Took me a little while to find it, https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=173400&p=2 I was pretty sure this was comming when the PVP'ers were trolling the PVE'ers on the new AI, with a standard comment bieng HTFU and learn to PVP,
So here we are we've come full circle. Now instead of HTFU they are crying 'foul'.
Dont need to follow the link I copy paste it below.

I for one am looking forward to the change. Might not be so good on the drones, I might even have to keep a few extra lights and less mediums in the drone bay but I look forward to the next time some stealthy bomber or GÇÿwhateverGÇÖ warps into a group of NPCGÇÖs I am ratting, or and tries the old Scram/Blam on a mission runner.
As we all know PVP fits donGÇÖt work in missions any better than Mission fits work in PVP. I foresee the inevitable uncloaked ship going for the easy kill of a mission boat and having the entire room switch to the new cruiser/frig on the field, no more waiting for a new spawn and hope they get the agro.
The Tears should not be coming from Missions runners, the real tears should be coming from the Gank fits that will now have to tank the room same as me while they try to get to shiny Mission runner or Ratting alts mods.
So it just goes to show the truth in 'You can please some of the people some of the time, none of the people all of the time' Reason and logic never wins over Stubborn and Convinced-á (But-áI still try..) |

i agree with goldiee . Following these forums i seen many times pvp's trolling on pve complains. So now its the best time to say adapt to it etc. Getting free kills (because if you do needed before to actually pvp you would be searching for pvp fitted ships as many people that do respect do ) with the help of npc is over. It is still viable to do , just with a bit more expensive ship . If you use recons they can still do their job , you just have to time it correct.
But i do admire that on the forumes best tears pvp tears so far especially for the risk free part of changes Ride hard, live with passion-á |

It's hurting solo playstyle and the AI doesnt actually make any sense at all.
If you want to reach out to solo players this would be a good start.
This could actually be moved to ideas forum, didnt think before posting.
Thanks.
Stop being a ***** and man up. So it's ok for him to be shot by rats whilst YOU instigate PVP, but as soon as the rats start shooting you it's suddenly unfair?
The target YOU chose is already taking damage, most likely at a disadvantage already being fit for PVE and you still need more. Why don't you just go back to Wow.... |

If he was a PVPer he would not be crying.
To the OP I say; If the only way you can successfully gank a carebear is when you have NPC rats helping you kill them then your fail at PVP in every possible way.
Killing carebears while they are running missions is not PVP it is Ganking, while Ganking is a form of PVP, and a form of game play in itself, is is not the same thing.
Comparing ganking carebears to real PVP is like comparing skiing/snow boarding at the local bunny hill to doing so in the Alps. Going down the bunny hill 5000 times will not prepare you for what you will face in the Alps, but if you are really bored it can pass the time...
CCP will not change mechanics to stop you from scanning down and ganking carebear mission runners, but they also will not change mechanics to make doing so even easier than it is now.
If you are so bad at PVP that you have to resort to ganking carebears to get kills then you have no business calling yourself a PVPer, you are just a Ganker.
If you fail at Ganking so bad, that you come on the forums and cry for CCP to make Ganking easier then I am sorry there is just no hope for you.
Did you find running missions and carebearing to hard? So you decided to try Ganking as your primary profession? If you had any level of PVP skill, Ganking carebears would not be a problem for you.

lol and wow, that is all I have to say to a bunch of moronic posts.
Just goes to show how little some of you guys actually understand PVP mechanics. I'm not even going to go into it because clearly I'll just be wasting my time.
For those that do understand, I feel your pain, back to the blob it is for me it seems. |

The other day I went after bait, both of us got aggressed, no complaints on my part, added to the fun and uncertainty. Now I understand the OP's problem, lets analyse it he was going into CA's with a SB and pointing them and adding his DPS to the rats so he can take down the ratter, before it was easy, but now the frigate and cruiser rats switch to him and he pops, this has made his tactics no longer viable. Because most people warp out as soon as a neutral or red comes in system he cannot time it, he has to grab them there or then, now he gets popped. I understand his issue, however I don't agree with it being changed back to how it was, I like it now. He needs to sit down and think again what you do, but one thing is possible, people may become complacent due to the added layer of protection, but its no longer easy for camping SB's and that is a good thing...

There's an awful lot of 'solo' mentioned in the OP.
Maybe you should try and actually solo for once.
Let me guess, you've never actually engaged a target before, unless it was already under fire. Probably never engaged something that wasn't a PvE fit?
If you can't kill a PvE fit with no ewar, exactly knowing what damage profile they are tanked for, while under split NPC fire, then...
They did fix NPC AI. They fixed it so it wasn't so loopsided and entirely to the benefit of the attacker. HTFU. |

