EVE General Discussion

so, these new events, the OP Frostline (OPFL) and the Blood raider gauntlets (BRGs) are alot of fun, and i would love it if they continued to do these. however i do think that there need to be tweaks.

The BRGs i find had a good amount of spawns, usually finding a couple per hour."
The OPFL spawns are TERRIBLE. now i dont know if its just terrible luck, but ive been roaming around for 2 stints of about 9 hours, so 18 hours total and ive only found 3 sites, one of which got jacked. which brings me to my next point.

The competition for the loot is awesome, i love it, especially in low and null.

HOWEVER. nothing is more frustrating then clearing out 90% of a site and then someone enters your room and ninja kills the last BC. this is fine for low and null, as you can fight them off without being concorded. however, in highsec, you cant just open fire, and therefor you cant protect your claim to the site.

so my suggestion applies only to highsec. Making the final acceleration gate have a timer of 10-30 seconds of accessibility after being accessed the first time, and after that timer expires, its locked.

I know i know "play better, be faster, dont be a scrub" but not all of us can be as efficient as most of the experienced pilots, and its not a good game mechanic where you do all the hardwork and then just get backstabbed at the last second. in low and null this is totally totally fine, i have no issues with it, but in highsec, you cant do anything but sit there and fester with anger and not being to do ANYTHING about it.

I will admit that the final blow only mattering is a poor way. If I was to do it, I would track site damage and create a spawn container that rewarded top damage for the site.

It is a bad point to make though from a business standpoint. Sure it is a bit about eve in that powerful gets it, as it should be. I doubt new players would have issue with something of legitimate contest. Screwing somebody over with a timed last blow is all fine and dandy for lulz, but gratz ccp, chose lulz over competitive play.

"We have released a festive and fun site for all to enjoy and maybe find loot! Compete for them!"

"Except anybody new. Yes, there is more site possibility in low and we understand most don't have the skills or experience to clear a site in these systems in a timely matter to avoid gank, but do not fear! Nullsec and highsec give the same rewards meaning that there is more incentive for veterans to just yoink em right from under you! That is okay, just train T3D and fit an alpha hecate and do not shoot until somebody else shoots first"

Makes for riveting event. Nom nom isk for vets like me. I love being able to get better and faster turnout stealing all the sites in a gank ship that can rapid fire alpha everything fast lock in the highsec. Why would I want to go to low and null? There it takes longer to find a site clear and I have to do it in a lower dps ship since is fit for low and null.

Troll and lulz doesn't keep a game alive, gameplay does. Facing facts, the frost line and BRG is anything but engaging aside from lulz.
