What is this entosis nonsense?

Under what brutal circumstance did you feel that this was a good idea?

You've turned the SOV system into a sad mirror of Arathi Basin, or worse yet Heroes of the storm where defenders offers a pitiful, meaningless resistance to overwhelming odds by delaying the inevitable conquest of sovereignty.

Tonight, TEST, and the, ugh, grossly named 'Moneybadger' coalition took space somewhere I don't care. But the rest forced the CFC into meaninglessly trying to scurry to acquire nodes across a constellation and meaninglessly wage a fight they were going to lose anyway.

You can replace whatever alliance or coalition you want in post, it does't matter.


Who was in charge of this gross nonsense. I would have preferred to drop dreads on towers and grind for half a day to re-inforce the SOV like it used to work compared to this.


This is gross. Change it Fozzie. Don't worry, you can admit you're wrong like Greyscale was ham-handedly forced to admit his defeat over his brutal 0.0 anom system down the line.

Just don't wait that long.


A load of vets are coming back and we're all basically grossed out over the direction you're taking.

I get the theory. I truly do, and I'm sure it sounded great on paper. But it's trash of the highest order.

No system in EVE has ever been perfect, but no system should ever offer a regression in fun or eventfulness.

I hoped I, and my contemporaries had set CCP down a path towards making the game more enjoyable but I have clearly failed.

So what is your actual problem with fozziesov? From my perspective as a line member it's fantastic - fights get spread out, you can take uncontested sov pretty trivially without needing huge fleets to grind structures, the whole system is a lot simpler and has actual UI to explain it, dotlan basically gets to be a timerboard for free since all the info is on CREST, just off the top of my head - I'm loving every bit of it.

Plus Jita has run out of Entosis Link IIs so I'm making mad bank doing invention again
