Can't say it is really since they had this planned long before the bug came up but it is still very suspicious if you ask me.
No, there was already a thread on this, and it was confirmed it's a display bug due to TiDi and Highsec Defenses not syncing properly. In short, the red flashy pods aren't actually criminals when you are firing at them. The original bug was it wasn't letting you know and there were hundreds of people being popped by Concord on accident. |

The timing is very suspicious. They just made changes to the aggression system in preparation of more changes in Inferno. its so suspicious that there would be a bug when CCP makes a major change.
It was to be expected.
However, since it is a known bug... can we petition for ships back when we get Concorded from it, and have those who use this bug to get lols be banned for exploiting? |

Somebody needs to pod them anyway and find out if you get concorded. Maybe it's just a glitch with the warning system? I recall one night in a nightclub called the matrix, there I was... Mother of god there I am! Holy f**k. |

You get concorded. I made most of my money in Jita trading and now my sec wont allow me to haul in 0.8s and above. By the time the petition gets seen to i'll have wasted 1/3rd of a months worth of game play. Looks like Burn jita worked, I'll probably not be back |

I've been popping pods in Jita just fine. You do know the pod popping rules, right? Hint, if someone goes GCC and flashes red in JIta and his sec is -2.0 you cannot shoot his pod. I've seen quite a few people in Jita shooting red pods with positive sec because they are red.
Post a quick youtube video of the bug. |

I did a couple of tests just to see for myself what would happen when shooting flashy pods.
I watched someone get blown up by concord and their pod was marked as outlaw (or flashy red as some like to say.) Destroying this pod got me killed by station guns and I took at ~30% security hit. (From 0.0 to -3.2)
Later on I went ahead and attacked someone to get GCC ... honestly can't remember if it was concord or station guns or what that shot me that time.) I hung around in my pod with GCC and someone in a noob ship started shooting me. I was able to see his sec status both before and after and he went from 0.0 to -3.2 as well.
So I don't know what that all means to be honest. I don't pvp in hisec so I'm not entirely clear on the rules for podding. I thought at least at one time you could pod outlaws in highsec. Maybe that doesn't count for pods flashy from GCC? "....as if 10,058 Goon voices cried out and were suddenly silenced."

For me was always clear, if background was red and flashy and no mater if with GCC or withaut GCC i was able aways to shot.
Btw remove concord because they useless, freighters pilots die even 100 concord oficer on gate, concord are just additional chaos and drop of FPS on scren, and no mater if somone is red or not you cant shot :D |

And the silent majority simply does not care to post on the forums. Eventually, with all the screws being turned on high sec players by all the null sec zealots in-game and the faction within CCP (Jon Landers, CCP Soundwave et al), the silent majority will just let their subs lapse.
It will take months to percolate through, but by August, no later than September/October, CCP will see a slow but noticeable drop in subs as the silent majority give up playing. The sociopaths will be overjoyed. The accountants and marketing people within CCP will not be quite so overjoyed. CCP will not announce the drop in subs, they never do.
That will be the turning point. Will CCP take action to reign in the group intent on turning Eve into Anarchy Online, catering to a small, but dedicated group of sick people? Or will they decide be happy to be a niche company with a style of gameplay that will never attract the causal player?
My bet, unfortunately, is that the sociopaths will win out, and Eve will continue down a path of "shut up carebear, killing is the only career path, give me your stuff before I blow it up".

Unless you are at war with the said persons corporation it was never allowed to shoot on pods (even the flashy ones) in high security systems. That is what I remember at least |

Yeah people are jumping to conclusions. When I saw a red pod and concord warning I also wondered why. When I chcked his sec status he was sitting at 1.8, not below -5.
I was wondring why so many people were getting concorded in Jita, well now I know. GCC pods showing up as red even if you can't shoot them is ********. I'm not a Pirate, I'm a Terrorist.

