I'm assuming it will end up being something along the lines of jumping causing quite a bit of stress on a ships systems and perhaps even the capsuleer directly.

Can't really think of anything else.

It's about time nullies see a little pain from all the gain of the past numerous expansions.

Guess what, if it's followed up by a sov system which doesn't suck, then we're all going to be all for it. Well, maybe with the exclusion of PL, NCdot etc, but can't win them all I guess. vOv

The RL truckers dealing with those laws aren't doing logistic work? You will either spread the load more onto more player to do logistic work or lose player because you are starving at the end of a small logistical chain until your current setup can keep up. The people sharing the load the best will be able to keep themself at a higher level than those who rely on too few dudes.

I'm probably going to recap what a lot of other people have said, but it needs to be pounded in deep into the minds of those at CCP.

The way this is being handled is just flat out wrong. It's market crushing on many levels. Forget about coalition/alliance/corp killing for just one moment and look at the overnight subscription drops that have taken place because of this. Not of new players, but of old time players in this game. I've only been playing Even since Fall of 2007, so no CCP Greyscale, I don't know what it was like in the "good ol' days". I took some time off after flying sub-caps and when I came back in 2010 I made it my goal to fly capital ships. This involved building a second character (and account) to build my capital ship and a third to move all of the parts Over the past 2.5 years I took that transition over to wanting to fly the bigger capital ships, supercap and titans. And over the past 18 months, some of the largest battles in the history of MMO's took place in this wonderful world we call Eve pushing the Eve servers to their breaking points. Those battles, while not the reason for some people to play this game is the reason that a LOT of us stick it out in the stagnation that we now call Eve. Taking away the one thing that a lot of people stuck around this long for after it got CCP the largest amount of free advertising in it's history (FOX NEWS, BBC News, Huffington Post, Australian News, etc, etc, etc, etc) seems counterproductive. It's now been almost 18 months since the early hints at player built stargates and 5 months since the Prophecy trailer came out confirming their existence.

I have a suggestion. If you're trying to stop large groups of players from "blobbing" across the universe when a fight breaks out, this is one very extreme method that will only lose CCP accounts/players/money. If you're truly set on using a cooldown timer after a jump and making it exponential at that, why not let it be reset at downtime? This avoids those large groups from making it across the universe, but allows those people to log in and actually play the game more than once a week without destroying their characters. Or, set a cap of 1 or 2 hours max. A great majority of the players in this game pay CCP to play this game. This isn't a free to play game. It's a pay to play. PLEXing aside, someone had to pay for that PLEX in order for someone else to buy it off of them. I'm personally aware of hundreds if not thousands of pilots that are already unsubbing their multiple accounts if this plan is implemented in it's current form (or anything close to it). Do something to save the game. This isn't it.

I like the direction. Keep going CCP!

Dear CCP

The jump fatigue idea is useless and will cripple most old players that use capitals. Remember that it is us, 5+ year characters, that make for most of your monthly subs and implicitly, salaries.

I (should I say we?) would suggest a 2nd visit on this possible "feature" as well as upon several others that could indeed use adjustment.

Best regards!
A seasoned player.

And the ****-storm is not even calming down, but I still need to ask a serious question.
You are about to make life in nullsec much harder. I dont mean warfare for PVP entities, I mean life for so-called 'citizens', who mine, build, run moon reactions and lose their ships to belt rats. And by 'much harder' - I mean MUCH HARDER, like before and after.

Do you have any plans to increase rewards as well?

Because mining 'rich' ice with 17% more isotope contents is not that kind of initiative, and even a 10% material discount at amarr outpost is not at all attractive if you cant export your products to the empire to compete with hisec bears.

So again - why would I go to nullsec except to get shot?

That's the thing that i find most exasperating here. It's not 'nullies' that will feel pain. As I said in that post, well established groups are in the BEST position to survive radical change. It's everyone else that isn't. The 'independents' in npc null are getting the mega shaft , for example.

You're literally celebrating a situation that will most likely lead to the rich getting richer, the established groups being able to gain MORE control, and higher prices for things you use (and OMG don't even get started on PLEX as alliances start to subsidize multiple character training in order to 'lengthen' their span of control counter to what these long distance jump changes expect).

I think 5LY on JF/Rorq will completely isolate some regions, as in make them 100% unreachable, such as Stain, Drone regions etc.
Nobody will ever run a freighter through gates, are you nuts :) Seems like not a thought out change.


Also seems like you might actually make 0.0 more stagnant because now its possible to have cynojammed buffer regions whereas previously you could have a scatter attack. Seems like this could make fights limited to a few key region entry points which will solidify the blue donut stagnation and make it impossible to launch a scatter attack on larger spaces.




Haha it's funny how they completely omit that part, makes you wonder if they thought this through.
