50% forward and 50% maintenance is all fine and dandy. I can see why you do that. You do have to keep coming out with new things to keep us all interested.
I would like you to consider spending a couple weeks or a month in 100% bug squashing mode. Make it a contest with your developers to see who can squash the most bugs in that time and hand out prizes (and $$$ bonuses). Might be fun for you guys, a nice change of pace and some friendly competition.

Good stuff, but one big question about Supercapital rebalancing: I think it's a given that motherships will be buffed, and titans nerfed. Can we have general lines about how you want to do it?

One more thing about the LP rewards for player kills:
I hope you (CCP) seriously consider implementing a system which gives less and less LPS the more people are on the killmail. In a way this would help with the lag issues as well as greedy people wouldn't fly in blobs as much.
Players often cite that solo is dead and for many older players solo and small gang combat is their "endgame"... This would be a lovely much needed boost for those players.
Say, maximum LP would only be attainable with solo/ very small gang kills and with 15-20 or more pilots on the killmail the LP would diminish to near zilch. How about that?
Also ofc alt farming measures need to be taken but I'm sure they can figure out a working system for that while still retaining the LP meaningful for its intended use. --- WOLFY is recruiting!

Originally by: Nyphur The only problem is with people who bought the rigs for the full price before the patch and will be annoyed that they could have waited and bought a cheaper version after the patch that would do the same job. After this news announcement with over a month of warning, I think anyone buying an expensive rig for a small ship knows full well what they're getting in for.
But it is a serious problem. This effectively stoles my isk, since the ship is worth its price plus the rigs, and rigs are all of a sudden getting halved or even quartered in price (or whatever).
That's a total crap.
You can recall the snakes, but even snakes nerf wasn't that bad since they didn't released any cheap counterparts, so that's a bad example. ---

While this "extra" expansion is good news with its focus on expanding Factional Warfare and finally introducing epic missions for real I do not like at all that WiS is being pushed for changes to the sovereignty system.
Sure it might be "broken" but the feature is still there unlike the wealth of immersing enhancing features WiS could provide. Secondly, it is still only a tiny minority of EVE players that dabbles with sovereignty though vocal they might be. And lastly, no matter what new system is proposed you can be sure these people will whine and complain and state that the previous system was better.
So t0rfi: you do not have any bad conscious at all about using WiS as a "carrot on a stick" for another year or so? ---------------- Mr. Science & Trade Institute

I seriously hope you are scaling LP rewards with the ISK value of the destroyed ship when bought on the open market.
Let people get a share of the LP dependent on how percentage of the damage they dealt and do not reward people extra LP for teaming up on a single target.

I'm perfectly happy to wait for WiS in favour of fixing existing systems and polishing it up, as long as a) It gets released eventually and b) they do a good job of it. As I understand it, Sovereignty reworks were planned for a while, and have, to be honest, needed for even longer.

Well yeah, I think CCP isnt on a hurry with WiS because all Space Opera MMOs release this year like Jumgate Evolution or Black Prophecy arnt releasing something like that yet so... I pretty sure they'll keep it for a customer drop sometimes in the next decades sadly :p

Like I said, pretty much... Tho it shouldn't be per damage dealt. Very often tacklers, ewar and KMwhoring logistics (assigned drones) are even more important than the grunt DPS boats. (Even tho I love flying gankfits and being the top damage dealer myself... :P ) --- WOLFY is recruiting!

Not impressed with the FW LP reward system the way it is described in this blog.
Rewarding people for capturing will lead to people zerging undefending locations for easy rewards and avoiding defended positions. Don't believe me? Go and look at the other MMO's who have similar "reward you for capturing this area" mechanics, WAR is a prime example.
Maybe I'm reading wrong or CCP have some ace up there sleeve regarding this...
(LP for kills is all well and good, people will still blob up in the same old area's though it may promote more engagements. Having solo kills give lots of LP and kills with 20 people on the mail give next to no LP would also be very sweet ;))

Not necesarly ! If you die you can loose LP (even go on negative scale if you have to ;) ). LP is based on ship class and voila ... You kill your alt (in a BS) in a hostile militia you gain LP's, your alt looses a lot of LP's, do that cople of times and that alt will never have a positive amount of LP's. Of course you can trash it but after that train another x months till it gets to bs kinda sucks ... there are a lot of wais to prevent exploiting ...

"Things have been silent on the dev front since the release of Apocrypha this March. Apocrypha was a major success for EVE Online. We rose to new heights in terms of concurrent players and subscribers, and more importantly, we are very proud of the new features and functionality it provided."
Yes, it sure got released and with the patches released after that, it turned out to be a disfunctional expansion. But, i love the fact that NPC ships finally show the right amount of guns, which has been a major upset for me, not the numerous issues there is with probing. So, i guess it's a thank you for that.

Oki....
So anything about how big this fuel bayes are going to be. What are you basing size on, how many ships should 1 black ops BS be able to support (atm its like 5 recons).
Will fuel bayes be acciseble by corp right or gang rights like carrier "corp hangar bay" is at the moment.
Will the fuel bay also apply to ships that atm have huege cargoholds on account of bieng ships that need a lot of fuel to fufill there intended role like lets say the Titan Class ship.
What is considered fuel - before hand with carriers jumping assembled ships you could not leave other stuff then ammo in the cargohold which ment you had to make room for fuel in the carrier. Will this change with the fuel bay, can it be loaded when jumped with a carrier. Can you carry spare fuel for other races or is it limited to your own racial fuel.
That should be enough for now...

