New/Casual players wanting to form a laid back highsec PvE corp without getting griefed into oblivion does not make them part of some tiny 1%...it's not even a good strawman argument.


Show us on the strawman where the 1% touched you.


Nevermind. We know.


Another typical contribution to the high level of discourse on the eve forums - keep up the good work.


I try, but it grows increasingly difficult to keep up with the horrid mess that spews forth from your keyboard. I can only do so much to keep up.

Stop trying to kill my game.


No one is killing your game. Stop with the hysterical reactions...even if somehow all nonconsensual PvP was removed from highsec (which no one is contemplating) you would still be more than welcome to go shoot people in nullsec.


What about lowsec and jspace? Can I shoot them there too, or is PvP just allowed in nullsec?

No.

In a spaceship PVP game, we should be allowed to shoot spaceships where ever we want. This delusion that High-Sec is to be 100% safe is just silly, and moronic. You want safe, go play another game.

Can someone link the actual presentation.

I would love to know if CCP is actually considering change.

I heard they were going to give sec status improvements for killing noobs under 2 weeks old... But that's not official yet.

Go shoot up the newbie systems and let CCP know your opinions of the matter. Highsec is designed to be lawful, and nonconsensual PvP is a criminal act there.

Citing the one place where pvp is not okay does not validate your opinions regarding the rest of the region.

That's just squirrely nonsense.

Some forms of nonconsensual PvP are criminal acts there. The other forms you personally are opposed to.
If you had your way high sec would be nothing but duels and arenas for pvp and everyone else could happily mine up their iron ore or hunt boars in the forest unmolested.

The rules for PvP in a newbie system are very specific, they don't mean that you can't shoot up a newbie system.

Nope, highsec is designed to be a PvP, of all kinds, area that has different mechanics from those of other space. One of those mechanics is a 100% effective reactive NPC force that punishes unsanctioned aggression.

Non-consensual PvP isn't the crime, not paying Concord off is. Concord are essentially gamekeepers that sell hunting permits and shoot poachers.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

You mean to say you would actually want to harm those innocent boars?

I think both sides of the fence tend to get radical here. No one can deny that the new player experience is incredibly important, and something that CCP must get right. I am not entirely sure how valid these statistics are, or how in-depth CCP went to filter their results... What I can say is the eve online was created in 2003 to be a sandbox where players could interact with each other in ways that would have you banned in other games. Just because someone comes along and doesn't like what eve has been about since 2003 doesn't mean that CCP needs to listen. We all knew what we were joining when we created our accounts, and I would have a hard time believing otherwise.

The acquisition of bacon is of the utmost importance. While I personally don't engage in much player vs boar action, it is necessary that some do in order for the supply to remain steady.

Fanfest 2015 was awesome and I'll be going to Fanfest 2016 to join the fun. Looking at all the twitch streams I noticed one nice presentation by CCP Rise.

Have a look at these 4 slides from this presentation :

One, two, three and four.

CCP Rise says : People who die play longer (Talking about new players in Eve)

Since Marmites is one of the alliances who probably kills most of the players in high-sec (like RvB, Eve Uni, Forsaken Asylum, etc), should CCP be hiring us ? it will keep more newbro's in the game. Blink

Give two examples, please.

Ganking people. White knighting gankers. War decs between evenly matched corps. Being the underdog in high sec wars (got a thing for being the underdog). Ninjaing. Baiting ninjas into using and losing shinies. Growing a corp from the ground up. Destroying rival corps through various nefarious activities. Ratting. NO WAIT... scratch the last one

Yes ganking is a criminal act and sine they neglected to bribe concord they are dealt with by that entity. What's your point? However if you pay off concord like a good law abiding citizen then the non consensual PvP is legal not criminal. Your statement is wrong

No Veers just doesn't buy into your delusional rhetoric that chasing people into npc corps and making highsec socially isolated and boring is somehow good for the game. Good for some lame giggles - sure...good for actually fostering multiplayer play? No way, Jose.

Rookie systems are off limits for a reason, and I think no one dis agrees with that. The rest of Hi-sec though is fair game. There are enough factors in place which make it difficult enough as it is for PVP there. No need to take it away completely just because of a few whiners that can't handle lose.

NO. Veers unsubbing would be a blow to us all. All this opposition to him has galvanized him to continue on in spite of us. Don't you see veers is our proven case study that player harassment/involvement=retention
