Its all about risk vs reward aka isk/hour
True, i didn't see anyone tanking and killing 20+ ships with one ship in pvp.

CCP should do some more research about ded's in 0.0 as there are a couple of them that do MASSIVE damage with citadel torpedos.
Nice to see drones shooting other stuff tho just the ded part concerns me. |

@CCP: I really like this change!
Together with the introduction of Remote Repair T1 Frigates and T1 Cruisers this will be a great way to foster cooperation between players. This will also make level 4 missions more interesting, since some of them will get only solveable with a properly set up group (if you don't have the super-shiny-faction-BS in place).
To really bring PVE content even closer to PVP the only thing which is missing is the need to have a point on NPC. Why don't you add the feature that 1 of 10 NPC ships will try to warp off once you hit him into hull? This would be very funny for belts where you can see your ISK warping away if you don't point it. With regards for missions it would be funny if such an warped-off NPC would be replaced by a new and fresh NPC which is warping into the mission. |

Actually it's never come up for me, can cloakies actually be hit while cloaked? I've never been caught by bombs or smartbombs in one. "Human beings make life so interesting. Do you know that in a universe so full of wonders, they have managed to invent boredom." |

CCP FoxFour wrote:Alexander the Great wrote:You want to break current PvE so you can make it better sometime in the future?
No, please make all changes together so we can see why it is better.
Currently I see only broken gameplay for some groups of players and no improvements in making PvE fun. What are we breaking? The missions are still more than doable, some things will require a change in strategy but nothing is being broken. What is done solo now will be done solo absolutely the same way after AI changes. Except for drone boats if NPC will aggro drones. That could make gallente useless in PvE as they are now in PvP.
As already stated in many posts here - the main problem will be high end DED complexes. Most of them can't be done solo and now they'll require twice more people. Considering low drop rate it won't be worth scanning for plexes any more.
Also you can't take corpmates with lower SP with you any more, because their cruiser or battlecruiser will be smashed by a group of elite cruiser NPCs.
So, PvE content and rewards remain the same, but it gets much harder for groups of people I mentioned and maybe more. So I'd like to see real improvements done at the same time as AI change. |

I've been reading some pretty funny comments coming from self-styled pvpers who are now afraid that they might actually have to face npc fire while they're attacking some random mission runner. Sorry, but LOL.
As for these weird proposed changes ... well, I don't even know where to begin. Touting this npc ai upgrade as some kind of kick-ass big feature is kinda lame in my opinion.
How about you go and add more missions, improve existing ones, add more epic arcs, plex sites, give some function to dead npc factions/corporations or whatever ?. Now THAT would be worth writing home about. Hell, even getting rid of npcs getting stuck on various clutter or bumping away at supersonic speed would do a whole lot more good.
Bah.

Well, look at that! I've been hoping/waiting quite a long time for this change. Missions might actually get interesting again! Thanks for listening to the players on this one.
Reading about the changes, or more specifically the consequences to the behavior of the rats, I'm a bit worried about one thing that might be a bit out of the ordinary.
"Bring a noob to L4"-day in EVE Occasionally I like to bring newer players (maybe less than a month old or so) along to do a few level 4s. It's a good way for them to bring up their standings and see what the missions are like. My worry is now that he/she won't be able to do much because of how the NPCs choose targets. As far as I can tell there hasn't been any (official) information as to how the ewar is handled in regards to target selection, so lacking that I can only speculate (or ask). Quite a few Serpentis missions have quite heavy damps (I think examples are The Assault and The Blockade), capable of dampening a BS down to 5 km targeting range or so. Since these damps come primarily from [elite?] cruiser-sized vessels (Guardian Chief and the like), does this mean that my noob friend in his thorax/vexor will get the full force of these as he has roughly in the same sigsize, leaving him with a kilometer targeting range (at the most)? Will they split their damps? Is it just luck what happens? I can't go test this as I don't happen to have a noob handy to test it with me but I'm sure you guys at CCP could put an appropriate test together quite easily... |

This patch would remove a big part of risk for 0.0 bears and a big part of pvp - hunting and shooting ratters is apart of sov shiit battes a major part of it, whether you like it or not - while it doesnt introduce any other kind of pvp in return, hence its reducing amount of pvp in eve, which cant be a good thing regardless of everything else.
Look, I don't mean to belittle your efforts or anything like that, I understand that hunting down fellas in enemy controlled space is a warfare tool and a risky activity.
What is amusing to me, though, is the thought that, for some reason, the npcs should spare the mission-guy hunter. That would be kinda difficult to justify..What would be more fun that both hunter and victim having to warp away in pods due to npc wrath?.

