I have a recurring dream that some day people like you will realize that most of the highsec mercs have backgrounds that don't involve highsec. Until then, enjoy your delusions.



Heck even the so-called carebears in highsec have null backgrounds. Much has been done to drive people out of null, but for a while now people are just laying up waiting for the changes to be emplaces (supers, citadels, etc. )

they still haven't announced it in a dev blog,
this one went by word of mouth from player gatherings until it showed up in the patch notes.

I'm not sure when you started playing but looking at old vids from WAY back.. they still had the watchlist. (you can see online notifications pop up)

If their gonna stick to the buddylist, atleast change the locator mechanic to something useful.
As of tomorrow its almost as pointless as putting bounty on someone.

More stupid ideas from the great CCraP. Who comes up with this nonsense?

I don't know the details as I'm not playing eve as much, but it sounds like some schmercs are gonna have trouble. Absolutely tantalizing and most hilarious. All "mercs" will be consigned to hub hugging and camping pipes. Wait....nothing has changed. Rofl.

Use a locator agent, get an eve mail on where a target is.

Use an alt scout to go to the location, see if target is in local.

Run locator again if the target isn't in local. If they are listed as in system, you know they are offline.

It really isn't much different than if you knew your target but not their location.

The only unknown I can think of is what happens to our current list. Will we be spammed with notifications of people who already had us watch listed or will it just be cleared With us starting anew.

Never needed a watch list. But I expect a raging torrent of "merc" tears.

Forgive my ignorance on this matter but its been a number of years since Ive been around and i dont remember how things work. Doesnt this affect your "agents" that you use as well? I mean used to we could use a locator. Is this still in use and are they able to tell you if they are on or only their last known position

Have some mixed feelings about this.

It does kind of annoy that the tool that helps to narrow down my list of potential targets to those that are actually online is going away.

On the other hand the same tool was super handy for targets to know when the scary people hunting them were online as well.

Now if they want to see if the scary people are online, then they have to reveal that they too are online.
This tickles my Lovecraft sense, 'Recognition' is mutual... sometimes it's better to never see that thing that can now see you.

I foresee a new era of neutral scout alts swarming the skies of high sec in search of reds.
Well, that and more of the usual from those who predate specific areas for reasons.

Come hell or high water, this sick world will know I was here.

It's like the difference between how dogs and cats hide.

A dog hides it's head behind the tree, and thinks it's hidden because it can't see you.
A cat hides it's body, and peeks around the tree to see if you are still looking at it.Blink

I've got mixed thoughts on this. On one hand from a lore perspective you shouldn't know when a character is "online" but this change definitely hurts those of us who want to hunt down certain targets. The high sec merc thing in general needs a good review and making locator agents useful and immersive would be a good change. I'd like the ability to pay for some sort of corporation wide search that gives you a report on last known locations etc.
