Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Nah. I just think that with bombers castrated, the major detriments to fielding shield tanked ships are gone. In the current era of Ishtars and Tengus, it's a breath of fresh air.

Token of effort? My dear friend and ignorant bloated bee you've gotten too fat on the sweet honey of complacency! If you'd only gone back a few years ago to the posed gate mechanic changes and sentry proposals to low sec youd see ive been quite active and vocal in the past which resulted in those changes not happening.

It doesn't take a CSM vote to make things in New Eden change. Certainly not if it's just the same group of ankle biting pompous self indulged personalities that grace the likes of reddit and failheap. But hey. Typical mindset of the ignorant. If you don't vote for a candidate that doesn't hold your best interests in mind you have no right to complain.

Cute.

Really hope you reconsider this change.

This is pretty far afield of anything I was actually talking about.

Also, I can fly an ishtar quite competently -- thanks for asking!

So obviously my previous post was poking fun at everyone complaining. This is just going to be one of those things where everyone is gonna complain, its going to happen anyways. So rather than complain about it start practicing not relying on fleet warps. I mean it is really not an elegant solution or all that complicated. Most of the complaints I hear are totally fixable by just adapting. It'll be nice to actually have use for tactics and in fleets for everyone to be accountable for their own movements to strategic locations. I see a lot of stragglers or overly cocky players being killed in fire and not being able to blame the FC anymore. Yeah it's going to suck losing perches and other fun strategies that are incorporated now but I think this will allow for some interesting gameplay changes. I don't know if will be good, I don't know if it will be bad. All I know is all you can do is adapt and have fun with it. I honestly am excited to see what new methods of fighting people will have. Who knows maybe the days of endlessly cat and mouse PVP will end and there will be some actual brawling for a change. As far as the WH issues here is an idea if you scan something down pay attention to the star map tell your fleet to go to the nearest celestial and they will be on grid much faster same thing goes for bookmarks and other things like that. Maybe you take a couple of hits but if you are scanning SIGs in a WH you should have enough tank to last at least a few seconds and your fleet should have LOGI. As far as the insta-dock, if you are in a capital in a system you undocked in (cynos should always be lit at the insta-dock), you don't know to have an insta-dock, and you don't self warp you are a moron. Lastly, they learning curve may be steep but that is why there are different types of space, the game doesn't start you out in null-sec in a corporation that is part of an alliance that is part of a coalition that expects you to know what you are doing and have experience. You start in Empire space for a reason. There is a buffer between experienced players and new players obviously at times that buffer is broken and the new players learn rough lessons. The fun of EVE is learning the ins and outs and adapting to the changing dynamic.

Because it's under the cheating of Bob and deva that the CSM was formed in the first place. A check and balance system. Now it's as selfish and twisted as anything else in Eve. Sure there's a handful of members who generally care. But there's those few sweet charitable personalities who are only in it for the agenda of their groups they ally with.

Not to hold CCP in check but to bend CCP to the changes THEY want. Case in point. These changes are clearly a vieled nerf to bombers and is just another account for someone to need to run.

I mean we can suggest things and give feedback however at the end of the day its CCP who decides what goes in and what doesn't. With that said I wanted to see combat probing and bombers nerfed. This change accomplishes both. Is it exact optimum ? Thats subjective I have gotten lots of positive feedback and likes for my post in regards to the subject. However as normal it is usually those that are dissatisfied with a issue that are usually most vocal. Unfortunately with constraints of NDA sometimes its hard for CSM to explain positions clearly. Perhaps you don't feel this is a positive change but others do. I can remember a vocal portion of the community unhappy when the AOE doomsday was removed or when Jump Fatigue was added. I have to say I feel for CCP it is nigh impossible to please everyone all at the same time.

You complain about adapting and "skill", insult my skill as an Eve player, yet boast about flying an ishtar well. I think I wet myself just now laughing.

Might I suggest CSM rep if the problem is bombers and combat probes that you adovacte they be fixed and not a normal functiom like fleet warps.

Please give the small/micro gang elite pvp jerks their arena to go fight in and stop buggering up strategic fleet warfare.

Thanks, looking forward to this change.
