Montmazar Autocannons Anonymous	Posted - 2011.02.04 01:56:00 - [61] Edited by: Montmazar on 04/02/2011 01:57:36 Originally by: Mutnin It's a shame TBH, because it seems EVE has been taken over by people whom just want to play arcade space ships for high score. . . .says the guy who just spent several paragraphs talking about how he wants more 1 v 1 style engagements.
Damar Rocarion	Posted - 2011.02.04 05:11:00 - [62] Originally by: Mithril Ryder You made inflammatory remarks in local, some responded to that. You soon blocked (most?) everyone, and then continued to talk to people in local that could literally no longer talk back to you. I was not talking to you, I was talking to local pirate. Why in the hell I would have any interest communicate with you in any shape or form?
Wallinstar	Posted - 2011.02.04 06:39:00 - [63] Edited by: Wallinstar on 04/02/2011 06:43:52 Originally by: Mutnin Edited by: Mutnin on 03/02/2011 23:40:01 Originally by: X Gallentius What else would you want? I could think of something.. I'd like WT's that undock fly something besides Drams, go for roams looking for fights that don't require also having 20 other guys sitting on the other side of the gate prior to engaging something. I know it's a tall order but damn there is a extreme lack of soloers from the Gallente side. The very few that do run around never leave their Dramiels, Cynabals & Vagabonds. I would just love to get fights from time to time against Gallente Cruisers/BC's that didn't always end with them calling in 20+ to ***** on a KM. That's what I'd like.. I know it's a tall order and asking a lot, but perhaps you guys could live on the risky side once in a while and leave the logistics and KM whoring gangs behind. You know, actually X Gal is one of the few Gals that does fly around solo as you describe. Chatgris used to do this as well once upon a time in his rifter as well but now if you see him (in a drake)the blob is not far behind. Other than that I am in complete agreement with you. I like flying T1 ships personally (caldari frigs/cruisers especially) and since Dominion and the pirate/faction buff it is pure suicide. However I refuse to fly pirate ships/ and most faction although I do have the skills and the isk(thank god for FW lvl 4s) to do so. I still fly T1 though, although it does not turn up very well and most of the times I chose to run than provide a cheap killmail. Sometimes I will just suicide my ship just for the hell of it (as X Gal sometimes does as well o7).

Nah, his rifters usually had the blob after it as well. Once the tried to get my hookbill to engage rifter on gate. Since I know what kind of rifter he flies and he knows what kind of hookbill I fly, the rifter wont win. Now, this is hard for some people to understand but this is not boasting, it is just boring mathemetics that most of PVP is. In 1vs1, hookbill would win rifter (and most other frigs out there), simple as that. So I didnt take the fight and just jumped through the gate. Naturally there was a merlin and raven waiting on the other side to get into my killmail. Another time he engaged my caracal in rifter I sould have known better but naturally the command ships and remote reppers and three other cruisers were rapidly dropped on me. I did kill the rifter but atleast I learned that I wont ever engage a Qcat without having eyes in every surrounding system and preferably two jumps further. Have had lot of gallentes trying to bait me into aggroing in Placcid recently, up to point where there were two HAC gangs waiting to kill a single frigate should I choose to engage one of their frigates.

Sometimes I will just suicide my ship just for the hell of it (as X Gal sometimes does as well o7). I really don't want to get into individual pilots but I see him with the gank gangs much more than I see him solo. I'm sure he does solo quite a bit but when Gallente's basic tactics is to Bait then Blob, well it's not even worth trying to fight him. TBH it's pretty freaking sad that it's next to impossible to "solo" with out using an alt to scout out the next 5 systems to see if a guy is solo or baiting. Just for the hell of it I tried to go out the other day in a Claw and made it 2 jumps b4 jumping into a Insta locking Gal frig gang with 2 or 3 dual sensor boosted Thrashers, a sensor boosted ceptor with a Scimitar.. Yes Gal need a Scimitar even for a frig & dessie gang. This is the "GF's" and Risk Adverseness that FW brings low sec..
chatgris Quantum Cats Syndicate	Posted - 2011.02.04 09:47:00 - [66] Edited by: chatgris on 04/02/2011 09:57:18 The only real way to respond to these allegations that I don't solo is to link the front page of my killboard, which had my drake solo a pirate fleet consisting of a devoter, hyperion, hurricane, harbinger and vagabond (all but the devoter died). But on Wallinstar's comment - there's nothing like plexing to get people to completely ignore you, friend or foe. I used to enjoy minor plexes with my rifter, and since no-one really likes to plex I'd be alone more. Then pirate frigs kind of ruined even that part of plexing, and generally facwar comes down to roaming pvp for me now. I do attempt to fly solo or with one or two others whenever possible (and recently had fun doing that in minnie space) - but intel spreads and people find out where the action is and go there. It's both a blessing and a curse, depending on whether you are getting tarped or not. WTB - crystal ball that tells you exactly what the enemy fleet has so you can always arrange to bring an equal response. But this is eve, not an arena game. I've found that participating in good intel channels gets you more fights than just running lone wolf. And Damar - as you said, a rifter doesn't stand a chance against a competently fit hookbill or caracal, it's just the mathematics. It's not like we agreed to a 1v1, why would you think I was solo engaging with those odds? EDIT: Mutnin, if you'd like a 1v1 just ask me sometime when I'm online. Or many of the gallente roaming around - I'm sure someone would oblige. I know for a fact that SLAPD and QCATS honor arranged 1v1's (just make sure you're off of any stations/gates so someone doesn't just stumble on the fight and think they're helping), and I am pretty sure that GSTR and NME1 do as well.

