No.

Just tired of people who have to project a game into their pathetic lives as if the whole damned thing matters.

TL/DR: "I'm a mad carebear."

Try Otelen to Huola. Or Aurcel to Egghelende. There are never gate camps there, unless a freighter has been spotted.


Roger that, let's start hurling insults when we run out of clever things to say and make immediate and wrong assumptions on other people's gameplay, where they've been and how they play. If someone does not fit your picture of what you think should be the right way to do things, then the person is an idiot. Coming from someone like you who posts idiocy most of the time, it comes as no surprise to me that you call me an idiot and think that I have never been to lowsec.

So you found a handful of uncamped gates in lowsec, good for you. A rarity. I find Nullsec far more appealing than lulsec, but thank you for calling me an idiot. At least being an idiot gives me an excuse to call you out on your crapposting.

There's more than just "a handful" of uncamped gates in lowsec. I've got absolutely no issue whatsoever with getting from hisec, through lowsec, to deklein, whenever I want, I just don't pick the more common routes.

What's this talk about the "idiot switch"?

Can't find anything on the Dev blog.

You are an idiot.
Am I doing it right?

I find it amusing when the bears state that if the ganking and asshattery were to continue, subscriptions would be cancelled en masse.

Yet ... for the last 10 years the bears have had to put up with ganking and asshattery and they've continued to subscribe, and subscription numbers rose and rose and rose.



Therefore they are not bears.

It was mentioned at EVE Vegas. Sugar Kyle wrote about it:

Quote:
There will be a new warning box that can be turned off. There was a slide that showed three dots that are 'settings'. They will be displayed somewhere on the HUD I believe from the slide. But the slide was dark and the room bright. There are three settings.

---Green for Safe you can't activate things to hurt people and get yourself popped
---Yellow/Orange for illegal acts such as can flipping and wreck theft
---Red for shoot all the things and have no warnings

He said that petitions for 'accidentally clicked box was CONCORDED!' will be answered with, "You are probably dumb". If your safety is green you won't be able to shoot people in empire. If you set it to orange you can do mild things like can flipping. If you put your setting to red then you can do whatever whenever with no warning anymore. So if you set it to red, its your own fault.




This is supposed to break the game? Looks like a client side mechanic.


The rest of it looks pretty good. El Linko


But I see that the people who engaged in "dickery" and had little if any consequences are mad now.

They should HTFU and adapt.... or die. Remember, when they can flip, they should always stay aligned and watch local, and if they kill someone, afterwards while the kill rights are being rented out to real PVPers, they should never undock and go can-flipping/loot stealing in something they can't afford to lose.

I would call the winter expansion "Comeuppance".

Malarky most whines on EVENEWS24, THEMITTANI.COM, & EVE forum posts/blogs are NULL seccerz bleating about how to move HI SECerz into NULL so they have more EZ prey. Your post is yet another whine that everybody's sandbox shouldbe the way you want it.

It's not really a huge buff when it costs more to do due to the removal of insurance payouts when u get concorded.

All the freighter ganks in Niarja and Uedama are due to the pilot putting a bunch of expensive **** in his cargohold, thought everyone knew this.

T3 BC ganking costs more than tempests used to.

Yes but is that value adjusted for the price increase in everything else?
If everything has risen in proportion, then ganks are cheaper now.

CCP has been boiling the frog for a long time. Since the game's beginning even. In fact, you could argue that CCP has ALWAYS intended to make high sec space effectively safe space.

Making CONCORD untankable in response to M0o.'s high sec gate camps.
Doubling ship HP.
Lofty Trick nerf (can no longer shoot gang members, unless at war).
Making CONCORD untankable a second time, because of the proliferation of buffer tanked battleships in high sec.
The second Lofty Trick nerf (gang members don't get pulled into wars anymore).
Alliance P nerf (Privateer alliance can no longer war dec every null sec alliance in the game).
Making CONCORD insta neut/jam/scram your ship, in response to the massive swelling of freighter ganks after Outbreak.'s "Karma" video.
WTZ.
Making CONCORD deactivate your drones, because people started using Domis to gank freighters after the previous CONCORD nerf.

And this all happened ages ago.

The cost of ganking in a T3 was increased over ganking in a tempest the instant the insurance nerf went through, i.e. before the prices of minerals etc increased.

Try another strawman.
