EVE General Discussion

I was mailed about your history and agreed to not dig in personally (unintentionally) but it seems you are sitting there hitting F5 repeatedly.
So, let us go with the other route then.
I have seen people with far less than you (that you have a computer and internet means that you definitely have more resources than they did) hit rock bottom and pulled themselves up with less than perfect health and less than a full deck of playing cards.

I hope you find your rock bottom is a lot more shallow than theirs was.

I think you are conflating my personal problems with my EVE ability. I've been to and conquered my rock bottom a long time ago, this week has not even come close, but it's been bad. I didn't join EVE until 2012. But what people in EVE don't know is that I spent 2008-2009 homeless. I came back from that through hard work and perseverance, both of which I still have to put in today to keep from returning to the gutter. But that doesn't bother me anymore, I know the meaning of effort these days.

I'm more annoyed that you would use me as an example of CODE, amongst whom many I would consider very good friends, not to mention much better people than I. Don't do that, seriously, I don't care what you think of me, but talk about my friends like they're scumbags as bad as me and I will break you.

Still, I shouldnt' be posting here in my current state of mind. I will refrain and ignore any and all responses to this post or others directed at me until I am fully sober. Even the effort of checking my spelling right now is hurting, but do not despair! I will be back tomorrow to crush those who might belittle the efforts of those that seek only to make high sec space a more appealing place to live! LONG LIVE THE CODE! LONG LIVE JAMES 315!

No, has to be another system in low or null sec.

The cyno can be lit, but nothing can jump to it.

I've never said anyhting about lvl4s being nerfed. SOE and Thukker aren't the only lvl 4 agents. What I have said is that those shouldn't be in high sec like that, becaise I myself have exploited them.



So nothing happened to you, but because something might, you abandoned that kind of game play.

That's dumb. I'm living in Wicked Creek right now. NCdot (my old alliance) is in hot drop distance. PL is too. I'm playing and having fun. i did lose a Rattlesnake to being stupid (I KNOW not to warp to the station and did it anyways), but it was an acceptable loss, because we're playing a video game.

Play as you will, just stop with the excuses. You got chased out of what you were doing by people you don't like (and your own personality issues), leave it at that.



And the whole idea is wrong on several levels.

#1, if you want that, there are several COSMOS areas/beacons with respawning 'no bounty' battleship rats. If that kind of PVE is what you actually wanted, you would have done that.

#2. The Luminare Titan has respawning battleship rats, you aren't there either.

#3. Several other high sec sites have respawning rats, you don't know about them because rather than look for them you come to the forums asking CCP to add for you content that already exists, even in high sec.

#4. you fixation on "lame people" is your biggest problem , if you stopped worrying about what others do, you'd have more fun.

End of the day Dracvlad, you are your own worst enemy. You can be mad at me for telling you this, but you are man, you have issues and rather than deal with this you sperg on these forums. I couldn't imagine being you.

Correct me if I am wrong, but surely the level of danger you faced before they tweaked recons was not all dissimilar to what you would be facing now?

Why would D-scan immunity for combat recons break the game? I mean, before, was it not a possibility that a hero in a covops could have lit a covert cyno to bridge in a T3 gang on top of you? Yet now, it's so bad you have to stop playing the way you did?

You seem overly bitter about it IMO.

I'm sorry but generalizing a group of people into good or bad is dumb. There's really bad people in CODE just s much there are good people in CODE. Denying that and assuming that there's only one type of people there is just stupid.

I actually did a EN24 article on it.

The issue is that I am mainly operating in NPC 0.0 so the system in terms of docking is not controlled. So from that prespective if you set up correctly you get D-scans so you have toons in D-scan range so you can mash that button to pick up cloakies, now that combat recons don't show up on D-scan that entire approach died. I had to have people in visual range to know what the enemy was in. Combat recons have abilities to neut from long range, scram and disrupt from long range and web from long range, this meant that you had no prior intel on those ships unless you had an account for each gate and every station.

I was using two PvP fit phantasms, with AB's, people who used interceptors would die, anything bigger would have a hard job to keep on me, the control that these combat recon ships have in terms of long range neuts, scrams, disruptors and webs meant that I had to take too much of a risk and could not control my engagement, which is especially important when you are in an area where the other people had more numbers. Alternative to being afk cloaky camped is use cheap ships like thrashers for belt ratting, but their worst nightmare is combat recon ships.

I did some tests with combat recon ships coming in against uncloaking force recons or T3's and in real life terms I found that the time I had to get out was reduced significantly in comparison to cloakies, one reason being due to their greater abilities in comparison to the cloaky ones. Its all about setting yourself up to make it harder for people, such as where you come into the belt and pulling the rats where you want them.

Often I could kill the rats and get out before the covert ops could get close enough, do you see it now, now all they needed to do was use something like a Cheetah which you can get to 660 m/s cloaked and bring the combat recons in on it once they got close enough to get their long range abilities in play.

This is why I did not like it, because my margin of error as an intelligent player that was maximising my odds to make it difficult for lame players was reduced to an unacceptable level so that even lazy tards could get me. Hence my annoyance with CCP.

SOE has grow into its position. Thukker I think was deliberate so that people would feel they are being clever. Some things are deliberately placed and not too well hidden in games so that players can feel a sense of achievement of "beating the system"
The key thing with both is that everyone has equal access.
