Warfare & Tactics

I never claimed I received 100-150 solo kills every month from the first day I started eve. I was responding to crosi who claimed I am terrible at finding pvp. As in present tense, I am terrible.

I wasn't even subscribed the entire 4 years.

I am getting 100-150 solo kills now. Really even more since since it appears eve kill doesn't count a kill as a solo kill if a rat did zero damage on a ship. I was top damage on 173 kills in april and 148 kills in march. But I was playing quite a bit too much in april I admit. March was a more normal month.


Quitting faction war definitely increased my number of solo kills. After I quit faction war Cearaen went from about 15,000 bc rating to a bit over 4,000 in about 2 months.

Two things.

First, I like that CCP is focusing on exploration in this next expansion.

And the second thing I forgot, I'm having too much fun running around as a neutral in FW.

Thats just it. CCP has already said they would like to do notifications and timer rollbacks. They see the value of these proposals, even if a few vocal players who like having rabbit alts plex, don't.

It is just on a back burner. We just need to push them to get done what they already agree will be an improvement.

Wow you are really dense. Here was the exchange:



Notice Crosi used the present tense. As in now I am terrible at finding pvp. He did not say I used to be terrible at pvp when I started 4 years ago.

Notice I also answered in the present tense saying "I get about 100-150 solo pvp kills per month." I never said "I got 100-150 solo pvp kills every month since I started eve." My activity levels in eve varies.

Plus like I said ccp ending gcc and allowing me to quit faction war greatly increased the amount of pvp I got.

Xolve played the buffoon because he assumed this was the only character I pvped with. Thats why he didn't show cearaen's kills.

I wasn't aware of that.

Can you supply a link?

Here is a link where the devs are favorable to the idea of better intel tools. The devs gave a different explanation on these forums of why notifications were left out.


http://www.eve-search.com/thread/107405-1/page/6#178

"Q: LET'S GET BETTER NOTIFICATION/INTEL TOOLS WITH SYSTEM UPGRADES MR. HOLMES!
A: Interesting argument Dr. Watson. More water Sir? We definitely agree having better notification tools should be part of the whole package, but it should maybe be independent of Factional Warfare and something you need in all cases. After all, Starbase, corporation, war declaration notifications also need love too, let's not be selfish here. Such revamp is in the pipeline, even not for immediate release. Better intel tools for system upgrades however is definitely something we are thinking about." CCP Ytterbium



If what you say is accurate and came after this, then that is really too bad. It suggests they are fine with the current rabbit plexing mechanics. Perhaps that is why they left timer rollbacks out as well. Is the "essence of their sandbox" risk averse pve?

I guess we need to know if ccp devs think the current rabbit plexing system is working as intended or not. Should the top vp gainers for the day all have no kills for that day?

http://www.twitch.tv/ccp/c/2203972 here is the link its either in the bit that he shows a graph of what didnt get in or in the QA at the end

In the link you posted he doesnt speak specifically on fw notifications but all notifications saying they needed sprucing up he even gos as far as saying it runs independant of FW..

Also yes there proud of retribution esp 1.1 when they removed tier spikes and stuff its all over most of the dev vids from fanfest....


Now for my grasp of english after re reading what crosi says there is no tense at all hes stating an opinion that your bad at finding pvp full stop(meaning youve always been bad past or present) and never once does he say elatly of recently your bad at finding pvp.

After reading everything, im thinking - who cares at this point?

If FW stays exactly the way it is right now - who cares? Its a means to find PvP and have a constant enemy to war with.

Enaluri goes to Caldari, then gets taken back by Gallente. Immuri gets taken by Min then goes back to Amarr.

It truly doesnt matter if you step back and put FW in perspective.

Its a good place to find regular fights and have fun. Let the farmers farm. Someone warps out on you, go to the next plex or system and find someone else to engage. Trust me there are plenty of people to fight.

And if you really cant stomach how the FW game is, move on to something else.

What CCP worship? They are doing a good job of handling probably the most complex MMO out there to date.

1) Why? are FW's special in that they need more hand holding. HTFU.

2) Whats broken about beacon mechanics? They have been like this for a while and it's only really the FW'ers whining about them. The rest of eve just gets on with it as they work fine.

3) Man you just bloody lazy? Go find stuff for yourself and stop expecting everything on a plate!

Come back when you have actual constuctive ideas with well thought out arguements for the proposed ideas.

Thank you for reading this freindly service anouncement by the TaoBot 1337.

Trying this myself. Trying to keep the "fun" in perspective here when we have so many small groups spread out all over and it's difficult to get the big roaming fleets of yesterdecade out and about , and they don't wanna consolidate :(

Just popping in to say hi is keeping the stress out of it, but yeah trying hard to avoid the stressful organizational cat herding aspect of FW.

Hahaha you can click his name on this thread and hide posts think that wipes out them all ;)
