it literally provides 34 DR, it doesn't, it provides 10dr, it just states 34 because it's an accessory and the math for accessories work differently evidently.

We do look at upvotes and downvotes actually, we just keep in mind forum flag ups to specific topics or people will downvote topics made by specific people, no matter how good or bad the idea actually is.

This should be in discussions not suggestions, and there is a actual poll feature you could have done

Okay but, that doesn't address from your end the litany of inaccuracies and misstatements. "It's 34 Dr!" "It's really not" "you're a fucking retard, don't ever balance anything" isn't very productive or constructive. If you don't really have a real counter to what I'm saying then it just goes to show you're really not here to have a constructive conversation on how to balance it, especially for other staff council members or Staff members who might be reading this. Additionally, this may not be your intention but it comes off as very two-faced to leave that VC amicably with me to only then absolutely berate me over that topic here on the forums. I hope you do not do this with other people. And the funny thing with the Legion's armor stats is that it's a council that decides it ultimately, as I have said time and time again, and so it was altered from what was PROPOSED by toaster. If some of the armors are downright useless by all means, request a stat change on them and that can be looked into. Lastly, everyone who has downvoted, majority are not even in VT so once again you're incorrect and continue to make misstatements.

Disinformation and rumors-spreading don't help anyone. It was removed from F1 and it was all reclaimed. If any VT has it, it will be reclaimed like the rest. The PA still exists, but like a bunch of legacy sets on server, it is no longer being utilized. Again, you are making a lot of assumptions, it seems to be a common trend. I am an advocate for consistency, whether we choose to remove all PA headshot hitboxes or add it to all existing PA's, I want consistency, and I even said PA might receive a buff if it becomes an issue, but you conveniently left that out of your response as you cherry pick mine in DMs, not very nice. And you are correct, I am doing this specifically to better VT. You caught me, every decision I ever make in SC is to only strengthen VT, whether it be to give 6 new armors to Legion, update outdated rules, or give radman to all of COA's armors, or trying to get dev's on NCR's broken fortification system, it is all to benefit VT, in the same way this decision was done purely to benefit VT. That's all I ever think about and every decision of mine is only thinking of VT, that's why Unity reworks are in talks (VT's biggest enemies) and they have received buffs from me as their overseer, it's only because it will benefit VT. (This is a joke, I'd really prefer it if you strayed from this POV). An important aspect of balance is RP. House gets the strongest robot whitelist on the server because they do not fight often. They do not create outposts to harass other factions, they do not mug, they do not camp outside faction bases or send out patrols to ambush their foes. They are defensive. VT is the same way. VT does not go out of it's way to create hostiles (unless it's the select few like ghouls/mutants that our purist RP dictates) so 90% of factions who are hostile with VT, is because they chose to attack VT, not the reverse. When VT hits yellow or green on the occasion, it's not to go out and start camping faction bases, you know what VT does in their time? Gamble, set up shops to sell food/drinks, maybe be racist to the ghoul or two. That's something that almost all SC way back in 1.0 to now understood about VT and it still stands true today.

Some things to consider: -VT don't have the cryothrower, it's weird to complain about something that doesn't even exist. -The only other gun you're missing is P90, and that thing is really meh so I can see why you forget VT has it, VT forgets VT has it. -The 34 DR riot padding is really 10 DR. It says 34 because the math is different. When it was originally 10 DR, it only gave 1 DR in practicality, so yeah. -VT DID trade out it's PA's with the exception of the FL for the riot padding. I know it looks scary up front because if it's put on officer armor it can reach up to T-51, but it does not confer any PA benefits in fearRP, Infinite AP, tranq protection or broad shoulders. Comparatively speaking, VT lost out on fielding 4 T-45s, 2 T-51s and 1 T-60 a month like almost every other faction on the server. VT can't even reach T-60 whatsoever and VT's stock of the riot padding is significantly less than the some 7 PA's VT could field previously, so VT IS weaker overall from that trade out. Not to mention it has one very glaring weakness that I won't reveal, but it completely negates the padding's protection. -VT has stealthsuit, but it's officer only. Meaning it's fielded to less than 5 dudes. Placing riot padding it on will not make it 89 DR, It would make it 65dr -10sr. Stronger than most stealthsuits? Sure. But it's not infinite like PLA's nor is as mass fieldable like Unity whitelist or PLA with it as a non-officer armor. -VT has gambling stuff because they live on the strip and that was an arrangement made with house FL as well as SC, so I don't see why that's a point of contention. -VT doesn't have a research boost. It has a research item the GECK, which VT has in limited stock and has to pay to use it (meaning VT only really use it on big projects, they don't apply it to everything like FOA/WT/TT bonus) and the bonus applies to very specific fields (tech/agri/etc), so it's not as impressive as you might think. Hope this clears up any misconceptions.
