Welcome to all subcaps and carriers/dreads lives over the last year. I will laugh real hard when pl deploys 250 carriers with sentrys , then you will say the carriers are overpowered
I see you have no idea why large groups of titans have been in need of rebalancing
Speaking of PL, I think it's a safe bet that they will remain as strong as ever, because they aren't dumb enough to rely on one broken doctrine as their only means of achieving anything in EVE (unlike the assorted members of a failcascading alliance who whine here with their NPC alts)
To those wailing that titans are the only way to counter "the blob": try bombers? Too plebeian? |

Two points to this: a) Numbers don't matter in the sense that a small fleet can beat a larger one with closer margins. 250 beating 400 with good skill, use of tactics and coordination is realistic (see: forces of Elite PVP versus old NC). However no one yet has come up with a good reason why absolutely crazy excessive numbers shouldn't win single fights. 1600 versus 200 absolutely should be winning - EVE doesn't cater to that degree of superior skill or resources. The counter that sort of force is not done via ships, but by politics, timezones and an eventual review of the underlying game mechanics that cause fights to happen.
Keeping in mind that those 1600 don't exist, and have never existed. This is just some magical number these neutral alts keep throwing around like it's fact. A 'large' fight currently would be 500+ vs 500+. A major fight with everybody and their brother coming never breaks 1600... IN ALL. This idea that numbers win everything, and people are being dishonoureably blobbed out of their space is nothing more than a made up lie to try to distract from the fact that Titans are not some desperate last stand for honoureable people wanting to avoid losing their space to a blob. Titans are an i-win button for people who brought equal numbers and lost the real fight already. Or who don't want to bother forming up to defend their space, so they just drop 50 titans on a pos and laugh as nobody can attack it.
biggest fight we had up here we had what 37 titans, so your 50 is just as bad as their 1600, more realistic would be just above or below 20. And might I add I cant remember we dropped Titans alone, without support there or very close. |

Crystal Wolf wrote: This is true however CCP in response to one of my earlier posts said that almost anything that reduces titan numbers and titan blobbing is considered a desirable outcome.
and thats a pretty dangerous way of thinking, looking at how many people own titans nowadays - you cannot just take them away or make them "useless" without reimbursting owners in some sort of acceptable way
and you cant do a short-term-"solution" like the one here proposed either, because it does not solve the problem.
the right way to go about this, would be finding the root of the problem, and find a way to modify the current state to a level where players can solve that root-problem themselves by giving them the right tools.

You dropped 37 ships without support and none of them died?

What fantasy world do you live in every time you fire is bullshit. the group will kill at least one every time they fire just like your maelstroms do, difference is ?
Your FC's sacrifice you to titan. Titans can not dictate range or hold you on a field. Only place they are good are on, wait for it, structures that need taken down or defended...
It is not unkillable you killed one in 92D and could have gotten more if you had not run away with all caps after. |

You don't like being outnumbered ? Not sure but think they where coming in subs mainly, never heard about them making it half way. (where on contract)

So you can't disengage now, chances are you might lose what half of what it cost in fuel to jump the titans in there, but in most cases, goons have total control of field "numbers" when we jump in. Cause we kinda like fighting without titans if it is a good fight.. you might have noticed this if you where looking.

I see the concern of those who complain about titans being "anti-blob" weapons but the problem you have is that of course CCP will favour the larger group in the long run. Whether through subs or through the proxy of plexes, every player pays them money to play. You're asking them to provide tools with which less subscribers can make more subscribers unhappy.
Goons go out there and actively sell the game of Eve Online to their friends on the SA boards. We are CCP's willing and adoring shills. Since my last recruitment post went up on the SA forums we have gone from 2,500 to 3,500 Goonwaffe members, with old people returning as we tell them how the game is on the right path, and new ones being drawn in by the enthusiastic commentary of people posting in the thread in the downtimes between bouts of pointing and laughing at Ordo Garr. That's already the equivalent of 1/3 of all titan pilots cancelling their subs and walking away by itself. Allowing for churn, it's probably just over a hundred grand a year from extra subs (of which I see exactly zip :D)
According to Turbefield's stats a far smaller 10% increase across the CFC alone would replace the subscriptions of every titan pilot, both subbed and unsubbed, should they walk away and unsub forever. According to the figures cited by Jogyn then that same 10% increase across the CFC would pay for the cancelled subs of every single member of PL and NCdot put together. Woops!
The days when Eve was a hobby or a social experiment of its devs, or that they would change the game consciously to favour their playstyle or that of their friends, are gone. They want the person with 3 million skillpoints to be able to be hooked on the nullsec Great Game that keeps people playing for years, to get dragged into the storyline. And they know that that is virtually impossible when those players discover that their ship matters zilch as soon as 40 titans cyno in with a bunch of supercarriers to rep them.
PL, NcDot and a few others don't want newbies, and that's cool. But it means you're not speaking to those two-week-old new players and you're not exposed to the Naked Lunch moment when they work out that they can do everything right, orbit the primary at the right range, stay out of smartbomb range on the primary, watch for yellow-boxing, broadcast for reps as soon as a lock is applied, and yet still absolutely inevitably die as soon as one single person just presses one button.
But we do talk to those people and we bring in a tidal flood of them to enliven the game and provide content and fund the development of new features and CCP are finally working out that if four or five hundred dudes, most of whom will in any case be burned out within 15 months, want to bleat about large "blobs" of paying customers having more fun than them then it's still going to be sayonara titans in the long run. |
