LOL - NCDot. member whining about OTEC. Hilarious!


more rabblerabble


You DO realize that your own alliance is part of OTEC? Roll
Why don't you leave it if you don't like it?


Hey Sherlock Holmes has returned!

Wait .. you're not that clever, you must be Dr Watson then.

Yes, sure I should drift around in space shooting NPCs solo in an MMO.

Why don't *you* do something about it and suggest a solution that doesn't involve people having to stop flying with their buddies?

Because, being a dolt on forums is about your level. Observation noted.

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

Yes because scanning every single moon in the game again sounds like good gameplay design.
Why not? If CCP can royally screw over one of the basic features of gameplay with the inventory UI re-do, then why not re-jigger moons? Then CCP can spend the six months following the change acting like heroes fixing what need not be broken in the first place.

QQing over something they've been advocating? That doesn't make much sense…

on a semi-related note, wouldn't it be spiffy if, in the real world, if we don't like OPEC having a monopoly on virtually all the oil on Earth, we could just "tweak" the laws of chemistry and physics so anyone can make a replacement for oil in their basement?
We kind of can. It's just not worth the effort, though.

What would be the alchemy reaction for TINFOIL?

Reading the last few pages I could make a fortune in EVE by selling it Lol

edit: typo


100 Popcorn and 100 Player Tears reacts into 1 Unrefined Tinfoil refines into 10 Tinfoil and 95 Popcorn.

A fantastically written devblog. The dream is to temper the Tech prices and spawn conflict in lowsec like Alchemy 1.0. Here's hoping~

Hmm… was that before or after he said it to everyone present (and watching the stream) at fanfest?

before

given his post it was really obvious what was going to happen so we threw preparations for the nerf into high gear (as long as the nerf was ringmining it was a winter-at-the-earliest thing but once they said alchemize everything, well you can do that in an afternoon)

Yes, because a system where 90% of the population get shat on to finance the fun of the other 10% sounds like a great way to keep people playing. Theres a reason the feudal system almost died out and it has very little to do with Tech.

Actually it's entirely to do with tech. The "traditional system" advocated by the FCON guy that he insists CCP must preserve, minus tech and plus NRDS, would be indistinguishable from the CVA style of coalition management both in appearance and levels of success.

there's too much cobalt in the game to spawn conflict over it

in two months you will have no trouble finding a free cobalt moon

what fights will be over is systems with a station and a high amount of cobalt moons, since you can then do alchemy en masse and get economics of scale to make it worth doing

Hell, it's about time.

Whether or not you win the game matters not.  It's if you bought it.

Three years too late if you ask me. Should have been explored in earnest the second PI was released .. speaking of which .. why not add some of the intermediate reaction products to specific planets to buffer supply even further?

It would fit in ever so nicely with player owned POCO's and could be used as very effective way to boost the elephant in the room (ie. Low-sec) with the said specific planets mainly existing in that most wanting yet perpetually ignored area of Eve.
Combine that with a nerf to supers when operating in Empire and you have the makings of epic sub-capital brawls over resources in low as well as null and give fledgling alliances/corps, who are unwilling to accept the ball'n'chain of null slavery, the chance to make their mark (read: low-sec Empires).

Looking forward to steps 2-10 in the war against the great ISK printing machine known as moon-goo (you get extra points for making grown men cry in public!).

This will help a little but does nothing about the remaining static source of isk from Tech that is totaly located in the north. The price of tech will be capped as With Prom and Dysp from the first batch of Alchemy but the prices will remain high.

Out of interest, as you said you have been playing EVE you several years you wouldn't happen to be in the coalition that just concered some of the regions with most of the Cobalt in game would you.

Nothing personal but we're all human and in general humans are the least honest species on the plannet. In the past the big alliances that are friendly with devs, or have devs in them seem to have had crystal balls and been able to gain from updates that the masses (who by the way pay for the game) are not privy to.

In reality there is nothing that you can do to fix the game, this change has come about fat too late, no matter what is done if a new region of space is made very profitable the CFC with thei stupid amounts of isk they have amassed in the Tech "oversight" will just go and take that space,

ALL point sources of isk need to be removed to fix this BUT CCP have already stated they want there to be things for people to fight over so this will never happen.

In T1 terms, it would be like if you could create Isogen by banging Veldspar and Scordite together really hard, rather than go out and mine Omber. In the end, you just end up with Isogen, and it makes no difference when you build ships from it.


Fozz, can we noobs in highsec PLEASE have alchemy like this! ... Cause right now Caldari space doesn't have access to isogen and zydrine minerals and I am tired of being a low-sec chew-toy to just make T1 frigs.
