I'm sure everyone at CCP is quaking in their boots at the thought of literally TENS of pilots unsubscribing, the effect that making the game better for everyone else will have on their bottom line.


No you see each titan pilot has several hundred alt accounts and they will all unsub, CCP will go bankrupt and Reykjavik will slip into the sea.

Ohhhh, you little tease. You're getting me all worked up. Say that again in a cutesey voice.

Now pretend like I've been bad. Yeah. Go on. Tell me you'll leave the game again. Oh man this is so doing it for me. Come on.

OK I'm finished, now get out.

No, you can't have the taxi fare jesus christ

You sir am terrible at public relations.

Nerfing or changing titans is a major issue for the game, balance of power etc.

You do not drop a bomb like this! Make a real thread or a devblog if you are serious about it.

ok just googled it mat leave in iceland for men is 90 days... so three months... so umm when were the little ones born?


it's 9 months
3 for the mom
3 for the dad
3 months they can split however they like

but then you get more when you produce more than one baby at once, I don't know exactly how much more

now be nice and let Tallest enjoy the time with his super cute little dudesBig smile



This system seems exploitable. Make baby, have baby, get 9 months off, sell baby on black market, make new baby, have new baby, get 9 more months off, sell new baby on black market...

A clever Icelander would never have to work again and make a fortune selling babies.


this is pretty common, the black market for babies is pretty big in Iceland.

if you're coming for fanfest you better be sure what you're eating if you're not a person to eat babies (some people seem to have a problem with it)

I do hope, however, that one of the main things to come in this focus on war, is a much better sov system which allows for more small skirmishes instead of forcing every system to become a fuckoff huge fight with 1000+ on each side. I'd say that'd be a more effective fix than nerfing titan tracking, although it has to be said that the amount of tears that would generate would probably be delicious.

The problem is that some alliances (including my own) is based upon being supercap heavy and not numbers heavy. It has been a deliberate choice, and adding the titan nerf to the already existing supercarrier nerf (and we all know that supercarriers aren't really a danger to a subcap fleet apart from ECM Burst) would remove the foundation of these alliances. That is of course a choice we've made, and have been aware that it could lead to a nerf. However, we are also a central part in the 0.0 warfare that has been going on for years, and the general feeling is that if the titan nerf is similar to the supercarrier nerf, then why bother?

Looking at rebalancing titans is fair enough. However from our point of view, a nerf of the titan in similar fashion to supercarriers would simply mean that CCP's vision for future 0.0 warfare is numbers > anything else, be it fleet composition, ingame skillpoints and FC abilities. Yes, good pilots will sometimes beat bad pilots while outnumbered. Good pilots however won't win against 600 man maelstrom fleets (with welpcanes and drakes) that can instapop triage carriers and anything else short of a supercarrier.

My concern is that if the nerf of titans will be as heavy as the supercarrier nerf was towards fighting subcap fleets, you'll have some rather important alliances in the 0.0 warfare deciding they can't be bothered waiting for a "fix" on sov warfare that removes the numbers > everything focus that is currently taking place from CCP. No one can be interested in that happening, despite how much in-game fighting and "hate" there is between our respective blocs.

I anticipate many "Your tears are delicious" and similar mocking tones, but I am not really that angry about the nerf, I just fear with CCP's track record of fixing things, there will be a long time between a titan nerf, and a fix to the whole sov warfare/numbers game issue.

EDIT: Double post!

Also, this seems to be quite an odd place to "announce" the rebalancing of titans is currently in the workings at CCP. Perhaps some more official blog or similar from CCP would be good, including what their initial thoughts and ideas are regarding titans? As in, what role CCP feel they should have in the future?

CCP's goal is for a balanced well-fought fleet to beat a numerically superior fleet with inferior composition and/or tactics.

"all titans, all the time" requires neither balanced fleet composition nor tactical skill. It is, in essence, a pure numbers game: whoever has more titans wins. It's just all the chaff is irrelevant.

The problem is, that while you argue that there is currently no counter to "all titans, all the time" (which I am not in complete disagreement with you on), my argument is that there is currently no counter apart from "all titans, all the time" to the 600 man Maelstrom fleet. You can alpha any form of logistics we can place on field, bombers during TiDi is unrealiable at best, Abaddons and Tengus are tried and tested, but when you reach the number of Maelstroms where anything gets alphastriked, there is really very little you can do, other than do the odd warp-in and snipe a little.

Like supercapitals stack incredibly well, so does the alpha on Maels when you reach the numbers CFC has mustered when needed to. If the titan rebalancing isn't quickly followed by a sov. warfare revamp that removes the "one system" objective where piling numbers in is the key, I foresee that quite a few of the alliances you enjoy fighting and banter with will just leave 0.0 and do something else.
