Make it so officers can accept any duty state started during an outbreak. The fact that this is even a thing is just borderline ludicrous and ridiculous that only divisional personel can start a duty state during an outbreak. I mean, what point is there to AEGIS who choose to play during infection to stay in-game, if they cannot even do anything? To quote the Chairman - "If you can stand around on a line for thirty minutes at a time, you have patience... You still have the patience to stay in the game and do your job." - this quote was taken from an AEGIS | Tutorials playlist video on his channel, regarding duty states. This is not even a widely-adapted rule, rather an inconvenience to everyone who decides to play during an outbreak. If every AEGIS left, what would be the point in it..?

@minor garnet reactions

#

i agree

hoary quarry
#

@lavish tapir just wondering, is that guy in pfp wearing the disguise glasses/nose

#

stereotypical response would be: join a division

but really, you're not particularly doing a duty, you're standing against a wall, probably afk

as for what happens if all the aegis leave? the wastelanders are still in the server, and they still need curing

if not for the disobedient aegis, and the raiders trying their best to camp any semblance of infection, we would be able to clear the game with ease

hoary quarry
#

not exactly the point, most people are still afking at gates

#

and ya'll just inactive, most of the time there are like 3 ard at max

#

thus it takes ages

#

people shouldn't really be at a disadvantage because you cannot handle something that's in your duties

tranquil wolf
#

its not exactly that we cannot handle it, we handle it just fine, its that performing said job correctly takes time

#

i will also point out that we are a non-combative division, so it should not be a surprise that we dont exactly do well when you throw a raiding onslaught at us

hoary quarry
#

ok then, if you can handle it, why cannot we do duty states?

#

yesterday it was almost an hour with 1 or 2 ard

lavish tapir
#

manty people get on to do duty states

#

and an infection not in their control will not allow them to do a duty state?

#

doesnt make much sense

gilded cipher
#

yk right

turbid zenith
#

ez duty state 🥶
but yeah you are spending your time on the game as an aegis and you cannot make some points out of it, doesnt really seem nice

#

ok, question: if you had already started a duty state prior to the infection, can you continue it or you have to end it

outer gyro
#

you can continue usually

#

as long as the duty state pic is on a post

#

don’t matter, they’ll accept it

#

and ofc if the leaderboard times match up etc etc but that’s not the point

hoary quarry
#

yeah but it's a problem when ard can't handle an outbreak quickly

#

i don't see as to why we should suffer

chilly oasis
#

The main issue is because there isn't enough or no ARD at all to handle infection outbreaks which is why they take so long.

#

Overall I agree with this suggestion. Infection outbreaks are just simply a big waste of time for most AEGIS personal since you just hug a wall in the hanger which can take hours depending on how many ARD are currently in-game which makes staying in the game pointless at that point, unless you happen to do a duty state prior to an infection outbreak.

Bad suggestion

#

Let coded work on faction update

chilly oasis
#

Explain to us, what makes it so bad?

torn saddle

Using proper grammar makes it easier to communicate and understand people. ☝️

#

look

#

u can always start duty states in outbreak

#

just start it

#

and take ur post picture

#

AT A POST

#

yall are actually dumb if you dont know how to do this

paper epoch
#

yes. just have them start it during outbreak but their post picture must actually be at a post

final walrus
#

bro really used aegis tutorials as a quote

#

do you know how much information used today regarding aegis rules or other related stuff is outdated

hoary quarry
#

hey, if it goes with my point, I'll quote anything

#

@gilded cipher i mean, the fact that you guys don't allow us to even do that is kinda the problem

#

plus rikka said it's a thing

gilded cipher
#

i meant like start your duty state without ur duty state post picture

#

once the outbreak ends

#

u can go and take a post picture

#

if its 1 hr long ez

#

2 duty states

#

once the outbreak ends go take those 2 duty state pictures

#

not that hard

livid meadow
#

i agree with what cowgashi said

compact merlin
#

maybe

#

just maybe

#

dont take ur ds picture in hangar

#

🤦‍♂️

hoary quarry
#

that's the point - these things take up a lot of time, and we cannot leave the fucking hangar

#

you will go after us, cuff us or get an SC to jail our asses

livid meadow
#

yyyes sounds about right

hoary quarry
#

you see???

compact merlin
#

use old ds picture

#

if officers dont allow it

#

ss the old ss

#

ez

hoary quarry
#

and even if we reset, there's probably an ARD/PKSF camping the spawn to cuff people

