Player Features and Ideas Discussion

IF THIS IS THE DEV FEATURE SUGGESTION FORUM THEN YOU GOT TO IMPLEMENT THIS FEATURE:

its simple .... our accounts have 3 character slots ... and people make multiple accounts to have an advantage

i dont want to do that so...

SOLUTION: give us a feature where we could log in on all 3 characters at the same time and SWITCH BETWEEN THEM LIKE IN GTAV

It's almost like there's a huge difference between something you personally struggle with, and something that's actually broken from a game-wide perspective.

This thread isn't here to "fix" AFK cloaking - it's here to herd all the shiptoasters into one place so their whining won't bother everyone else.

Never seen anyone AFK do a cyno.

To Maekchu : did i say cause of you my post got locked ? No

To:Teckos Pech

to your first point - We are in fleet , we are on coms and we are taking measures to protect ourselfs .
Really how long takes to train frigate to lvl 5 , cov ops lets say at least lvl 3 , Cyno to lvl 5 and cloak lvl 5 . How much is that skills points 5 injectors is 2 mil SP . i think is more then enough . But i admit i can be wrong its long time since i was skilling those .

To the point of punishing exploration. I am doing explo. quite a bit with my alt and must say i never stay cloaked more than 10 minutes . { only thing that solutions takes from people be able to go afk and be cloaked in space for extend amount of time lets say for sake of the argumet over 30 minutes without doing anything .


yes but cloaked person in system is not doing nothing { i know you will try to play with my words in this case but you know what i mean } , he is there for a reason to disrupt Ratting/mining just by presence, logged in without any movement or effort to do it .

About AFK pressing D-scan i will not talk about it . You know what i mean so dont play stupid . Same with the cyno .


But on other note there was slight improvment in last few years to ban Command broadcast . I remember when living in Querios we have been camped i mean whole querios by One single person . Who was multiboxing 20 bombers at once . That was pretty awesome on his part but pretty bad from our point of view . So now at least there are active people on the end .

The arrays CCP talking about sounds great but i am little bit skeptic about them . Wonder why ?

i was looking trough forum but found only few closed topics . but could not find the active one . so i posted one . And i really dont think i am first or last that created same post as someone before me . Almost everything here has been posted over and over and over .

Probably poor choice of words on my side . Not degraded the post . But i would just prefer if someone from CCP would respond . I am pretty familiar with the standing of the community . There is two camps one who use it one who hates it . i Think my thread wasnt **** . It was just presenting my point of view on the problem . And provided some possible solutions .

Aight, I'll retract my statement that your thread was ****, since we are starting to be a bit more civilized. However, it was redundant as you can see by the 419 pages of this threadnaught.

Given that this topic has been discussed to death and no one really knows how to optimally solve this problem with the current mechanics, you shouldn't hope for a direct response from CCP. Their response is basically, the fact that they are working on some form of intel structure.

Like i said earlier . Did not find any open topic about this . When Mod closed my topic i asked him if he can link the "static one " he did and thats how i came here . And yes would be awesome if CCP finaly gave us some kind of response when solution is coming . And i can always hope :D

I am at work...so just going by number of injectors and going to say 4 months. To get to cloaking level 5 that is over 1.5 million SP I believe, that right there eats up most of your injectors. and 5 injectors is close to 3 months worth of PLEX.



Why should your exploration game be nerfed so that we can stop AFK cloaking? If the person does nothing for 30 minutes is that not 30 minutes you can do something? I know, I know, "They might come back at any moment!" Yes, I know...exciting isn't it?



If I am cloaked in system and AFK my character is doing literally nothing to gain any resources, ISK or anything else. If fact, there is a cost to doing this.



So you just want to nerf cloaks in general an not AFK cloaking? And it is not stupid to point out that AFK players do nothing in terms of d-scan, cynos, guns, tackle, etc. All they do is sit in local like a bogeyman and scare you....not unlike a scarecrow.

As for AFK cloaking threads there is the front page of this which has alot of closed threads, and a link to my old thread which has yet more horrible ideas to "counter cloaking".

BTW, we haven't even gotten to the point that AFK cloaking is the only counter to local as an intel tool.

That would be interesting . I am curious how many supers would die to this just in first week of this being implemented .

A)This would be a fine solution if local wasn't 100% instant, reliable intel, and equally if not more devoid of risk. If you had to risk something to get intel, then it would make sense that cloaking wasn't quite so 'free' either. Cloaking and Local are equally broken mechanics that combine to make a rather level playing field.

B)If they are camping one system, move to another.

C)Have you ever been counter-dropped? It's like this - in places like Providence, you never have to worry about a counter-drop, as the residents are seldom organized enough or have the sense of unity to actually defend their space. Camping one system is extremely effective, and can shut it down. If you do the same thing to an entity that is organized and committed to their space, you will find a preponderance of bait in your camped system. Actively hunting has a bit of a lower chance of finding deliberate bait.

D)Typically you should try the activity from both sides before decrying it as broken. Have you cloaky camped?