The change in Inferno was that pods show as criminals now, which was intended
Am I wrong? yes, wrong, i podded someone in jita a few weeks ago, im in an npc corp so no wars, they were flashy red, i had no concord trouble.
So that means everyone whom gets concorded in Jita or shooting the blinky PODs will get thier ships reimbursement back in what 3-4 weeks after they finally get to them due to the backlog this has obvoiusly created? The Sec Status I'm sure will take as least as long to fix To the whiners : CCP Soundwave "Incursions are not a big issue in terms of isk globally" |

Taking the tinfoil hats off for a moment;
The recent crimewatch revamp may have some unintended bugs.
Also TiDi was designed for null sec and so was probably never full tested with the crimewatch system.

So here's the rules: * You can freely kill a pod if the pilot is an outlaw (below -5 sec status) * You can't kill a pod if the pilot just has a GCC. If you try, you'll get the non-suppressible "Are you sure? CONCORD will wtfpwn you if you do this" dialog This has always been the case
Normally someone with GCC will show up as red. What changed with Escalation was that we removed a special case in the UI that suppressed this red if they had GCC AND were in a pod. Now someone with GCC will always show up as red, regardless of their ship. However you will stil get punished if you kill a GCC pod BUT only if you click 'Yes' to the CONCORD question.
I do agree this can be a little confusing, and we're looking at adjusting it a little based on feedback such as this. "This one time, on patch day..." CCP Masterplan -á| -áTeam Five-0: Rewriting the law |

You can permanently suppress the CONCORD pop-up with a convenient check-box, so people are getting GCC'd because they shot a red pod, without receiving a warning. The 'bug' was far more useful from an information standpoint - if the pod was red, you could shoot it (which is in-line with the general theme that red=dead). Now red kinda sorta maybe means dead, but only if you triple check (by which time the pod has warped off).
I personally think the change is hilarious - all of the actual outlaws are relatively protected and a bunch of people who don't check the sec status before shooting are getting CONCORDed. If that was your goal +1, otherwise you should probably change it back to the way it was, and call it a "feature."
EDIT: As a side note, CCP used to have the stance of HTFU if you suppressed a warning and it got you killed. That was, of course, until they put in the non-suppressible warnings/pop-ups for repping people who gain new aggression flags to save incursioners. |

Quoted because nobody listens to this sort of post. There really are some wildly sick people playing eve, whether or not the game will concentrate them and fall over sideways due to their toxic influence remains to be seen.

Benny Ohu wrote:What was the purpose of removing the suppression thingy?
They didn't remove any form of suppression. In the Escalation patch, CCP modified how pods of pilots who have a GCC timer are displayed on the overview. Prior to Escalation, these pods would appear like any other pod (white) unless the pilot was an outlaw, meaning their security status was below -5.0. In this instance (being an outlaw), their pod would appear red on the overview, so everyone knew they could legally shoot the pod - if they could catch it. Because the GCC pods were white, they knew that they could not legally shoot this pods without facing the wrath of CONCORD.
With Escalation, this was changed so that pods belonging to pilots who just went GCC appear as red on the overview. In fact, they are indistinguishable from outlaw pods at a glance - with the only differentiating factor being the security status displayed in your 'Selected Item' window. What's happening now, is that people who have their 'CONCORD will blow you up if you shoot this' warning permanently suppressed are getting CONCORDED for shooting pods that are red.
Part of this is people being stupid, the rest is CCP being, well, CCP, and 'fixing' a 'bug' that has made gameplay both more difficult and more obscure without actually thinking about the consequences. |

I personally paid Darius Johnson to implement this. We sat down and had a good laugh about everyone that would die trying to pod my thrasher fleets pods. Remember kids: When it's blinking red, you just pod away! Ignore those warnings.
On a related note, please continue to undock ships with 5bil in cargo in them. Our friendly hug squads will be on the undock, waiting to dispense morale boosting ammunition deliveries to all ships. |

Ah, I misunderstood. I completely agree with you - from a game-play perspective, this change adds nothing of value yet greatly detracts from general usability of the overview. |
