Warfare & Tactics

No you are everything wrong in this world. You're even worse than those AFK cloakers in Jita. How can I 0.01 isk in peace if I know there is someone out there afk cloaking!

Ack... my Serendipity is lost

Posts like these are missing the point of why OGBs are so terrible.

The stats you gain from an AFK T3 alt are insanely over powered for their price, this is well documented. You get advantages you can't get anywhere else in the game for such a cheap price.

On top of those epic bonuses, the AFK T3 alt can also Cov Ops cloak, is very difficult to probe down, is interdiction nullified, and so is at very little risk itself.

Plus, the idea of creating a second account, training it for six months (just a vague estimation, I don't care if I'm technically wrong; I think you can get the point), and then dragging this secret alt around with you everywhere you go for PvP, is just really lame gameplay, I mean come on, that is such garbage. Does anyone really feel good or have fun dragging a Loki around with their main everywhere they go so that they can be risk averse with a cloaky nullified scout that boosts them from a safe spot every time they decide they want to fight? Sorry but that is just plain stupid.

I have an alt that just finished training for Loki, I used it a few times last month (I admit the actual PvP I did was pretty fun), but I've put it away and I'm going to sell the account (or the character, I'm not exactly sure how that works) based on principle. This type of gameplay is just too boring. It's boring, it's lame, it's any bad word you want to call it, but it's anything but interesting.

Of course links are not the only thing that matters, or they won't win you every fight, and it's not impossible to beat someone who used links, but that's all beside the point; links are insanely OP, they're relatively inexpensive, there's almost no risk involved in using them, and the gameplay itself that they provide is just garbage. It's an AFK second account that sits in space and gives your ship steroids. Wow, so awesome. /s

Links are cancer. They're the opposite of fun or interesting gameplay and they're completely imbalanced.

That's all I have to say about that. It's the last post I'll make in this thread, I didn't want to post in here again because it's redundant but I couldn't sleep thinking about it :D

Links are going to get fixed, you can be sure of that. There's no way around it, it's obvious how bad they are and a change is inevitable.

Prepare for Incursion runner outrage in fall of 2016.

And grids are expanding to be several hundreds of kilometres wider than they currently are (maybe even a few thousand kilometres).

On grid won't really change much for many people and the whinging will continue.

Some of us would relish the opportunity to find out. And some of us seem to be afraid to do so. I'd rather face off against a player's skill than their willingness to spend more dollars on the game.


In other news, my corpmates are presently flying a Svipul that, with links has 40k EHP, two neuts, a 45m sig radius, does 4k cold in prop mode and over 400 DPS cold. CCP can't release decent ships because links make them batshit insane.

still whining over an extra 15 dollars? lol

Or find someone who is willing to follow you around in a OGB. It is an MMO after all.

Come on you're smarter than that. People use alts for these roles because they are tasks no human player would be willing to perform consistently, + the alt is at your command 24/7.
