EVE General Discussion

Priorities are on making the game work in all important aspects: gathering, manufacturing and destruction.

lol man that guy with the lagging mic, mute it, the guy that logged out and escaped, fair play to him.
be honest, if it was one of your guys and he got away, you'd be saying well done man,, nice one

Dude...this is Eve. Stop sniveling, accept the loss and move on. You don't see every fool that got jacked during the Jita Burn posting up, do you? He was not aggressed, the timer does not apply. You didn't get a shiny KM, better luck next time.

Damn bears.

Risk free? Really? if that crew had had a bit more dps that freighter wouldn't have had a chance. Period. The fact is the pilot in question made a gamble and he won.

Just because you can sit on a gate for hours on end does not mean you are entitled to a kill. **** happens sometimes you get them sometimes you don't this was a don't the pilot in question got lucky nothing else.

The line is very simple you log off without agro you stay around for 1 minute you log off with agro you stay on for 15 or as long as you're aggressed.

I mean really whiners like you give PVP a bad name. "oh booohooohooo I couldn't kill a ship that had no ******* skills applied can't fit a ******* module and has no way of fighting back in less than a minute with 10 buddies, please oh please CCP make this game easier, it's too hard for me"


The answer is to stop crying and suck less not cry to CCP to compensate for your failings.

BTW you've doubled the amount of EHP a freighter has in your silly whine above , with no skills applied it's around 150k for a freighter and 175k for a JF.

This is way too many pages to be justified. Can't believe OP is still crying about missing a KM. Fire more lasorz or sit outside Jita if you are that hard up for a freighter. QQ and L2thermodynamics.

Who bumped this thread?

For those too stupid to understand, just the fact that the OP was clearly posting because he'd wanted the KM doesn't mean this usage of the logoff mechanic isn't unfair

CCP Goliath said they had a look at it and I assume they had a look at it

Now stop posting in this ancient thread that's already far done with for the love of God

no exploit here

he logged off while UNAGRESSED
he gets a 1 minute timer

you can't agress someone who is not logged in, so it remains a 1 minute timer even if you shoot him

appears to be working as intended

as someone else pointed out you do have the option to wait for him to come back, and he will come back to the 20k off the gate e was at when he logged.

christsakes, quit being a baby and learn how to deal with the unexpected

yes ironic isn't it, you banked on him not expecting you to be there, and then come and cry on the forums when he does something unexpected in return.

heavy irony

isn't discussing exploits bad and can get you in lots of trouble? you're ment to do stuff like file a petition wait for a gm to respond then either be happy with the result or appeal and have it moved up to a higher ranking gm to look at to see if the right choice was made anythin else is bad mmmk

edit: apparently not with devs commenting on it and the like wow i fail at reading and stuff today

Every time I see one of these tear threads I wonder why you must jump .5 ly to end up within 15km of a single point every time..

Let me tell you a story, a story about pirates camping an entry system into our area of space. One day these pirates, while doing their usual shenanigans, notice a freighter jumped into their system. We were working our hardest to blockade this area of space to prevent our enemies from gaining reinforcements. We were elated that there was a freighter, likely from our enemies, that jumped randomly into our waiting arms. He decloaked, we pointed, locked, attacked, and then he disappeared.

We were, rightly so, angry. So, we did the only thing that was left to us. While this guy was logged off and doing other things, we had at LEASt 1 person sitting on that stargate 23/7 for the next 3 weeks waiting for this guy to log in. He likely had a neutral alt looking at us every now and then because he never ever logged in. After 3 weeks of waking up early, staying up really late, missing classes and work, we re-evaluated our position. We had poured countless hours into the camping of this stargate for the freighter, our locator agents told us he was still in system, so we knew he hadn't gotten out. But, because the freighter pilot was logged off, he could go do whatever he wanted and waste days and days of our lives while he just checked back every once in a while to see if it was safe. After 3 weeks we just couldn't keep it up, so we went back to our normal routine.

He promptly logged in, warped off, and went on to safety.

Moral of the story? This guy was a complete idiot and jumped unscouted into our camp. He logged off, so we couldn't kill him in time. Then we had to put days of our lives into camping for the freighter, while the target only had to look at our forces every once in a while, and he went and did other stuff. The amount of time we had to invest in killing him was WAY out proportional to the effort he had to do to ensure his complete safety. Camping the system for the freighter to log in just doesn't work because he can just stay offline indefinately until we give up. Additionally there was no way that we could have ever possibly killed him, since he logged out immediately upon jumping in.

It's a broken mechanic. If we're able to aggress before he can warp off, he deserves to die.
