Ok, here's how it goes... Is ccp broke? I mean do they need money really badly??? what is this the monetary system version of a video game? Be real guys... Since I've started eve, money making became harder in every single damn patch...
First came the steady rise of Plex... then the reduction of isk payout from incursions... then the period of price rise in ships and ammo... then further increase in Plex prices (in isk i mean)... Then a period when everything that used to be considered cheap became luxury like decking corps and much more expensive when decking alliances etc... Then the sudden BooM in Plex prices again , and now the bull crap you call "tweaks and balances"??? When did inflation become a problem in Video games? I thought inflation was a thing of real life where human purchasing power keeps decreasing and their rights are constantly abused.
Oh wait... I get it you wanna make this game like WoW where players have to constantly PAY to play :)
Hmm... so whats next in plan? 1B target for Plex prices by next patch? then the removal of Plex as a market item???
People like me were already fooled with that "power of two" deal so they had two accounts to manage (as if it really is necessary). I decided to pay for one and Plex the other but it all seems to be very hard now... As you know the PvP business is costly...
And finally the "RETRIBUTION" comes!!! horay! but wait.... Did rats just become einstein??? opps! bye bye iskies for those mission runners or rat farmers (like my self) because rats now auto agro "EVERYTING" thats in vicinity!!! not thing that shoot at them, but i literally mean everything!!!!!!!!!!!! just like my logi repping my tengu that was farming... or the noctis i lost while salvaging after farm when the rats spawned and insta-poped by noc... Oh yeah not to mention all the rookies that lost their ships that decided to take a peak and the famous land-mark the caldari titan! (in Luminaire). A hulk, some more visitors, some explorers and my fellow peaceful miner friend Roman that lost his pro fitted hulk! :)
So all this adds up to one thing.... CCP wants people ganked, isk lost, plex bought... simple as that. But I tell you what... I'll wait for another week to see the bits and pices of patches to retribution and if it's goes on... bye bye EVE hello again WoW :) |

Hast Semah wrote:Dear CCP, here is my feedback. The new UI is nice. I enjoy being able to see who is dealing damage, who I'm able to target, etc... The circles are a bit to big, and clutter up easily, at least when zoomed out and using the tactical overlay. I do have some complaints. Please note these are only about the patch, not regarding improvements I think EVE needs.
- NPC Combat timer seems very pointless. Being unable to do a safe-log off because an NPC targeted you is mind boggling.
- The new NPC AI is more realistic, but no practical ways were implemented to allow drone boats to continue to be feasible.
- No way to 1v1 in high sec without being legal targets for all of New Eden.
- Safety resetting. This is completely incomprehensible. In all honesty, this is purely bad programming. 'nuf said.
- Corp recruiting. New version is more polished, but I was expecting a good overhaul of the system with more features.
- Wanted signs. By downtime tomorrow, every player is going to have a bounty on their head. The signs need to be smaller, or there needs to be a different one for neg sec status pilots. Being wanted by another capsuleer is not the same as being a criminal.
- No more neg-sec status flag on the overview. That used to be a good way to determine if a player coming towards you was up to no good.
Except for the drone nerf to certain extent, these problems are livable with. But they are a hassle, and show certain lack of effort (not to say there wasn't any). Overall however, I am somewhat happy with the patch.
Like i said above mate, ccp wants you to make 7-8mil isk per hour to play the game and work every night for a whole month to be able to buy a faction BS... If there are 10 good things about this patch there are 25 bad... thats the ration, period. Totally pointless safe log off timer. your brother trips and drops the wireless modem in your house and you disconnect you loose a faction fit tengu in mid-mission. An electricity cut happens (which happenes once every few days in Cyprus and even Israel) you loose boat again. If a network connections happens with your Net-provider you loose again... I mean what is the god damn point of adding such difficulty and nonconstructive attribute to the game???????????

Why can't ccp acknowledge a simple fact about gaming experience... DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING THAT ALREADY WORKS FUN!
1- How many complaints have you had about the jukebox? was is necessary to remove it? was it causing too much lag and decreasing performance in gameplay? Absolutely not... then why remove it? who would even complain about such a thing anyway??? I personally got pissed off when i wanted to hear the log-in screen music so i put the music volume up but had to put it back down when i logged in so it doesn't interfere with my in game voice communication. I liked the intro music, it just gave me the edge while i listened to it when changing my top after arriving from work... but now i have my log-in screen blank and soundless because of your pointless changes...
2- There is a whole variety of gameplay based on can flipping. Bating, pvp, and even tryouts with friends that aren't ins ame corporations. Personally I used love doing fit tryouts and so on with friends, and guess what... thanx to you I can't even do that with out being a suspect to whole universe now! The chage in this mechanic makes players change their gaming style and adapt to what ccp wants them to adapt for! Totally unacceptable, totally unnecessary... Give me one good idea how i can do tryouts with friends without being a suspect.
3- When I started the game in September last year I was fascinated and absolutely loved it. As time progressed my appreciation started to decline... At 5pm GMT+2 the average number of people on Tranquility was 28k, and today at same time it's still 28k... (you know the numbers better than i do) Do you know why that is? Because you're not making new customers. The number remains the same because you have as many leavers as the joiners. Why change so much of actual game mechanics that people adapt over months and years? Add more ships, do performance tweaks, make better hud or visual appearances... add in more areas like incursions or add more mods. Everyone will love these!!! i mean who wouldn't? it adds in color and difference but why change so much of the basic things people adapt to? If you're not sure what to do take other popular mmo's into account and see what they do... When a patch is release on WoW it's only graphics updates or tweaks and little adjustments... When a massive expansion is released like mist of pandaria, the char level is increased so taht people will simply progress and learn better spells and stuff... They don't just say "oh we decided to remove the vanish spell from the night-elf and add on something that will require you to do this and do that..." it's totally pointless. Having CONSEQUENCES for actions means changing those actions according to the consequence that didn't exist before (or was different).
Please take these into consideration when developing patches because i really like the game and want to feel the same way when i first started after a new patch is released. -¦ find myself watching WoW pvp videos for the last few days because i'm kind of tempted to buy pandaria and continue where i left from in WoW. Please don't make me loose hope in game any more than now. Please adjust your priorities... Please, please, please...
Thank You.

