EVE General Discussion

Wow, you suffer from some serious butthurt. No wonder you're a 4 year old toon and no one wants you in their corp.

An yep, know what it means. Had the displeasure of living in that area of the world for a while. It's called sarcasm. Derp.

Fix Lag?

It has. It's gonna be called "Time Dilation"

New alt needed... This one is ****** anyway

Here's how I see it happening.

CCP is recognizing that there is indeed a significant number of users that prefer a safer environment for their gameplay. Yes, Eve's meant to have a degree of danger no matter where you are, but many new users are put off my not fully understanding this, putting most or all of their isk in their first mining barge then having it all blown away. Many quit because of this. Yes, let's admit it, there's a lot of carebears out there and their cash is as good as ours. So, CCP is making high sec a little safer for those people in efforts to retain and draw a larger base of players. Hell... look at the most recent "afk cloaker" megathread... people in there are crying to have cloaking broken so they can be safer even in null space.

Hopefully CCP will draw the line, though, when it comes to making an area safer and retaining the dangerous aspects of Eve at the borders of high sec. I may not completely agree with making high safer, but I can understand why... however to make low/null/wormholes safer really will take away a vital core part of the game... it'll be a dagger in the very heart of Eve.

So, if my advice was worth a damn I'd say this... let it go. Let high sec have a little more safety. In the long run, it may result in someone playing longer that decides it's time to really get out there and experience the "real" Eve.

I know, I know... it's definitely not ideal, just trying to think on a broader scope what may be being thought at the higher levels.

It would be interesting to allow a corp in an alliance to be wardec'd specifically, and having that dec follow the corp whether they stay in the alliance or not. Of course... then you have to consider the mechanics... if I dec Corp X specifically in Alliance Y, the dec should affect the whole alliance (so they can defend their corp) yet if that corp leaves the dec follows them and remains active. If the dec'd corp leaves the alliance the alliance would be "off the hook"... could add an interesting mechanic to the game perhaps?

Hmm... this could use fleshing out, what do you think?

Meh… I think I'm going to set up a wardec-shedding alliance that people can join and leave for a nominal fee.

If they're going to be stupid about it, one might as well try to turn a buck from it.

Only problem is that by the time I've trained the skills, someone else will have done the same (and I can't exactly wardec them to get rid of the competition either… )

For the record, to declare so many wardecs on yourself from shell corporations is going to cost isk submitted to CONCORD. Its going to cost more to buy safer safety in highsec, thats an isk sink right there. Not a great reason, but a good enough one not to complain loudly. As for bashing POS...do you really want to do it that bad? And there are plenty of other areas to shoot people, this might be CCP's way of saying "GTFO HIGHSEC!" cause you too are surrounded in perfect safety while your complaining your target's price is insane

The game's mechanics are its rules. Abitrary words posted on an internet forum which are to be manually enforced by incompetent GMs are not how game rules are best implemented.

Either code it into the game mechanics, or allow it to occur naturally.

He mad, bro.

The uncomfortable use of excessive smilies is proportional to the amount of butthurt. I can almost see his pale little nerd-hands shaking in rage.

That is not what the AURORA debacle was about.

At all.

I have a man on the inside, he told me this.

They have a special coin. If any GM finds a situation where just copy pasting "Go f off, the logs show nothing" may not be the complete answer, they flip said coin. One side says copy paste anyways, and one side says tell the customer its legit. An incredibly useful system with only one drawback. They lose this coin a lot and the whole department has to drop what they are doing and locate this coin again.

Well the metrics came back, the GMs discovered the people ruling on wardecs lose this coin the most. Since there is only one coin and its a massive setback if its lost, changing the rules to always answer yes its legit makes the workplace a more productive place for everybody.
