EVE Information Portal

And another thing came up my mind with all those changes.
We play eve in our free time.
Now we should wait and sped our freetime haveing less fun and just idle for some kind of cooldown or by boaring travelling by gates?

CCP - in the small amount of time I have - I want to play this game and have time todo stuff! I don't want to move every second day a jf a jump and wait for the cooldown and fly the cyno around - that much time I do not have!

Please consider this!

Based on this person's other reply to my post I would not be straining too hard to expect accuracy here.

Well, even that would be better than the currently impenetrable fortresses spanning the whole null map.

What if these changes together make nullsec an interesting area of space again for EVE players? Don't you realize that currently nobody gives a **** about sov null, all the PVP players are in lowsec, NPC null, wormholes and hisec. Dullsec has a terrible reputation of 99% barren wastelands only populated by bots or botlike nullbears, and 1% by hotdropping alarm-clock neckbeards. Bots don't go to war, nullbears only when forced, and nobody wants to play with the neckbeards.

Give the non-nullseccers a glimmer of hope for change, and maybe they come. Game mechanic changes just drive the social aspects of EVE, and these are nearly impossible to predict.

In the short term, conflicts will arise due to the fact that the entire topology of new eden changed overnight. That this will happen is a certainty. Predicting the medium to long term is difficult because CCP still has at least 2 major changes planned of which we know quite little.

Less certain but still possible: the priorities of large alliances between local industry and logistics may shift as importing from Jita via JF is no longer the magic silver bullet that solves all of your supply problems. Local industry and mining provide additional targets for local entities.

Durrr, you dont say?
Because everyone totally thought it was possible to turn back a clock

Nothing you said precludes the likelihood these changes are moving in the right direction

No you dont get it, the world is ending!!!!

These changes will simultaneously do nothing and ruin errything!!!!1

This is just horrible. I hate how they made it so my character can only fly carriers and nothing else. I have no options like getting into a different ship after I take 10 minutes to move my Dread the intended strategic jump range of 10 LY.

So are you flipping your opinion or keeping it?

All these smaller entities that people think are suddenly going to magically appear out of nowhere and do something

I have no idea were this new wind came from that is blowing inside the walls of CCP. It is a new wind (storm). It is however not a positive one.

I have seen EVE in it's glory days. With a huge player base. Top on the cluster of >65K players (2013-05-05 19:09:04). This is these days decimated to just above 50% of that record. The last 24 hours there were 34,611 (2014-10-03 19:15:13).

Since 2013-05-05 there were multiple chances some good, some bad according to your play style. However it stays a fact that since that date the player base was decimated. Now your communicating you like to change long distance traveling. On page http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/long-distance-travel-changes-inbound/ you go into to full detail.

If you read that article you will notice that it is not regarding long distance traveling. That is just 1 part. The other part is limiting the times and the time within your going to be allowed to jump. We will get our fatigue and your cooldown timer. This does include all jumps. Not only capital ships but also black ops. Because every time you use any jump drive, jump bridge or jump portal (hereafter all treated as "a jump"; note that this does NOT include stargate travel!), you will accumulate jump fatigue.
So it conflicts with the flexibility of the game. It destroys one of the most fun part of the game due to it's limitations overall.

Reasons given:

Why this?/Why now?

- Nullsec is stagnant and needs a change. This is the first of many steps in our plan.

There are so many changes possible to change that. This change is not a validated one.

- Big fights are cool, but they’re crowding out more accessible and more frequent smaller ones.

Big fights have nothing todo with addressed changes. Big fights need many players so it is player based.

- These changes have positive implications for people not involved in sovereignty warfare, for example making use of capitals in lowsec less risky.

This is absolute BS (sorry!) But it is... There is nothing so dangerous as low-sec. These changes will have no influence on the scale of how dangerous low-sec is.

- We expect the impact of these changes to be emergent, and as a consequence are unpredictable and will take a while to develop on TQ. This plays into our longer-term plans, as you’ll see in a second!

Finally some reasoning. Give a token of intelligence and skip this please.


In appendix A you state following example

...At this point his total distance traveled is 17.51 LY, leaving him with 37.04 LY to go. He looks at his map, and finds a 40-route jump through nullsec to get to the same destination, and figuring two minutes per system, his warp travel time for the whole journey is a bit over half the cooldown for his next jump. He decides to fly there directly rather than trying to jump any further.

Of course people will use there Capital or even Super Capital to jump 40 jumps through lowsec by normal gates....

Did you ever play EVE? Did you ever own a Capital or Super Capital?

Please wake up out of your alternate reality and give us why we start playing this game.

My 2 cents.
