Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Were you the one who asked CCP at Eve Down Under to make CONCORD "smarter"? I spoke to you after and gave you a bunch of tips to avoid ganking, and for new players. Also here's one regarding pod ganking:


NEVER use autopilot.


You're welcome.

This is BS.

If anything suicide ganking needs to be made easier not harder.

I used to be in a highsec pirate corp who could easily make money by ganking haulers, then they changed the insurance mechanics and we had to leave for lowsec.

Personally I'd like to see a return to the good old days, where with enough logi you could sit on a gate fighting off the police whilst ganking whoever you chose to, up until some white knights came along and ruined your party.


I also object strongly to the police now being able to jam your cloak from the other-side of the system just because you're wanted. If they have that kind of targeted decloak technology why hasn't someone nicked it and solved that other whingers problem; the afk cloaky in local?

It's not hard to avoid being ganked/podded, if you're too lazy or stupid to work out how and so precious about your virtual possessions that you rage quit when it happens, then good riddance.

+1 to the idea of concord podding people (perhaps only below -5?)
otherwise, just whine.

This thread wins the "Just one more nerf and it will be balanced." thread of the month award.

Congrats.

Here's the ultimate question.

HOW IN THE HELL DID YOU GET POD KILLED IN HS????

If you've got more than 1 year in Eve, you should know how to emergency warp your pod by now...




I get your point, but no...
CCP changed the ease of ganking for a reason.
It's a necessity to have some level of secure space in order for new players and vet players who've lost everything, in order to establish or re-establish themselves within the game.

Apart from that, ganking isn't exactly that difficult.
I watched a CODE pilot streaming about a month ago.
They failed a gank because they didn't have enough dps.
They then came back a second time against the same ship, but failed again.
Then came back for a 3rd attempt on yet still the same target.
Granted, they failed and the target got away.

However, the point here is that they were able to hit the same target 3 times and the only reason they failed was due to bump fails.

That was at least 45 minutes of holding a target down...
You can't pull that off in low or null sec.

The fact that you went to low sec to avoid insurance loss is moot.
Besides, I don't see where a payout in 200k isk is such a huge loss...

So in other words...you are playing stupid...on purpose. Then you come here and whine on the forums when your stupidity bites you in the ass. Got it. I wont say you are stupid, but damn son you are doing a damn fine imitation.

Personally, wardec mechanics are a larger issue than ganking.
Also, if you're losing a pod to HS ganks, you're either too new for it to really matter, or too fail to accomplish an emergency pod warp, which is quite easy in HS considering you don't have to worry about bubbles.

When did you log in last time?

Concord is not there to protect, but to punish.

This is how it has always been, and there are too many effective counters to the issue if you make just a little effort.

Retriever fit was poor, t2 rigs inflated the cost with no gain. If gankers around then refit, procurer, insured, shield tank, reinforced builkhead and damage control in lows, orbit the asteroid. You can easily make it much harder for them and much cheaper for you...

Failing that, set the gankers to red, and watch local. Although to be honest, and this is serious advice, once you put this level of effort in when mining then believe me you will be a lot better mining in nullsec...

That is a load of steaming crap. Podding people in HS has been something that has been in game forever, so the idea that it is suddenly the cause of retention issues is highly dubious and just some convenient post hoc ergo propter hoc bullshit to push an agenda.

Go peddle your tripe somewhere else.
