Species 8472	Posted - 2005.01.27 09:04:00 - [1] Now i never complain or whine but Fountain Alliance have really upset me :) A member of colusp whom has been playing for 1 year 8 months logged off as he warped to us from another gate. He dissapeared we jumped to other gate waited for him to log back on he finally logged back on. As we jumped in he logged off again and never appeared at the postion where he should of .????? Why are these cowards useing exploits should i name this char wtf ????? "The Weak Will Perish".
DB Preacher	Posted - 2005.01.27 09:17:00 - [2] According to the GM's, that's not an exploit. They can't tell the difference from people logging off from peole CTD'ing so they don't bother. You'll get used to it but it never gets any less annoying. You should come up north and see the crap you get up north... dbp Current RKK Ranking: (CAL4) Soldier Drop by and say hi in Reikoku Forums.
scorchio	Posted - 2005.01.27 09:40:00 - [3] blimey.. dont think i have ever heard species complain on the forums b4. but he does have a point. we were fighting spacecrawler from 4s and he did exactly the same thing. he logged when we had him and our ceptors couldnt finish him off in time, so we waited in the next system on the gate and when he logged back in, we jumped through and finished him off. while we were doing that he logged again. i wish something could be done about this problem, but im not gonna hold my breath.

They then log back on, and try to gank any stragellers; i can't remember the last time i saw a proper fleet fight out of a certain alliance - you know who you are!
DoctorDanny	Posted - 2005.01.27 11:20:00 - [5] Log-out tactics are annoying the crap out of everyone as can be witnessed by the many threads about them. Somehow though the devs are avoiding these threads like the plague. I wonder why really.

Ordo Abchao	Posted - 2005.01.27 12:10:00 - [9] Well, if the guy is dumb enough to log out/back in quickly, you can send frigates to the nearby gates/scan planets for him, because he will be at a celestial object unless it's a very long warp (1800 au's would make him disapear before he hit the celestial object for example). But logging to save your ship is, to say the least, a plague, have it happen at least 3 times a day for myself. Mind you it is extremely rare that they survive. Order out of Chaos

Yeah, because CCP are really going to allocate the time and staff to check all that And what about if the player loses ISP access or her computer crashes? Both will log as being called by user. And even if you are right, and CCP do what you say, it doesn't count individuals who face death and log, as only group logons will be checked. ------------ We come in peace. And tanks.

If _a_ player loses conn then it wouldnt be looked at because its only _one_ player, and the likelitude of an entire group of peeps being on the same isp - which goes down - just before they ctd isnt exactly likely is it? ---------------- sniping snipers My Mega Modal Pulse love nuggets hit 'your mum'[heh] on the chin doing 0.4 damage
Inigo Firebird	Posted - 2005.01.27 17:23:00 - [16] When engaged in a PvP action with any none Npc controlled ship log out time should be extended example 2 mins. If yor unlucky enough to loose your connect then tough, you should have put yourself in that kind of situation and so suffer the consequences If engaged with Npc should log out as it is as more likely to be a connection fault.

Boohoohooo. No comparison. I'm not a PvP'er by choice. All my battles are -forced- on me and I fight out of necessity. If my opponents are going to go out of their -way- to make me fight, they'd at least do me the courtesy of playing the bloody game intelligently rather than resorting to reneging on the bet that they can take me through RL non-game mechanics. Mining ops getting wiped by PvP'ers are only going to get wiped by making critically bad choices (no scouts, no safespots, no guards, not watching local, not sticking to safe areas to mine, not doing any of a -thousand- different things to improve their chances.). To be a peaceful person in this game, you have to play -paranoid- or stick to the safe areas of Empire. If you're warred upon unfairly, there are options as well. You cannot play this game half asleep ... unless you're lazy enough to go to the route of cheating by wimping out when you get jumped and logging once combat's engaged.

