It is probably a good thing to screw PvP'ers who don't want to go perma-blinky, or who don't want to be slaves to zerosec RMT/bot-plantation barons anyway. Incursions [are] by far the largest faucet in EvE and [they] won't be toned down a bit, as CCP keeps whoring for carebear subs. This would be a good way of dumbing down EVE even further, faster.


There: All fixed up for you--that's what you meant to say, after all, innit?

No it's not. I meant exactly what I said. CCP has already stated that Incursions are NOT the biggest faucet in EvE. Now quit editing my posts with your nonsense crap. Not everybody who has a different opinion than you is a bot.

Yes I can confirm this has changed. It totally got missed in the patch notes and I will try to remedy that now.

We were refactoring how npc‘s through groups spawned and this was one small fix on that. So now you are not guaranteed to get always the same type of npc of the same size in the group. This applies to missions and belt rats.




Can you please tell TomB and Zulu that neither know how this game works then?

Quite disturing to see two guys who been with EVE for so long, posting crap on forums that nearly every EVE player can tell them is false.

Thanks Bettik for the info tho, and nice to see some staff do know the game. P

A) "working as intended"
B) "The logs show nothing"
C) "It's a feature, not a bug"
D) "We heard Incursions were where the isk is, so lets make the missioners do them too"
E) "All of the above"

Perhaps they simply want to push everyone into Incursions, then they will "Rebalance that" Cool

Correction.

They're breaking the botters routines.

Hence the flailing.

I quite partial to a bit more dynamism in my games, keeps things interesting.

This is good. I never understood why chaining belts was possible. Also, who can stand belt ratting for isk? Bots could stand it I guess, it would take a very deternubed person to be able to rat belts for isk, or missions, or any other form of PVE in this game.

whatever

I plan on living forever.......so far, so good.

Now battleships in the belts are no longer of a single rat type and are instead mixed. Effectivly nerfing belt ratting because chaining is affected.


What's the problem with mixed battleship spawns? They're still worth far more than a cruiser or battlecruiser spawn.

did you really type that?
belt ratting is the worst way to make isk
other forms are just as unproductive except for high end ded complexes

wtf are you smoking?

Why is belt ratting dead? Just kill all the spawns now and hope for a faction spawn, AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED. Jesus, damn nullbears.


I could never understand the foaming-at-the-mouth craziness that erupted if I dared disrupt people's chains. This one time, at band camp, I blew up two destroyers and was awarded with an officer spawn. That officer dropped a couple of Dread Guristas items which handily padded my pocket.

There are a lot of people who still belt rat, namely newbees. Our newbees start by salvaging hubs and sanctum clears. Our older players will drop bookmarks outside of the station, summon newbees via jabber, or they will use ingame channels to get newbees to the isk. Once newbees have trained about 30-40 days on our newbee skill plan, they have the necessary skills to start belt ratting or running L2 missions. Since we as an alliance despise mission running, they usually end up in the belts.

On the other side, botters use the simplicity of belts to afk rat/farm isk.

New players are what help Eve grow, and in turn goonswarm/test/eve uni. Its hard to find a balance between helping newbees and screwing bots.

Isk/h ??

Do you guys play a game or doing a job of it? -do you use the same ideal in real life, like ask yourself how much $/€ is your productivity when you're at the coffee machine or blahblahing at the phone with your girlfriend/boyfriend while at work ??

Lol I'd kick arses...

If you kill those rats, salvage, loot then reprocess and sell everything I'm quite sure you get a very decent isk from it to buy new ships and go kill stuff.