Harassing an enemy in their ratting ground is a valid tactic and over the last cpl years it became harder and harder to catch somebody in either a belt or anomaly due to the simple fact that there are alot less people doing it now since the risk/reward of null-sec is terrible to Incursions/FW. And let's be honest about it: I did solo/small gank in null-sec over years and the best solo roaming ships out there just have enough dps to kill a ratter when there is actually npc damage on it.

How about you will turn on your brains before you post something in here and make CCP think they are on the right path?
Let me tell you why I will quit this game if this changes will go live:
I play eve since 2004 and I am not a big fan of gangs, fleets etc. Because this game is sandbox, it gives us free choice what to do. My choice is SOLO, period, and here's why it will kill 95% of my fun:
I do fly Assaults and other small ships ships in null / low sec. to catch belt, anomaly, mission hunters on small ships and then kill them when they don't pay enough attention to local and d-scan. Now, killing drakes, ravens, dominixes and other hunter will be impossible on small ships, because I won't have enough time to kill them before NPC's will trim me off.
Covert OP bombers? Forget about it. We barely could orbit tank ships without NPC's attacking us, now - no chance at all.
Basically, killing people while they are doing their hunting will be impossible on small and even medium ships.
By any means, killing solo pvp will NOT make people happy.
THIS.
Killing entire PVP category in null/low sec just to make a small tweak in PVE?
I thought this is PVP based game.... oh god, FoxFour even ignored my first post. |

Have you considered not decloaking until the rats are dead? You're in a stealth bomber that locks pretty much instantly.
However, i must admit that story wise is would make sense for the rats to continue shooting the ratter and not you, as you would effectively be assisting the rats. They see me trolling, they hating... |

Oh really? They longer you are in local, the less your chances to kill your target. Even more, when you enter 0.0 system, you have around 30 seconds to scan down target and catch it
OTHERWISE: A. He will warp to safe spot B. He will call nearest chip & dale squad to hunt you down while you wait until he will finish his red crosses
And yes, how about other small size ships like assaults without cloaks? |

I have to agree that a change like that pretty much means that heavy drones will be dead and sentries the only useable drone type. That also means speed tanking drone boats will be unusable.
It's hard enough to work with heavy drones in missions with spawns already but random aggro will be completely unmanageable and even if it IS, it will completely eat up drone DPS.
The basic drone management is also terribly unsuited to this new behaviour. The 'guard' command will be completely useless if aggro is not concentrated on the guarded target, since the drones prefer to sit idle instead of reverting back to their former behaviour once their guarded target runs out of aggressors. Manually allocating targets will not be an option, since the majority of target slots (typical drone boats have 7) will be used up by the 5 drones to keep an eye on and rep up - in an attempt to mitigate the DPS drop a bit.
Personally i will be severely affected since my current strategy (due to SP restrictions) of running missions in a tank+DPS setup will be invalidated and I will be forced to run Lvl3's or not run missions at all until I can accumulate enough SP for a spider setup on both accounts, but at least that problem CAN be overcome. (Please feel free to explain to your marketing staff that you completely nullified their 'power of two' campaign with you ingenious AI idea) I'm not sure if i really want to invest the effort though instead of simply canceling my subscription and finding another game to play.
I would strongly suggest that for this patch you concentrate on creating/reworking SOME missions to the new AI and see how players accept the change. If those missions are avoided by drone boats and fleets as a general rule that might be a hint that people do not welome your change as much as you expected.

So, the pirate pvp types are upset because their pve fit targets might have a chance in an actual fight instead of just being the Target in a one sided gankfest?
People play this game to have fun. Getting ganked by some mouth breathing baby eater isn't fun for anyone but the ganker.
While I hope that they put in the tools to manage aggro or to control where the damage goes, keeping pve for groups and drone boats viable, its attitudes like Caldera's that have made me wish for a change of this nature for years. Assuming the game stays playable for myself and my friends, this change will actually get you new targets, because I will move to low and null sec areas if I feel I'm more than some chuckleheads target for thier twisted domestic abuse fantasies.
The goal of making pve and pvp fits the same is good for that reason. The game is supposed to be fun, and being victimized isnt fun. It may be fun for the kind of guy that likes slapping those weaker than themselves without fear of repercussions and watching them cry, but not for anyone else.
Crying because NPCs are going to partially level the feild kinda makes you look less like some badass pvper fighter pilot, and more like the kind of fat-kid bully that sobs when he gets a taste of what he's been serving. |

As soon as neutral appears in local, almost everyone will warp out to station/POS/safe or logoff, even if not much earlier as soon as you get reported in intel channels 2 jumps away. Getting there intime and see the ship on grid already requires a lot of effort and luck, so waiting till NPCs are gone isnt an option at all. Either you grab him or you wont kill anything.