Rift and I agree... the apocalypse is upon us! I started a thread a few days back to try and get EVERYONE who had a problem with this tactic united in one place. There have been a lot of different threads where 10-20 people post but CCP won't pay attention to just 10-20 people complaining (even if they are on the same subject). However, if we can all get together on the same thread, maybe we can get their attention. The thread may be found by clicking here. Feel free to leave your opinions on that thread. I took a shot at a recommendation for a solution and there have been some great comments on the pros and cons of that solutions as well as some great ideas. Please take the time to read the thread to try and understand the problem and then make a recommendation or support one of the existing ones. Once there is enough support I plan on bugging CCP until the grease the squeaky wheel. Also worth seeing is some video a few of our pilots put together of one aspect of this tactic being used... and overcome. See that by clicking here. ------------------------------------- // The views expressed by this poster are not the views of the poster's corporation, alliance, planet or television network... but they should be.

Otherwise, please leave your silly smacktalk and flamebait to local as you usually do.
p0rnstar	Posted - 2005.01.27 20:28:00 - [22] a fleet mass logging off and logging back on later isnt an exploit, unless they are actually in combat at the time. At the moment dont ships stay for a while if some1 logs off? I think ships should stay in space for 15mins after logging off, if some1 really ctd they would log back in straight away. It sometimes takes me up to 10mins to log into eve and i crash alot during combat of more than 20ships and i think its pretty fair. Tenacha Khan ~0~
jamesw	Posted - 2005.01.27 23:14:00 - [23] If a ship is warp scrambled beyond any stabs it has, it should not be able to disappear. I don't care if he sits there for half an hour - the ship is not going anywhere. Modules that have been set on auto should remain active, any drones it has out should continue to attack. Also, when you have just logged off one char, any chars on the same account can not be used until the original char is "safe". I know this allows for the possibility of having an inty web/scramble a battleship for 15 minutes while he waits for reinforcements, but hey, 15 minutes is long enough to get back in game, kill an inty, run to a stargate - your choice. If I lost a BS to an out of game problem (CTD, net disconnect etc) I would be annoyed, but that is the sort of reason I purchase insurance. I would much rather see a decent in-game solution that avoids ships disappearing than have an infallible way of retaining my ship if combat is not going my way. Losing ships to a CTD is bad, but people logging off during combat is worse. Talk about an immersion breaker. -- jamesw Rubra Libertas Militia Originally by: RollinDutchMasters I fly a dominix, its like a portable blob in a can
Randay	Posted - 2005.01.28 01:03:00 - [24] ships stay for about 2 minutes i believe. also modules stay activated if they are on cycle. so during those 2 minutes they are repairing and hardening. An apoc with a full tank (or better) will probably never be killed if the person just logs every time. Not that anyone does that i hope, i am just saying that it could be done.

An apoc with a full tank (or better) will probably never be killed if the person just logs every time. Not that anyone does that i hope, i am just saying that it could be done. That is correct, unless the pilot logs an alt onto the same account (definate exploit). If they do that their ship will disappear instantly. The problem is that 2 minutes is not nearly enough. If the logoff timer is increased, we would see (in my opinion) less pure ganking, and more frigate raids. I was involved in a fight against an Apocalypse battleship where the pilot did not logoff, and it lasted almost 15 minutes!! We had him triple webbed and -6 warp scrambled, as well as target jammed - he could do nothing. We had a Crow, a Stiletto, an Incursus and a Scorpion all attacking him, however it took forever to get through his armour. Had the pilot been a tard and logged off, he would have easily saved his ship because of the 2 minute timer. On the other hand last week, we engaged an FA Megathron (pilot was spacecrawler iirc), who initially fought back. He webbed and fired on one of our tacklers, however when another 2 interceptors and a Prophecy were attacking him, he logged. We were able to get him down to around 30% structure before... poof... his ship disappeared into thin air. Other than the second pilot logging off, these 2 engagements are essentially identical engagements: A BS is -6 warp scrambled, double or triple webbed and essentially powerless to fight back. Regardless of logging or a CTD, they should have BOTH ended in destruction of the ship, however one did not. It doesnt matter if he stayed logged on for 5 or 35 minutes - he should die either way. Thankfully for us we got SpaceCrawler due to pilot stupidity as 10 minutes later, he logged on and auto-warped back to us. We engaged again, and he logged.... again!! This time we got the ship kill, as he did not have enough armour to last the full 2 minutes. -- jamesw Rubra Libertas Militia Originally by: RollinDutchMasters I fly a dominix, its like a portable blob in a can
NumBerGuy	Posted - 2005.01.28 03:36:00 - [26] Why not make it that if you dont login after 15 mins ur ship returns to the last place you docked at.

