EVE Information Portal

well on the one hand i kinda regret spending so much time in skilling fighters V and minmatar+gallente carrier. but on the other hand i think that making ratting harder and less effective in carriers is great.

increase the prices for pirate stuff, reduce income. make money more valuable and make people use cheaper ships again instead.

and to all those carebears who are crying like little girls about how they are not able to do their freakin 60 mil / tick (i do it myself so dont play it down): you lost any idea about the worth of isk. "end content" is not to just undock and generate an infinite amount of money, it is not to be able to field marauders in pvp just for the lols because you can easily replace it with two hours of ratting.
just deal with it. on a longterm, it's a good thing.

As a ten year player of the game I can say with confidence, CCP you are stupid.

Once again instead of refining a great environment with a surgeons knife you dismember it with a jackhammer. When will you ever learn?

A 30% reduction in super damage? Nerfing rorquals yet again? Have you ever played this game?

It is just so easy to balance this game....Reduce the damage application by supers i.e. make them hit rats and not instapop cruisers duuuuuuuuuuuuh, keep their ratting dominance, and keep rorquals as the drivers of industry... I just don't get how you can make the same stupid screw ups over, and over, and over, and over.

Lets summarize...Decrease ratting yield $$$$$, decrease mining yield $$$$$, decrease deadspace drops $$$$$, just admit you need money. Sad. Sad. Sad. Maybe we can just all play WoW.

they have a capitals focus group (of which i am a part)

they didn't even inform us of the changes, we found out at the same time as you guys

No tears or whining from this Goon. CCP let us build incredible wealth and power over the last year or so with over-powered mining and ratting game mechanics. Imperium pilots taking advantage of these mechanics have become beyond rich. We have huge stockpiles of minerals , Super and Titan hulls are now in stacks in our hangars. We have 1000's of faction battleship BPC's in stock.

Now for the majority of the rest of the player base HAHA!!! Good luck now trying to match or counter what the Imperium can field now!!

CCP has made it very easy for us now to do as we please , and very difficult for those that have not reached that level.

The "nerfs" of late have basically given us the "Green light" to roll over and destroy our targets , with absolutely no risk to us.

This is a classic case of "too little too late" Imperium economic reports prove this.

I say good luck to the rest of the player base countering our next "we are not out to ruin the game , just your game. " endeavors.

Keep up the good work CCP!

Just want to add to the furious numbers in distaste of the carrier changes, What about the pilots that don't sit there all day ratting, and have minimal time, time enough to not bother un-docking if isk vs time vs risk is against them.
it was good to know it wasn't going to take half a day to replace a mediocre ship loss, a few of ticks in my carrier could suffice without me having to sacrifice RL completely. Having big ship losses now will probably result in more demoralisation and bad feeling than it already did knowing that replacing said ship will be twice the work/ time invested it already was (unless u get your RL wallet out)....Rage quit and go play something that does not require 24:7 active attention with minimal reward I think ^^

CCP can you maybe not? Please?

Justy a note to all of you that are worried about the fighter nerf for carriers. If you have spent the last 3 months and/or skill injectors (which all translates into real world money) to train into a carrier only to have it undergo a major change that fundamentally alters gameplay, then you have the right to cancel your account and call your credit card company to have your subscription fees clawed back from them.

If they sold you a bill of goods, got you to pay for it, then changed it, you have the right to get your money back. Just remember, you have to cancel your account first.

I surely wish that pilots would realize that Eve, as is also true with most everything in Real Life, inevitably changes over time. Eve MUST change. If it didn't constantly change and evolve, our favorite fantasy universe would probably quickly get boring to many pilots and the universe would surely eventually die.

The big issue here seems to be that significant numbers of mostly very experienced and capable pilots found a way to project large amounts of power and generate large amounts of isk with a proportionally minimal effort and time actually having to spend playing the game. To be able to efficiently do this, pilots had to have certain lengthy skills trained and had to have certain significant amounts of extremely expensive ships and equipment ready and available. So, of course to be able to quickly cash in on the sovereignty and the isk making bonanzas as soon as possible, many pilots probably spent real life cash on skill injectors and also on plex to be able to accelerate their participation in all the wonderful feasting that was ready and available to be enjoyed. With larger and larger numbers of pilots beginning to take part in the feasting, it became only a matter of time before the gods of the universe, CCP, had to step in and nerf the whole situation. Too many pilots making too much isk too quickly and too easily is always too too bad for the game.

I suspect that there are plenty of undiscovered or little known opportunities to still be able to strike it fabulously rich in Eve Online. Perhaps it might be more beneficial to stop complaining about needed and necessary evolutionary changes that inevitably nerf a favorite activity and start focusing on using intelligence and dedication to discover the next Eve gold mine or the next diamond mine opportunity. And please, if anyone did spend lots of real life money on multiple omega accounts or skill injectors or plex in pursuit of quick and easy isk making (or power or glory or whatever) a good question to perhaps ask ourselves is: "Did I do this knowing full well the risk and rewards or was I somehow tricked into doing this by the all-powerful gods of the Eve universe?"

Well, here goes another time when people are unhappy and complain.

I think you are doing ok ccp, and I encourage you all to work your hardest on finding ways of building something that will motivate people to want to have good times and be happy. I think you get some of your ideas from religion, and that is ok with me. Maybe there could be an area of religious type parts to the game that have to do with each factions core theological ideas.

For those of you complaining, I get it. However, whining only comes back to you and slaps you right back in the face. That is unless you don't care, in which case even worse things happen. Look at the bright side, there are all kinds of opportunities in life, let alone this strategic, interactive game. Grow an imagination and figure out how to have a good time without carrier ratting all day is what I would do.

Maybe one day, all will be content. Until then, figure it out.

Given the bounty amounts from Delve and Deklein and the rise in bounty prizes. The fighter nerf is a good first step but personally I don't see it being enough.

Null sec is meant to be a place of greater risk and greater reward, not just a massive gravy train.

The biggest problem in the blue donut is that there is no reason to expand your borders. I mean why would you if you are already sitting on a gold mine.
