EVE Information Portal

When transfering material(s) from planet to custom office, materials dissapear from custom office. Need to restart the client to be able to see them. Happened first time today after the last patch update (1.0.3)
Not sure if this has been reported, if it has I'm sorry.

wrong topic, sorry

I've had 2 Blood elite frigates (and only those) tracking disrupt my Harbinger's Heavy Pulses (with Microwave) from 20km down to ~3km range. This was on 1.0.2, but I assume it hasn't changed by reading patch notes. I didn't notice NPC TDing having such a huge effect before. Did anything change on this front or are they bugged?

You have been replying, and been replying far more than any other GM/Dev has seen fit to.
To be perfectly fair, you've been pretty quick to in addressing the bounty system. If only the other Devs would address the other issues that have been raised.
Also, we are aware that a number of issued raised were posted over the weekend. And while I don't think anyone expects the dev's to work through a weekend under normal circumstances, after a major overhaul to the game would be one time I would expect them to be "on call" to address player community concerns and issues that are bound to arise.


As for some of the other devs (namely CCP Explorer, post 536): I've seen some snarky comments about removing current content if people keep complaining about the jukebox. That post came across as a real "Shut the **** up or else I swear we'll take out other content you like in retaliation" response. Having served as a GM in two previous MMO's, I can say that such a response in a forum by one of us would have led to instant removal as a GM and probably an outright ban. As Mr. Thorsteinsson is not a simple GM but CCP's Software Director, I would expect a bit more class. Threatening the player base is hardly a smart move.

You might notice that a number of people took that posting the same way (as a shot at the player community and showing a total lack of respect for the player base). Combine that with a lack of meaningful response from the other DEV's and you can see why the comments from posters became much less respectful and more hostile in tone. Action/reaction.

It's almost like on Thursday, CCP decided that the concerns being listed in here were somehow beneath them, not worthy of addressing and simply decided to ignore all future postings here. If that is the case, then simply close the thread. Don't insult the players by telling us how much you value our feedback and want our input, then belittle the concerns raised and ignore the thread created for that very input and feedback. It's incredibly insulting and gives the strong impression that CCP could really give a damn about the players or the game in general.

I'm honestly rather impressed that CCP has continued to create expansions. I really do love that they try to keep the game fresh and exciting. These are things to be commended and continued.

However, none of us are perfect and what seems like a good idea while discussing around a table may turn out to be not such a good idea in practice. It happens. There's nothing wrong with saying "Whoops, we goofed on that! Let us put it back the way it was and try something else down the road". That would be a much more honest and respectable (if not the easiest) way of addressing things.

As for the test server. I dare say that less that 10% of the player community ever logs onto that. Probably far less. It is fine for what it is: A server to test game mechanics, bug-hunting and integration. It is complete folly, however, to assume that the players who are on the test server represent the broad player base of Tranquility.

Player input from the test server is valuable, to be sure. It is not, however, the EVE community as a whole. It is but a small slice of the community and not a very representative one.

I am also searching for recent information on the bugs created by the new mission & complex A.I.

Dear CCP,

Due to me having to switch off safety every single time when I log in I have already missed a few kills. Please let the client or server save my safety settings.

The only safety I use when shooting stuff is my trigger finger, and I have been happy with that for years. Now I'm disappointed.

Please decrease the amount of gradation on locked target shields/armour/hull

Due to numerous black stripes between, overall meter appear much more dim and less visible especially over dark background.

I don't think anyone needs such precision from them anymore, since the tooltip provides precise values now.

No real big complaints accept the fact that the ne bounty system seems to have created a firestorm of bounty creating.. even me . somebody of which i had no previous contact gave me a bounty .. and as i wander the Heora system and surrounding regions . its one wanted individual after another . from my perspective . the new system seems to have rendered the bounty system .. meaningless . simply existing in the eve universe can earn you a bounty . personally i think bounties should be conditional or at the very least have expirations of which the bounty issuer only gets a portion back .... or at the very very least , get rid of the large WANTED banner on the photo , since being wanted is going to be the new norm in eve existence , theres no real reason to capitalize it. . just my two cents.. other than that .. having a blast.

