Here's hoping this doesn't "fix" FW and wardecs the same way Dominion "fixed" sov warfare. Looking forward to it!

Wait, what??!

[facepalm]

Not sure if troll? Have you ever actually been in a wormhole? Get your big ole' Hulk into one (Class 2+ only, c1s' mass-limits prevent a Hulk going through, IIRC), start mining out those constantly re-spawning (NOT!!) huge (ditto) A/B/C/O belts, and tell me how long you go before you get it urp-sploded--no, it won't tank Sleepers, and those aren't even the primary danger in worm-space--then tell me how "safe" it is.

[/facepalm]

E: Oh, and the Echelon is a novelty-ship, not an exploration-ship. We still don't have one of the latter, although it's arguably needed.


I lived in a wormhole. You EVE new players need to stop thinking EVE is a solo game. I gas mined and ABC mined in wormholes and its a team effort. Someone to kill the first and second set of sleepers in a grav site (afterwards they dont respawn). In a C2 WH you can kill them in an AF.

Risk comes reward. All you Indy players who want to sit in hi-sec cant complain about mining 'sucking'. Enjoy your veldspar.

Quick question - what is "YourEVE" ?

Did I miss a feature somewhere, or is this another buzzword along the lines of "EvE is Real"....


maybe he meant you're eve as in you are eve... so in a way he was being funny...

Is Inferno the best name for the expansion? It doesn't fit the "war" theme all that well.

Maybe it fits the theme of the forum being set ablaze by whiny complainy people who were mad over a insider newsletter that displayed two sides of an argument - people who swore that one side was how it was going to be and the other side ceased to exist after reading the one they did not like.

After that event the focus on just FiS is full sail ahead under the tagline Inferno.

Do you know if the sensor dampener finally get a much-needed boost in this upcoming expansion? As it stands, the dampeners, even on specialized ships are somewhat limited and some ships have such far-out sensor ranges like the T3s fit with the probe boost sub for example (without sensor boosters) that damps are practically useless against them for any sort of medium range combat.

Hopefully it contains specific information. Rather than the usual 'we will deliver something at sometime and it will be amazing but we aren't going to give you specific details' rhetoric.

I like the name.

I would like to make a few comments tho. Of course in anticipation of much more info going into March.

Quote:
The next few months will be spent reinvigorating Concord-sanctioned warfare, giving tools and a framework to groups who wish to take advantage of these conflicts both directly and indirectly.


PLEASE give this one A GREAT deal of time for discussion, testing, and implementation. The last thing we need is a return to the bad old days of decing every 5 man corp out there because said PvPers cant hack it in nullsec. Invulnerable POS is an issue but so say one very large alliance wanting to cause chaos by bringing its members into hisec jump clones for a few days of total POS destruction and Jita camping. Nobody is going to come to the aid of a 15 character POS against a blob.


Quote:
Factional Warfare will also be seeing changes to make it much more relevant and fun by giving real reasons to fight for your faction.


I am very happy to hear of this. The potential for FW to be a true alternative to nullsec sov warfare is there just needs the proper attention in my opinion.


Obviously the blog is a tease. But I hope there will be other badly needed changes as well. If a full modular POS and Corp revamp is not in the cards http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Possibly_Practical_POS_Performance_Proposal_%28CSM%29 (For reference) PLEASE atleast try to implement personal divisions on POS hangars and arrays so that smaller corps can isolate potential spies without removing valuable members or potential for newer players to experience group play.

So what are u going to do about the WiS?

I have to say i was quite exited about walking in stations, and its shame to see u have completely abandoned it.

Changes into avatar system were realy nice, but i kinda expected alot more from WiS than what it currently is. Have courage to finish what u started ! Pretty please. Smile

There was nothing wrong in Incarna as it was demoed in playable form back in year one and two. Problems started when the entire project got binned and started from scratch again. The junk what we have now is end product of this brilliant decision.

Any change to intel gathering tools (especially for highsec wars) slated for Inferno?
Locator agents very crude. At the moment, locating assets and and areas of operation usually entails hours if not weeks of work to unravel the complete webwork . Massively time consuming.

I wouldn't mind a sort of an NPC FBI/CIA org (just like Concord) that caters for these things.
It has the potential to be a good isk sink.
