EVE General Discussion

^^ didn't read the original post.

Actually no. TQ was being moved to a new server cluster and after they copied the databases they set the sec level on all systems on the old cluster to null sec. Maybe they disallowed bombs (if they even existed back then) and bubbles, not sure - I don't remember seeing any. The server was left in this state for a day I think, after that the new cluster took over on the old databases.
So there was this day, and it had been dubbed Armageddon Day by the devs, but it played no importance since it was acting with stale data anyway.

I was hoping it would bring some fun fights, but basically people were just camping station undocks and gates full time. Bring out anything bigger than a frigate and it got blown up in a jiffy.

Overall I found it excessively boring and changed to another game after escaping the x-th gate camp.

IIRC the devs afterwards stated a similar sentiment (although I am not sure why they came to that conclusion) and said it would never happen again.

Nowadays it only exists in threads of people who want to feel like l33t PvPers when they blow up highly dangerous mining barges.

This is easily one of the dumber responses I have seen in a while. I call complete BS that you were 'PvPing since Day 1'. Unless your day 1 was eight years ago when you didn't have such huge gaps in skillpoints. You also do realize that ganking someone as a newbie is completely different than going into an all out warzone like this would be, don't you? We are talking about turning high sec into null sec hundred to thousand person battles, not ganking someone afk mining in a backwater system (like I imagine your 'day one PvP' was)

And it is pretty ridiculous to talk about someone having balls in a video game. It is just a game. It takes balls to do something in the real world. It is slightly sad to think it takes balls or attitude to do anything in a video game. You want to show you have balls? Do something in the real world and tell us about it.

The idea of 'carebears' is pretty dumb. I do PvP, and love it. I have never played a single MMO without being on a PvP server. That doesn't mean I want to do it 24/7. You start paying my sub fee for me and you are more than welcome to tell me how to play, mmkay tiger?

edit: reading how it happened before (on a test server with everyone given SPs, etc) I would be 100% for it and it would be a blast. Doing it with characters in production is the bad part of the idea.

Please don't dash our hopes like this. I love the screeching of PVEers.
I have to say it's disgusting when Goons post sensible remarks. It's not right!

+1

Sounds like fun, Anarchy for a day

Are both parties still in compliance with the contract? If not, call Customer Service and get out of it free.

Why is it stupid, hm? Let me explain to you why you and your ilk think my claim is stupid.

You think it's stupid because, if evidence was presented, it would mean that your claims of being at a natural disadvantage concerning skillpoints are false, and they the only thing holding you back is yourself. You justify your claims with excuses that have habitually been proven to be false on numerous occasions, but you hold to it anyways because you can't fathom the concept that smart PvP is a far better way to obtain kills rather than relying on Caldari Cruiser V and Recon V for your Falcon alt.

Day 1, I joined Caldari militia on my first character. Flying a T1-fit Kestral, I acted as fast-tackle for my fleet, who then proceeded to demolish a Rattlesnake. Five people against a single Rattlesnake, all of us in T1 cruisers or below. We did this in low sec, in faction warfare no less. We then went on and killed two more before calling the fleet.

This wasn't in high sec where it's a gankers dream and high sec wardecs, or null-sec where you cyno in something. IT was low-sec, where at the time PvP was pretty decent, and the players were equally as good.

Since then, I have trained my second character and bought two others. The one posting this is one of the bought characters. But that hasn't changed anything in terms of how I view PvP in this game. If you want to see some of the kills I made on one of the characters I have had since I started playing, feel free to look up Quendishir on the killboards.

I have been instrumental in training rookie and new pilots in the form of intelligent PvP tactics. I don't teach them to blob, or to engage willy-nilly. I taught them how to pick their targets properly, to stalk them, and then when everything is set, to pounce and get the kill. Some of those pilots have gone off to be great PvPers, even when they couldn't fly better than Interceptors before the nerf. What matters is that people learn and not make excuses like you are.

You and your carebear ilk are a cancer, simple as that. Once again, you should be excised and discarded.

Making an entire group of people, people who are responsible for keeping the economy of this game afloat no less, out for a deadly disease is hardly chivalrous, is it.

Unless you somehow expect this game's economy to survive with no carebearing whatsoever.
