EVE General Discussion

Uhm , wich will mean they can not change or add ANYTHING.

ah the daily ccp rant, i enjoy half reading these then thinking, hmmm i read something similar yesterday

Unfortunately, this.
Remember marauders rebalance thread, for example? Overflow of whine was of epic proportions back then, and positive feedback was at most equal in volume to negative, and it was basically same people posting anyway. However, we ended up with ships that people use for various purposes in PvE and PvP instead of being so-so mission running boats that required disproportional SP investment in comparison to what they did.

Holy s***, it was like 400 pages long. I don't even think feedback on sov (effing sov!), structures and missiles combined right now is that massive.

Reminds me of good old game development truism: don't ask what game people want, they actually have no idea.

I'm gonna say I understand the OP's point and I agree with the sentiment.

It's not the change (*cough* nerfing *cough*) that are the problem, It's the RAPID pace that these changes occur that's cause problems with people trying to adjust to the previous changes. All these rapid sudden changes is having a double edged sword effect. Sure CCP are making improvements, but the speed of these rapid changes are forcing players to make sudden adjustments too often and too quickly which in turn is killing the fun factor for eve.

Comments on Fozzie Sov, its early days, the new structures will be important in terms of how this really works, this is still a band aid approach in many ways. Yet once again one has to congratulate the Goons for such excellent play in getting their indicies up to reduce their exposure in Deklin, smart play as always.

The kiting the timer approach was expected and I was amused to see that mentioned by the Mittan, Laz and Elise as letting a secret out of the bag, guys that was understood by quite a few people as being the likely approach, I was amused to see that as a deliberate by CCP.

The amusing thing was seeing the Goons go on about troll interceptors at the troll level and then at the leadership level say its not going to work, again many of us realised that using interceptors was actually a waste of time and it would just be grab a kill or waste their time if you had coverage of course.

One thing that was news to me and does break the system is that the defender loses their indexes when the IHUB goes down, those indicies should not go down to 0 but should erode over time, CCP you are being idiots here. And when I hear that the indicies of the previous sov holder go to the new owner with the IHUB I thought doh, CCP again being silly...

I was listening to the comments by Elise about people holding 60 systems with 1,500 people and suggesting that these people go to a single constellation near NPC space and try to hold that and I thought nope, that plays directly into PL's hands. Those entities with a dedicated core player base can grab a load of systems and just be nomadic in those systems, that is the way to approach it if you are a 1,500 man alliance with a hard core of 300 dedicated active players. If you focus on one constellation then PL and the Goons can throw all their stuff at you and hell camp you, do not do it. Be nomadic in your space and you can weather this, do not get pushed into a final constellation all your stuff is there, it will kill your alliance, if your region starts to fall to too many attackers get out and then come back in when they have gone elsewhere. You need to be smart and hang in there, let them play wack a mile over a large number of systems, enjoy!

Silly man, the OP did not mentions Goons once.

I find people who don't read stuff and throw in stupid one liners as being being the real idiots

If you think you are the center of the world then you will see signs of this everywhere ....

There is a valid point in the original post.
The new development cycles might be too fast and depending on how they are being used, it might be like academics where they are being pushed into writing paper after paper, so there is so much white noise of mediocre publications that research is more difficult.
Quality > quantity?

Free stuff?
