EVE General Discussion

Loot from a wreck and then die from overpowered gate guns. Welcome to New Eve. Any none fluffeh bunnies in space actions will not be tolerated.

Irony. When I wanted to increase my smallscale PvP activity, I went with an alt and popped as many cyno/pods as I could to drop to -10 ASAP. When I was low enough security, people would actually start engage me on the gates and I'd get great smallscale fights.

So with Greyscales changes, that door is completely closed. Now it's actually bad to be -10, and all those opportunity fights you'd get will be gone. In fact, you rather would not be -10 so you could travel under guns, while looking for.. well what? People that drop cans in belts? Travel to null? Join FW? Wardec people in low? The only summary I can come forward with when thinking about this, is that it's a major combat nerf, nothing else. It just makes it harder to fight.

Uh, now that's a shiny idea there... problem is, EVE is not that flexible.

SIGNED

I have been playing eve since 2003 with all its changes, some good - some bad ...
I also call Low-Sec my 'Home' - I am not interested in any High-Sec or Null-Sec activity.

So ...
If this modification to sentry-mechanics comes I will unsubscribe my 5 accounts and selfdestruct my titan, fraps it and put it to u-tube with the proper comment to this sentry-modification.

If CCP wants to modify Eve to get more like WOW - do it - but without me and without my money for it.

Start by bookmarking this thread, already some excellent feedback.

so will this remote repping suspect flagging happen in HS or does this only affect lowsec?
lets get rid of neut reps pls

Blob Online has always been around since the days of BoB and even before Capitals. The sad underlying fact is that there is hardly anything that drives players TO low sec. Unless you're a dirty, greedy old salt who desires the dangers of low sec it's pretty much moot.

Let me ask everyone here. IF these were to be implemented what then? There still would be little desire for players to head to low sec for any permanent basis besides maybe missions or sites. Yet even those are lack luster compared to the profits to be had in Null.

Yet we all know who's hands are always in the cookie jar when it comes to dominance over the resources that drive New Eden and why the market remains terribly inflated. 80 Million isk Drakes? Anyone remember when they were 30 by chance?

Low Sec NEEDS to bring something worth while to players. It needs to be appealing for either minerals, or sites. Something that Null sec doesn't have. This will inspire growth and interest. It will bring forth better combat as well!

Think about it. New corps or operations vying for control over new minerals or something of value all the while dealing with the risk of those willing to haunt said systems.

The problem simply is there IS no reward for the risk. CCP needs to change that. Not because we want juicer targets But because Low Sec now provides an opportunity to break the monopoly on the markets and give others a chance to stake their own claim without dealing with G00NS or Nulli Secunda or TEST etc.

And even then we take no sides with said people. We fight em all. Hell we even provide protection (for a price). Point being is Low Sec could be the breath of fresh air people have been waiting for....

Instead of tinkering with gates to keep people out of Low Sec we need to reinvigorate reasons to bring people in.

Uhhh so what you want is for us pirates to not only be shot in highsec by navy and other players but also by sentry guns in lowsec.. our NATURAL habitat?... Did you get ganked by pirates or something?

Seriously.. worst idea since WiS... wanna have riots on your hands again... do this...

Before finalizing anything (and I'm sure I speak for everyone here) we'd like more details on this "escalation" feature that's to replace the current system. Will this system penalize you for being a negative sec status without aggression? Will it time out once you warp away like GCC or remain there under certain conditions?

See there is just no details provided which creates confusion and sadly negativity off the bat even if the concept may in the end be good.

As far as this scaling damage up to 5 minutes it just won't work. You will end up killing off any sort of decent fights to be had in Low Sec if you do this. NO one ever puts a capital on a gate. And if they do it's because their stupid and will end up dying anyways.

Again if you want to invigorate and drive people into Low Sec make it unique. Give it something Null or High Sec doesn't have. Make the reward worth the risk. Give players opportunity. Shutting out the people that make it interesting will only escalate the problem instead of enhancing the experience.

In eve people need stations and gates and for a majority of time nothing else from a solar system and at the sametime people hate gatecamp and station games mechanics. Real fix isn't changing those mechanics but to introduce a reason for players to go anywhere else in a system and thus bringing the pvp out of gates and stations. If you wanna see other players you have maybe 10000 times better chance finding them at station/gate than at a belt for example. but thenagain we could rename eve online to gatecamp online... maybe it's such a key component in eve gameplay we really can't change it without too many tears.
