EVE General Discussion

0.0 renter space is not null, it's a form of highsec somebody is dumb enough to pay somebody else for. Also can be a great place to get shiny kills, as nullbears often seem to be woefully unprepared for actual PVP.

If you live in null and see it as stagnant, you are doing it wrong.

Personally, I wonder sometimes if a lot of these posters are playing the same game I am...I get in fights pretty much every day, win some, lose some and I live in null. Maybe because I fly with folks who are there looking for fights and are willing to fly around and find them and don't mind losing. It's a game, see...and it's more fun if you are actually playing.

If you don't like lag...don't go plodding into big fleet fights with the rest of the F1 lemmings. If big fleet fights are your thing, learn to enjoy all the things that come with them...including TiDi/lag.

Find a niche where you can play the way you want to and hang out with people who want to do the same. Seek and ye shall find.

I prefer lowsec. And MJD-ing onto Ishtar gangs with a RR BS fleet.

It's been like that since I joined, people tell you different because as they are 0.0 pvp players and they got told years ago that was end content and they don't want to realise it's no different from being a high-sec miner. There are still vast swathes of 0.0 you can quite happily farm seeing no one for hours.

Time dilation is just a sticking plaster over a reoccurring wound.

Theres a game everyone is racing to play.

Turns out the biggest goon scam is SRP. We never die, and therefore never get to collect it.

I've been playing chess for like 30 years ... Elo c 2000.
Great game, I miss my Broadsword though. It would probably be very useful.

Does is soak up applied damage? May I suggest calling it the "Depends" module?

To the OP: Null sec is fine, the problem is people's perceptions and biases (a good half or more of the people replying to you haven't 'lived' in null for years, many might have dipped a toe in once sometime in 2008 and then formed an opinion about the Ocean from one dipped toe).

Null is what it's always been: lawless space dominated by organized group of players. Mafia land in space. There is plenty to do there, plenty to kill if that's your thing, plenty of stuff to make money off of (if you live there but it's also fun and profitable to 'ninja') and if you like big fights rather than 'just' roaming around that's available too. It really depends on your personality as a player, some people are better suited to wormholes ('aka' nullsec on hard mode), or lowsec (or FW) or high sec or npc null (aka 'null-lite').

Null doesn't (and never has) lived up to some people's unreasonable expectations, and for others it doesn't meet their specific personal gaming needs (you usually find these types in low sec conducting gate camp #419, 524,867 while proclaiming how 'stagnant' null sec is lol). But the truth is that if you're mentally cut out to be able to deal with the specific hassles, politics and profits of the place, null is a blast (in this way it's a microcosm of EVE itself, not for everyone, but kick ass if it's for you).. It remains my favorite part of EVE.

We shouldn't have to? I don't get paid by CCP last time I checked? Tidi should be seen as a temp fix not a permanent fix just because it's "not great but better than before"

Whilst people look back and say this then CCP will never feel to need to really delve into it. Personally it annoys the hell out of me as my system is in TIDI because someone who isn't a part of my corp or alliance in a system 15 jumps away has decided to fight with someone else I don't have anything to do with or care about.

Personally I'd rather just have my client crash than be forced to endure a 30 minute warp because at the end of it you still can't do sod all.

First titans no longer kill multiple ships with a doomsday. Just one.

The point i am trying to make here is this should be the priority fix for this game. Even though tidi offers a better experience it still does not perform the experience people wish to have in the first place. It is not acceptable to use something because its better than it could be, that is not "fixed". This should be on the plate to fix until its no longer needed, reduce lag, reduce tidi, stop making it so the whole universe can participate in any fight over 100 people.

For gods sake why would anyone want to go to null other than for the big fights? Almost all the content there is in wormhole space, so people come there for a reason. Only to find in the end its not enjoyable, it lacks substance, and its awful hard to make a mistake when you had 2 hours to discuss it.

This kind of "progress" just leads to zerg mentality as it will be the deciding factor when you have hours to get there.