It's not like we agreed to a 1v1, why would you think I was solo engaging with those odds? I don't think anyone was saying you don't solo., but rather the fact you also run around those lil Gal Bait & blob gangs so much that it's impossible to know if u are "solo" or "baiting". Meaning it's typically not worth engaging because 9 out of 10 times it will end with 10 other Gal's + 5 logistic ships jumping in behind you.

Check my previous edit for if you want a 1v1 just ask! BTW - if it's worth anything, often I don't know that I have any backup when I start fighting, and I'm quite surprised at what shows up.
Gallactica Gallente Shadows Of The Federation	Posted - 2011.02.04 10:36:00 - [69] Each to there own as far as baiting / gangs / backup etc. Personally i'm pretty crap at solo pvp, no matter how hard ive tried to become better i simply make too many mistakes tbh. During our heavier TZ presence SoTF does tend to sometimes overblob it a bit, but ofc its if we have a gang up its not you we are after and if you get caught, then tbh thats just unlucky (talking to Mutinn). On the other hand we have guys running 2-3 man fleets during most days and pretty much all day. We do roll logistics ship(s) in a lot of our fleets and tbh why not? it allows us should the need arise for us to be able to engage heavier ships and reduce our losses and some people in corp actually enjoy flying them (weird i know eh?). Solo / gangs / blobbing it doesnt really matter - each to there own.
Damar Rocarion	Posted - 2011.02.04 10:39:00 - [70] Edited by: Damar Rocarion on 04/02/2011 10:39:35 Originally by: Mutnin This is the "GF's" and Risk Adverseness that FW brings low sec.. There is no 1vs1 in FW/low-sec if we are all honesty. Most of the good "solo pvp" guys you see floating around appear so good for exactly one reason: Neutral CS or unprobable Loki boosting them in safe spot. If somebody is trying his darnest to get you fight him in equal sized ship even with empty local, then it's almost guaranteed he has blob waiting or his neutral booster in adjancent system to jump in when fight starts. And those who dont have it...just have not grinded enough isk to get themselves a booster. And agreed 1vs1's.....i'd never do those with Gallentes (i've done with some pirates) because agreeing to one would indicate you give some respect to your enemy. And that is simply unacceptable.

Moonshadoe Caldari Rape of Virtue	Posted - 2011.02.04 11:25:00 - [71] FW as a free war dec is great. For smaller corps such as ours getting good fights can be hard to get since we always seem to be lacking just 1 or 2 people for the medium size gangs we would like to fight on even slightly equal terms. It is blobby as **** when we bring even frigs up to OMS/Heyd/Nisua though. We'll typically get at least a few BCs, HACs and others come out to fight us. Then laugh and smack when we won't engage. When we look up the people smacking's killboard stats we invariably notice they have no kills with at least 10 people on the mail and probably don't really know how to pvp. But such is life. 2008 was awesome for FW. TL;DR people who smack are generally the worst pvpers. Also nice kills chatgris... that must have been a fun fight.

