Player Features and Ideas Discussion

To the OP:

No. Your own personal inability to rise to the challenge is not proof of anything, nor will they dumb down some of the few actual challenges in the game for your sake.

And seeing as they can be refused without penalty, you don't have a leg to stand on.

They are not to difficult , just not provide enough reward for the risk , or players do not accept current reward vs risk ratio.

If you fly proper ship ( good fit included) on a mission you will do this mission easily without any real danger. (higsec missions )
In burner missions , even when you bring proper ship ( good fit included ) and even support ship - something might go wrong, and you loose both ships.

I had this issue.
T1 overtanked frigate was providing additional ewar for main ship.
Extra webs minor dps, warping first to get most of the initial dps etc.
I could easily blitz those missions - until small lag caused burner to leave web overheated range
4 minutes later both ships where dead , and the burner was able to fix itself from the half of the structure.

This is something that most of higsec runners do not accept - that something will go wrong , and they will be scrambled on their faction fitted ships.

You loose often ships in nullsec because of some glitch - so nullsec people threat this as something normal.

Stil i only once got faction drop from a burner - ammo , so after this lag i also decided that risk vs reward on nullsec burners is not worth the time.
Income source is a bit different in nullsec , especially that pvp you can find 2-3 jumps away if you are not in CFC or NCPL & renters.

And?

L4s are restrictive, you can't do them in the majority of ships that exist out there.

This is no different.

They are nowhere near as restrictive though. Nor is death as assured if you don't take win fit #21312 or #21313.

It's rock, paper, scissors punctuated by sudden death. This is, however, what they were aiming for sooooo basically that's that. The fights are decided the minute you undock.

It is what it is and the designers mentioned in the AT streams they're extremely happy with them.

It doesn't mean anything practically, it's just an indicator of how long a mission might challange someone in general and if applied here too as the same intel, you can draw your conclusions about the difficulty, if not complexity.

And the time settings are in sync with our personal observations, which of course you can argue is subjective, but in all cases so far have confirmed the hypothesis for us. But that on the side, personal experience and such ,)

Buhuhu!

Move along - still waiting for my trial Titan.

Or you can overheat a meta4 MWD on a Daredevil and laugh as his measly 3600m/s speed until you throw a 90% web on him. From there its just a DPS/tank race at point blank with zero transversal, which is something a void Daredevil is quite good at.
