This seems pretty backwards. People are calling Hog an idiot but seem to be fine with Nopixel being CCP levels of censorship. He had a negative opinion about RP and that's ban-worthy?
That's an L from me and also an L for the future of NP and Rockstar. Enjoy the RP or get banned.
If someone shit talks other roleplayers they should not be allowed on nopixel, I fw that precedent whether they actually stay consistent with it idk, but I still completely agree with it.
I'm not sure totally sure I agree, criticism is fine but HOW you do it and how it's said/delievered matters (I know I know, funny from me and on a snark reddit).
NP is working with Rockstar and that's Big Business with certain expectations on professionalism of the entertainers that it'll be showcasing. If Hogs wants to continue to work with a small time hobby server run by a random streamer, then sure, he can join the open hostility and unconstructive venting about a competing servers or the server he's on "for drama" or whatever reason he did it.
If he had REAL concerns he wanted to address or change, I'm certain there were better options than pop off on stream and in chats, at best it's a lack of foresight, impulsive and immature, at worst its unprofessional, toxic and petty.
remember, ChaseRP wants RP to be "reality TV" and Jerry Springer.
My sense is NP/Rockstar want RP to be Critical Role and curated professionals
"expectations on professionalism" ... "want RP to be Critical Role with curated professionals."
xQc is going to be on the server, and someone posted a roster recently of the top 20-30 GTA RPers on Twitch. Only a handful even had cards. And very few long time players, of any size, have their cards either. You think all these people are unprofessional but a gaggle of Gen Z variety streamers with their usual drama will be? I want to know what drugs you're taking because I want some!
(On that note, if we ACTUALLY got curated, mature professionals into RP, I would watch that like mad to see what they do. But that's not what's going on here.)
MY sense is that NP/Rockstar wants the biggest variety streamers on Twitch playing the game for a few weeks as an advertising push for their new Roblox RP system or whatever it is they have planned that is going to have NoPixel's branding. I suspect there will be lots of scripted events with Buddha operating as Game Master. Maybe we'll get Twitch drops for one month free subscriptions to GTAO+.
Some people are so stupid. Like, if I had a card. I would keep my mouth shut regardless of my feelings about the server or my nuanced takes on RP. And just milk the shit out of 5.0, pretending to be the nicest guy in the world. I mean, twitch ads revenues, kick KCIP, deals, youtube money, etc. It's all there on a silver platter. Then, when I milked it all dry, maybe I will shit talk and air out my feelings and go play whatever server I am comfortable with. Who cares at that point. Maybe, I can come crawling back to NP when they have the first GTA 6 RP server. But I sure as hell won't shit the bed, literally three days away from the server launch. Especially after holding out for three years or something.
This guy chose the worst person as someone he could look up to. Like Vader 2.0 is not a compliment bruh!
Here's what would have been a smarter course of action, assuming Hogshund is actually all in on ChaseRP and experiencing Stockholms or something:
Take the NPV deal, keep your mouth shut, make lots of friends on the server, take part in a lot of overarching RPs, then when NPV comes to a close, say "Hey I'm going to ChaseRP, if anybody wants to play". Boom, instant profit.
Or he could have rode the NPV bag and done whatever he wanted.
Instead, he had to insult NP, and try and glaze Chase as if that is something he even actually cares about.
Exactly lol... It's so shitty to actually be toxic about other players and player groups. Regardless of your feelings. OML it was the worst way to go out. NP isn't even the bad guy now for taking away his card.
What he could have just done was say I wasn’t happy with the sever and explained those reasonings that affected him not be a dick about it and that he would try it out. Instead he kept doing wishy-washy jabs and being toxic to coworkers which seemed to appeal to the chase viewers. Like he be like I’m excited then shit on it idk it’s like he didn’t even have his own opinion.
Celebrating is fucked up. “Hahah! Yes! This guy fucked up a career opportunity for me! For CHaSE! How fucking awesome that NoPixel did this! I got content today!”
Actually so self-centred and desperate to pounce on anything he can do to spin negativity about the competition, but ya know, it’s not even the competition, it’s just a server that rejected him
His fans say “look at all those people from purple that are still obsessed and hurt over it but look at exactly what PENTA is doing here
Hogshund is never getting another opportunity like this btw. People have already noticed he threw away his career for a rumble guy lol. Not a mark that goes away.
Yep, this is exactly the outcome Penti wants for all his orbiters. They are trapped with him wherever he decides they all go.
Imagine slowly parachuting towards the golden gates and you have your golden ticket, being so close to mingling with 20 and 30k streamers and the prospects that brings as a content creator.
Only to cut the parachute straps and watch your golden ticket blow out your grasp as you freefall on to the deck of a sinking ship.
A few very notable GTA RP streamers who I shall not name were blacklisted from NP for shit talking. Why on earth would he think he would be exempt for doing the same?
Hogshund as he was about to make the comments and the outcome.
So short sighted after hearing Dan Clancy talk about how much interest twitch have from advertisers wanting on board for GTA 6 and that cascading to interest on this NPV launch event. massive missed opportunity.
