Sure call it goon tears. Just as long as you link this page on Reddit so devs will see it.

Sweet sweet irony.

Bring back Darius....at least he knows the game and how to lead.....and might fight rather than just make excuses.

And lolreddit....what a horrible reading experience.

The easiest solution would be to introduce the faction warfare system ownership system to null. One difference, make all the plexes that spawn ungated. Obviously, make it so people can light cynos and warp in/out as well. That way people will get lots of things to fight over if they want to take sov in a system and blueballing won't really do much to stop them. It's the perfect system.

And Darius seemed happy when he told me he gave away his characters and won EVE. I wouldn't wish it on him.

Keep up the good fight Rain, I'm sure CCP will bail you out soon.

lol. What disturbs me is the possibility that CCP dev success is measured in gate jump metrics. Like, a flat increase in gate jumps was the ultimate goal of entosis sov, and that is why sov gameplay sends us all over a constellation to chase down nodes.

"But activity is up!"

I want to point out we're still having massive fleet engagements over things like POSes, holdovers from pre-entosis gameplay with a considerable HP well.

We used to have these same massive engagements over TCUs and IHubs. But that gameplay is avoided now.

I think capture should look like a pool of 500 or 1000 entosis minutes, with a cap on simultaneous entosis modules based on ADM.

The logic behind it is to swap capitals needed in the past with subcapitals, each with an entosis link. This breaks up the capital requirement of HP grinds, and also solves the small gang harassment.

I am posting this as one of Asher's children who enjoyed 50-man Ishtar HP grinds in Querious and other parts of Sov space.



The minutes should be decaying minutes. If the attacker walks away from the campaign, the minutes should fall off back to zero. I like where you are going with this.

Some of us have been around a long time.
We remember the OOG ts crashing.
We remember the deliberate node crashing ("ooo haha dump all them shuttles").
We remember the Goon spew of "we are here to ruin your game".

Just BOHICA and enjoy it without whining for changes.

I agree, and instead of stront, entosis links should run on successful hacking minigames per cycle and drain all your cap.

Also CAPTCHA authentication because you're trying to .... capture a node

it makes complete sense CCPLease

Why should you care who I am or know me?

Are you such a celebrity that it matters?

I don't know YOU beyond your pitching for a selfishly one-way game change.....with a Goon tag.

I will add my voice to the many. Please, please reduce the number of sov vulnerability timers. Every day we log in, that's all we do is defend space. There's no time for anything else. I work and have a family life to enjoy.

At least with a paying job you get two days off. Take these vulnerability timers down to 3 days a week.

You'd developers must think there are hundreds of thousands of people playing this game. That or that we're all unemployed with nothing better to do. Reduce the timers for goodness sake.

Thanks


Better idea: Remove all sov together. There are way, way too many mechanics in the game that are there just to determine the color of the map.

I don't like Goons, but Rain is usually quite astute.

Just putting that out there.

You mean just a presence in the system would indicate who owns it? Outrageous! We could pretend they are ours then. Shocked

I'm not sure where the assumption that Thera was supposed to become a hub for peaceful activity came from. It has a lot of connections, so it has become a hub - just not the hub for activities you've mentioned.

lol, everyone knows rain, be serious pls.

And the point is sound, the new mechanics don;t promote fights, the old mechanics that still exist do. That should be evidence enough that the new mechanics are terrible. If that's not enough for you, how about looking at how CCP scrapped entosis mechanics for citadels and plan to move sov modules into citadels. Where do you think that will leave entossis mechanics?

Entosis is dire and I don't think it has much of a shelf life remaining, it would just be nice if CCP tacked on minor QOL improvements while we still have to put up with them.

I don't think you know what crying is. Those are simply the facts, but by all means point out what parts of my post are dishonest. Or is constructive conversation beyond your reach?

To be honest, he is not exactly wrong. Things that are tied to entosis currently do little beyond paining the map. Fights happen over assets that are more valuable in terms of practical usefulness. This could not be said about old pre-entosis sov structures, by the way.

Although when it comes to reasons behind current events in the North, I'd give more credit to jump changes. It gives people more reason to get involved with static warzone, prevents staggering response to every attack from defender's main forces and makes fighting without everyone cooperating to fight as a single fleet every time more viable.

But I may be underestimating other reasons.