But such is life. Reminds me of one gallente telling me to grow some balls and go out to low-sec to look for solo-pvp/small gang action rather than to gank people in high-sec. This was on the same day my hookbill soloed two stabbers. His last "small gang/solo kill" was killing a rifter with ares, harbinger and falcon Damar Rocarion Brigadier General
Saint Evonivon	Posted - 2011.02.04 12:48:00 - [73] Edited by: Saint Evonivon on 04/02/2011 12:50:18 I like FW from it being easy to find a fight to the fact that I don't have to join a major alliance and turn eve into a job. It does have its issues, some are I feel more player made issues than design such as it seems we always have to disadvantage our selves to get fights or people just run away if its an even match. Beyond that the rest are design issues which ill list below. 1) The bunkers are fail in the sense that there is really no reason to do them. I think a cool thing to do with them is award LP when one is taken and the more enemy systems taken the lower the amount of LP gained from FW missions and militia kills of that faction. 2) I would love to see something put in place that would maybe split the large fleets up and promote smaller fleets. I wouldn't mind FC'ing a small fleet but most of the time they quickly grow to large BS and a few capitals where I don't feel comfortable FC'ing. I think others would agree with me there as well. Don't get me wrong I enjoy a big fight like that now and then, but since there is no real reason to do anything else people seem to mass into one large fleet that end up escalating to capitals, not to mentions the pirate capital fleets that come by time to time. That makes anyone new to FC'ing say "oh ill just leave it to the experienced FC" as you should in my opinion. 3) I hate how when I fly into enemy low sec it feels like I haven't even crossed the border. I would like at the very least for enemy stations not allow enemy militia members to dock, or maybe you can dock but you can't use the station services. I know many would hate that idea but it would make it more interesting I think. 4) PVE wise? I think its just typical issues, such as LP store and the amount of tags some crap takes. Also balance between the FW missions, some factions are very easy to do and others much harder.
Lugalzagezi666	Posted - 2011.02.04 15:46:00 - [74] Fw is fun, i like it. Alot of cool guys are on both amarr and minnie side /no idea about caldari-gallente/, alot of fun to have. There is solo, small gang and blob warfare too, you can do whatever you like. Even pve - fw missions are around 120m/h+ and thats not bad for lowsec id say. After you spend some weeks in fw i think its pretty obvious who never fights without pirate implants/alts/blobs behind him and who is willing to 1v1 without some "iwin button" - so its up to you what you choose... whining is pointless. Theres always some smacking in local, but most ppl do it for lols, its unlikely that much ppl take it seriously. Yes, there are "few" things in fw that could use some fix/improvement - for example whole plex/sov mechanics... but whatever. Also banning supercarriers from lowsec /by not allowing them to use fbs and losing their point immunity in 0.4-0.1/ and making warfare links only work on grid could help. And maybe some other things i cant think of atm. Originally by: Moonshadoe ... Dont ever click on links posted by this guy.
Eelis Kiy Gallente Shadows Of The Federation	Posted - 2011.02.04 15:56:00 - [75] Edited by: Eelis Kiy on 04/02/2011 15:56:10 Not as fun as it once was, but great if you have good comrades to fly with. Essentially a big fat free war-dec which doesnÆt come with the commitment of sec-loss or 0.0 politics. These days I find myself inclined to see FW as just another of CCP's much anticipated "all new best thing ever expansions" that gets a lot of hype and is then abandoned whilst they move on to the next new shiny thing. It's not as good for new people as it once was. And thatÆs a bloody shame tbh. Reasons are many, some due to CCP's lack of foresight, others due to how things have evolved naturally. Although it's prolly all Damars fault tbh

Lord Ryan Warriors of Faith	Posted - 2011.02.04 16:18:00 - [77] Tryed a few things in Eve and FW is where it's at. Yeah some days/months blow. Your odds of getting a 1v1 or 1v6 are alot better than anywhere else. Less of the nuetral repper nonsence. Rarely see the 0.0 4 million ship blobs. You can basically ignore whatever drama politics. Hubs are only a few jumps away for resuppling. It should and is sometimes a place to get some carefree PVP, of course some people are leet and get carried away with all the ecm/logi blobs. Go mission in high sec, come back in a month they'll usually move on.

Damar Rocarion Brigadier General Don't have nuetral CS/Loki or blob on the other side of the gate. Solo more often than not and have the +400 loses to prove it. If you see me on killmail with 15 other people, either I ***d their or they ***d my killmail. Solo/small fights are lot more common on the amarr/minnie front.
Greg6 Shadows Of The Federation	Posted - 2011.02.04 18:48:00 - [79] Originally by: Mutnin ... I would just love to get fights from time to time against Gallente Cruisers/BC's that didn't always end with them calling in 20+ to ***** on a KM. That's what I'd like.. I know it's a tall order and asking a lot, ... Actually it's not a tall order at all. Come to either Heyd or Nis and ask for an arranged fight Pretty much all of the corps that live in both places can be trusted to honor such engagements, and you won't find it hard at all to find one, if you ask for it. But if you just go wandering? You find what you find, and expecting those bored 19 guys to stay one system over when they have a chance to gank someone is just silly. Finding solo, small scale, and even fleet composition PVP isn't hard at all. It's just that most folk don't really want it, and thus they don't ask for it. And in terms of the OP, FW is great. Free war dec on lots of targets, low stress PVP because there are no sov concerns, and some of the best isk/hour in the game. Plexing is too broken for me to participate, although I used to plex constantly, but otherwise FW is much fun. Highly recommended even though CCP ignores it just about completely.