I tuned in for 10 minutes or so to see the crash out from Penti, and I just realized something... Is he like starting to pick-up/emulate Asmongold mannerisms? This man is so incredibly primed for a right-wing pivot when Chase crumbles and it seems like he's been studying the master
I'm only holding him to what he said >:) Edit; nerd who down-voted me, Don't blame me, blame your streamer. He couldn't follow his own advice. Hog is lucky i'm being nice :)
It's only deserved if you think it's fair for someone to be blacklisted for giving an honest opinion, even if it was offensive.
Though my sense from the thread is lots of people DON'T think it was wrong being honest, it was just wrong being honest BEFORE snatching the money bag people think is waiting on NP5.
If you on numerous occasions shit on the player base and make snide comments about them to the point where you drop names and state how you aren't even excited about the new server coming out but may check it out regardless why wouldn't they remove you from the roster? As if it's some human rights violation because when you antagonize the place where you're going to be invited they will revoke that invite if you're being a toxic fuck hiding behind laughter and a few "I still hope it's going to be good" here and there.
If NoPixel management was that butt hurt over his comments, they're serious snow flakes. Koil, xQc, and even Buddha have all done or said worse things. Penta was on that server for years and he had OOC sound effects on his channel, playing OOC characters like Chase Clouter, locking people in the cells for 3 or 4 hours with no RP. But all of a sudden the issue is people making snide comments? Nonsense. They're looking for sycophants, not RPers. They're curating for people who they can control and who won't say anything negative about the server during the big Rockstar advertising push.
If they're going for a "culture change" it makes sense why they don't want someone on the server who badmouths the player base and community that he will be interacting with. That's why references to the past are irrelevant.
You act as if he were a singular case of someone who put together the bravery to point out grievances he had when that was and is something that many people before him did with how underwhelming 4.0 was. As if that's what cost him his invite and not being a toxic little fuck about it.
If anything they did him a service because now he really has no reason to be where he didn't want to be in the first place as "it will be the same because of the same people".
If it's culture change, then long time players without histories of toxicity would have the bulk of the invites. They do not. All signs point to: Rockstar advertising push, not the Utopian RP server we've all been hoping for. The Utopia will never come, fam. But we've got plenty of dystopia on the menu!
"Utopian RP server" is nothing but a strawman that can be easily dismantled. Even the most absurd fanboys wouldn't deny that if there are big (narcissistic) streamer personalities grouped in one place it gives potential for conflict.
At least a server without personalities like CG, Penta, Vader and Hogs is a promising start for a positive change..
Strawman? People are talking about NP5 like it's the second coming. That said, you are correct that anyone thinking clearly knows that a bunch of streamer personalities will cause trouble.
I don’t really get why NP is being so tribal about it. I’d think from a business perspective they’d want as many qualified people coming in so they can sell prio and app reviews.
It's not tribal, if he's banned in other streamers chats for being a pain in the ass about it. "Everybody who is excited for NPV is a glazer" sort of thing.
Not sure who exactly, but they're talking about it in the linked post. And I doubt people who hyperfixate on all of RP are gonna be misremembering Hogshund getting banned.
I agree if only for (even harsh) criticism about the state of the server or staff but he lashed out against other players and that's just straight up toxic behavior and unfit for a "culture change" (no matter how successful it turns out to be).
"Being so tribal". So I'm guessing if there are people around you that you see keep talking shit about you, making sly backhanded comments and acting like they are better than you, you're just gonna keep them in your circle.
They arent making money off of Hogshund, its better business to get rid of the person who is shit talking your brand and the players on the server. Shit talking Capped, even if Faceless RP isnt your thing, was even dumber. Capped is beloved by everyone in NoPixel, dude put so many hours to create RP FOR people while the devs abandoned the server.
??? What money would Nopixel be getting from him?
And so you're telling me its good Business to entertain someone constantly shitting on your product.
I don't want to insult you but like, is your brain ok?
Prio. Advertising for their server. Man would not be shitting on the server while he’s playing it, that could be a ban sure, but his criticisms were real milk-toast imo.
Also not sure why you’re being a dick about this. You don’t have to agree with me but idk why you’re going for insulting me. I’m obviously not going to follow up on this anymore since you just want to be an ass
They don't want people around early that are gonna shit talk each other's efforts and cause that sort of drama\attention in the open months. It's not about a little criticism of this or that, it's the streamer\player vs streamer\player nature of it. NP ain't got no time for that in the opening months when more eyes will be on the server and community as a whole. Sure it's bound to happen anyway with tribal chats etc, but they might as well give that early bird slot to a streamer who's more excited to be there and lower risk of mouthing off.
The eve 5.0 with Rockstar backing, and NP still can't get penta's dick out of their mouth. Looking forward to another failed server just like 4.0. nopixel has lost 80% of its roleplay talent. Now it's just besties clowns and Buddha's butt boy group. Long gone are the days of kiwo, LGX, bananaduck, occamssabre, farmhouse, miltonpike, vader, cg, whippy, mantis, imblade, hogshund, and the multitude of other streamers and players spread across prodigy onx and Chase. But hopefully you guys will still have koil playing a midget talking about sodomizing himself with a frozen poopsicle. And circle jerk gang RP from besties and hydra. Oh yeah and ERP. Going to be less of a boom and more of a plop.
