EVE General Discussion

Where?

Their's lots of place where there could be. I just want to be sure I know which one.

Been pondering... if you have 50 alts and you post with your main does it make it official?

Yes, it even makes it legally binding under Caldari Law.

look at Aegis sov go!

I can't really agree with CCP on this nerf. CCP have brought this on themselves through their bad decision making from past "nerfs". A lot of the decisions they have make put plasters on severe wounds and expect, "everything will be alright". Let me run through a list of things:
1. Despite the research that goes into gamification, ccp seemingly ignore best practices. One such example is to continue to deploy "features" and "mechanics" that require hundreds of people to become sheep. A perfect example of this is the new sov mechanic. whilst it stops things like station flipping, it forces people into creating huge alliances and coalitions to get a slice of the pie. The research says when people have specific roles and responsibilities the feel more part of the overall community/game. If I were to apply this to Eve, I would rather see CCP create a game play that isn't mandated by huge amounts of people being sheep.
You're probably wondering what this has to do with the post - Over the years there have been some terrible decisions the first being the point above. The 2nd being the punishment of seeking out content. I am, of course talking about jump fatigue. Again, not to be bias the intention was correct, however it significantly reduces the opportunity for any sort of content and once again papering over the cracks.
3. Has to be NPCs and how they target everything and anything. I remember the days of being able to go out to hunt ratters in a reacon but this profession seemingly died with the NPC change - I questioned why NPC would target my reacon when I am helping the NPCs kill something that is killing them, the answer I got was NPC don't take sides.
4. Moon mining - this change is going to screw the game up royally. If you look at the spike in NPC bounty payouts it falls directly in line with CCP's desire to do away with moon mining being, although a I disagree with this statement, a passive form of income. If Fozzie thinks this is at all going to generate content I have to say WTF?
The point I am making here is this, CCP make terrible decisions, they hope it will improve the game instead they end up pissing people off entirely and you can see this directly in the daily active users. i remember days of seeing nearly 60k online every single day.
Content is drying up - if you're lucky and find content, its dull and predictable, let them rat in carriers and supers but give us the ******* tools to disrupt it and ruin someones days. I'm talking about things like more NPC warp scrambling and disrupting NPC's. I'm talking about BS NPC's warp disrupting carriers and supers as an alternative to fighter DPS nerf. Stop nerfing **** because of graphs and listen to your customers. Give us incentives to hunt these types of ratters and then give us the tools to kill it. As an alternative to carriers and super carriers ratting havens how about a specific module that can be deployed in space that acts as a beacon for anoms specifically for carriers and supers (make havens and sanctums less appealing) and if it gets destroyed the anoms don't spawn. The module has a small amount of HP meaning small 5 man gangs can go whale hunting. Like i said, the devs needs to get out of this swinging the nerf hammer, CREATE CONTENT stop ******* nerfing **** and being lazy developers.

Lel. They nerfed Drakes years ago. They were good once (unless you knew how to fit Kinetic tanking modules).

Adapt or Die. Get Good Again. Stop your Whining.

They patch it because well oraganised group of players take it to the level of an exploit. Goons didn't create imbalance, CCP did. They just showing that CCP lack of imagination.
As for your keepstar comment, again where is the goon fault in that?

Nope

It's not about goons, every null region has carriers and supers swarming over combat anomalies more so than before CCP introduced fighter squadrons.. Goons are just the most active at it.

If it had been allowed to go on those carriers and supers would have eventually turned EVE into Zimbabwe money wise, or worse, the Chinese EVE server....

For the record, these events are vindication of a sorts for me, in the past when we all here have talked about pve income imbalances the high sec crowd would shout "JUST BUFF NULL, don't take away from my high sec income"!!

Well, this is what happens when you Just Buff Null instead of CCP balancing PVE income opportunities across EVE with an eye towards how much safety is worth...