(throws up on his shoes) Damn it... anyway, we've been hearing from Mutnin alot about not blobbing, 1v1, gallente km ****s...blah blah....whaaa! So if you were really interested in these types of fights this http://gallente.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=8729523 would not happen? Am I right? OFC I am.. because after you did that you warped off to hide in a station and avoid the "blob" you are just so sure was coming, right? We all do the same things at different times. Now, that being said, your km record indicates that you do engage in a lot of solo combat. Congrats, I am a fleet kind of guy. I really have no desire to run around looking for a solo fights, maybe when i'm a bit more grown up. You will see, I fly Raptors mostly, because I am pretty good at being a 'ceptor pilot and the Raptor is a fleet* tackle ship. My skills, therefore, are geared towards being "fleet support" EDIT: This just in. I went back and looked at Mr. Mutnin's recent losses. It is important to notice that Mr. Mutnin doesn't lose ships very often...and also that he doesn't often lose them to the ZOMG20MANBLOB!111!!!! that he claims always ganks him. http://gallente.eve-kill.net/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=411745&view=losses

TBH, maybe we should share a intel channel.. I know u guys like small gang stuff as well. We typically just do our own thing, but it's come to the point that the game is getting very boring due to not being able to engage 90% of the targets that I find due to not wanting to blob the hell out of them with general Miltia numbers, but yet not having people around whom are willing to do risky fights with out a blob.

Damar Rocarion Brigadier General Typically when I go out solo I'm not necessarily looking for for 1v1's or equal ship fights or agreed on 1v1s. That to me is boring. I just get tired of most engagements always ending up against un-winnable gank. What I'm after is challenging fights that I can push my own limits in, to help make myself a better PVPer. I know this is odd but I prefer to be right at the edge of a fight going either way. I just wish that FW was the place that would let me do that. It's sad that it's not and TBH the only reason I even stay in FW is because it's the best way for a low sec dweller like myself to make ISK and it's not like the rest of low sec is any different much less null sec which is even worse. This make FW the lesser of the evils. I would love to see FW and low sec for that matter turned around and have som,e reason with-in the game mechanics to get people out of these blobs, but sadly I just don't see it happening. I think it's simply become a matter of blobs = more players which = more subscriptions and that's what makes CCP happy. It doesn't matter if it's null sec or low, the the more blobs around, means the more people whom are playing, regardless if the actual game-play environment has degraded from what many of us would like to see.

Me and my corp-mate whom is a RL friend were a bit irritated because the night before we wanted to go out roaming but a bunch of Gaylante's thought it was a good idea to sit on our station half the night camping the undock. Because of this we decided to *** it up and build two insta locking Canes to try and pop some pods to get a little revenge. The idea was maybe give them a taste of their own medicine and that's exactly what we did being the fact it was a SOTF guy I felt it was mission accomplished. Yet you have to be fair and if looking at my KM history it's not like you see those kinds of kills other than a random target of opportunity. I think it's pretty easy to look at my typical KM's/engagements plus losses to see the types of fights I engage in so don't try to drum up a story of 1 KM. As for my losses, well I can't help that I do often escape the blobs. I'm not always so lucky but typically I have to avoid far more fights than what you will ever see on a kill board because I've already scouted out the gank gang and know what's waiting. Not to mention there are countless engagements that lead to no kill-mails due to me either escaping or the target getting away. I don't think I'm anywhere near any of the top guys in this game as I do make stupid mistakes far to often but one thing I've always been good at is knowing when to GTFO and having often, set myself up with the ability to GTFO.. Sadly it doesn't always work out. (I am however still LOLing about me jumping into a gang of 20 Gallentes on the Abune/Hey gate a week or two back, in a 1600 plate/triple tri mark Vexor and getting away. ) Also you have to keep in mind.. When I'm talking blobs, I'm taking with the mind set of a soloer/small gang which doesn't mean 30-50 man gang. It simply means over powering force in which there is no way to fight back due to the numbers at hand. If I'm solo and get ganked by 5 or 6 BC's with logistics, that to me is getting blobbed because there is no real way to fight back. However more often than not I just have to avoid fights because of blobs which is what gets irritating.

