EVE General Discussion

Nice going CCP. After I read that you are still pushing with the AI attacks drones update by "lowering" the hate I got fed up. Well I got news for you. This wont change a thing. Hear this, from someone who multi tasks more than few accounts with droneboats, it was already a big clickfest of launching drones, setting to assist/guard, recalling, changing drone type, doing that all over and again on next spawn and etc.

As it is now, you got to screen all your alts every second, clicking different window, recall, repair and buy/load new drones if you lost some. Spare me your pathetic comments of "adapt" solo ship gallente flyers or someone who uses them just to kill those few elite frigs and not a primary dps weapon. You can adapt, and avoid major losses, but the amount of effort you put in compared to some missile drake/tengu difference is just too big. I challenge you to give me few strong advantages to use drone based ships in any activity related to PVE. Anything that would give an edge over other gun platforms.

As for someone who invested 10mil SP into drones and 10mil SP for gallente ship command this is not acceptable. I don't want my pve to be intense and tiring as pvp. This should be relaxing, almost brain dead activity that I would do to earn isk for PVP. The new AI affects basically only drones. Maybe some few guys who uses logi alts. If I wanted to go hardcore I would go to Nulls or Wormholes to do HARD plexes with a lot of incoming DPS, which would require more attention and knowledge and ships.

I hope you read this CCP FoxFour and bring some sense in your daily department meetings. There are ALOT unhappy customers. I personally gonna stop subbing my accounts. I am not gonna retrain to another ship just because of broken patch. Too bad I paid yearly subs, so I still have to wait out 6 months.

You want to make missions challenging and interesting? How about putting more effort and redesigning whole content from the ground up with an engaging story? Play skyrim for once. PVE is big part of eve you want it or not. Ships are not free and everyone must grind for them.

P.S. I swear, hire a team of fresh students with more experienced TL to pickup ALL ideas of PVE content from forums and implement them while removing old and aged current system. You will have more subs than WOW.

Um... I think the changes were brought in for this exact reason. The mechanics of the game should not allow one to earn significant isk while in a "brain dead state".

Just sayin'

Forsaken hubs don't have frigates (at least the Serpentis ones don't) Release drones, aggro, collect loot. You are welcome.

Ohh wow - they are already caving into semi AFK mission runners?
Damn shame.

At least you admitted you are loosing drones due to lack of wanting to work harder as opposed to it really being overpowered.

not exactly. I dont want to work hard, but that is not the issue. Issue is that I work hard, and some other with not a turret ship works less hard.

Never flown a Tengu. How ironic you should refer to me as a kid while simultaneously making childish assumptions.

Try again.

You could always team up with another players and do your pve, I see your issue with multiboxing droneboats though, have you tried limiting what boat uses which drones? 20 lights have no place on the battlefield imo.

Drone users came best out of this expansion in my opinion, ewar has more or less killed guns against blood raiders/sansha, and the nerf to heavy missiles make it harder to hit frigs, forcing missile users to switch ammo, which takes 20s each time. I would rather from my 1-ship-per-human point of view watch the overview a bit than not hitting at all.

Wow, OP uses several accounts at once which is now harder to do.

I feel for the OP.

Multiboxing is not supported in eve.

All I'm seeing is crying over the fact you can't afk isk.

Funny how you have to play the game to make isk. Crazy almost.

Seriously we need to start a movement to threaten unsubbing if they revert it back to the old way, to cancel this whining out.
