EVE General Discussion

Cue new EVE theme song (sung to the "Green Acres" theme music)

Hi-sec is the place to be
Ice mining is the life for me
'roids spreading out so far and wide
Keep Null-sec, just give me that care bear life

Dear Goon,

Ask your own "org" about the lack of gudfites. Posting in GD to ask other people is a lot like how your leadership is always looking externally to solve a problem of their own invention.

You are the mercury in our tuna.

And, grr.. you.

Surely, EVE-O is neutral ground enough that you wouldn't say such things, even if only to placate me. Sibyyl.

Your first favorite Goon, does the name start with a C and rhyme with Nommissar?

I saw jump fatigue as an attempt to reign in promiscuous use of game mechanics that was quickly eclipsing everything all at once. The component that's constantly overlooked, a$ once you pa$$ a few thre$hold$ $ome thing$ become incon$equential to you...if you catch my DRIFT....is the idea of cost itself being a sort of governing factor to certain activities.

From my humble corner cap ships, hot dropping, weeklong thousand ship fleet fights with no change in the map at ALL were becoming as common as duels in Hek....every fifteen seconds. The affordability hurdle being no hurdle at all turned what were intended to be epic events with map altering outcomes into nothing more than spars. It became too EA$Y. So...I have to admit, they came up with a rather ingenious way to give it some perspective and proportion without altering the underlying structure too heavily.

Of course, those who were rolling in the mud having a gay old time, figuring life will be fine from here to kingdom come, being a pig in this mudhole is a young boyz dream...naturally they'll be butthurt over it! Naturally they'll squeal like stuck....where does bacon come from again? And, so they did. However. The concept of deploying force has fundamentally changed. For the good? That'll be determined by movement of the blue donut...after a while. If at all.

I'll speculate on that. I think the motivations for achievement in EVE are different. I think the people who think in terms of geopolitics have been replaced with people who think in terms of ranged conflict. By that I mean, there's a universe's difference between taking and holding. Our new breed....well...it remains to be seen if they're cut rate Napoleons, or digital Alexander the Greats. Puzzle that one out with a copy of Sun Tzu in your lap....this is, if you HAVE one.

TYVM. Have a nice day!

Grrr.

None of the null players is doing much right now as they wait for the Sov announcement. Also, if you think we're the problem, who owns the entire south of the map and is renting it out?



People did warn CCP when they announced the changes that this would happen, but it was drowned out by posters who would never take advantage of the situation and also didn't understand it how these changes would affect the game as a whole. All they saw was the large alliances were getting a nerf to capital deployments yet failed to realise this would just lead to entrenchment and ultimately make nullsec quite dull. I doubt you'll ever get a B-R ever again, it takes days to move a capital force across the map now and those entities which provided the medium scale fights and the bush wars no longer deploy due to the logistical problems of moving doctrines from one part of EVE to another in a carrier. In effect, Pheobe killed off casual players - read: have a job, which is most of us - being able to use carriers as a method of deploying and thus what made up those ~gud fites~ and imaginative doctrines.

The current EVE null fleet meta - and therefore what fleet fights you'll see - has boiled down to what is an effective doctrine you can move through a wormhole and is highly mobile. This is one reason you see literally everyone in Ishtars, Tengus and bombers and little else.

The Eye of Sauron was bad, all would agree that, but the measures taken to nullify it were not thought through in a wider context.

Want fights? Go find the new boys in town - Drifters. Check their killboard.

Or maybe they will find you. Stand by.

They were clear. Any 3rd party program that facilitates ease of gameplay such as 1-click drives multiple clients is bannable. having multiple clients running and individually controlling, also considered under the multiboxing umbrella, is allowed.

God forbid their vision for their game isn't the same as your vision for ... their game. Of course, you've done nothing all these months if not display your superior knowledge with regard to computer game development. How fond affection creates expertise. (You should take your talents to the world of marriage.)

That's a mighty big lump of butt hurt over the fact that you tend to be wrong when we communicate lol.

It has nothing to do with my viion of any game, I'm not a game maker. I'm commenting on how CCP does something with a goal in mind and that goal not only doesn't happen, the opposite happens. Or Did I just imagine this from 4 years ago?



Since I'm somehow wrong here, Pok Nibin, please demonstrate to me the parts of the above quote that actually happened.