Bad Messenger draketrain	Posted - 2011.02.06 15:08:00 - [85] Faction Warfare is Broken. - For a player like me who have lot of time to use for playing EVE it has nothing to offer anymore. System capturing is 'balanced' so much that it is quite much out of balance. If you want to capture example gallente system it takes about 1-4 weeks if enemy is doing absolutely nothing to prevent it and it can take months if they do. After you have captured that system game mechanic makes it possible to capture it back in 8 hours. So what this actually mean is that there is no point to take any systems because you can not keep them in anyway and it is easier to just take those back after t capturing than defend those = NO REASON TO PVP IN PLEXES. - because plexes limit ship types that can enter it has made those pirate faction ships quite much only ships that are worth to fly in smalles gangs because those are just so ower power if used right way. Pirate faction ships are not for newer poor players becaus those cost quite much. So actually FW is no more place for new player to learn pvp easily, because of ships size limitations it is harder than elsewhere. I think these two things makes FW really unplayable at this moment. + I know that people are happy with faction warfare LP store and mission and want to grind easy isk out of those + it is free wardec and lot of people like to gank noobs that join to fw thinking that it is some kind of continuum for epid arc or career mission what ever that was. Basically FW is full of noobs who are ganked by little better players but almost all PRO players have left militia for a long time ago so these new players are not going to learn anything positive in FW. So all those who have stuck in FW ( like me ) are there only for easy ganks because FW is so small arena that older members of it knows who to fight agains or not, preventing PVP not to happen. Sad thing is that FW is broken together with facts that incursion broke lot of normal game play things causes that personally i have been doing something else for a while. Hopefully ccp fixes game soon to point where little things that does not work stop causing headache.

The day eve causes me even a slight fraction of the ill feelings that you demonstrate is the day I stop playing this game and go elsewhere. Seeing you were happy enough to let your fleet spam Intaki local with bull**, i'd say you are already there. You were not even willing to curb your fleets emoraging when requested so by FG. (which is why he was happy to give me greenlight to go after your stragglers if I wanted to) And naturally your corp went and spammed forums with threads about me allying with Gallentes and all. Damar Rocarion Brigadier General Oh look, Damar proving to be an emoraging **** yet again. How surprising. Yeah I am a pirate. What are you gonna do about it?

X Gallentius Quantum Cats Syndicate	Posted - 2011.02.06 20:22:00 - [88] I'm curious, what loopholes in game mechanics did Incursion fill?
Hirana Yoshida Behavioral Affront	Posted - 2011.02.06 20:51:00 - [89] Originally by: X Gallentius I'm curious, what loopholes in game mechanics did Incursion fill? Other than Sansha gate camps in affected areas there has been nothing done as far as I have seen. That said, those Nation fellas are pretty bad-ass at the camping game, they catch bombers and cloaky recons quite frequently and make a mess of things for macros :D They are like belt/gate-camping bots. Perhaps CCP's answer to player bots, who knows!
Damar Rocarion	Posted - 2011.02.06 21:19:00 - [90] Originally by: Mutnin I would love to see FW and low sec for that matter turned around and have som,e reason with-in the game mechanics to get people out of these blobs, but sadly I just don't see it happening. Of course it wont happen and there is no reason to fight over anything in low-sec either or to be a solo pilot. It's why Draketrain is in FW only for the mission yewgold because when they put up a fleet, Gallentes will stay docked because there is no reason for them to come fight. Going to 0.0 and ****caging a station with bubbles is better because it forces people to fight. Likewise i'll dock up when someone screams about a plex i'm taking and gallentes send 25 guys after me like happened this morning, though usually i'll ninja-kill one or two dudes before that. Sure, you could go bash some POS with your blob but what's the point? They cost practically nothing and if you want to deny your opponent a strategical asset, you have to plant your own afterwards and to every other vacant moon in system as well. And more likely both sides call up some bored 0.0 entities to hotdrop everyone and their mother with supercapitals. So there you have it. From FW you can get two things: Silly amount of isk and unfair ganks. There are no good fights here, like there are no good fights anywhere in Eve. Only thing which seperates it from 0.0 is that if you dont have the biggest blob around right now, it has no negative consequences as long as you dock up. Damar Rocarion Brigadier General
