EVE General Discussion

LOL non-super pilots are gonna unsub too because supers got nerfed

Look N3/goons/etc just leave your space after Sov 2.0, theres plenty of former sov holders, bitter enemies, and adventurers just waiting for the chance to get their piece of the null pie.

Linking an EN24 article in the first post should be a bannable offense.

This is good new for all the noobs and those who cannot fly them! However, EVE to me and many others has been about trying to obtain the best, the rare, ..... so now what? What is there? What happens when all the "new players" want something big and shiny to fly? SOL??
CCP, I have played since 2004, I have been ok with almost every change until recently. You are pushing out the old players, and odds are, they account for most of your income. This is the only change in which I am giving serious thoughts to quitting EVE, not a break, like I have taken a few times, but quitting. I have loved EVE for over 10 years! It has been an awesome game! I understand the need for change, but this is not just change, I hope ccp can see that. That said, I'll try it, hell I haven't used my super in almost a year.... wont miss it. But I think this will be a bad choice by CCP, IMO its first BIG one.

Beautiful

Same here.

That sounds intinteresting!

You know, I actually feel bad for the pilots that trained for supers.

Yes, I have been the person in the camp of "nerf the supers!". Not as something I've started threads over, but something I've generally agreed with when other people talked about it. But, it was always just a fun rallying cry like a high school pep rally. Never had I imagined anything like this.

Super pilots do have my sympathies. No sarcasm there. Having the rug pulled out from under you in such a dramatic fashion is just, well, disheartening.

But I also can see it might be better for the larger game. People have already pointed it out, so I don't really think I need to go over it again. But CCP long ago painted themselves into a corner by putting in this massive apex ships/force multipliers without having a good way of fitting them into the existing meta (way back when they were first introduced). They made them too powerful, no amount of ISK or train time really stopped anyone from acquiring them, especially in large numbers, then it became a clusterfluke.

This is what happens when you introduce content without a good long-term plan for it fitting into the game. It became the elephant in the room in this game for far too long, then people invested heavily in them, and then you're at a point where you're upsetting people no matter what you do. This move is probably healthier for the long-term interests of the game, but the people in those ships have every right to be upset. I know I've been mildly upset every time I trained into something and it got nerfed (I had a really bad run of luck for a while).

Morale of the story is: have a plan for your content and make damned sure it fits in the game. If not, adjust it quickly and sooner rather than later.

So, are we getting ANY statement from CCP here?

jump fatigue is definitely a boost for lowsec.

of course, and i was commenting on mine.
