CCP, Seriously, tell me this is some kind of twisted april fools joke. This will have a dramatically opposite effect as to what you claim your goals are.
I am an alliance leader of what was a small alliance. When dominion came out we took it to heart. We wanted something more than NPC 0.0 and we wanted a bigger chunk of the pie.
We ended up in providence. We had no moons. We had ****ty tru-sec. But we worked our asses off upgraded our space and made it ours. We were not part of any power block. We did not swim in a sea of blues. We played the game because we love to pvp. Sanctums bairly give the pilots enough isk to pay for the ships needed to lose them on a daily basis.
We have since made some friends grown and moved into a much nicer region of space. This was your original intention was it not? To get us interested and to make us want more?
We have grown a lot in the past year or so. We have made some new friends and we fought with them to conquer a new region. We have a couple moons. But not enough to justify the space soley based on the moons. We again busted our asses and upgraded our space so that we could afford our glorious battle steeds.
In comes CCP to essentially ruin the game for nullsec residents. It's become painfully obvious that no one at CCP cares about the pilot in nullsec. CCP keeps claiming that they want to make 0.0 interesting. Guess what CCP, Plex's are NOT ****ING INTERESTING. Anomalies are NOT ****ING INTERESTING. Missions NOT ****ING INTERESTING. They are a means to an end NO ONE cares about any of the storyline/roleplay aspects behind them.
The ONLY reason we come to 0.0 and we upgrade our space is so that we can afford the basic pvp ships to roam around and explode into each other on a nightly basis. You take away our income. You take away the reason we play the game.
You claim that eve is a sandbox. Yet everything I have read about many of the upcoming changes in nullsec seems to be built around the idea that somehow having multiple alliances working together to build an empire is wrong. So rather than embracing the sandbox. You choose to **** in it.
I hate to break it to you CCP, look at the real world. Look at the political relationship between the world powers. It's not much different than that in eve. It's how humans work. Will always work, and no matter how many times you tell 0.0 residents to bend over and take it like a prison ***** you will not change this.
I do not subscribe to this game because I find anything in PVE to be fun. The only reason I do PVE is to pay for my pvp habit. Which the current system was a really nice balance. I could spend a night a week doing sanctums/havens for a couple hours and then go enjoy eve for a week.
But since CCP is hellbent on ruining the user experience in nullsec. I think its probably time to finnaly cut the ties and unsubscribe, and as im sure any alliance leader out there knows the amount of personal drain this game has, and to have everything you worked for thrown in the garbage bin. It's quite disheartening.
So on that note.

Originally by: Cresalle So basically what we're being told is that now that it's nearly impossible for a 'newcomer' to take space from the sov blobs you're going to nerf the **** out of all the 'newcomer' space and isolate the player-level income to space that is already firmly in the grasp of the invincible million-man armies.
I'm going to try really hard not to be sardonic here.
In the future I would appreciate it if you would submit this kind of plan to the CSM for review at least 6 months prior to beginning work on it.
You do not understand sov. You do not understand player-level income. Apparently you do not understand alliance-level income either. You do not understand the reasoning behind the movements of the different groups in the game and you still seem to be laboring under the severely deluded opinion that the 'little guy' (or even the 'big guy') can actually make any kind of strategic progress against the sov blobs.
Nulsec is a few big dogs snarling at one another and a load of fleas scraping around the edges. The proposed changes are basically a flea-dip.
And I don't even run anoms.

I've seen more than one war in 0.0 started over a couple of good ratting systems.

No, you haven't.
Yes... I really have. :)

No, You have not.

