EVE General Discussion

It's what is written, at least the :froggie: I am reads it that way. Should no longuer be the loljoke killing your own pod to get the bounty. You are (supposedly) payed proportionally to dmg done to your bounty target witch means as higher the bounty is the bigger will be his losses and your reward at some point, and no one whould be able to avoid this unless dock forever.

Well at least is what we should understand at this point and "information", but it's not like if we were not used to mechanic unwanted effects (FW) or other easy-to-exploit&abuse stuff.

LOL. Its the make hisec safer expansion.

Yet I still see carebears crying and pretending like the 'bounties' are some kind of buff to 'killing people who don't want to be killed'. Its not.

Maybe I'm missing something, but the current bounty system is broken because anybody can just pod themselves in a naked clone and collect. The proposed system allows you to put a bounty on anybody instead of just neg sec-status players. How does this change anything?

It doesn't change the underlying problem one iota.

EDIT: So instead of an 'open ended' bounty, its simply a new type of contract?

May I refer you to examples in this very thread? They prove you wrong...

Where do i whine? I just responding to your whine Im perfectly fine with EVE and when changes come i usualy adapt.



I didnt wrote that there are no hisec whiners. Im just saying that majority of whine comes from nullsec (correction hisec) griefers.

it may even be a new game enhancement

The majority, eh?

By how much? 73:27? 56:44?

Oh my, another Star Wars NGE reference. There should be a name for this like Godwin's Law.

How about we wait and see what the details are before getting our knickers in a knot, yes?

All seems to be good but to be honest I'm not sure about the crimewatch system. Having a few agro icons on the top left seems to be a good idea but making this information public is surely not. The whole point of eve is to have a diverse universe where gameplay is open for limitless creativity. Gankers, pirates and all other crime related players (including me) like the fact that they use intel and deception efficiently to lure other players which mostly take the risk on their gounds anyway to have a bit of hot-gun action. If my previous actions will have too much consequences and prevent me from taking future actions ineficiently I'm basically out of eve along with my few alts and most probably a few friends too (which live in the same neighbourhood as I). The brutality of null and the hard efficiency of high-sec pvp will be hammered with crimewatch. After the patch is deployed the pvp average per day in high-sec will dramatically drop and the game will lean towards a carebear style gameplay... This in my opinion in completely unacceptable since I only play the game to pvp anyway... I urge CCP to make proper planning before deploying this patch and consider the real consequences crimewatch will bring... Most of the legend gameplayers are out of eve that used to roll in the carrier era and they aren't really coming back. You ask them and 80% will say the same thing which is "pvp became as hard as it could get!" Criwatch I think is the final official barrier that will hender this fact even further. The first few weeks I plan to make it test run... If my deception and piriting abilities are hindered in any way I'll have to say bye to eve and get back to WOW... I hope I don't have to...