For those that do understand, I feel your pain, back to the blob it is for me it seems.
Let me explain something, When a self proclaimed PVPer decides to hunt and kill other players, who are not only flying ships not fit for PVP, but already in combat with a group of NPC, this while a form of PVP is in every sense of the word, Ganking. While I can agree that at times this can be a lot of fun to do. And has it's place in every MMO. But it is not what I would call real PVP. If it is the only way you can get kills, it demonstrates you lack of PVP skills, and in no way makes you a good or even competent PVPer. To then come on the forums and complain that you need the developers to change PVE mechanics because ganking carebears is to hard, well that is just sad.
I understand that the current NPC A.I. where NPC's attack you when you pop into a carebears mission site or in this case a null bears ratting PLEX. It is not like the entire room switches agro, you are both taking NPCdamage. That seems fair to me. What I do not understand is why this is a problem. You are ganking a ship set up for PVE that most likely already has taken damage, if you time it right. The odds are stacked in your favor, why should it be changed to put the PVE'er at even more of a disadvantage. This is ganking not PVP.
What I would call real PVP is random open world encounters when both sides are looking for a fight. Real PVP is very rarely a fair fight. A 1vs1 in even matched ships is more dueling then true PVP. True PVP takes a lot of skill, while ganking is just a matter of timing, and finding targets you can not lose against. Someone who claims to be a PVPer but can not even pull off a gank, well that is just pathetic. |

I am not sure I understand, so let me try to simplify it:
You don't like it when something you have little to no control over interferes with your game play, and want CCP to do something to about it?
How is that different from carebears wanting some level of protection from PVP, and why is one argument more deserving than the other? Reason and logic never wins over Stubborn and Convinced-á (But-áI still try..) |

Im not suggesting protection. Im asking for AI that is intelligent.
"So in turn nobody deserves protection from NPC's either, after all it's a sandbox. :) "
Currently the PVE'r has the protection when you land on grid.
So yes, I agree with your statement, no one should have full protection. If they want to make it completely random then thats fine. It shouldnt be the last person that lands on grid for a minute and then switch back or to alternative target.
Does that make sense? |

Attacking the enemy that they can kill easier (not fit for PVE) isn't intelligent? I mean, that's the reason you're trying to gank people who already have NPC's attacking them isn't it? They're easier targets?
All I'm seeing is "Please CCP, make it so that the NPC's always help me when I PVP". |

No you are wrong in your assumption. clearly you are not able to read my post.
I don't want help, just intelligent AI or a fix that doesnt break this part of the game I and others enjoy. Go back and read the post..at least before posting. |

When I try to gank a PVE player, some of the NPC's in the site attack me instead of helping me gank to PVE'er.
The advantage I already have over the PVE'er by having my ship fitted for PVP, and the PVE'er most likely already having some damage is not enough.
You must change the A.I. to make my fail ganking attempts easier, as it is the only PVP I no how to do, and the current A.I> makes it to hard for me as a fail PVP'er to successfully gank many PVE players.
Despite what you may think OP, this is what I read in your post. If you fail at PVP so bad that you can not even properly gank a PVE fit ship, no amount of changes the developers make can make you a good PVPer without destroying the game for all the non gankers.
Considering that PVE players out number PVP players, even in EVE by about 8 to 1 such a change will never happen. Please stop your crying as my tier bucket is full, and you are making a mess on the floor.

I get why it's annoying, and almost impossible to acomplish using old techniques.
I have always thought PVP in this manner was empty and without reward, there is no victory beating lame dogs, PVP should be a test of skills and thier application, it should have risks on both sides and have margins for winning decided durring the fight not because the fight was onesided from the start.
I hope that this new AI helps you to find fights that actually test your skills, not simply allow you to take advantage of someones elses lack of tactical knowleged and bad timing.

Does that make sense? mission and ratting sites are set up as NPC territory. The NPC's do not care if you are friends or enemies of the invader they are already fighting, you are invading their space and must be destroyed.
The A.I. bases threat level on ship size, not ship DPS, or who was there first. If a PVE'er is flying a battleship, and you show up in a T2 cruiser all the smaller NPC's will change target to you, as you are the right size in their primary engagement bracket, while the BS is larger than their preferred engagement bracket. The battleships are still attacking the battleship.
If there are two or more ships invading the NPC space, a "smart" NPC cruiser pilot know they will be more effective engaging other cruiser size ships, then engaging a BS.
Just because the NPC A.I. does not work the way you think it should, does not mean it is not working correctly. |

I'm fully capable of reading your inane post.
Your entire point was that you're getting your knickers all wadded up because when you attempt to get a cheap kill in on someone who is in the process of killing rats (in a PVE ship), the rats target you also. This is ruining your version of "fun". The simply solution is to not jump into a swarm of red crosses hoping to get a cheap kill. You want CCP to cater to your specific style of game play by not letting rats target you. I get it. |

HTFU and adapt like everyone has to, ya dont see anyone crying that the blops changes are bad, making ratters vulnerable, you can throw your "RP" about as much as you like but to the NPC you are a hostile ship on grid, perhaps in league with the guy hes already shooting, in a smaller squishier ship! OF COURSE he should gank you

I am not siding with the OP by a long shot, but do take note that NPCs will primary a player ship using electronic warfare. That means once you switch that warp scrambler on, you are now primary for the whole room. If the OP wants the NPC target switching to be fair, then he needs to be complaining about the NPC reaction when a player uses a electronic warfare module.
Just to clear it up, Electronic Warfare includes warp disupters, warp scramblers, stasis webs, ecm, damps, etc. Basically anything that requires the Electronic Warfare skill to use. |
