EVE General Discussion

Yeah, I love it when noobs try and wade in on a discussion to try and teach us all we are dumb. It is hilarious. :)

Calm down and perhaps you'd be able to understand. From your posting so far in this thread it seems like you are raging like mad at your keyboard.

I'm perfectly calm. I, in fact, am delighted with the changes being made so what, exactly, would I be "raging" about? I am having a jolly time watching the crybots snivelling (as I typically do).


With that said, what was quoted was completely ******* unintelligible in a, "How is babby formed?" sort of way.

To put it another way, that stinging sensation you feel is called the truth... yes, it hurts.

Sometimes it takes a bit of pain to get your attention, and nudge you into using your head for something other than a hat rack.

Hmm, cant say Ive ever had that experience with Malcanis posts as of yet. :) But he does occasionally come out with something of value. And I respect the fact that he makes the effort to post on the forums and contribute.

A "proper mining op" might work for higher-class WHs that have a full corp living in them, but lower-class WHs aren't suitable for occupation by more than a couple of people.

The reward might be going up by 25% or something, but the risk is going up a lot more. It's moving from "if I'm not on the ball, someone who comes into my system can kill me" to "anyone who comes into my system can kill me regardless of anything I do."

Just wanted to make sure you realized that I was adding to your point, not trying to argue with you.

This I have some issue with not taking the launcher cycle time per probe used.

Jump hole, break gate cloak, launch probes, cloak up. Denies an attentive DScanner the potential of seeing at least the ship and it's name during the process.

How does this read as anything but a declaration of war on solo players?

Besides, exploration is one of the more fun things to do when your corp mates aren't available.

And few other PvE activities involve multi-player mechanics. Hi-sec missions don't require multi-player skills and feature no competition what so ever. PI? Research? Manufacturing? None of these feature multi-player mechanics - are they going to be next?

I'm just hoping this isn't where CCP are actually going with the game. It needs a balance of solo and group mechanics.

I'm using multi-player in a very broad sense, that encompasses basically any feature where the right choice depends on actions made by other players. Playing the market, for example, and all activities relating to that (research, manufacturing, some aspects of PI) are almost completely multi-player activities (excepting only interactions with NPC orders).

For activities that decidedly aren't, such as missions, we would generally prefer to adjust those features to include more player inputs (and probably outputs, in order to close the circle). We don't want to remove the features, we're just usually generally inclined to look for ways to strip out purely single-player mechanics and fill the gaps with multi-player ones. Note that there is extensive use of "generally" and the like here; again, we're case-by-case here, and sometimes there is a necessity to be flexible. In a specific case mentioned above, for example, it's critical that people have things to do when nobody else is around in order to keep people online and build momentum, and if we can't find a way to do this without a pure single-player mechanic, we'll bite that bullet
