John Lander just announced "Iteration on Incursions" coming in the pre-patch (April)

SOOO what are your predictions?


I will start:

Scout sites get a boost
Vanguards will not be blitzed in 3min.
Assault/HQ changes (no idea)


EDIT:

Changes per features page-

Changes are VG get nerf
Assault get buff.

See pg 8 for details

Nerfing High-sec is never the answer. It is the question. The answer is 'YES'.

VG nerf.
The intresting thing will be the new modules coming oout on the next expansion. John Lander promised big chances in fleet composations.

Hopefully high sec incursions will no longer be the risk-free isk faucet they are today. Lucky we got a decent CSM to deal with the issue.

So you think CCP is going to mandate players shoot each other to gain the incursion rewards??

Would be interesting

I don't really care about the mechanics but people shouldn't be able to make that much isk in a risk-free environment.

CCP should be forced to provide risk in EVE. Since highsec is risk free we obviously cannot leave it up to the players themselves.

Sandboxes are dumb amirite?

I missed hearing ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING being said about Incursions in all of fanfest! What time was this mentioned ????

Maybe Iteration means that there will be a new pirate faction or Sleeper Incursion? Maybe a Jovian Incursion will replace Sansha after a Sansha Titan gets taken down I hopes :)

Did not get a time stamp, but (iirc) it was the only time Lander talked today.

And don't worry about missing "content". There was none.

That's not what I said at all. If players want to play in a risk-free environment I don't care but they shouldn't be able to easily make billions of isk doing it.

High risk - high reward
Low risk - low reward

It's simple.

My guess? Tagging shortcut and more HQ sites. Vanguards wont be "nerfed" as so many have lied to try to get done. Perhaps HQ payout boost.

It would be sweet if they weighted the spawning mechanic to favor low or null.

Correct. Assuming you're talking about high sec incursions.

Vanguards nerfed certainly, but if CCP has any sense of balance they will inject PvP into High Sec Incursions or remove them altogether.

Why? That would just decrease participation in one of the few PVE content lines that works.

The fleet UI itself need help. Badly. The interface for the fleet window is so impenetrable for new users that it's a HUGE turnoff.

Vans will get nerfed to a point where they are pointless. Assaults will be boosted without trying to min/max them before release.

As a result the whining will be ENDLESS, as usual and folk will make even more ISK in a risk free environment that doesn't work well with wars and kill rights.

When wardecs get boosted the whining will be ENDLESS and pretty much any Incursioneed will drop back into NPC corps after they all went into the same corp to make wardecs insanely expensive.

If you take all the sand out of the box, only the cat poo will remain.
