Is this the Coalition Posting CTA? Lol

Anyways, it's justified. Fix the friggin' drone assist.


No we just tired to play in lags when N3 deploying sentry drones on field. Its started before goons deployed to south.
In GE-8 we fought in 2k local and played normaly.

I hope CCP fix it. Dont remove drones, just fix lags then we can deploy our supers and titans in grid.

Not sure were to begin here.

I am not so much against the mechanic of drone assist as I am against the issue of large space battles being unplayable. The lag, the node crashes, the tidi aren't fun to play in.

I understand that each side will field the type of doctrine that is needed in order to battle the enemy. While there are always those handful that would rather see the game crash and burn in a big fight, for the most part I am confident most of the pilots that ship up and show up are there for the big battle. And they want to see the fight to the end.

For me the big null space battles are the reason I play eve. They are the reason I have been flying with -A- for as long as I have. Many of the 'enemy' on the field are old friends and we enjoy a lil trash talk in skype and whatnot when we see each other on the battlefield. One thing is for certain, all of us want to have a good fight and we all want to win. Victory/Defeat needs to be something we can accept and not due to a server crash, a busted game mechanic or some other reason.

The Tidi in these battles makes the game nearly unplayable. People on both sides will commit hours of playtime in order to find some sense of purpose, often only to find all of that time and energy to be wasted due to the server not being able to handle the fight.

I don't know the answers. I don't know if nerfing the drones is going to fix things. I don't know what needs to happen. I suppose if it were so easy to solve an F1 Monkey such as myself could fix it, CCP would have sorted it by now. I just want to have fun in the big fights. Let the big complaints be about dumb mistakes, being outnumbered or an FC sucking and not be about some busted game that can't deliver the big space battles promised in a playable way.

I was there... Then I crashed... Then I couldn't log back in... Then I logged in but the grid wouldn't load... I was there.. Someone make a video of that..

Step #1: Fix drone assist (restrict it to 3 X max drones controlled by any one pilot, so 15 for a Domi pilot)
Step #2: Fix power projection (Cynos are unlimited, low risk instant transport)

Crime, it is not a "career", it is a lifestyle.

Well to all m8s in PL / N3 , we are not asking for Drone nerf.. Thats completely separate issue and we are playing the game together through win and lose. Just they need to do something about the tidi issue they cause; I dont care about their dps which is a game balance issue, there always is a counter.

I mean seriously, are u so happy with 10% Tidi fights taking 5hrs unnecessarily, having your so called Wreckball fleet bubbled mercilessly and getting strangled for hours as you cant simply "Ah **** I will log off anyway" while that is a Nyx you are in... I would expect you to ask for some solution anyway... Are you simply asking for broken mechanics ?

Cheers, Fly NOT safe :)

I think guys should prove that with making a record on youtube with carriers without sentries and when they are deployed to show us what tidi will be. And i think it's stupid for NC/PL guys to complain that lags shouldn't be nerfed it's insane don't you think?

^^ this is

they bloat locals up to 2000 dudes and then complain about lag lmao.


Don't pretend you wouldn't do the same and try to get as many of your own guys in system as well. That is what happens with 2 blocs of large size who can field those numbers. There is something to be said for numerical superiority.



Also... I don't think your little CTA Rus Bloc is doing you any favors.. it just makes you look like winey bitches.. worse.. it makes you look like your members have no mind of their own and are just drones. Then again I guess that is null for you.

Main request is fix lags, just take anywhere brain, which helps to understand this. And, please, don't cry, that rusrus came here, and began conversation about exploit, which N3/PL use for win in current war.

exploit? Which one? Drone assist is in game for years, carriers as well. N3 figured out a way to deal with rest of eve coalition in a proper manner and now rus rus are crying and begging to CCP for help.
