Poasting in a stealth low-sec-gate-camp-changes whine thread.

However I do agree that they should put them back in high-sec systems. When first heard that Incursion rats were going to gate camp, I was excited about it as it would bring meaningful dynamic pve content. Want to get to the Amarr trade hub? Going to have to patrol the path with people so you can get your freighters through!

I thought the video showing some freighters and orcas getting blasted on the gate was awesome.

Then probably some idiot on autopilot got blown up, lost a few bil and whined enough that CCP dumbed it down for high sec.

Meh.


Lol...that would be too great.

Do major trade hubs ever get incursions?

I'm pretty new, so not 100% on incursion mechanics...but I know to avoid those systems when possible...

Haha, this thread gave me a good chuckle over my morning cup of tea.

Thank you, OP. And thanks to some of the other whiners in the thread too - you've made my morning!

Frankly, it's impossible for a frigate to get popped in a Sansha gatecamp .... unless the pilot for some reason, hung around lighting cigarettes in the middle of an NPC fleet.
I guess they've never met these Sanshas before :D

Pilot : Coast clear. Just a few NPCs.
NPC Sansha : bzzt ztt bbzzztt ...
Pilot : Decloaking ....
NPC Sansha : Well lookee here .... get em boys!
Pilot : Brb .. smoke break
*POOF*
Pilot : Wtf happened!

I've previously lost a Viator to lowsec Incursion gate rats. You could say I was surprised to be instalocked by a rat like it was a sebo'd interceptor Lol

In other words, unlucky.

That's weird i passed through a sansha gatecamp in hookbill unharmed.

Anyway, i don't see the problem with the mechanics except maybe the gatecamps should also be there in high sec.

This has to be the lamest excuse for changing game mechanics that I have seen in the forums.

As for introducing this to hi-sec, oh yes please, firstly it would make life interesting again in Hi-sec, and can you imagine the tears.

What is the point of gate camps made of sansha npcs????



The purpose is to make you cry the tears you just did. I'm sure your post has made more than one dev lol. Yeah getting instapopped by a sansha npc before you can even align out with your frig is a pain. Welcome to EVE.

Oh my, non-consensual pve'd by rats! This is unacceptable! Alternatively, you could stop being terrible?

Your corp name, "LEVEL UP", is appropriate. Perhaps you should consider doing so? Only, we don't have levels in EVE so instead, the suitable EVE phrase would probably be "skill yourself"? You were perhaps thinking of WOW, a game better known for requiring player consent for everything. Then again, maybe you would prefer a pvp game seeing as you are obviously horrific at PVE.

so is player camps ... yet when someone posts about that you get the HTFU comments from guys like you.

Yeah, I think the incursion gatecamps are detrimental to gameplay. As I've stated in other threads, I don't think PVE elements should interfere with my ability to travel and do PVP.

Nonconsensual PVP is necessary of course for this game, but nonconsensual PVE, at least on the level of intensity that the incursion rats have, is ridiculous.



That is my point.Low sec is all ready gate camp intensive,but at least one can fight vs other players,but True power gate camp is insane,just got vaporized.

I dont see any real sense to this gate camps.

CCp should remove them from gates,and keep them in combat sites


so with this argument you are saying that pvp arena's is the next step.

+1 it would add a dimension to high sec that would be epic.

It would be an isk sink not to mention a tear faucet(hydrant) for those that enjoy tears.
