Edited by: BadGirlPosse on 02/04/2011 07:13:38 In a .7 system Mining agent Combat mission comes up, I go get a Devoter. It has 85% on all, 90 on Expl.
I am in there for 10 minutes.
webbed down by an MWD Alvi frigate Scrammed by another MWD Alvi frigate and I havee 11 Battleships pumping 550 volleys at me.
Yes, I lost the HIC.
Think about that CCP. I have been back in your schizophrenic game for 2 days.(check the account) Doing missions from a Mining agent and you guys barf that down on me.
Nobody wants you to make the game easy or a push over but think about that. Its a game, fun, relaxing. Does that seem fun and relaxing to you? Does that seem fair to you? Does that seem balaned to you? Risk Vs Reward? 1200 LP and a mill reward for that?
I'm sorry. You guys are just pathetic. Is life at CCP that boring? That you need to **** people like that?

before the 'waah, cry more noob' and 'can i have your stuff' crowd get here, I don't have a link to a post on it but I believe they said at fanfest they are making agents give out a specific type of mission so that you won't have that happen.
however, there might be something to be said for your choice of mission ship. .

Missioning on HIC? On mining mission? Without reading eve-survival first? Eve should be "relaxing"?

Edited by: Ioci on 02/04/2011 07:21:00 U want to know whats even better? I had 2 accounts on. The other one was in a Domi, so I jumped the Domi to Ioci so I could kill the scram frigate.
WRONG!! The domi got sucked to a static warp in point 90 KM away. So I couldn't even save the ****ing HIC after I found out the mission was broke! Aint that just grand. |

1) coming soon agent divisions will be reworked to ONLY give mission types within their division (i.e. all combat, all mining, etc.) 2) Mining mission? Really? You're probably the only person in EVE who does them, but power to you I guess. 3) I'm pretty sure I know exactly what mission you're talking about. You triggered every single spawn instead of clearing one spawn branch at a time. Read the mission guides so you know exactly what to expect. eve-survival.org is a favorite. 4) They didn't really go out of their way to screw you. They just set a path that takes some preparation and research. The way they are going out of their way to screw you is by making sure that what you are doing right there is the most profitable PVE you can ever do in EVE by giving anything that actually pays well to their best friends. 5) the reward for rogue drones isn't cash and LP. It's the loot and salvage. And yeah, rogue drones missions suck. You didn't have to actually accept the mission though.

There was no spawn sequence. It started with 4 cruisers, they popped quick, then the scram came in and by that time I had to warp out the Domi that I had with it because it was carrying the BS dps and was going down. I wasn't expecting to warp back to the Devoter, not 90 km away.
Why people would even try to excuse bad coding like this is stunning. The game is so nerfed in to oblivion its sick. We are forced to sc**** the bottom of the barrel now and still get gimped. I was doing mining missions. The only combat asset I had in the area was the devoter. It tanked glorious damage. It did damn good. The Devoter was not the issue. The broken missions are. |

Each of those 4 cruisers triggers a separate spawn when killed.
(they don't have unique names so having a one-man fleet and tagging the 4 original cruiser can help with avoiding to shoot the remaining ones while you kill the spawns)

And this from a mining agent? So everyone who doesnt have a PHD in EvE issions and 14 bookmarks to page long tutorials on each mission can't play EvE? But this is all coolio with people who play EvE?

actually CCP is insulting my intelligence by making mission running a completely mindless chore that can be done with bots.
It's me laughing at you, not CCP.
edit: as of now there are no pure "mining agents" although that will probably change with the revamp of the division system.

What about the lvl1 mining mission which spawns 500k-bounty battleships? And you have to kill em to finish the mission (being able to mine).
Balanced? Not in this game.

Its about Devs losing perspective. Unlike you and me, they can't cancel subs every 6 months or so and take a break. I'm not being vocal to whine. I'm being vocal to shake them out of that lack of perspective. Remind them, it's a game. it's supposed to be fun. |

We have all done stupid things in this game, but lets be clear here, you were the one who was stupid...very stupid for a number of reasons. NOT CCP
1. PVP Specialised Combat Heavy Interdictor, with bonuses to PVP stuff... probably could have picked a better ship. SAC, ZEALOT, ARBITRATOR, PHANTASM, PILGRIM, NAVY OMEN, HARBINGER, PROPHECY, ABSOLUTION, ASHIMUUU, all would probably have been superior choices for various reasons.
2. Ship Without Drones in PVE equals a lot of fail for when you get webbed and scrammed and frigates fly under your guns etc.
Let this be a learning experience for you to take the right ship for the right job and basically not be a bone head.

