Missions & Complexes

Hello, we noticed some different behaviour in a couple of missions after the update .
Would like to know if those are bugs or "working as intended" as in patch there is nothing about it .

Gone berserk , 3 groups with their own waves , "blitz" one group with its respective waves must be killed : now you must kill ALL .
The assault , before you just needed to kill 4 frigs or so , now "everything"
Attack of the drones or something like that , same as above , entire pocket must be cleared .

So were those hidden fix , or just colateral damage ?

CCP's prolly a bit sore about the Blitzing guide. Though I think making changes to the game, especially content that hasn't changed in many, many years without putting anything in the patch notes is one hell of a scummy way to do it and sets a terrible precident. From now on if anything changes we won't know if it's a stealth nerf, a bug, or just CCP giving us the finger. Kinda remember now why I quit the first time. Don't care about the changes but this sure is a ****** way to implement them.

Put in Bug reports for each one and see what replies you get, only way to be sure.

i like gatecamping and thats just been buffed

You complain about plex prices being too high yet making 200mil/hr, they start nerfing incomes then the demand for plex will go down, in turn the sellers will be forced to lower prices to sell plex. by the looks of it my plex selling gameplay is receiving a stealth nerf, you just dont know it yet

Doesn't matter at the end of the day, Eve is all about adapting. Unless they make Burners completely unplayable (I'd love to see them reduce their pride and joy new PvE content to a joke) it won't have a huge impact. Maybe slight reduction in isk income but there's ways around it.

TO be clear, my issue is with how they are implementing these changes, under the table, no patch notes. It's the worst way a company can make any changes, especially nerfs. Unless of course you think that it's ok? I doubt I'll get a straight answer on this.

but they aint making 200mil/hr with concord protection and solo are they? just remember the stealth nerf to the lvl 4's, while you boast about 200mil/hr in highsec blitzing, i can no longer blitz in nullsec either so my chances to be hotdropped are increased yet you have no risk increased

i really dont spend my time looking at patch notes so really stealth nerfs dont bother me in the slightest, ill adapt, and lol to your comment about safety, on one hand you say null is safer, have you lived in npc nullsec? its far from safe to run missions, if null is so safe why arent you living there and blitzing pirate lvl 4's?

"This can be done on a single, well trained character in the relative safety of Hi-Sec, indefinitely." - Copy and pasted from your blog post

Calm your **** ladies .
First : Lan Wang dont be stupid , if you dont read patch notes , and "bla bla adapt bla bla" it's your choice . The patch notes are there for a reason , imagine loging in your titan and there is no POS around it due to mechanics change ? Capish ? Patch notes are important . You ignore them at your own risk .

second : NPC nullsec may not be as safe as HS but its far from "deadly" , no suicide people , no wars , no random neutrals .
If you control the pocket you live in , and you know what the hell you are doing it can be pretty damn safe . I wont post all the "theory" but trust me , want to prove me wrong ? Find me a "pve" lose , there are some but they are little , and 99% its pilot fault .

And WHO cares about Anize getting with 7kkk <-> 10kkk investment 200kk per hour ! If someone does you must change your priorities , with that kind of investment there are countless options to make good money .

Now focus on the problem : WHAT is going on with the missions , is that a NERF , or a BUG , do you encountered more of such ? Anyone opened a ticket ?

no wonder ccp offers more support on reddit :\

You are shifting the goalposts, you dont get lvl 4 missions in sov space so what does that have to do with anything?

"second : NPC nullsec may not be as safe as HS but its far from "deadly" , no suicide people , no wars , no random neutrals .

ok you are just being silly now....bubbles, capitals, black ops, cyno's, no concord, no need for wars, random neutrals, i think you should post all the theory because id be delighted to see it.

you cant control npc nullsec so where are you going with this? and pve loses, killed plenty of them in curse when i was there

This is actually more true than you'd think. The missions in my guide that I use for Standing upkeep are the 'cream of the crop' so to speak. The primary attribute to them is actually not only how fast you can complete them but it's a combination of that, payout (dictated by an algorithm I believe) and bounties. There are actually missions that are a lot faster to complete than Gone Beserk/Attack of the drones (Before the stealth nerf) but that don't *quite* match the same isk/time spent. However, because they are faster, it allows me to run more burners so theoretically it should work out in the end.

Like I said, I'll adapt.

What is interesting is the fact that with bigger grids they might look at removing(or changing) the Warp Deceleration Cap (3AU/s I think?) This will be an indirect buff, more so with these changes since I'll be spending more time in warp, especially in interceptors (18.73 au/s).

Everything effects everything and when nerfs are sneaked in, especially without discussion, they often miss the target audience and make the game worse for newer players. Do you get why I care about having these kinds of changes in patch notes yet?
