Lowsec gained the most from this, and as a low-life scumbag I heartily endorse the removal of GCC from eve. Finally, we're free to fight without having to contend with gate guns (for the most part) and with the bounty system, lowsec is now a target-rich environment. Thank you, CCP Pirate

Yeah, have to agree. I went out on my first roam since the patch and I have to say it's awesome. New target graphics are pretty cool (if a bit tall), flags are pretty easy to figure out (although that PvP one got me when I went to repair at a station), warping out and back in to the gate after popping a frigate is ******* sweet, and I got my bounty cleared and helped clear some off another dude (and paid for my repair fees to boot!).

CCP has no sense of humour.

What about these new destroyers? And did the rupture turn out to be a miniture cane?

Rupture got nerfed a little, they're not the powerhouse they used to be. Mallers and Vexors and the new kings.
The new destroyers are a mixed bag -the gallente one is total winsauce, the minmatar one doesn't suck completely. The other two are kinda pathetic. I can't get a decent fit happening on a dragoon, and the corax is hard to tank in general. Still does good damage though, but algos ftw!

Retri is just ok expansion, not too good (to many bugs and fail features) not bad either. Don't get excited like kid just because 1 good feature, expansions are more than that

Agreed. Apocrypha got me interested in Eve again, and Retribution will get me playing regularly again Twisted

I like to lick things.

If your fitting it the way I am, it didn't get nerfed.

Caliph Muhammed has added you as contact with Terrible Standing

I see my 100,000 ISK bounty I added has made you upset.



O indeed it did. You'll experience just how butthurt I am when I catch ya slippin'. You will rue the day you put that bounty on me.


So angry. You should see my bounty. The person that put it on me got so mad, they decided to wardec my whole corp, and our wormhole division, with a three-person corp. They haven't even come to fight us. They were in our system, but then they fled before we even got to fire a shot.

Why should he spend more when 100k gets so much hurtebutte for so little?

By the way, did you ever post that killmail that proved you claimed the bounty on yourself at a profit, or are you pretending that was a troll now or something?

Nope, it sucks. Its definitely better than Incarna, marginally better than Inferno but most of its features are useless.



Caliph Muhammed placed 10.000.000 ISK in bounty on your head. poor man... Can not handle the truth.

Its not a fantastic expansion, but I still think its good, and am enjoying it

Of course, once the rush of bounties and accidental suspect triggering dies down... maybe won't enjoy it as much

The fun thing is, CCP commented something on the lines: "Apochrypha was the prototype of the bad expansion they should not have done it nor will do it again." Cry

This is by far one of the greatest patchs to eve in a LONG time. It's got me back into playing EVE again. It's even made empire pvp fun, I didnt think that was possible...

The way I see it, this Expansion hasn't been ground breaking, there's no THIS WILL CHANGE EVE FOREVER **** in there.
That said, it's definitely one of best thought out patches for a while. Everything that has gone in has been planned really really well, has a lot of polish and just generally improves the game across the board.

Yay CCP.

Best expansion? No

But it has been very well put together with some very nice changes to lowsec and bounties.