Further news as the situation develops.
lol
Hyperbole aside, there is some truth to this. I got a buddy (actually a friend of a friend) who just started playing and is now "barely" skilled into a drake. Because of being in fleet with me and has Real Life friend who introduced him to the game, he now has the standings to run lvl 4s, but of course his ship (and real) skills are lagging behind. he's lost 2 drakes so far trying to solo lvl 4s (lol) when me and his friend aren't online.
When we are online we let him tag along and watch and he's learning the ropes and of course the dude should be in a Raven by the time this change happens. Just saying that it would have made things more difficult had it been in place now.
I'm not quick to throw the word nerf around, but this change seems like nothing more than a Drone DPS/New player/Alt salvage nerf.
When I take my FoF missile ships (Tengu now, maybe Navy Raven in the future depending on how hard the HML nerf hits) + Machariel into anomalies I won't notice a single difference as I never use drones anyways. The solo mission runner (even the dual boxer) will notice nothing except a higher and more frequent drone replacement bill.
But the guy actually trying to help a bud by letting him tag along and watch IS going to notice. Let me say again, not against the change, just want the powers that be to be aware. |

Can I ask you - what the hell are you doing in this game?
Let me explain what is EVE from PVP point of view for people like you came from regular MMORPG's with pvp existing only in BG's and Arenas.
1. This game is not fair - deal with it. 99.9% of battles are NOT FAIR For example, you and your buddy decided to have a little bit of PVP somewhere. You might find yourself in situations like: A. GateCamp - You jump and encounter 10x outnumbered amount of people on other side - no chances for you without a scout (scout will die anyway) B. Accidentally got caught by 10x more size roam & zergs (this might include FW gangs, alliance roams etc)
2. This game is actually MADE in a way to create risk for you everywhere outside high sec (even high sec is not safe - read suicide ganking) So when you go to low sec for extra profit, or trying to make your career in NPC 0.0 region you will always find someone trying to find your weak spots. So you should think yourself how you want to balance your risk / profit.
This is tactical game. |

Before I cancel both my accounts due to this proposed AI work, can you explain how these proposed AI changes are in any way part of your attempts to listen to the player community and fix existing broken content rather than actually creating an upheaval and breaking working content?
Have you bothered to read all of these concerns that your proposed changes to AI are stirring up? Yet this is only a preliminary view of the problems your creating, something which probably could have been hammered out over lunch before even attempting to introduce this information to the player community.
All of your focus and what you will be working on from now until the winter release are the AI as your main priority? How is this not a 180 turn from what you have proposed as far as your promises to stop doing this sort of thing?
Why are your priorities not fixing existing broken content as in: -The bounty system -The alliance and corporation system -bounding box and PC/NPC hangup issues on asteriods/gates/stations -random disconnects -Promised UI fixes
I was lured back with the intent that CCP would stop breaking things so they could fix them and fix the things that were already broken instead. I have a few days to decide and almost a decade worth of work to consider losing so I figured I would ask a legitimate question instead of rage quitting, which seems to already be happening on this thread. |

In fact, bears becoming even more safe in 0.0 anomalies/plexes in already too safe place like 0.0 is a serious problem and very one sided. I dont know if you ever tried to catch a ratter in 0.0, but this has become a ridiculously hard task and a lot of pvp already prior landing your first shot at all. This patch would remove a big part of risk for 0.0 bears and a big part of pvp - hunting and shooting ratters is apart of sov shiit battes a major part of it, whether you like it or not - while it doesnt introduce any other kind of pvp in return, hence its reducing amount of pvp in eve, which cant be a good thing regardless of everything else. Have you considered not decloaking until the rats are dead? You're in a stealth bomber that locks pretty much instantly. However, i must admit that story wise is would make sense for the rats to continue shooting the ratter and not you, as you would effectively be assisting the rats.
Rat Aggro should be standings based. If you want to go hunt out in 0.0 and dont want the rats to shoot you get standings towards them. This would help tie in the lore better and make it so people that still want to hunt in null can. Not sure if this would be hard to implament but I would think this would be the same mechanic as faction police in empire. |
