Warfare & Tactics

Hey dear CCP. How have you been lately ? What ideas will you come up with to ruin our fun in this wonderful game ? You have made alot of changes. You introduced fatigue, you nerfed the range of the capital jump range , you chanced the fighters and carriers mechanics ( that was a cool change ) then you nerfed it. You changed the bastion module to take weapon aggro on activation and you cant dock up when links mods are active. Alot of more cool changes like this to come.

But when are you going to do something about the high-sec pvp mechanics ? When are you going to do something about these wonderful people that accepts a duel from your t1 cruiser and have 2 guardians repping them ? Or those awsome mates who swaps their frigate for a t3 cruiser using a bowhead ? Where is the fun and honor in those fights ?

Best regards,

I understand what you are saying. But CCP should make something, like they did for mining ships ( gave them more tank ) or unscanable cargo for t2 transport ships.

What can you do in a situation like.. you undock your stabber, you invite another stabber to a duel and 2 guardians are repping him from 50km away. ( and ready to undock 10 more if needed ) and you have only 1 toon . The only thing to do is not fight these people.

I don't want to move out of high-sec only because you want me to . ( i know you dont want and you don't care, just saying )

Yes, joining RvB is a good way to get fights. It's not about learning tricks or tactics, it's about CCP ignoring some things that usually in another context they wouldnt. Yes probaly most of you will say .. it's game mechanics. So was bumping freighters and not allow them to warp was game mechanics, until they changed it.

I am not one-little-bit with you on this. The entire history of eve is littered with people who are unhappy at being bested by others who are: better resourced (friends or equipment); better prepared; more skilled; or more experienced. Rather than adapt their game to accommodate those difference some people whine for CCP to ‘fix’ things.

What happens with those so-called fixes is that the better players quickly adapt to the new situation, while the poor players continue getting killed and find something else to blame.



AFAIK the bumping of freighters, and other ships, has not been removed from the game. Last weekend one of my hisec alts was waylaid by a [CODE.] alt in their bumping Machariel. I managed to escape before the destroyer fleet arrived … that same old resources-preparation-skill-experience paradigm, with a generous dash of luck thrown in … but I was most certainly unable to enter warp due to the bumping.

Why should CCP bother about creating mechanics for fair fights if the game is NOT about fair fights?

didnt they counter this stuff anyway with jump destroyers, just jump him out of logi range :)

yep. Use your brains.

Yeah theres leveraging experiance and knowladge but we are talking about undock humping degenerates here.
Advice goes, dont be a dumbass, just ignore them and go about your day.

Suspect someone of having neutral logi? Bring friends or have alts. This is a social game, there are plenty of people that hate war decs that would gladly shoot our suspect logis. Adapt or die.

Swapping out of a bowhead is impossible now due to CCP, but if it were still possible.... Bump the bowhead away from your target.

The issue is that you dont want to have to put forth the same amount of effort, assets, or social ties that others will employ. Until you do so and its still mechanically unfair, stop crying.

If you are unprepared or too risk averse to step to someone that is well prepared and looking for action.... Then ignore them and go on your way?

In no way does this game favor the lone or solo player. This is an MMO, so you either need friends or alts. Theres nothing wrong with that. This isnt World of Warcraft... Hell even in wow most things require teamwork.
