EVE General Discussion

I love how Titan owners and their hanger-ons are trying to paint this as the work of a few GOON DEVS.

As if a change like this didn't have a majority support among both new and longtime players and developers alike.


Remember kids, just say no to Titans Online.

If you seriously quit over 1 class of ship being brought in line with the system of combat they designed for the game then you must not have enjoyed the game all the much anyway.

Was there this much ragequit when they went from instagib doom cannons to deathstars because that felt like a bigger change than this.

Better POS? Invest in your corp's growth?

Should a Rohk beat a Dram 1v1 because it costs 3 times as much? Eve isn't about having the biggest shoulder pads with the most colorful name. You don't get guaranteed a victory because your lvl 85.

tears and tinfoil-hats all in one single package ... this thread delivers.

You are welcome now gimme a like & 1 million ISKies so I can afford the faction tin foil hats soon to be released by NEX Oh yes please at least a 9/10 or a 10/10 for the threads tears & inevitable goon foreum post bombing

Then whats the point of working to lvl85?

If you bring enough lvl 20's then you can kill the lvl 85.

They do have an advantage. Titans still have the same EHP as a starbase and can put down enough damage to level capital fleets and structures in seconds. The difference now is that they can no longer do this without risk.

The balance vs cost rule of thumb for EVE used to be: "10 times the cost, double the effectiveness". Titans reached the point where they were "10 times the cost, 10+ times the effectiveness"
Edit: just look at how effective that 1.5bn isk Vindicator is compared to a 150m ISK Megathron.

You just have to look at the original dreadnought design made 6 years ago to see how EVE's approach to balancing (is supposed to) work. Relatively low damage output until it went into siege mode and commited itself to a fight, at which point it recieves severe tracking penalities to stop the massive damage output insta-killing small ships in one shot.
Somewhere along the way CCP forgot that approach (or more likely didn't realise how bad the situation was), and now it has been rectified.


I think you missed the part where THIS IS NOT WORLD OF WARCRAFT

Butthurt much ? If you had the Titan, would you not use it that very way everyone else is, just so you have the have the advantage.

Its not CCP fixing anything broken, its making the whining chumps go from losers to feeling like champions (I smell Hollywood movie script about a local community loser sports team of kids set in space!). Enemy isn't bringing titan ships, WTF you going to need to use your titan since it can't hit anything since the enemy is going to exploit that obvious weakness with a fleet of X-Wing Rifters. Its like

"Hey, good job out their. You lost fair and square since their is no rule about XL guns being capable of hitting smaller targets, but this should make you feel better since losers are always the winner in their own imagination. Its not your fault you don't have super caps, but congrats and now welcome back to subcap BS blobs of 2009."

You fail to provide your own cap fleets, fail to make friends with cap ships, fail to bring nothing but hundreds of battleship sub caps to a fire fight and the enemy can kick your ass with a fraction of that number number of pilots in Titans. I finally see the light, its the fault of the capital pilots fault you lost, therefore they are exploiting nothing that actually breaks the game (really, are they producing isk with no risk?...no? So yeah, its the loser's fault for losing but the Titan pilot is at fault.)

CONGRATS TO THE WHINING CHUMPS! Can we dumb down EVE even more, like adding a PVP flag so no one takes full fault for their own actions (like idiots taking on cap ships with out their own cap ships). Solves the whole issue of the losers not feeling like losers when they wander into a gate camp, hulks getting popped when you go AFK or firing on a ninja in their mission space, obvious fix is to just avoid the whole issue to begin with (as in, opt out and you are totally safe from feeling like a loser ).

And note: I do not fly a titan or any cap ship. Just see loud mouth whiners bitchwhining how unfair they got their ass kicked, whined how its the Titan's fault and other guys meta-gamed better then the losers in the sub caps (really, dude give up tank and work as a team to kick your ass isn't that what you are supposed to do in an MMO? but you lack the counter and its obviously the winner on your kill mail that was at fault). Next up, bunch of carebears whine how they don't belive highsec is truely safe and it should be absolutely safe making everything you all so love be a bannable offense.

Totally not OP