Yes, before dominion the isk faucet did not exist. But the entire ****ing point of this was to make pilots interested in 0.0 It worked! My alliance embraced the change and worked its ass off to get out here.
We also invested billions of isk in both time and the mods themselves with the expectation that we were making an investment into our future. Only to find out that CCP is ****ing us in the ass.
So will CCP refund the isk spent on the upgrades currently in place prior to their "bait and switch?"
Also will the cost of sov be modified to reflect the real world value of the space. Currently why would anyone pay 200+ million isk a month for anom's that are bairly worth more than the ammo used to shoot them.
If ccp wants to change the dynamics in 0.0, and break up the larger power blocks. The ONLY way to do this is to change moons. Not to screw over the little guy.
The moons should be dynamic!
Say you have a tech moon, That tech moon should only have so much Tech that can be mined before it becomes depleated. Say 90 days worth at max capacity for good measure. After the moon has been mined dry it would dynamically spawn on another unclaimed moon somewhere in eve.
This would force players to actually survey the moons from time to time. It would also stop one or two powerfull alliances from sitting on all of the tech moons and swatting down anyone else who tries to take one.
Just an idea.
But either way. I'm sure CCP will push this through due to the overwhelming support i'm seeing here today. Easy Co. |

Originally by: CCP Greyscale Hey everyone,
It'd be pretty difficult not to notice the fairly strong negative reaction this blog's getting so far, and any time this sort of reaction occurs it's pretty common policy for us to take a pause and do another evaluation pass on the design, taking into account the arguments raised by players. Obviously we're in the middle of fanfest right now so everything takes a little longer than usual, but I'm going to talk to some people tomorrow, get some other perspectives, and figure out whether or not we're still happy with both the direction and the details here.
We are starting to take another serious look at a range of nullsec issues right now, with an eye to fixing structural issues with the current design. Be aware that fixing the problems we're facing is very likely going to involve disrupting the current status quo, and in at least some cases I'm expecting us to push through changes we're confident in despite (expected) negative feedback. We have to consider the long-term big picture, and that priority may sometimes conflict with the immediate interests of some elements of the playerbase. That said, this may or may not be one of those occasions - watch this space.
Have a nice weekend everybody, and I'll try and get back to you with more info next week -Greyscale
The range of issues in nullsec, should not include punishing everyone who came to nullsec based on the promises given during dominion..
I am all for shaking things up in 0.0, but not by punishing anyone. You need to take what we currently have and build upon it.
The fact of the matter is a lot of players have invested billions on billions of isk into their infrastructure and that there is not any way that you can take that away without causing a major backlash. I for one am prepared to cash in all 4 of my accounts. I'm sure I am not alone.
Why not increase the quality of the sanctums and havens based on trusec.. using 0.0 as the baseline and going upwards.
But i would rather see there be sites that are larger and more valuable than sanctums, perhaps with the new ai, that get progressivly better based on trusec.
just sayin... Carrots work a lot better than sticks. Easy Co. |

Why would anyone pay 180 mil isk a month for sov in a system, plus a bil in upgrades, to run hubs/dens.
This change breaks the entire dominion upgrade system very badly.
I agree trusec should have an effect, but not that effect, I was expecting trusec to effect the bounties on the ships in the sanctums. lower trusec still gets the sties, but with lower valued bs's...
Oh well ccp obviously spends too much time playing wow.
Has any of the major gaming site/blogs picked this up yet. or has anyone suggested that the gaming press cover the outrage of the community, and the disregard that ccp is showing?
We will not get anything changed until it really effects ccp's bottom line. Easy Co. |

Originally by: Proats Guys, guys, you're getting worked up over nothing. This is clearly an April Fool's prank. CCP can't possibly that dumb.
Let's hope.
However,
To anyone saying that pvp'rs who oppose these changes arent pvpr's consider this.
I do not farm sanctums, Hell i cant stand the thought of shooting npc's. But I need to fund my hull mining habits. Currently my alliance has upgrades our space, i can spend an hour a week running a sanctum to get me enough ships to enjoy the rest of the week.
You take those away i either have to go all the way to highsec and run missions, or into a wh, taking me out of pvp for longer amounts of time. Or i just buy a botting program and join the rest of them...
Not only that as someone who roams around frequently with his corpies looking for dumbasses running sanctums, its going to suck having everyone clumped into a few systems. It will only make the rich richer and keep more of them blobbed into one space. Where as right now there are plenty of upgraded systems in dead end pipes etc. where you can run in with a few ppl gank the unsuspecting idiot in a carrier and gtfo.
I just don't see any of the outcomes listed in the op as actually having anything to do with these changes. Easy Co. |
