If ISK inflows are still a big issue for the EVE economy, increase the LP payouts instead of the ISK payout. I do agree that the average payout for sites should be returned to pre-Escalation levels. At the moment incursions are only marginally more profitable than L4 missions; there should never be disincentives to participate in group activities in a multiplayer game.

Please consider significantly revising the Nation Consolidation Network assault site. Splitting a fleet up sounds nice in theory, but near as can tell the general concensus is that such sites are just a "pain in the ass" to run, because they require two FCs, split comms, and take much more effort and time to run for no additional reward.

Also, please check the incursion spawn code. It looks like someone did something silly with it, so that new incursions no longer spawn new sites.

At least we got lucky & the next Incursion spawn popped up next door... doubt we'll have to let an incursion die like we did with the Caldari incursion... wonder how much LP there was lost?

Hello Serge,

for me you are one of the best HQ FC's - i enjoed your fleets very much! The truth is CCP killed his own child - the incursions are a dead feature now. It's time to vote with a wallet...

Well his character is still showing up in game, and is still CEO which means he cannot even attempt to biomass any time soon.

Could this be... another BS claim of unsubbing and biomassing?

I have only seen "kk" on this forums, nowhere else. which countries you speak of?

BTW: Anyone who writes stuff like "NNkm3" is grossly misleading (by a million times), for heavens sake make a " " between the "k" and the "m".

Say like the hacking in that vanguard site, just that **** is gonna hit the fan if you ignore it for too long.

But to stay on topic, give people more incentives to do the larger sites.

Looks like Incursions have reached the point where all of the null/lo sec Incursions withdraw on thier own and over the passt week 1/2 the HI SEC Incursions are withdrawing without the Kundalini Manifest being spotted. Competition in sites is just a memory.

Darth you've been saying that for a month. Most low/null incursions used to withdraw anyway, as for the high sec ones, guess what? You're all running one incursion. Of course only one of them is going to be completed.

and where is the good at this ? CCP killed the incursion community. Some people like it , stayed at eve for it , might leave now (if they havent) . It was an aspect inside of a game that attracted people. Yes the isk were 2 much , but thats a different story from what they did atm.

And in my opinion it is not fair to have 12 people earning less than a level 4 farmer solo gets. As for the low sec - null sec telling about risk - payment , let the ccp remove the local then see them crying even more from people that run incursion. Most of the times low sec and null sec is safer than high sec once you learn the signs . I only accept that argument from people that live at WH space , and still many wh are deserted and you might get popped once but profit the loss many many times before .

Some people ran incursions because they enjoyed incursions, most just ran them to fund other interests in Eve.

Those people may be unhappy incursions have been nerfed, just as people were unhappy when level fives were moved, but contrary to their claims they haven't quit. They've just moved to the next best method of generating ISK.(I've actually added a lot of people who claim to be quitting to watchlist, rather amusingly not only are most of them always online but most of them are online a lot)

Anyway, incursions needed a nerf, they got nerfed. The incursion bar probably needs tweaking but other than that it's fine, if you want to make low/null sec level income then move to low/null sec.

Posting to confirm that low sec is ridiculously safe, and that you should definitely go there right now and make billions.

Having said that, I am one of those that often speaks out about local changes. Although not removing it, it is too heavily integrated into the game to remove it outright. No local only works in wormhole because of mass limits, limited connectivity and a lack of cynos.

In other words wormholes were designed to have no local, removing local in low or null would require redesigning a considerable number of fundamental game features simultaneously. Something that would no doubt go horribly, horribly wrong.

Simi posting a killmail wont change the thing that low sec is safe. You have systems that have more kills and are high sec, it all depends on where you are to be honest. But there are many many systems that you see like 3 to 5 people regulars and are low sec. Most of the times after a while you can set standing with those people , you know who the pirates are , who are safe . That of course doest change the fact you can be killed , but thats also apply on many of the mission hubs areas for example if you have something shinny worth killing. Also most of the times high sec kills are more isk / worthy (trade route indy's , fr , mission boats ) that give better killmails and more profit ofc (although piracy has decreased a bit) . (have you seen the eve univercity vs RnB killmails ? almost 500 ppl on high sec )

I agree to that local change you mentioned It needs a lot of effort but if it is ever been done it will start the low sec tears because many people will actually have danger involved when they farm isk.

As far as ratting at nullsec inside an alliance .. hmmm. It not that dangerous either. You have intel , d-scan , local , your own scouts to pretty much do it the safest way possible.

From my point of view ccp went 2 far with the incursion nerfs. Money should have lowered , but not at this rate. Also the mechanics are .... making it not enjoyable to the people that were doing it for the community part . I also believe that it affected the rest on a negative way. Lets assume someone could actually play 3 days and have their plex from incursions (it can be done from plexing if you lucky in less less time on low sec , most of the time you have it around 5 days ) and the other 2 to fund few ships. Those ships could cover my pvp on low sec - null sec because that very person wont be thinking about losing his ship (to my advantage) and get a new one.

With level 4 farming and incursion as it is now , how many days he needs to get the isk for plex and ships ? Defenetely more so defenetely less days to come to me to pvp or try to have fun with the game. I see it like that , dont get me wrong

P.S. sorry for the mistakes i might have . I am a bit of rusty when it comes the English .

it's how eve works, either you risk go to dangerous place to make isk or accept the little isk HS offer, don't complain about that.

and no, CCP don't force you to go to NS.

[b][b]you didnt get me . I dont complain about isk. I have more than enough to enjoy the game. A market trader char can really make you enough isk for the lols once you get the hang. And to be honest i rarely undock like 2-3 times per month. But it is more than enough to stick to 0.0 where i my alts are and enjoy . This doesnt apply to all the people. Cutting their isk / h ratio for a group play isnt right. You can solo for more at HS , solo for much more at low sec (plex , mining , dunno about ratting) and much more nullsec . On all those the danger might be more in general but it doesnt apply all the times. Also it [b]SOLO play . Thats what i dont like. Team play should be worth more than solo play no matter what. As for high sec security , go there drop a can , shoot the one that will loot it ( most of the times people will loot it )

Problem is incursions are now widely run by incursion community elitest faggots that only care for isk/hour.

that was the issue for VG since they were incredbily easy isk allowing lots of people to fleet up and run them.

Now the best isk is in assualts but unless you are an elitest pirate ship owner you got no chance.... and these fags wonder why the communities are dye-ing. i can name a few communities in particularly.

Just wondering, how is this different to the top isk-earning actions in lowsec/nullsec/w-space? Bring multi-billion isk ships for max efficiency or go do something else like markets or moons.
