Don't get the incursion part, but good luck trying to get your ship back after it got popped by something like 7 surprisingly coordinated purifiers. "I honestly thought I was in lowsec"

CCP should be more concerned about QUALITY players. I've been a loyal customer for years, and I only own two accounts at a time. Gara, and my "this year's alt until I get bored and sell it"..... although, to be honest, my current alt is the best-focused character I've ever owned, so I may never get rid of her.
ISBox players aren't quality.... they're using a cheap "I win button". Have you ever re-played an old game you used to enjoy with cheats enabled? It gets boring, fast. That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right... |

anything that will remove the insane alpha from bombs, while leaving bombers a viable deterrent to brainless blobs. so basically, make the item used to counter blobs, useless against blobs because they wont outdamage the reps.
congratulations, nobel prize thinking right there. |

Plus, ISBoxer fleets make quality players not want to play. By continuing to allow ISBoxers to do what they do, you're risking driving loyal players away from the game, in favor of a guy with 20 accounts who's just going to end up quitting when the next hot-ticket MMO goes live.

Don't think so highly of yourself. If you are complaining about ISBoxers then you are not a "quality" player. |

I've had my ass handed to me by bombers for years. With or without the new cloak rule and with or without ISBoxer.
I've witnessed the end of standard battleship doctrines because of it. There's even a very recent CFC bombingrun explaining why.
Although ISBoxer prebably makes it easier, I still think a proper bombing run takes skill. Cos I've also shot alot of bombers that didn't live up to the mark.
If the AOE becomes smaller, it should be all good in my opinion. |

It is not hard to find players that are unhappy with Isboxer's allowed use if you bother to read the forums, reddit or talk to people. Wether or not they are "quality players" is not for you to determine alone as it is subjective. |

Honestly bombers are fine the way they are. the only nerf I could see ccp giving them is reduce the number of bombs that can be use in the same area its currently 7 now I believe or make it so they can only carry 1 bomb and have to dock up for a reload. those are the only two ways I can see a stealth bomber getting nerfed with out killing what it is. I hope they stay the way they are tho there is no need to change the them they work as they should.
as far a ISboxxer goes thats an issue all on its own that has nothing to do with bombers you dont nerf/bance things around players that use ISboxxer thats just silly |

Let me explain. Time was, bombing was an activity done by groups of 8+ dudes. It took coordination to pull off, and was generally quite fun. Large and small alliances alike had bomber fc's and dedicated bomber groups. It was great.
Fast forward to today. There is little that 8 actual people playing the game can do in terms of bombing runs that won't be done with greater coordination and efficiency by a lone isboxing bomber. Moreover, in a fleet this frees up the other 7+ guys for other roles. Not using an isboxer for your bomber needs gimps your fleet in today's eve.
These days everyone from PL, the CFC, Moa, pasta, nulli, or any number of other groups use isboxed bombers for their bombing needs. That means fewer actual players launching bombs, and that makes me sad. |

Well on SiSI cloaked ships are decloaking each other when cloaked so i suspect that they are going to be changed.
Do they deserve a nerf? Yes.
What needs to change is that you can bomb, warp off, and very quickly be setup to bomb before your timer is even finished, and each wave if you are delivering a full bomber wing is like 50K + ehp nuke spread equally over a 15km radius sphere, making bombers the highest DPS ships on the field. Amazing damage should be challenging to apply though, as opposed to the www to me 0, www me at 0, align, decloak, bomb, warpout. That's 6 steps and the only thing that can go wrong is if someone presses that one button, and if the bomber FC cannot see a bubbler within 40 clicks. Not at all challenging at all for that 50k AOE nuke reward you get. Hopefully CCP implements the decloak changes currently on SiSi so we can have a 0.0 where bombers have some better counter play, and can actually **** up, and there is more effort involved with setting up bombing runs to get that huge amount of damage.
ISBox needs banning from bombing and all forms of PVP, until it is it's always gonna be used with bombing. I fear that it's gonna be a fact of life in eve though, like botting and RMT. |

1/ have the first bomb exploding destroy all other incoming bombs -> IsBoxer loose their automation advantage
2/ reasonably ii crease single bomb damage, now that only one will go off ona given bombing run -> bombing becomes a fun thing to do even when soloing, and wave of bombers can be thrown at staff with some coordination from large bombers wings., sequentially
3/ when a ship explode from a bomb damage, create a Shock wave that damages all ships close by -> a good bombing run versus a fleet not spread out can be as effective as a wing (IsBoxed or not) of bombers is now
"surrender your ego, be free". innuendo.
solo? There is a new hope http://turamarths-evelife.blogspot.com/2014/05/ok-now-im-betting-man.html |

Turned in to a stealth ban ISBoxer thread, as I expected...
Sure, +1, ban away so the players with VPN's can continue to use ISBoxer and the ones who aren't can go back to 1 or 2 accounts. I don't bot, I don't use ISBoxer for bombing fleets (much), but I am multiboxer who uses ISBoxer.
My main reason for using ISBoxer is for the VideoFX (Window Input/Output for viewing multiple instances or parts of instances) but I have managed other ways of doing that and pass through input. The day ISBoxer is banned, I will shepherd the lost multiboxers out their in the ways of engineering their own clients to run efficiently without the shackles of ISBoxer...
But then, what will you try to ban, the use of computers? Maybe you will turn your attention to macro'ed keyboards and mice, huh? So yeah, ban ISBoxer so I don't have to dredge through all the impotent comments including the words, "ban, nerf, not fair, quit, dying, overpowered, etc", and get on with some threads of substance.
-As far as the original thread is concerned, this is not the change that is needed if it truly is what would be used to nerf multiboxer bombers. The change you are looking for has been mentioned before in various threads and website forums. have a random sequence of keys (2-3 keys would be sufficient) that must be pressed once activation of the bomb is initiated or a randomly positioned dialog box appears that requires an actually mouse click. There are a few other ideas out there that would fix this as well, but this is already a tl; Dalto Bane for CSM10- Getting an early start. -á-My posts are my platform

Which plays into my idea. One player. One character in game period. I don't know how that would be accomplished but the whole alt thing is weak sauce imho. If you want to attack me with two ships or send a scout to jump ahead of you, a real MMO should force you to find multiple humans to work with. |

The stealth bomber is a submarine. A single submarine can (and has) sink (sank) the largest aircraft carriers that nations can field. I think one stealth bomber should be able to launch a volley of bombs ( not torpedos - face it, the torpedos in game are basically a 1 pounder deck gun) and destroy a carrier. :) Much work needs to be done on stealth bombers but nerfing them is not what they need. |

I must have missed something, can someone help me out?
I see a lot of speculation on "upcoming stealth bomber nerfs", but in this thread I didn't see any specific way they are going to be nerfed, just speculation on how or why they could be nerfed (*except something about cloaked guys decloaking each other).
So, I went to the dev announcement on Phoebe which mentioned, in passing, "stealth bomber and heavy interdictor balance passes...". I've clicked on links in that blog and they just go to long range jumping threads. I've looked elsewhere on the forums, and haven't seen any thread specific to stealth bombers.
So where is all this chatter coming from? Is there a place where devs have laid out what changes are coming? If so, please link me. I'd like to join the discussion about stealth bombers, but I can't do that in a meaningful way without something concrete from CCP for me to start with. HTFU.-á Adapt or die.-á Beware the falcon punch. |
