So tomorrow brings new changes to the watchlist. now being called the buddy list with mutual consent needed to see if the other player is online or not.
What are the opinions of these changes with my fellow C&P dwellers?
Personally I think the changes will be interesting. not knowing the exact about of enemy players from one Corp/alliance that are currently online plus not being able to spot that log off trap stands out for myself.
Don't confuse kindness with weakness.
Beware the hand of Fybs.

I just posted on the thread in general discussion. It kind of kills the hunting aspect of the game and pushed mercs to be more like ...fill in the blank... And sit in Jita and Amarr all day or just camp the pipes. Not real happy about it but I guess we will see. |

I hope we'll see a huge increase in capital &, especially, super-cap engagements with this change.
not being able to see that your enemy has logged in their supers means when they land, you're surprised and need to start calling in your own (or run like the wind).
I think this is a great change for the better all round. Sure, there'll be some whining and complaining by those who utilised the watchlist heavily. But, given some time, they'll find workarounds (SPAIS!).

For a hunter who uses the watchlist as a means of finding people and locating them, I find the change to be destructive to a point that I'm actually giving up that style of play. I've been pretty vocal about it in the GD threads. But it seems CCP rather commit a broad stroke to fix some the Nullbloc are whining about, rather than making an intelligent thought out nerf.
Which to be fair isn't really their style. I am pretty upset about it, personally. There are some ways to uses the watchlist nerf to your advantage for wardecs, but largely it involves using it against Large merc corps. Which although would be fun. It completely annihilates all other aspects of the game style.

This I can agree with, if your your in null or low, and wormhole this won't effect you much, but being a highsec merc this effects us a ton, now we can no longer find those targets who people specifically ask us to kill, agents become completely useless and it's back to a guessing game. Thanks for ****ing us, where's the steak dinner. |

Tea is indeed the answer, I'm sure code will give me mutual consent, lets all give it, why on the subject of change I say keep faction police, if you don't want them to shoot you don't be - 10, run missions or pay the isk
A soft answer turneth away wrath. Once wrath is looking the other way, shoot it in the head.

Since I didn't use it much anyway (a lot of wartargets stay logged on all the time......just to fish the watchlist....), I am very gleeful that now wartargets won't be aware of when I am online.....
And that should make them...very nervous...;)
Also, this opens up new careers in hisec....Professional Scout. Think about it.......for a reasonable fee I, Sam Spade, will fly down those mean stargates and find the scumbag you are looking for.
Also also, gives the newbros something to do.
Everything in EVE is a trap.
And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

As a high sec merc who enjoys gathering intel on targets then watchlisting them to locate when online im beyond pissed off with the introduction of this mechanic.
With the amount of inactive characters and alts it would take a silly amount of man hours to locate a 200 man corp, send alts to the systems to see if they even online while during the mean time they could of moved and anyone who knows high sec wars knows targets hide in the most remote locations in high sec.
I know alot of mercenary groups including marmite have become hunters nowadays and this has just killed it. |

I'm kinda pissed to know that if I go back to a small merc corp (where there are only 3-4 active hunters), I'll have to spend more time looking for the guy (if he's online or not).
Sure the target doesn't know if you're online either, but most carebears don't know about the watchlist in the first place.
Sure it helps for the LS/NS titan pilots, but it leaves smaller mercs in the dust

Heck even the so-called carebears in highsec have null backgrounds. Much has been done to drive people out of null, but for a while now people are just laying up waiting for the changes to be emplaces (supers, citadels, etc. )

If their gonna stick to the buddylist, atleast change the locator mechanic to something useful. As of tomorrow its almost as pointless as putting bounty on someone. |

More stupid ideas from the great CCraP. Who comes up with this nonsense?
I don't know the details as I'm not playing eve as much, but it sounds like some schmercs are gonna have trouble. Absolutely tantalizing and most hilarious. All "mercs" will be consigned to hub hugging and camping pipes. Wait....nothing has changed. Rofl.
