So last live event was CCP *personally* leading a bunch of people into well prepared nullsec gate camps. That got you too much backlash, so now you make people do it themselves. Well, at least not having a CCP FC is an improvement I guess.

I understand the concept of creating conflict situations but it always seems that as soon as you have something tied to a single system, you end up in camping situations that can only be overcome with blobs. This removes the ability for a lot of players who don't want to get into fleets to engage in the new content.

IMO, there should be 2 or 3 different systems as spawn points that are distances from each other so that no 1 party can camp them all at the same time ..

And no, I am not whining because I don't want to be in fleets, I am a nullsec alliance player...

You are a member of a nulsec alliance, what part of Guristas space is not able to be covered by the coalition of alliances that hold sov in the surrounding regions? The only way to avoid "Sov Dominance" would be to place the spawn points and stations in NPC sov, which has several entry points, "not in the middle of Sov Nulsec".



SOE, in the middle of Guristas / Condi space
Mordus Legion, in the middle of Guristas / Condi space

Is there a trend forming here?
Or is it simply poor judgement and planning on the part of Devs?


CCP Affinity, I found your Blog description lacking a little specific information. I hope you don't mind me adding some relevant information here.

We're going to start Kronos off with an event that'll see you assisting what's arguably the most honorable band of mercenaries in the cluster, Mordu's Legion.
And Give one of the largest coalitions on TQ an opportunity to pad their kill boards and achieve many CCP Sponsored Tears, via the limited access to Mordus Space.

My opinions are mine.

Is it intentional the Guristas data sites appear in high-sec, too? Found three of them so far in 0.6 systems.

Interesting that Guristas sites would appear outside Guristas space. I wonder if like Ghost sites they are tiered. The blog doesn't actually have a lot of information.
It does seem though, if you find and complete another 69 of them you will have enough for a Mordus Frigate BPC.

Good luck.

All of this whining about the LP store location and having to turn the data in...

As if a goon/CFC gate camp was anything resembling a threat...

It's a big new feature that mainly delivvers to Sov holders - Goons and those that pay blue fees. They get a free pass to sell and make even more passive income. No risk. The rest of us will have to wait or hand it over to ultra-safe goon camps. Interceptors are not immune they get popped all the time by Destroyer gate camps. Everything else has to wade through bubbles and covert ships won't dodge all the campers. The way in is a long pipe - multiple gate camps will exist.

There is simply no reason this "turning in" process should be surrounded by Sov (Goon/CFC) space. Doesn't make sense in the lore, doesn't make sense game design-wise. Low sec makes sense for this, or a connecting lowsec to NPC nullsec (no home court advantage ie jammers, etc.) Even a " known" rotating Wormhole-type scenario is preferable - or something everyone would have to time right to get through or catch those that would.

We are paying a price for Sov holders blu-ing up, renting and using that sweet rent ISK for even more titans (for a few select players). Everyone is being funneled into this, and now to even get new content you have to pay for someone else ride.

"Just a lone wolf my *ss." Next video should be a lone wolf going to the renters office to pay to play, pay to win.

CCP, new content = everyone risks. Everyone gets a chance to get it. Esdpecially with key content.

Serious folks these skins are nice but they are rather dark toned. Give us a few bright Blue or Red skins. Or better yet a my little ponies pink and white color scheme.
