Warfare & Tactics

I have about 14 billion in ships and fittings in kamela and egg plus a few ships deep in metro. Of course you are right that reshipping has delayed the amount of pvp due to station lock outs. But again that just proves that frequency of the pvp is not an issue ccp cares about.

As far as agressive I often fly t1 frigates and will attack most destroyers and faction frigates, and even some t2 frigates and cruisers with it. I will also usually fight 2 to one and sometimes even more if they are spread out. Cearain's killboard and Cearaen's killboard can speak for itself. Maybe take a look at it before you tell me I am not agressive.

You are right I had an argument with xg about this. I tried to get him to answer whether he would get 4-7 fights per 2 hours and I don't believe he would ever answer that. Instead he would just randomly post some kills and claim he made that kill within 5 seconds of signing in. Whatever, anyone can get lucky and do that every now and then. But when you look at his killboard you will see that there are often long delays between kills and losses. Maybe he was signed out maybe he was roaming around.

My experience is that in fw you may have several spells where you waste an hour or more roaming around with no good fight. People can make claims all they want but I will trust my own eyes.



Being the top in the BC killboard shows that you have allot of time to play. It in now way gives any information as to the frequency of good fights that you get. If I were unemployed and had no family then I would be able to get allot of kills as well because i coudl be online all the time. But for someone that only wants to spend a few hours a week on a computer game eve is horrible.

Also I would agree that faction war gives you more pvp opportunities than other places in eve.(possible exception of rvb) So I am not surprised that the top bc players are in it. That is one of the reasons I do faction war. But Eve still sucks for frequent quality pvp as a whole and FW is not good enough. Again if you think getting one or 2 good fights in 2 hours is great then maybe its for you. But thats not cutting it for me. It wastes too much of my time with boring roaming and "hunting".







You have no clue what I do yet you claim I am doing it wrong. XG Zarnak and others have all posted what they do. I do the same thing. I think I am just actually watching the clock a little closer and realizing how much time is actually passing between fights than allot of the players who claim they are getting so many fights. Their killboards never substantiate that you can get that number of fights on average. Chatgris came closest to actually providing any sort of proof. But that was just a single 2 hour stint. Its not like you could look at his killboard and see that he is getting 4-7 good fights per 2 hours.



No its not. Unless you can get them to spread out, and are in a nano ship, or get your own blob. The first happens only occassionally and the latter takes more time than its worth for several reasons.



JP like I said you no nothing about what I do but you assume I don't do these things. Let me see a killboard where its clear this person is reliably getting 4-7 good fights per 2 hours. But until you can actually back up your claims with that I have to believe you (like many others) are not really keeping track of your time when you play this game.

Then TBH brosef, you are playing the wrong game. Should probably just move on to something with more structure and rules and less sandbox. You don't get it, Eve has been and always will be what you make of it. CCP isn't responsible for providing me with content...I am. They simply give me the tools to do so.

lol and what should they do?

Its sandbox pvp.. It depends entirely on you finding another player willing to fight you... Thats not really something ccp can greatly influence except for doing stuff like ship rebalancing and so forth.

Cearain > Of course it ebbs and flows at times, and im not saying that you should ALWAYS be getting 5 fights per 2 hours but your 'average' is low. Your right, i assume a lot about your play style but on teh same note perhaps you are doing something wrong as well.

Text pew is over for the week - see you in space.

It Looks like he slept for about 8 hours on dec 31st and in the remaining 16 hours got about 20 fights.

How many were good/decent fights I don't know but given the relatively low point scores on BC and the fact that he didn't lose a single ship I doubt the percent is high but lets say he got about 10 good fights. Getting 1-2 decent fights per 2 hours is pretty good for eve. But its not really cutting it for me.

Like I said its easy for people to lose track of just how much time they are spending in this game.

I'll clue you in and it's the attitude that has ruined the PVP in game.. No one wants to fight, they only want to gank. Good luck trying to find people that will fight when the advantage isn't on their side, because they are very few and far between.

Because that has traditionally been one of the best ways to find it.

Although now you might be better off just doing solo pvp as a pirate and not in fw. That way you have more targets and can dock anywhere you want.

Do you think that is allot of solo kills?





huh?

Obligatory "You mad" comment.

And it's all true. But the numbers are probably closer to 100%.
