  • Amarr Battleships will soon be V3

since they are not on sisi i suppose they won't make it into the escalation patch, right?

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

  • Market now shows Faction/Officer/Deadspace loot


Disappointing to see such a blithe reduction in the complexity of the overall field of economic transactions, without any apparent awareness of that effect.

Reduced complexity and better availability of price information tends to dumb down gameplay and reduces the number of market-oriented niches.

In the future, it would be nice to see a net increase in the overall richness of the economy.

Hint: simply adding a bunch of SKUs to the existing market system does not amount to a new niche. It's just a bunch more datapoints in an existing mechanic.


You mean you won't be able to set up as many scams you mean? So sad.... Big smile

In your apparent haste to post, it seems that you missed the substance of what I wrote. I encourage you to re-read my post and think a bit, if these are issues in which you would profess an interest.

Since I haven't, don't and don't intend to scam, I can't speak from the same first-hand experience as some other players regarding that aspect of this change. However, I can see that moving SKUs from Contracts to the Market is not the same as reducing the number of market orders or contract slots per Pilot, so it is not immediately clear in what way scammers would be forced to reduce the number of their scam attempts as a result of this change. You seem more in touch with scamming than I am: would you care to elaborate?

Whether this sort of change is good is a matter of opinion. As I wrote above, in my opinion, it's disappointing.

I prefer the greater richness of more complexity, even though it means that I have to be more alert to avoid being scammed. You are welcome to prefer the dumbing down of gameplay to suit a simpler play style, but I will continue to be disappointed if CCP continues to cater more and more to the lowest common denominator.

That's nice that you prefer the "richness" the rest of us prefer to be able to buy and sell these items on the market without having to open the contract several times to check for scams. (And have found plenty)

http://community.eveonline.com/en/inferno/features/ ", while the time to complete an Assault invasions will be reduced some."

The above quote is a lie. OCF's & NCS's have been significantly increased in time to complete ( who actually tests this? )
NCN's are still stacking because they take about the same amount of time.
OCF's have extra ships WTF?!?!?! how does that reduce the time to complete? Maybe in Bizarro land it does?
NCS's now take longer becuase there are no triggers & short range ships sit around doing nothing. NCS's actually used to be dangerous & risky now they are 2X safer IMHO

Why does CCP even bother putting the crap they put up on SiSi then totally eff things up on TQ? The Incursion assaults & VG's are so screwed up right now I can't even comprehend what goes on in icland does 2 DEVs get together after a failed SiSi test run throw everything away then just crap out whatever on TQ?
WOW OTA's are stacking up like NCN's I wonder why ? Well jeez I'm hearing alot of Incursion alts are hanging it up due to this fail if that was the intent you succeded.
Maybe in a week or two things will sort themselves out but I took a 6 month break after Incarna maybe I need another 6 month break after this load.

Currently in the SIB Incursion in Khanid 1 Vanguard system has 7 OTA's 0 others, another has 5 OTA's 1 NMC, and the third has 5 OTA's wow about as balanced as a mamoth & a mouse on a seesaw CCPAttentionAttention Do your DEV test monkeys just throw feces at the wall in SiSi & you code with your noses?Roll

Edit: 2 systems are now 100% OTA's

The Incursion nerf has worse then decimated numbers at least in HI SEC. I predict AT LEAST a hexi- to pentimation of incursion runners & subscription losses. Dunno if NULL & LO sec will see same losses in incursions yet.
If last weekends numbers holds up the Incursion community may die in a month... shame to go out in a wimper instead of a bang Cry
