I don't think that is much time to move 2 years worth of fit ships boosters and mods that I had planted. Moreover, I don't think we ever got an answer on whether they would reset sov. (I could be wrong on this though)

Yes you did I specifacclly asked about it in the patch thread by CCP and was answered by CCP. I then posted another thread here saying no sov reset.

This is simply delicious.

*WORKING AS INTENDED*

What part of "No Surrender, No Retreat!" did you not understand?

Take your defeatist attitude somewhere else please.

If we are to prevail, then we should believe it, instead of giving up.
This last week before patch has shown that the Amarr are more than capable of fighting back, despite being horrendously outnumbered. And while you were busy running to the hills with your stuffz I was out there fighting for my home and that of my allies.

I can only hope you find the will to do the same.

- Capitol One

Because your opinion was wrong and CCP was right. Its that simple.

.....then why are you here complaining?

The current system might not be the absolute ideal, but it is a) certainly a lot better than it used to be and b) the station lock out might be inconvenient for some people, but it doesn't break the faction warfare system.

I guess I just don't take the game as seriously as you do. I am not really the "rah rah" type.

We were pretty seriously outmanned in the system we were basing out of, and I don't really play that often to make much of a difference. Real life and that stuff that keeps me from going to sov null, or playing eve that way. I don't think any amount of positive thinking would have changed that.

Stuff

Stuff

From EVE-Kill.net it's quite obvious I have no actively played EVE in over a year.

...To each their own, you just seemed to me like you cared a great deal, with how much you lamented over our "defeat and imminent destruction/eviction". Also, I'd like to think it was our [Amarr] beliefs and spirit that made us prevail where others would've fallen :)...

Troll

The right attitude.



The wrong attitude.

Funny how that coincides with T3 alts maturing thus completely breaking the game for all pew enthusiasts who don't meta-game or alt spam. Been playing, just stayed away from the neutral boosted blobbo-rama that FW turned into.
Also coincides with all the high and mighty promises of :awesome: improvements for FW to be included in Incursions only to be axed when CCP realised it would actually require work.

Players like Veshta did absolutely nothing to fight for their side on the run up to Inferno and spent the entire time prepping for evac while posting complaints on the forum is the brutal reality.

And even now I think the single biggest problem facing the Amarr is too much negativity and not enough "can do" as demonstrated effectively by those of their comrades who did actually fight last week

The Faction Warfare "as was" mythologised by Veshta was about pointing lone war targets in defensive plexes with navy slicers and letting the npcs do much of the kill...

You sound like you don't enjoy EVE. Why bother playing?

Pretty much :this:

I've seen in the last couple of weeks that the Amarrian Faction is quite capable of putting up one hellova fight when it needs to but it suffers from a lot of vocal naysaying and defeatist claptrap. I can only imagine how annoying it would be to try to organize in that environment and be told by one's allies "it can't be done", "its impossible" "no chance!" all the time.
.

Because I keep hoping beyond all reasonable hope that CCP will wake the **** up and actually look at and think about what they doing instead of ticking boxes in the database after consulting nothing but metrics.
Can you imagine the ****-storm that would arise if they pulled something like Inferno on the NPC null regions .. no docking based on standings/sovereignty with one party being able to achieve said standings/sovereignty 3-4 times easier than everyone else? .. yeah, that would go down smooth like

FYI, logged in this afternoon... picked up ship in Nenna. Straight away Fight No. 1:
5 Thoraxes in Medium Plex

Then we started moving to Tama . Low and behold, a nano-Zealot wanted to engage on gate in Hikk (under protection of gate guns). (He had a Gila and another buddy who chickened out)

Well, we might as well keep going. A Loki wanted the same sort of protection in Kedama on the Hirri gate:
Loki+Purifier, plus there was another fight we weren't involved in.

After losing drones to gate guns I dock up in Nisuwa and added to the wealth of the excellent fellow in SoTF who sells drones on market, and then head back to Nenna and our boys point a Drake.

We move to Aivonen to run some guys out of a plex, but there's another Drake.

Nonstop action all within an hour. Greatest expansion ever!

Congrats wolfs brigade for letting raa flip.
I know no matter what's said about it you guys will claim it as a win.
Just like wen we took all them systems pre patch u guys somehow won.

I told you guys to drop the Logi and I'd get together a group of BCs to brawl mode. If you wanted a fight in late night USTZ like that you wouldn't have had brought all dem Guardians.

According to the Amarr Killboards:

Veshta is the top killer of the player corp with the 3rd highest number of kills in amarr faction war. 2772 faction war kills.

Muad 'dib is the Ceo of the player corp with the 2nd highest number of total kills in amarr history and has 2189 individual faction war kills recorded with that corp.

People who are upset with certain of these changes know the faction war mechanics.

Confirming two Guardians is "all dem Guardians". Confirming open militia fleet with half the #s being newbs in crap-Thrashers is very "frightening".

::shrug::

We had 15 in fleet and you had over that just in BCs. Again, without Logis I would have suicided a fleet into you. But you got to shoot a structure while I spun my ship sooooooo faaaaaast.

4 years as opposed to your 4 months .. that is why my opinion matters more than yours .. nublet.

The only thing I am saying, ie. repeating ad nauseum, is that FW balance is broken and has been for as long as I remember .. it should have been so high up on the list that crap like incentives/consequences were but dots on the horizon.

Until the fundamentals are addressed there can be no push-back at all .. it is quite literally not theoretically possible .. Amarr would need 3-4x the Mime numbers to offensive plex with no repair/dock available.
We are talking plus 3-400 actives across times-zones to be able to deal with logistics, NPCs, Mimes, Neutrals et. al. at the same time .. and no, a swarm noobs will not make much of a difference against what will likely be 100% faction fitted faction hulls flown by multi-year veterans.

So if you want that mythological push-back you speak of, then go convince a medium sized null alliance to join up to a side where ISK is scarce, you have to fight with no immediate support available (docking) and enemy has equal numbers and devastatingly broken NPCs on their side.