#

like i told one of you recently to let me take a DS pic, ya'll just ignored it and cuffed me to hangar

#

i mean, most of ARD wouldn't understand this since they don't have this stupid restriction

livid meadow
#

we were non-divisional too smh

#

but i’m sure there could be a solution to this

hoary quarry
#

I'd ask how it was to waste an hour in-game standing at a wall while receiving nothing in return, but chances are you never had this.

livid meadow
#

once again i’ve been non divisional at some point

#

not like i joined aegis and became ard

tranquil wolf
#

you do have to be a non-divisional before ard

#

you can't just go from wastelander to ard

hoary quarry
#

right... and that somehow makes it better for non divisionals..?

compact merlin
#

I just use the same ds ss over & over again

livid meadow
compact merlin
#

take ss over ur old ds ss

#

& use it

#

& repeat for newer ds u do

hoary quarry
#

not only are you not addressing the problem, you are now encouraging to fake duty states

#

like bruh

gilded cipher
#

you dont have to fucking leave the hangar, yk just take a picture in the bloody hangar against the wall

#

once the BLOODY outbreak ends

#

you THEN GO TO A POST

#

AND TAKE YOUR SCREENSHOT

#

if you cant do this its literally not our faults that you guys are just wasting an hour in game standing at a wall

#

you could always do duty states in outbreaks

#

u just gotta be smart about it

#

and also if you know its an outbreak and you cant do a duty state just leave

#

whats the point of you staying?

#

after the outbreak just rejoin the game

#

you have 24 hrs in a day

#

lets say 8 hours for sleep

#

2-3 hours for touching grass/meeting with friends

#

4 hours for playing other games

#

you still have like 10+ hours to do 2 duty states

#

both adds up to an hour

#

u dont necessarily have to do a duty state in an outbreak

#

but if u do want to do one

#

u gotta be smart about it

hoary quarry
#

rikka said you cannot start it during one

#

post don't even matter

#

also, why in the fuck would you assume my schedule, maybe I can only get on for an hour or two a day.

#

i don't want to waste the fucking time I have facing a wall

#

and getting nothing in return

#

like there's no fun, at least give us somethin else

#

it's not that different from posting at gates is it

gilded cipher
# hoary quarry rikka said you cannot start it during one

tell me now how are they gonna know you started it in an outbreak? and also they barely enforce these types of shit

  1. im not assuming anyones schedule im just saying out of all 24 hrs in a day you can find at least 30 minutes to do another duty state and if an outbreak happens during that 30 minutes that you have been given then just try another date (you can always do duty states, its not like its a once in a lifetime thing) or do the method i said;

method:
start ur duty state with ur tablist, then after the outbreak ends just take a picture of u standing at a post, if the outbreak doesnt end in 30 minutes, just grab a picture of ur old duty state

im not tryna encourage anything here but like if u wanna start a duty state in an outbreak, just be smart about it

#

if u dont want to waste ur time facing a wall, too bad join a division or just leave the game and spend ur time on another game that gives you fun, you can always come back at a later date/time

#

divisionless posts are boring

#

yk why?

#

its encouraging you to join a division

#

if you dont want to join a division

#

then thats not really our fault is it?

chilly oasis
# gilded cipher tell me now how are they gonna know you started it in an outbreak? and also they...

Because hugging in the hanger isn't a considered a post so even if it happens in an outbreak or not they probably will most likely not accept it. And don't use the excuse "Just join a division" as it's simply a half decent way of solving the problem and It's stereotypical as well. Many more people will continue to complain about fact that outbreak take way too long to finish and it's simply just a waste of time for most AEGIS Personnel since they don't benefit from staying in an outbreak of too long.

gilded cipher
#

well theres no other solutions if you dont wanna waste ur time facing a wall during an outbreak

#

if u complain about an outbreak taking too long to stop, why not join a division and help the efforts

#

even if you guys were allowed to roam around the facility

#

and not face a wall

#

what good will you serve?

#

you cant go out into the wasteland

#

and if you get infected with the infection

#

it just prolongs the outbreak even more

#

none of u can handle the raiders as well

#

thats why yall are complaining theyre p2w

#

so what good does a divisionless serve during an outbreak?

#

"just join a division" is literally a solution to this problem, infact

#

the only solution

#

so
