EVE General Discussion

Yeah, but that's not the real problem.
You shouldn't stay too much on the forums, every post attracts a lot of trolls and in general creates a huge sh*tstorm.

Kills are always in high demand in EVE, and things will always shift to where the supply is.

So ... uhm ...

Grab your friends ...
... jump into tornados ...
... alpha the **** out of everyone?



Edit:

Could you guys (and Sibyyl!) please WAIT until I posted?
Seriously! I open the thread and there's no response!
By the time I click SEND you posted your crap before I did!

That's unacceptable!

Thanks!

Thats what you get when you bolt on metal arms.

It's early days, but I'm not in the least surprised.

As predicted.

This is the only thing I fault CCP for. They say "we don't know what the players will do" and it's as if they never saw what the players did.

This thread should be cross linked with the killmail addiction thread for more rounded illustration.


More content I won't be bothering with for the sake of bothering with it but hey maybe something will come up in a few years.

I don't know why CCP doesn't just replicate what works in FW for null. Allow player made structures to show up on overview that provide some sort of benefit / incentive / isk without a quick get away. Like....ESS?

They have solutions to the camping / blobing play, I just hope they are going to add them soon. Either that or people prefer that type of gameplay and we are in the minority.

Just wait a while for all of the fuss to die down. See what the tempo is like in 3 months say...

Ah I see your point but let me ask.

Is it deadly for a reason? Is there some "golden loot"? Some item of value? Something to derive from there? Are the Sisters handing out Level 6 missions or something? Is there something lore-related that could be a game changer?


You see this is an old argument. Players need a better reason than PVP to be there because they are either not interested in it, or are not good at it, or have done it already.

Then there's profit to deal with. I'm no fan of min-maxer ISK obsession (it's just as degenerating to the game as stats obsession IMO) but even the players who care less about ISK and stats cannot find any motivation to help someone elses killboard.

Even a strongly fostered sense of Stockholm Syndrome could not suffice.


So there is no other reason to be there, and not everybody has the same reason.

(and for having pointed that out, there will be the two or three usual forum trolls along soon touting their "this is not single player" and "this is PVP" dogma)

All I can see Thera for at this point is a reason to keep a bunch of ghetto boat T1s handy just in case the local constellation gets a "glory hole" to Thera and there's an itch to lose said ships more dramatically.