I'm wondering why the TD/EW overkill hasn't yet been addressed. I just tried to run the same Amarr Epic Arc mission and once the Sansha NPCs start TD'ing your ship, it's over. You quickly become irrelevant. I was TD'ed down to about 5km and even if you let a frig get that close, (something you normally would never do) you still can't hit it anyway. Sucks, tbh.

I get that this is a pvp expansion. It is titled "Retribution" after all. Most of the changes are obviously pro-pvp. A dessie with 7 missile launchers really can be nothing but a predator. The bounty system was designed to increase pgc. So I get that CCP is probably in no hurry to even address the npc issue. They're probably drinking coffee right now screaming at their monitors "HTFU."

But I just don't understand why these pvp enhancements were made in conjunction with the AI "upgrade." Was the intent to force mission runners/wh explorers into a cooperative experience? Well that's thoughtful but even if you did change your playstyle, that solution also decreases your income by half. Thanks? Or was the intent to drive mission runners into pvp? If so, that's a faulty premise. I have repeatedly written here that no amount of stick will force risk-averse players to become risk-takers. You can't starve people into changing their gaming style. As someone who works a lot of hours per week, I don't have much time to play EvE these days. I pay my subscription in dollars just for the privilege of EvE being here when I do have time. On the one or two days per week I can log in for an hour or two, it's nice to be able to run missions solo or to scan down anomolies and do a little exploration. I've built my own little empire and I enjoy maintaining it. I don't have time for much else. Even solo, it's a big, beautiful universe I enjoy being a part of. Atm, those options aren't even options and not once have I thought, well I guess I'll just go to low sec and engage in some pvp. I've considered trading, mining, researching my bpos, flying from corp office to corp office, and ship spinning, but not having my primary source of income hasn't yet made me more of a risk-taker. It's just decreased the quality of my particular gaming experience. And yes, I'm aware EvE a social game. It's just not a current option. I've been here a long time and I've been plenty social. But EvE has never before been unplayable by those who aren't.

Incentivizing pvp is one thing, but imo, the cost shouldn't be exclusion of all solo activities in New Eden.

Anyway, for my part, I am still experiencing the TD "bug" (which more and more I am thinking is a feature) making solo missions impossible and I still cannot switch ammo types by right clicking on the stacked hud icon. The option to choose alternate crystals is no longer present.

And before I go, I would like to at least commend CCP on the whole V3 overhaul. For the most part, these new ship textures are beautiful and all aspects in-game are improved as a result. Visually, EvE has changed so much over the past few years. One suggestion I'd make is, following the ship beautification process, someone should maybe look at developing station scenery as an extension of improving the immersive experience. (Of course gameplay should always be the priority.) But there are some stations I actually "enjoy" visiting simply because on undock, the view is stellar. (Nayheen VI comes to mind, when you rotate the planet behind your ship. Just gorgeous. There are others.) So many stations are in the middle of nowhere particular, just dark and alone, and there's considerable room to spruce up these vistas imo. Or at the very least, the hubs should be a sight to behold beyond the number of ships hovering at the entrance bountying each other. Jita IV CNAP would maybe look great at the forefront of a massive aqua nebula. Maybe a giant golden star would enhance Amarr's EFB. Anyway, its just an idea. Someone probably gets paid to look at these things.

And its off to work I again go. Thanks for reading.

the info on the drone said that the drone's respect Wreck ownership
so should you and i would ask ccp to give us kill rights on salvage ninja's
as the drone description say's it not your's to take

Seems to be quite a task to code that, otherwise i would have expected CCP to have it fixed by now.

Certainly massively annoying... considering one might have more than one char
