EVE Information Portal

THIS! THIS! and so much THIS!
Sorry that I have shortened your post. You are right with your whole post but I wanted to underline your argumentation which fits perfect to my current opinion.

I do not like the crappy idea that every one who writes something CCP's official HELP -CHANNEL gets an bounty from any idiot with 100k ISK. I once was a helper in such a channel. But now I am gone. Not only gone out of the channel.. OUT OF THE GAME CCP!

The whole post from Lord Thingol can be found here. Give this guy your likes please.

Blame the Engineer on 2nd Deck who is using their cell-phone to download the latest game while you are Taxiing out of the station, thus causing interference in your electronic sensors.

Then, take 2 aspirin and call CCP in the morning.

This has probably been said many times before, but please get rid of the circles around targetted ships.

When I lock seven ships with my Ishtar, it feels like I am tripping on acid; playing space darts.

The new activation timers are WORSE than they were before.

God, I feel like I'm stabbing myself in the **** every time I activate a module, it's so painfully laggy and jerky.
Please, for the love of god, change it back.

I want the Dev's that respond to threads back. Are they still on Holiday?

So I'm actually starting to get tired of the NPC Tracking Disruption issues now.
I'm once again logged out and reading the forums just looking at all the complaints about it and the lack of anything back from CCP since their last fix.

Once again here are the issues:

Sansha NPC ships apply their Tracking Disruptor effects while not using their Tracking Disruptor's (Reported to be Battleship NPC's)

More than one NPC TD cripples almost all turret based ships, some anomalies and missions have up to ten applied at once.

NPCs will stop applying the effects for about three to four seconds before just starting a new cycle, this doesn't give enough time to kill anything before crippled again.

NPC Tracking Disruptor's reduce optimal+falloff of guns way under NPC established orbits. (10+20range with NPC's at 40-60)

CLICK HERE for a picture showing the effects of two NPC Battleships. Not that along with these range decreases tracking is reduced greatly as well, getting a good strike is still very hard.

NPC Tracking Disruption Feedback - My thread about the issues (contains the most examples and feedback)

My Personal gripe is that I live in Providence and just spent months training lasers and Amarr ships because they would be the most well suited to fight their racial enemy. I use a Nightmare with max skills and tracking mods and am still finding it almost impossible to make any money from anomalies.
I resorted to trying to belt rat the other day and had to give up because one BS had stopped me from hitting anything while it orbited at 50km.

I will agree there are ways around this, the term "adapt" has been thrown at those complaining constantly but that still doesn't solve the fact that there seems to be a very strong issue here with how bad these changes are.
PVE shouldn't be free or EWAR and a breeze but it also shouldn't be smash-face-on-desk annoying either! L4 Missions and Anomalies are the best way for most grunts in EVE to make ISK, those living in Amarr space or Sansha Regions of Null kind of don't have that option with turret based ships any more.

As I stated at the start of this post I'm not actually playing EVE ATM. Most times I'm not online for PVP I will log in, hop in my Nightmare and try to run some anomalies to make ISK. It will go fine enough until I meet a spawn of three BS which keep me locked in a cycle of TD's where I have no option but to just warp away an give up for the day.

So... Is this how things are meant to be? Are there problems which CCP know about and want to change? How long before we can expect to see changes if so? Should I just go a buy a Tengu like everyone else?

The NPC Tracking Disruption is putting me off the game.
I have spent a year getting ready & strong enough to be confident at PvP'ing. But the last patch with the stupid disruptions has basically made lvl4 missions only slightly less enjoyable than running across a motorway at rush hour in the rain.

I thought it fine that I could pay £10 a month & use the time to mission. The missions gave me bounties & salvage that I used to buy ammo, skill books & of course ships. Now i feel that CCP have lost the plot regarding what a computer game is. I mean that it seems that they think EVE should be as unforgiving as real life... (I don't play PC games to be reminded of that)
People talk about why people drop subscriptions to Eve. My view is that once they get to T2 guns, missiles, hardeners & certain ships the mystique & challenge levels out. Then it's PvP time, make isk or fly around being a C... to get tears as there's not much left due to the repetitive nature of the neglected missions.

In general the missile nerf is just illogical when technology is meant to advance & be improved. What Nation has ever decided to replace its more than adequate main front line missile tech with a substandard version

Don't get me started on the repetitive disruption at stupid ranges.....

Eve is a great game but something is not right. I pay to 'Play' when ever i can, if I earn enough iskies to buy a PLEX I class it as a bonus. This is also one of the facts of possible outcomes that attracted people to the game. Now I really think greed has reared is cold dark heart again. I am not going to Buy 2 Time codes every month & use one for game access, the other for isk.
I should be able to to do missions for that isk issue.

When they did these changes they should have at least brought in a new round of skill books to counter the Nerfs. That way those with the relevant SP's in the right areas could boost their skills & get out of the Nerf buy training in the new skills.

PS- Maybe the teams at CCP should move somewhere nice & warm. Then they might have more positive energy for 'Good Ideas'

I'm having the same experience -- module timers suddenly continuing for 1/3 of an extra cycle or more before deactivating properly when before they synced nearly instantly. I've seen this phenomenon before when I was on a high-latency connection but this time nothing's changed on my end. It makes ratting horribly irrating.

when gonna fix the overview to show killrights again?

Maybe the klang sound much important than 300km range target locks from NPC-s or other bugs.
