EVE General Discussion

I can't agree

If the task was either small or simple, I'm sure things would have already been done.

Reworking null sec is a huge job and I would rather CCP take their time and get it right so that it works.

Giving arbitrary deadlines helps nobody. We all know that they know it's broken and are looking at it, what more can they do?

Isn't it more of a case that the meta is broken rather than the game anyway? The meta has led to the blue donut, not actual game mechanics.

I don't agree.
First of all - people where raising issues with current SOV and capitals for YEARS, and all those items put us in current situation.

For years the where ignored.
I'm aware about new Executive producer , im also aware that one of the things CCP wants to change is something about sov and probably capitals.

We don't know what will be changed, or when.
like i stated before , issues about sov and capitals are nothing new - so im asking for commitment , deadlines from CCP side - as we where ignored for last years.

Without knowing what CCP will change we can wakeup in 1 year with grate SOV fix made by CCP:
1. 50% more in sov cost
2. max 50 systems per alliance
3. smaller range of JB
4. capital fuel usage increased by next 50% , range reduced by 1/3

so stuff that will not change any thing , as :
ad1 . Renters will just pay more ,to cover all empty space
ad2 . Instead of 1 alliance holding 500 systems we will have 10 holding 50
ad3 . People will put more JB
ad4 . 2 rented systems -1.0 ad 4-5 r64 can still pay for all capital movements

Be careful what you wish for. Think about it for a moment. Think about how long it took them to rebalance hacs (hint: they're still doing balance passes on them). Look at how long it took to do the cruisers. They still haven't gotten around to recons.

Now look at dominion sov. We've had to live with that for what, four or five years? Odds are we'll have to live with the new sov system for at least that long. And dominion sov most assuredly took longer than 3 months to develop.

You know what happens when game devs rush to release? They usually push out total crap. Seriously, a rushed development cycle and a quality product are almost mutually exclusive. This holds doubly true for mmo content. And this is doubly true again for Eve. You know why? Because whatever they push out, we're gonna have to live with it for years. Personally, I hope they take their time and do it right. Because those changes to caps, supers, and sov will shape eve for years to come.

What is with all of the toddler tantrum "I want my toy now!" threads of late? James had one a week or two ago, demanding a comprehensive capital, supercapital, and sov update in 6-8 weeks (when hyperion releases) lol. Most of you are adults, with something that passes for a brain sitting inside your skull. Rub your two neurons together and think before you post.

Yes.

Also kind of funny the growing bandwagon about SOV and Power projection nowdays, and most everyone in null, did this to themselves.

Lets create huge rental empires, cry about sentries (certain group), which make the grind slower, then demand CCP fix's it all for us.

Im all for changes, but really. I half feel like if I were CCP, I would just tell the public tough ****. NIP's, BOTLORD accords....wtfever.

Kind off.

Sure the place we are in now is mainly due to a few select people who control most of null preferring to have agreements to earn massive amounts of isk and organised good fights instead of beating the **** out of each other, but on the other hand Sov Mechanics are so terrible that this was bound to happen.

Path of least resistance.

Like chill out. I like throw my support like towards your like all worshipful leader and you like to get all up in my junk. like stay out of my junk and like it would be like awesome to see goons all like in a constellation unable to like get out for fear of a fight against a 10 man lowsec gang like in griffin's and comets. Like your whole attitude is like very tribal you like missed something as a child.

I am very glad that the players of this wonderful game remind CCP every once in a while to communicate their ideas to us. This way we don't get a repetition of the communication debacle surrounding the industry overhaul. We forgot to remind CCP that time and look what happened, they changed an essential part of the game without even informing us ONCE! Not a single forum post or dev blog on the subject at all, for a change of that magnitude! Can you believe that, that's completely insane!

I mean, sh*t they could have even announced their ideas and timelines at Fanfest, where we could have all seen it. But they didn't, probably because they forgot or simply aren't working on anything.

So thank you again for reminding CCP to announce their plans. Because otherwise we would just log in one day and find a 1.2GB patch with a whole bunch of changes that weren't announced. Thank you so very very very much for being this pro-active. It really helps CCP to make a better game and it makes for interesting and civil discussions on the forums.

I recommend everyone likes OP's post to show their gratitude for all the work OP has done for us.

Rather than seeing a kneejerk response by Seagull, not much chance of that though, I'd like to know what the CSM think of it. Do CCP need to communicate more e.g.

support. no doubt they've seen the bloggers and the sub-Reddit and are actively working on it but i think we should know whats going on.