NumBerGuy	Posted - 2005.01.28 03:50:00 - [28] Edited by: NumBerGuy on 28/01/2005 03:50:52 or why not if ur out for longer than 15 all modules turn off

If I were the type to log out and save my ship, I would not be dissuaded from doing it just because my modules would be turned off! People log off to save their ship when they are in what they assume to be an unwinnable fight. Thus, the fight should not end prematurely. If they CTD during a fight (hasn't happened to me in a loooooong time), their modules have remained active and they should be able to log back in in time to finish. If they had stabs on, they would get away anyhow, and be returned to the fight location automatically. -- jamesw Rubra Libertas Militia Originally by: RollinDutchMasters I fly a dominix, its like a portable blob in a can
vanBuskirk	Posted - 2005.01.28 10:47:00 - [30] I agree that CCP ought to do something about logoff as a tactic. At the same time as they do something about mass Teamspeak logons. Which I am sure can be detected, and is strictly against the EULA, which makes it a bannable offense. The latter will never be stopped, because it favours pirates. If CCP don't favour pirates, why don't they simply arrange that no weapons will work against other players you are not at war with in 1.0 or 0.9? A simple solution to disposable suicide alts, which will never get used. ---------------------------------------------- "Violence is the last resort of the incompetent". ----------------------------------------------
Trey Azagthoth	Posted - 2005.01.31 19:59:00 - [31] A few buddies of mine and myself were out in Providence with our interceptors. We came across an XETIC member named Snipe NFS, in an Apoc. We chased him down and he ran to a planet, was sitting there , when we got there, and started shooting him, he logged off while being webbed and scrambled. I know it wasnt a CTD because while we were waiting there, his friends all came in and chased us away from the point he would show up after logging back on, as we were waiting at a safe spot, he logged back on and got an escort home. Got it all on FRAPS also. Gonna make him famous in my video which should be coming out in a few days. Vin Diesel claims he has never hailed a taxi. He just runs up to them at stop lights, opens the door, shoves the current passenger over, and tells the cab driver what his new destination is.
Tomahawk Bliss	Posted - 2005.01.31 20:10:00 - [32] Originally by: Species 8472 A member of colusp whom has been playing for 1 year 8 months logged off as he warped to us wait wait wait let me get this correctly, a lone guy is dealing with a group and he is a coward for running away? uh yeah okay well if I'm out numbered and my enemies aren't in all ibis' I'll not go at them. Call me a coward all you want but why on Gods green earth (or rather EVE's black space) would anyone who doesn't want to lose a ship fight outnumber when alone, especially against experienced PvPers? Admitedly a few times i have fought while outnumbered, things like the solo friggy to scramble the BS and friends but that was so my side could warp on them and at least kill the smack tard one. also it sounded like he was traveling, my travel set up is not good compared to PvP. I will agree when like a group has equal numbers and they log/dock that is lame. but when your outnumbered it isn't cowardly to run away, its called being smart. 2 cents

