EVE General Discussion

You know it is funny how these entities happen to spawn out of the either to control your game. M0o, FOE (FE), BoB, GOON, AAA, RA, RAZOR, BRUCE, TEST, PL, CURSE, RISE (above), TRI(I, II, III...IV?), CVA, GA(lulz...) N3, NCdot, MC etc etc.

All of a sudden these entities seem to pop out of no where and just take over ****. SOV mechanics is surely to blame for a bunch of windowlicking helmet wearing special snowflakes given a pass to be able to hold internet space pixels and you get the shaft because you happen to be socially challenged.

Now it has been proven that an individual somehow made friends, gathered a bunch peeps together, figured out to herd cats, played the game by the same rules everyone else seems to be play by, create an organization, recruit like minded retards and proceeded to take the risk and control a part of the game that has absolutely no safety net nor CCP intervention short of lag (re-named TIDI), fighting in grind sessions while busting your ass to keep the line members happy while you are busily trying to keep the huge strain of hyperactive autistic squirrels focused.

Yeah it is a lot of fun, it is a freaking full time job.

And now you are butt hurt because you are not willing to put the effort in that everyone else has?

It will have as many universes as there are players, with no persistance at all if you so choose; by its nature of being multiplayer-optional, the economy and drama is player-influenced, but at the core still seeded and generated by the game itself.

Entirely optional and effectively game-generated, like the rest, which means it doesn't come close to what EVE offers.

Again, it simply doesn't offer what EVE does. This is a good thing. But it also means that they're not in the same genre for much the same reasons as why Starcraft or Descent or Ports of Call aren't the same genre — they just share some superficial thematic similarities.

Why would he need to hide a post? Especially for such an incorrect reason?

This is awesome. Preciesely the kind of thing I wish to see - Miners who know wht that hell they're doing, and doing what's necessary. And by using maintenance drones, he's not even at risk of aggro. A purely passive, and yet entirely successfull defense.

I've said it many times before - if you fall to my Cat's blasters, you are bad and should feel bad. I bumble up slow-boat style. Deliberately. Hell, I've been known to park my Cat directly in front of a barge and stare at it for a couple minutes. This is proof that they are not at the keyboard - that they are in fact letting their computer 'play' the mining game whilst they do something else. That's a death sentence. Even a total n00b who knows nothing of fitting can get away from me - I explicitly allow for it. All they need to be doing is paying attention.

If you can't be botherd to pay attention, well, the penalty is replacing your barge. I don't wish to 'dominate' anyone. I only want them to quit whinging and learn to play. I bet that Hulk pilot mentioned above isn't on the forums whinging about 'nerfing gankers' - he's already solved the problem for himself, without messing with the game mechanics, and without being a pantywaste. Bravo Zulu to him.

…and from what I've read, it will operate under the same mechanics as the other parts, only with more inputs from player.

Say, the explains what all those POS' are doing in my favorite ratting systems! Clearly there to be offered up as sacrifices to the BP Gods, yes?

No, apperently not.

Apparently they're there to support the miners working in-system. They're mining signatures, I'll grant you, but there's better yield in those anyway.

I won't link SC in EvE forums as I think that would be rude to do. However I'll post this:



Easy to find that post if you use google. SC has a persistent single server where all players connect and retrieve and store data. So I would call that a single sharded universe. There won't be multiple servers.

Isn't it sad when people who don't like EVE as it is to try to hang their hopes on a game that doesn't even exist yet.

It's like jumpgate/black prophesy/Star Trek Online/Battlestar Galactica Online/ Star Wars Galaxies/SWTOR/etc/etc/etc all over again....

It's not surprising that you don't understand why EVE has a reinforcement mechanic, it's not really all that different from you not understanding why EVE has local chat.

And lol at that insane appeal to CCP's wallet. When will you learn that you speak only for yourself, not "75% of the player base"? Pretending like lots of other people agree with you when you have no proof of such agreement is the sign of a weak argument.

I understand that before reinforcement timers people were blapping sov assets while enemies were offline in down hours. While that is a problem the "fix" created another arguably worse problem.

As an example if you check the map, goon sov you will notice that since Test got beaten Goons have dropped TCU's all over Delve and Period Basis. They did that in 24 hours. If you take a tour through there you will find zero Goons. So why hasnt anyone retaken that space or tried to contest it? Because if they do Goons will show up at the time they set the timer and wipe out the challenger.

According to CCP 75% of players reside in high sec. That leaves 25% enjoying all the content of the game at the expense of the 75% who miss out.

Im not suggesting timers be removed, I think emails from the server should be though. If players don't notice an enemy fleet in system attacking their assets because theyre not in system then I think thats just tough luck.

Link?
