As if that happened ever!? (and with success)
I'm sure there are quite some idiots who are willing to drop on a small black ops gang, but the problem here is that the small gang will be cloaked up and gone before they can load the grid. So I bet DNS Black is not worried about counter drops at all, he is more worried about Eve as a whole.

All the moon-goo iskies are going towars paying his 3000 Accounts, so he does! But back on topic +1 for DNS Black for this post.

That's exactly what he's saying. Another stupid argument, making the super rich alliances the only ones that would be using (affording) the jump bridges.

Yeah right it's spot on regarding the PvP aspect of the game.


I made an honest effort to read the whole THE BLOB argument, but then I lost interest about two sentences down the road reading the same old meme of the glorious old days.

Well guess what.
EVEN in the old days there was THE BLOB monster around, because when one side could only field 30 pilots or so and the other could field 100 or so, the analogies were exactly the same as now.

Also a vital factor of the BLOB as the writer so conveniently disregards is the fact that EVE is a MMO game. The more people logging in (in '06 the peak was 20k people and we were wondering if the servers going to handle the load, now you get around 40k almost every day), the more people will be found that are willing to work as a team to achieve a goal.

What should it happen? Should the bittervets (like me or anyone else) deny the opportunity to the new player to come along in a fleet fight and try to have some fun?

Is this really the way some people think EVE online? That they would be able to dictate their preferences as a minority over the majority of the players?

I agree on the moon goo issue, but come on stop beating the dead horse as far as fleet fights (oh and titans and their ability to bridge) goes.

First of all titans can bridge as far as they can jump themselves. And that is not that far (well it's about the half distance a carrier can). In order to move all the pilots in a fleet to a system across the EVE universe it takes an enormous amount of logistical preparation. Even then during the move, the effort that that is being put forth by the unseen workers (who do most of the hard work so that their alliance mates can do their stuff) of logistics as well as the FC and his people is huge.


All this whining about the BLOB will never cease no matter what. Even if CCP cuts the fleets in half or whatever there will always be a way around so that an alliance will manage to bring as many people as possible in a fight.
Why?
Because that is one way for the alliance to keep it's members happy. PvP is the predominant reason of people for playing this game and denying them to do so, because someone thinks it's unfair that his alliance can't field the number of pvp-hungry people another alliance does, is what will kill this game.

You don't like to blob? Then there is a multitude of choices you can make that eliminate that playstyle from your current abilities.
Life (and EVE) is a game of compromises. You can get what you want once you decide that you have to sacrifice something.
Get your priorities straight and do the choices that support your priorities.
Stop whining like a spoiled child that wants everything handed to a plate.

Above post was meant for this account


-- response to TEST --
OF course you guys like Titan bridges -- because you are incaple of fielding anything successful involving strategy.


We could care less if all bridges were taken out of the game. This is about the state of eve -- not our Black Ops agenda.

The best part is how he says we should stop talking about tech, even though they sperged on the forums along with goons nonstop till they gained control of all/most of it. Now for some reason moon goo is 'balanced'..... riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Relevant.

Maybe i should run for CSM if people think this guy deserves to. ccp is on the right track for now but needs to dedicate more resources to making eve better. then the other matter of balancing the risk v rewards in game which is completely off at the most basic levels. then the need for more targets, more rewards for people who use out of station services, and give highsec wardecs resources to war over. All i want for Christmas is more people and their stuff to shoot.

Because the 100's of empty systems aren't a result of the ability to project power throughout those 100's of systems or anything

My 2 cents, instead of crapping all over existing game play, which is working as advertised. How about (insert sci-fi story line here) Open new space! What EVE needs is not to force people into play the way the some think might be better. Most arguments made here for Nerfing this or changing that are made by folks who have been negatively affected by it. Not really un-biased.

We need an Oklahoma Land rush!!!!

The New Space would look something like this:

1) The Jove provide new jump bridges that stabilize worm holes and create gate travel in the known Sleeper systems. Opening up 2500 new systems for people to move into.

2) All the game mechanics work in the new space with the current effects of the sleeper systems.

3) SOV works the same way (allowing for minor tweaks in SOV mechanics that fix things that are truly broken and not just people whining)

4) Sleepers are the NPC Ratt's with all the loot and salvage that this entails.

5) Sleepers are not cowed or pirates, they actively hunt you down and they attack SOV structures. Maybe have a situation where-as Sleepers get more active in systems that do not keep the military/ strategic / industries index's up.

6) Sleepers as a faction maybe?

I get it, we all want small gang, but everyone knows that SOV takes large fleets to hold and take. Making it any harder to do this will not fix the game, it just makes the tedium more unbearable.

0.0 was the wild west, and it is now the townsville.


Its a simple thought, but we need a new wild west.