If you do not want to lose your ship, you simply do not jump into a group of unknown pilots on the map unless you really know what you are doing. This is especially applicable to FA members travelling within their territory, as we have been there for MONTHS. This pilot still disengaged his brain and jumped into the system, and would have been able to see the enemy pilots in local. The smart thing to do would be to go safe and log off. Disappointing for the waiting PvPers but entirely justifiable. Instead, he warped to the PvPers and logged off mid warp. That is what is not acceptable - he had ample opportunity to get himself out of trouble by not getting into it in the first place. If my corpmates had his ship warp scrambled (I don't know if they did or not), his ship should have stayed in space until it died / warped away. -- jamesw Rubra Libertas Militia Originally by: RollinDutchMasters I fly a dominix, its like a portable blob in a can
Droidster	Posted - 2005.02.01 00:06:00 - [34] Logoff tactics must be prevented! I am just a trader (=victim) and I still say this. It is killing the game. I suggest that if a player logs/CTDs their ship disappears in 30 seconds. But if they were locked and they fail to log back on within 2 minutes then the ship should reappear and stay there as long as it is locked. If you crash you have a 2-minute grace period to log back on. Beyond that you meet your fate! Please stop logoff escapes CCP! _____________________________________________ I am motivated by various things, mostly ISK.
jamesw	Posted - 2005.02.01 00:32:00 - [35] IMO the game client is more than stable enough to treat all CTD's as log-offs. I have had only 1 crash since Exodus (and a few net d/c's). Aside from anything else, the present system is a sham as it really is quite random as to whether you live or die when you stop controlling your ship. -- jamesw Rubra Libertas Militia Originally by: RollinDutchMasters I fly a dominix, its like a portable blob in a can

jamesw	Posted - 2005.02.01 02:20:00 - [37] I still say that if a pilot logs off, or CTDs or his ISP kills his net, his ship should behave as normal and not randomly disappear. If he is warp scrambled beyond any stabs he has, his ship should not go anywhere. It should continue doing what it was last set to do until it is able to warp out / dies / pilot reconnects. I would much rather lose my own ship to a crash than to lose kills because pilots cant hack their own blind stupidity of running into a trap.. Bear in mind that when I say this, I do not fly a tanked Apocalypse, but an un-tanked EW scorpion that dies if someone looks twice at it. If I CTD and log on straight away, I would probably still die. This is the reason I insure my ships. -- jamesw Rubra Libertas Militia Originally by: RollinDutchMasters I fly a dominix, its like a portable blob in a can

Killer Gandry	Posted - 2005.02.01 09:41:00 - [39] I got cought with my pants down. 12 Inties and frigates chewed up my BS when I was hopping through 0.0 Hadn't fit the darn ship right since back then it was my very first BS. I don't log, not with a ship or a pod. If I am stupid or brave enough to hop around there then I will do so to all concequences. But let's not only talk about the lame logg off tactic, let's allso talk about the lame log on tactic aswell. I have seen it happen. I have certain people in my buddylist to see when they are online or offline. I was hunting one of them in 0.0 and at some point I see one after the other log off exept the one I was hunting. At a given system the one I was hunting wasn't jumping to another system anymore so I started to look in said system. Behold what a surprise, several of his corpbuddies all of a sudden mass logged in and even to greater surprise all in the same system as I was hunting said player. I am certain that there are plenty of people that use teamspeak or ventrillo for such lame log on tactics aswell. So let's cut the bull**** and face it. Carebears log off when outnumbered or outgunned and there are plenty of PvP ers that use a lame log on tactic aswell. What's the difference of logging out when being ganked by a superior force or to use a log on when you use a decoy to lure a prey into a certain system to then just log in massifly to overpower the lone hunter. Both are lame yet I see more lame remarks about someone logging off to avoid a fight he can't win but I don't see much whinning when the tables are turned. Better to try and fail, then to fail due to not trying

Also worth seeing is some video a few of our pilots put together of one aspect of this tactic being used... and overcome. See that by clicking here. If EVERYONE who has a problem with you and your tactics will start a thread. There will be more pages than in Bible.

I was pursuing a rage of angel's member and i had him locked, jammed and into armour when he logged, then came back and just kept warping away and hiding. I was in yulai and he said it was because he was going to a fleet battle and needed to get his enyo up and running(Since I destroyed it yesterday). I find logging to be pretty pathetic and I don't understand why a person who supposedly has 8.4 million gunnery skill points is logging to avoid a 1 month old noob... -The Loveable Nub

Becaaaaause locking alone wont hold a ship still, wouldnt the game be so much easier if it did tho! A Stain Empire, Apoc pilot logged on us the other night before we even got him halfway through armour, but nonetheless it was too late to save his ship.
