Until Incursions are removed from High Sec or lose CONCORD protection they can never be nerfed enough, and yes lvl 4s should be next. |

I know, I fly in W-space as well... Usually I'm one of the people hunting trying to find w-space fleets to kill.
But never have I seen one with as much bling as any serious incursion runner.
Also I wasn't whining about losing incursion fleets... I was saying that one criticism of incursions is that they are "risk free" when in reality they are not. If your logi's bail/DC/suck/grief... You can lose billions of isk |

I am all for change.
One of the things I said when I started doing incursions was "omg, we're making too much money" And it's been known for a long time that the nerf was coming...
But we were hoping for changes that would benefit the incursion community on a whole. Instead the actioned changes have a more negative effect on the community than the elitist blitz fleets.
If anything, the only way to actually make the sites worth doing would be to be part of an elitist blitz fleet. It's the only way you're going to get the sites done in any decent time. |

the "omg im making too much money" isnt really that accurate
> wait 2 hours to get into a fleet then make 70mil in an hour then fleet falls apart
thats the typical incursion runner experience only people who invest time into creating groups who can form quickly make more then 100mil/hr (if you include form up time) |

Vanguard blitz fleets used to do OTAs and NMCs in 3-4 minutes, that has been nerfed to 5-6 minutes for NMCs and 7-8 minutes for OTAs.
It's not "blitzing" anymore but they have pretty much made it so ONLY shiny ships with high dps will be able to make decent money. |

I'll agree with that. I have a feeling that people flying those shiny ships are going to start looking for income sources though, which will in turn make fleets more difficult/ time consuming to get up.

Did you actually read my post?
I don't think you did. I was suggesting nullsec incursions to get nerfed as well. Do you not understand why? I will tell you why: Because we, and by we, I mean nullsec alliances, already know where all possible nullsec incursions can spawn, and have jump bridge networks around them. Whenever they spawn in friendly space, we all go jew it up, we have tons of scouts, and the area is locked down. In hisec there is some risk of suicide ganking. During a nullsec incursion there is zero risk, and I am not given to exaggeration.
Nullsec incursions, by and large, rarely get run, because they often spawn in space where the local sov holders don't know what to do with them (looking at you, SMA), and therefore usually ran their courses and despawned at 0%. Lowsec incursions were where we were making bank. Not nullsec.
Lowsec incursions are the riskiest, as they can not be locked down and hellcamped like nullsec incursions, and there is no Concord like in hisec. A small ahac gang can come in and mess your day up if (when) you get lazy.
Whining? Nah. No whining. Just sad, because this was a fun social thing for ~everyone~ that isn't going to happen anymore unless CCP backs off a little on the nerfbat. |

Do some effort.
There is plenty of null space available for rent ATM since recent move left most of it deserted.
Join some proper alliance and make yourself move to null. Find out what REAL waiting is when you need to jump your fleet (both pvp and pve) into new location while every deployment and midjump zone is merrily camped by reds / neuts. Then grind 40 x 3 x 2 day reinforcment timers to claim your space for countless hours in fleets of dreads, carriers, logi, fighting off enemy fleets who arent so happy for taking their sov etc etc...
Then you will realise shouting "shiny DPS mach LFSF" isnt what teaming up to do effort is all about... And THEN you will realise null "bears" have a point in shunning pathetic efforts in keeping giant hisec ISK faucets such as incursions intact...

I tried incursions once or twice when I was waiting for my JC 24 hr timer to run out so i can jump back to null...
I browsed loadouts and found nice "abaddon VG LFAF" which cost no more then 20M isk in mods + hull which I already had to fit... Opened journal, found incursion site, got there and spammed "abaddon VG LFAF" for 10 mins till someone had mercy and let me in, so i joined TS etc etc, joy... Next thing -> we got into site, FC marked primaries pew pew, shot 3-4 frigates, 2-3 cruisers, 1 BS -> 5-10 mins altogether with warping in and out and message pops out and Im 10M isk richer. I was like FFS, whats this, why the **** am I looking over my shoulder all the time in null when there is something like this around in hisec.
There, is nerf now explained?