You failed miserably in a mission which can be done in 3 minutes without scratching the shields. You are comp[laining about your own stupidness. Stop missioning, join brainless and relaxing asteroid belt mining.

And nobody has yet mentioned the fact that you can safely decline 1 mission every 4 hours from each agent without consequence. So you could have skipped the mission outright.

Edited by: Arthur Frayn on 02/04/2011 08:27:37 I feel cheated. I came in hoping the op would be ranting about a new mission that would be as tough as the lvl 4's were in the good old days of 2006, but it turns out the op just sucks at running the laughably easy missions we have now.

Your devotion to trying to make people feel stupid because they didnt drop 3 hrs of thier life reading the Mission novels is really very lame. I did what anyone doing a mission in a vide game would do. I killed the spawns as they came based on my ships ability. I went in not expecting to be tackled in to the ground and ganked by a 1200 LP, 1 mill mission. I guaged risk based on reward. Isn't that what you would exect normal people to do the first time doing a mission? No, not in EvE. In EvE you go read a novel on step by step instructions on how not be forced in to a battle you can't possibly win. Fun, such fun. read about the video game you might get to play in 2 hrs. |

No, they aren't. A quite a few are posting examples of the broken AI in missions. Your appeal to the masses to support your trolling and griefing isn't going quite the way you xpected. Sorry that didnt work out for you.
And I will be pushing this to the top untill the Devs answer it, or the end of the month. Either way, either or. I will continue to report flames, trolls and off topic additions. I will continue to complain about this. Not for the stupid ship but because it's broken and CCP can't have all yes men in thier subscription base. |

Your post contained many typos and grammatical errors.
Originally by: Ioci Your devotion to trying to make people feel stupid because they didnt drop 30 seconds of their life reading the clear concise mission summaries is really very understandable and appropriate.
I did what anyone doing a mission in a vide game would do. I killed the spawns thinking nothing could ever throw me a curveball which would've taken no time to prepare for. I went in expecting the mission to be a dumb "kill 12 boars" affair that did all the thinking for me.
I went in not expecting a mild challenge. I decided 1200 LP and 1 mill isk should be easy to gain for 5 minutes of point and click in whatever ship I thought would be good for the job. Isn't that what you would expect complete and utter tards to do the first time doing a mission?
No, not in EvE. In EvE you go skim-read a very brief overview of what to expect and how to handle it in order to win any battle with only a loss of ammo to show for it. Fun, such fun. Read about the video game while running the mission simultaneously and profiting.

ACtually good sir when you play most games what happens is you come up against something unexpected and you die in a fire. You then restart the level or whatever and try again, learning from last time. So how is that any different to what happened to your stupid HIC. Did you think the warp disruption bubble would put the smack down on the rats? Do you think it's pathetic DPS and average active tank would hold against the swarms. Guess not. So next time it comes up try and different ship and tactic. I'm sure that's what happens in pretty much ALL games.
But in your case, you died...and you think the game is stupid because you are dead, in your tech 2 expensive mission ship. Next time why don't you use an Interdictor, or a ceptor or something you know, really PVP specific for PVE.
EVE Survival.org is useful, but it isn't actually required to do level 4's or any combat missions. Probably 95% of the missions I learnt to do myself from just doing them and paying attention. Just like you learn much about mining by DOING the activity.

See above. Making you QQ for longer is a reward in itself.
By the way, I notived this "alt" of yours is an '05 player. Either you're an even bigger troll than everyone replying to you (and I salute you if you are, because no '05 player is so ignorant that they never learned to do level 4's), or you bought this character and tried to do the mission thinking your awesome skillpoints and big tough Domi would see you through to victory.
I hope it's the latter because it makes your tears even sweeter. -- Eventus stultorum magister. |

That's great. You forgot to to read becase I had a Domi there too. The Domi left when it got over tanked and was removed from the battle with a static warp in point. |

Probably hundreds of players complete that mission every day. It is far from impossible to complete, even without reading "for hours". Thousands of people are capable of killing scrammers and webbers and warp out before they lose their ships.
It is also quite common that you will land on a certain location when warping into a deadspace pocket - if your second ship arrived far away from your first ship that's because your first ship moved that far away from the entry point.
The fact that mission running is widely used to make ISK efficiently suggests that it is in fact too easy and you losing your ship was actually your fault.
Missions are "broken" but not in the way you describe. They are "broken" because they are far too predictable and easy.
I'm not sure what you actually expect because you don't say that. But not every combination of ships, equipment, skills, experience and missions will result in a success and there's nothing wrong with that.
