Originally by: Lowa Tabs are good as well as (no) brackets but the EW thing is "WTF you want that for?!" And isnt there already notification on who's doing what today? At least for the EW stuff. Wanting to know who is scrambling you could be great but imo its just another step towards making EVE run in easy-mode.
Its gonna be two things anyway, in PvP that is, you either have a few ships against you, you are somewhat lucky and are in a strong ship hence it wont matter who's scrambling you, just kill everyone and your home free!
The other way would be that you are still in your strong ship but the 23 other guys around you are also in strong ships and they all have scramblers. Its not going to require Rocket Science Level 5 to figure out that you are screwed! Much less a scanner taunting you about it.
Anyway, its *******s for several reasons more than just being another way to make the game run in easy-mode (I do howewer think that it would be sort of ok if it ONLY showed what NPC's were doing).
Second; more icons? Like the overview isnt bugged, slow and lagging as it is? Third; more icons, more calculations, more lag. (Yes, two and three are almost the same but need emphasizing! )
Ok, it can be turned off but you can bet your ass some punk ***** is gonna have it turned on and make a sunday roast out of your Scorp/falcon/rook/other ew ship even faster than is happening right now. And tbh, that would mean I will explode as soon as I undock, 23 jumps from the fight that so far havent even been thought of yet.
The EW needs a big boost though, but that aint gonna happen coz OMG what if the EW ships actually was good at what they are supposed to do!? That would be...correct. And we cant have that now can we?
/Lowa - Sorry, was feeling ranty. Im right though.
how again is it that easy mode is that you have to rely on your own ability to act on the situation instead of guessing and just hoping that the random will be at your favor?! it is actually hard mode now, since every one can see it, so now they know that your the one jamming /scrambling etc, and they know exactly how any have a scram jammer ew, and they have to react accordingly doing the right thing to get the best out of the situation.
it actually makes it "easier" for the GOOD players which have been blessed with a brain and harder for the morons that have no idea of how to act tactically.
the fact that some things are hidden and you call that hard mode is laughable, it have nothing to do with hard mode contrary it is easy mode since you don't really have to think and every one is around the same lvl because no one have anything to really react priciest against and on.
if you want a game which say "hard mode= random" then eve is not the right thing for you... eve is about tactic and being clever, much more then anything else.
but it's sad that even when they finally improves something that should have been there from game start, there will still be people whining about it, it just shows that no matter what the whining-online is always there.. I declare war on stupidity |