Originally by: TZeer Fuel bays on the black ops sound cool and all that, but is it possible to get a response from CCP regarding their sudden DECREASE in scan resolution on the black ops that appeared not to long ago. You just boosted the scan strength in the black ops boost. Whats the reason for the sudden decrease? Have not been mentioned in any devblogs, patch notes or forums.
Have you bug reported it?

I really hope that they've found an elegant way to stop LP-for-kills from being abusable. Just flicking through some comments others have made:
Originally by: Rennion Rewarding people for capturing will lead to people zerging undefending locations for easy rewards and avoiding defended positions. Don't believe me? Go and look at the other MMO's who have similar "reward you for capturing this area" mechanics, WAR is a prime example.
Surely an efficient militia would be hunting out the undefended weak points anyway? As for "easy rewards", that depends entirely on how rewarding it is for the time taken (capturing is not an instant process). We already have professions that give you rewards for a certain amount of time spent, the base reward on capturing points could be balanced against this. The additional reward for taking on a well-defended point is the LPs available for killing the opposition.
Originally by: Myyona I seriously hope you are scaling LP rewards with the ISK value of the destroyed ship when bought on the open market.
By what determing of the "market price"? The average price the market generates automatically is wide open to manipulation. This already occurs at a low level, but if it became directly linked to better LP rewards, it would become widespread and make the market data pretty much useless. It's the same reason insurance can't be based on market price.
Also, what about items that cannot be sold on the market? Trying to composite a "fair" price automatically from contracts would be even more flawed.
I agree that rewards need to be scaled at least by ship type, but trying to go to market price just wouldn't work.
Originally by: Raimo I hope you (CCP) seriously consider implementing a system which gives less and less LPS the more people are on the killmail. In a way this would help with the lag issues as well as greedy people wouldn't fly in blobs as much.
I suspect this will work in a similar way to the sharing of LP's for gang-completed missions at the moment. i.e. there is a total amount of LP granted for the kill, which is then shared over all involved players. So if you're in a gang of 50, your gang needs to get 50 kills before you individually make as many LP as one solo kill.
Originally by: Myyona Let people get a share of the LP dependent on how percentage of the damage they dealt and do not reward people extra LP for teaming up on a single target.
Hardly fair reward for specialised tacklers, ewar etc, who probably won't have done much damage, but without whom you may not have got the kill in the first place.
Originally by: Sahara Eternity If you die you can loose LP (even go on negative scale if you have to ;) ). LP is based on ship class and voila ... You kill your alt (in a BS) in a hostile militia you gain LP's, your alt looses a lot of LP's, do that cople of times and that alt will never have a positive amount of LP's. Of course you can trash it but after that train another x months till it gets to bs kinda sucks ... there are a lot of wais to prevent exploiting ...
But the alt never needs to have accumulated any LP in the first place, because it is not the character you are collecting the LP rewards with. It's only reason to exist is to be killed repeatedly, so you wouldn't care how negative it's LP went. And you certainly can't prevent it being killed because it's LP's got too low! ------- There is no magic Wand of Fixing, and it is not powered by forum whines. |

I've bolded the eroneous part. The ship COST you the value of the ship and rigs but that's not what it's worth because there is no way for you to get that value back. As rigs can't be removed, they're only worth the bonus to your ship. They have no resaleability and thus no resale value. As long as that bonus doesn't change, your ship will be functionally identical in every way, shape and form before and after the change.
You have a month to lose your expensive ship in PvP or sell it to someone who will. That should be plenty of time to solve the issue if you're really bothered about the isk you spent on those rigs. Or is it that you just want CCP to magically fix it so you can keep using your overpriced ship and then sell the rigs when the patch hits? You can't have your cake and eat it too.

This made me cry, how can you be proud at such a bugfest? I'm sorry to say but you guys seem to have really good ideas but seem to fail at making things work as intended. I'd rather see NO new content at ALL till CCP manages to fix the majority of all bugs, not just the game breaking ones but the 'just a bit annoying ones' too.

Edited by: Matthew on 01/07/2009 12:14:32 There is only one way to avoid LP-for-kills being farmed (Edit: that I can think of, anyway), and that is to make sure the reward is worth less than the ship being blown up.
Essentially, it becomes another price floor imposed on the market, in a similar way to how insurance currently influences the market. The difference is that the level of this price floor is dynamic, depending on how many LP are being generated, and how desirable the FW LP store items are.
Worst-case outturn for this leads to massive demand for ships to be blown-up in LP-fraud, pushing up mineral prices across the board, and triggering an influx of isk through insurance.
For the cynical amoung you, it does have an interesting effect on the level of FW participation, essentially setting a minimum activity level. If LPs are being generated below this minimum level, it becomes profitable to blow up your alt for LPs, and people will do this until the number of LPs being generated returns to it's minimum level. This keeps the militia membership and kill counters ticking over nicely, and makes FW look more popular. The only way I can see to avoid this effect is to make it so that the items in the FW LP store are only useful if you are participating in FW (and thus demand falls as the number of people genuinely partaking of FW falls, and therefore the minimum activity level falls as well). ------- There is no magic Wand of Fixing, and it is not powered by forum whines. |