Agree with above poster, there was not really much point of nerfing incursions outside of hi sec.

No guys, of course people like the CFC low-sec Incursion group are going to haul around 25-30Bn fleets of fitted ships in carriers (Nightmares are small I heard), make sure consumables such as ammo are available as well as making sure everyone are organized, travel all across the galaxy in low/null, keep active scout eyes in the entire constellation, form up to kill hostile fleets or otherwise hellcamp them and all this for less money per hour than it takes to run Serpentis or Guristas Sanctums. |

CCP always goes too far when they nerf. It's either way too good or way too bad. I am disappointed that they still haven't learned how to nerf things without making them 100% worthless and unusable.
Just keep crying they will fix them, highsecbears are most of their customers afterall. and stop running them for a few weeks. If they see 0 VG sites done in weeks they'll change them, they always do ;) |

Exactly, highsec should have been nerfed a little or CONCORD suspended in Incursion areas. As it stands CCP has killed a social mechanic meant to bring people together. The risk/reward was fine for lowsec in fact could have been boosted a tad, and nullsec could have used a little nerf, but highsec was what needed to be fixed but not this hard. Personally I would have nerfed payout on highsec, encouraging players to move to lowsec incursions which would have created more targets and conflicts between incursion fleets.
Interesting how CCP chooses burn what I'm sure was bunch of labor to bring Incursions into the game. Oh well at least some programmers got payed for something that won't be used anymore.
Good job CCP |

By your definition, undocking in EvE is not Risk-Free. As you can get suicide ganked any minute , DC in a mission , or just lock up and shoot someone in highsec. That is not Risk.
Also, the amount of shinies in your fleet means it is risk free. If it wasn't then you wouldn't put that much money into one ship that is about to die any minute.

Didn't you guys say same thing that you guys said before the nerf ? that most of their customers are HS bears so they won't nerf incursions ? :) |

welcom to the NEW day's of incurtions...
where you befor was able to run .. and have fun in a group.. training pilot's up for Assult and YES PvP .. you now have made all this useless.. unless you REALY know's what is going on.. you will not be able to do anything at all...
befor this patch.. ppl was "farmeing" VG's yes.. and skilled players WHO have been around sinds the begining was able to top off a werry high sorse of incom running this.. "speed" fleet's was made from "elite" players who put in the time to get the right skill's for what thy needed to do... and YES thy did get there pay out .. a fair value of there time and devotion.
to the fact about all ppl unning VG's got stinky rich.. EVERY one knowes this is not true.. you had 6 site's per sytem.. and you had 8 fleet's running.. you did only shoot a site for like 4 min's to get 10 mill... but after this NORMAL runners was Waiting 15 maybe 20 min's for there next site..
I was running this new VG's yesterday after DT. i do enjoy that we have to relay on the FC to derict the main fire.. "eg. might as well fly PVP fleet's" and i do enjoy that ppl flying shiney ship's are paying attention 120%.. and not Tab's out to read forum or what ever.. social chat in fleets are DEAD.. you can't text chat while fighting . and you can't Talk over the FC..
Running missions if FARE better to do now.. as your the ONLY human in a mission WHO can **** up.. not like now where it dosn't mather if YOU do it right.. another player might not and your risk of dead fleet.
seccont... Let's talk about server stability .. you have a VG fleet running with enogh DPS ship's and Logi's to still suvive if members of fleet Crashed... thanks to CCP. this is no longer posable.. if you lose members from your VG fleet . you will be out gunned by the incomming sansha force.. and members will die..
but then again.. try to remember EVE is a game .. not a part time job...
for those of you who don't like part's of the game.. do something else.. and IF you find nothing else to do in EVE.. find another GAME.. enjoy your free time in life... enjoy ever houre.. the wrested time you spent on something you don't like will never come back....
Thums up for Nill seq... another manipulation great proformed.. what is the next thing you guy's like to **** up? |
