OP obviously doesn't remember the days when 40 man gangs jumping through a gate would cause half the fleet to black screen. Don't remember infinitely cycling guns? Unable to turn off overload, hardeners or warp scrams? Where wars could be won by ramming one thousand people on a gate and nobody being able to load grid?

Perhaps OP would also like some other features like dying mid warp, I remember that, that was fun. Perhaps your character remaining logged into a system days after you logged out? I killed a titan with that.

ITT OP has no idea what he's talking about and should go back to being irrelevant.

What does PL know of jumping through gates? Your ships can't use gates.

If you don't like large fleet fights, don't do them. So here's a concrete path and timeline for a remedy for you: don't do large fleet fights if you dislike them so much.




That's all good Tippia but like last week the fight was just over 15 jumps away and us chaps who weren't in it still had to suffer 2 hours of 10% tidi in the constellation over 15 jumps away. Large fleet battles not only affect people in them but ,which for me is the kicker affect people who don't even know there is a battle going on let alone give two hoots other that the fact they can't play to a decent level because someone else, somewhere else is in a large battle.

Personally Tidi for me is the main reason I don't do big fleet battles anymore.

I have removed some rule breaking posts and those quoting them. As always I let some edge cases stay.
Please people, keep it on topic and above all civil!

The rules:
3. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.

4. Personal attacks are prohibited.

Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated.

5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.


Also, for further clarification on how TIDI actually works see this EvElopedia article and this Dev Blog.


I'd like to point out that the OP has breached 3 and 5 and, therefore, should have his thread locked :L

Wonder how many peeps that are left that remember JV1V- and all the other "big fights" during the days of the slide show battles, roll backs and disappearing kill mails...
