As a game feature to attract new players, Incursions are an excellent piece of work. They fix the most fundamental problem of the new player experience - a lack of safe and social interaction that is fun. Incursions introduce players to the social aspect of EVE gameplay; fleet ops. The barriers to entry for doing incursions are low. They require teamwork, and there is an element of risk (esp if you are new). These are all great things for getting new players to join the EVE universe, allowing corporations and alliances to recruit more bodies and allowing the game universe to thrive.


Now let's compare your text with this:

Here's the catch, incursions *should* be a game feature to attract new players but the incursion elitist overlords found out they could seize them and make them their personal brothel.

The new players don't even get invited. Those with 3B ships that take a year to train do.

The oh so bad griefers are also disrupting the incursion overlords and THEY are inviting newer players.
The fun result is that the oh so bad griefers are helping new players to PvE more than the elitist PvEers who instead leave them out or out-compete them.

Most newbies roll up to incursions in Maelstroms/Ravens/Rokhs/Abaddons. Not T3 and Faction BS.


Ever tried flying an incursion capable BS? Even a Mael / Raven etc. involves extensive training in many, many prerequisites.
It's certainly not a newbie thing. Nor a newbie got 150M to risk.

"EVE is PVP," I wish CCP would just change the damn game motto to this so we would stop having to educate all newcomers and WOW raiders.


No, EvE is what you make of it. Putting a label on it would immediately give it a "theme", a "purpose" and therefore make it a theme park exactly like the other crappy MMOs.

Okay. The hourly reward from HIGHSEC incursions should be no more than the average hourly reward doing level 4 missions.
You are forgetting LVL 4 missions can be done solo in a drake by a 1 month old character. Any incursion requires forming fleets with highly specialised pilots which take years to train.

You just CANNOT do incursions solo, you WILL NOT GET PAID if your fleet have less than a minimum number of pilots.

I'm not forgetting anything. And the reward would be per person. So if some longterm char with a faction BS can earn 75M ISK per hour soloing lvl 4 missions, then a fleet of experienced dudes running an incursion should earn 75M ISK per hour each.

Oh, is that all? How accommodating.

Jo Hei wrote:
I for one think that this particular "Sandbox MMO built around player conflict" could really use more players to conflict with.


I for one think that you (among others) are using concepts like "more players" and "new players" and "community" as sympathy shields to protect your agenda, namely the ability to farm low-risk Incursions perpetually without interference from other players, even with CONCORD at hand to prevent any serious violence.

Jo Hei wrote:
That's why I support a game feature which allows new players to learn how to fly, how to make money, and how to deal with risk at an early stage. Eventually they will get down to PVP, one way or another.


Those lessons can be learned perfectly well regardless of the Sansha mothership being killed ASAP or logistics cruisers being jammed. In fact, I'd conjecture that being interfered with by other players early on is much better preparation for an eventual career in PvP.

Furthermore, those lessons can be learned without Incursions, and indeed were learned before Incursions. If Incursions are really about learning to play the game, why do you object to the "defend your assets from other players" portion of the experience?

Wow, it's 8p.m. CST Sunday night and their are only 31,000 people online according to eve stats we maxed at around 50,000. While I know some of that is maxing with EU/US overlap it looks like number of pilots online might be down 4,000-5,000+ with the closing of all high sec incursions.

BTW I brought up D&D to point out that people like to get together for scheduled gaming events.

Go do it.

If you think moon goo mining isn't more dangerous than highsec Incursions.. go do it. What's stopping you? Perhaps the same reason that is stopping you from doing something in your favor ingame with Incursions? Lack of courage.. self confidence.. don't got a pair.. what's your reason?



How do you get a pair? Do you need to do 10 blob runs and some alliance gives you a pair? Or gangbang some lone shuttle at the 0.0 gate Pee v Pee on each other like dogs on a car tire?

How do you know what I do in this game? You don't. I don't run incursions either I just laugh at you Null Epeeners.

Maybe If I DC in a blob I will learn confidence?


Quit peddling around in a circle like a circus clown, asking for people to look at you to see how silly and irrelevent you are behind a mask.

Back up your own quote with some a reasonable statement. Explain exactly how and why you believe moon mining is equavilent or less dangerous than Incursion running for Isk. What is more 'leet'.. having multi-billion battleships and crying when they are blown up or rendered 'useless' for npc farming.. or throwing ships at other players ships to defend or conquer space and/or ideals? Stereotypes tend to exist for a reason.

Now backup your own quote.. or be a lil ***** and back-peddle out of it. Choice is yours, spot light on.. what are you going to do?

Or they might be off watching a football game. Or enjoying a bbq with their families. Or having sex. Or engaging in some other activity that does not involve grinding an incursion.

But hey, online gaming worlds are what dreams are made of and it seems Klaasvakie has been visiting you.

Well we're down under 31,000 at 8 PM on a Sunday. At this point we're beginning to see the knock on effects of drop in player participation. I know I just logged off two market alts as volume is way off right now. Speaking of better things to do. . .

Hey CCP anything that kills your players online numbers like this is a serious fing problem.

Incursions are funny. A lot of the people that run them are the same types that are hardcore raiders in other games. They raid to get gear to raid to get gear to.....you get the idea. Incursions are no different, except it's isk for mods/ships for isk for mods/ships. Honestly, Eve isn't a very good place with that sort of player. Most of us that play Eve play it for the ability to do whatever they want. Consequences or no. The raider types can't handle it when someone's fun gets in their way, directly or indirectly.

Also, what's wrong with killing the mom when its there? IMO, CCP should make the incursions harder the longer the mom is spawned and just left there, with no increase in rewards. Seriously, incursions are supposed to be Sansha offensives. Why do they just sit around idling while their **** gets blowed up?



Raider types can and do handle it.

Point of Reference the Massive Massive Ban List that BTL has. High Sector Incursions have never been safe.

http://www.g4mer.net/blist/index.php

There has been Griefing since day one. But there is a huge difference between dying while participating in an Incursion VS being denied the Incursion environment altogether.

But ruining the weekend play to thousands fo High sector players because a selected few feel that all players should play in the bitter world they live in that is an Incursionless world is not the right approach. I hope CCP give perma bands as they are costing real memberships from the game.

Whenever a high sector player decides he wants his ship to be blown up all he as to do is set auto pilot to the nearest 0.0 gate.


LOL A lot of the people that are on that list have reasons listed as : Starting or posting in "griefer" threads on the forums... And not actually doing any griefing in-game.

I run Incursions to fund my PVP habit...

I think Ive made 700 mill running Incursions... which is more than enough to fund my PVP addiction.

What Brick is doing is Fukked up! PPL should be able to make isk with the tools CCP has provided.

These scare tactics aren't going to work.

Everyone is aware that certain people are mad because they can't farm Incursions 23.5/7 without interference right now. These are the very same people who laughed at what's-her-face when she started that thread and chat channel a while back, exclaiming in ominous tones that anyone who dared interfere with highsec Incursions would be wardecced out of existence.

Begging your pardon, but why have Incursion runners skipped the "you better not mess with us" approach and skipped directly to starting mass complaint threads in EVE General Discussion, complete with "I'm quitting," "look how many of us are quitting," and "CCP, make them stop hurting us"?