Cayle Deteis wrote:Can you explain the new Bounty system logic?
Everyone putting bounty to anyone.
wtf logic is that?
I thought bounties are consequence of illegal actions,
instead
Could you find yourself with a bounty upon your head (as many pilot since expansion experienced).
Issue is not the prize but why is allowed.
I think there is a need of fixing that.
Security status and crime actions must be connected with this.
Not an open bounty system.....It's crazy
Guys guys... slow down... everybody know's that the new bounty system just simply sucks! The real difference it made was just ruining your portrait that's all... Carebear or not everyone in new eden now has a fixed "WANTED" script written below their portrait. The real issue is the hundreds of billions worth of isk just sitting there as frozen cash for the sake of profit maximizing by ccp. Imagine you put 100m on someones head and they fly around in a regular cruiser... How many times would they have to be killed for that pool to dry up? the real answer is "it will never dry up" it's just good jucy isk sitting there for nothing. CCP made a big pool of "unavailable" money so the isk making scheme became even harder. i had a friend who got 400m stolen from corp wallet by an untrustworthy person... In an attempt to get back some of the money or to make it hard for that person to play freely she put a 100m bounty on his head. What have happened since? totally "NOTHING"... so that's 500m isk now...
Conclusion: THE WORST PATCH EVER TO BE RELEASED IN EVE. |

GallowsCalibrator wrote:DerArt1st wrote:Hi,
i'm not pleased with the latest patch to be honest. Its more like a patch that has broken like 500 things. A small summary:
Overview lagging behind like 3 seconds sometimes.
Playericons doenst get shown correctly. Where are all those bounties / suspects?
Tabs / Overviewsettings borked.
Killrights are shown that are not available and if they cost "0" isk you find yourself 250 Mil. poorer.
You are getting suspect if you are touching anything in wrecks without any need to get it out actually. Touching is enough and you will find yourself suddenly spanked.
Before this patch we had small consentual engagements between players in highsec. Often these were 1vs1 or small fights between corps. It was a nice playground for newer players and these that dont like 0.0 or nullsec. This feature got removed completely without any replacement.
How can i try my fitting / ship with a friend? Should i go to lowsec so i get minus standing for engaging against concordrules or to 0.0 where 15 people can jump on us while we are trying?
Why does taking something out of a can give everybody in the whole system rights to kill you + kill your pod? Its a bit like in medival times. This should lead to a limited engagement between players and not to that suspect **** where u get punished very heavily for a minor crime.
But with that eve would be like prepatch so the question is: why do we have that feature in the first place. Who asked for it?
Is there any reason why i should make myself a suspect at all? Any benefit? The whole crimewatch feature is laughable in my oppinion and should get removed or completely reworked. Why aren't u getting killrights for kills in lowsec but If i shot someone accidently in highsec i get concorded but i also get hunted by players afterwards? Even if nobody died on my accident? Thats well thought out.
CCP: Thats just what i found in 2 days of playing and i really wonder why i should pay you for that stuff. PS: If you want your 1vs1 honor duels, make a safespot, do your thing there, then sit out the timer. Or find a quiet hisec system. Or a quiet losec system. Or anything, really, just quit your whining. Crimewatch and bounty hunting are both good, well needed changes. Edit - Removed troll. ISD Suvetar
What a poor comment from you...
What if we scanned by people while doing our pvp or while at sitting waiting for the time to expire?
What if we keep doing tryouts on a regular basis? do we have to go over the same procedure again?
and how the hell on earth is the bounty system any good? do you think that a guy with a 10b bounty on his head roams around in a carrier? what will you get after popig his cruiser or a BC? a few million out of the bounty pool... and where does justice come in when random people place bounties on random people just for the fun of it... the "wanted" script below portraits just becomes a regularity for everyone... nothing special, nothing effective, just ruins everyones portrait.

2 Questions I have...
1- Is there a way for ccp members to reply for some posts here?
2- If the answer for question one is "yes" then the real question is: WHY ADD A NPC TIMER WHERE IF PLAYERS GET DISCONNECTED IN ANY WAY, THEY LOOSE THEIR SHIPS BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THEY STAY IN SPACE?
WHAT IS THE MAIN LOGIC IN THIS? (if there is any). |

With what I mentioned above and with the current situation where I can't even try out a fit with a friend without even being a suspect for everyone there's a clear difference. I'm also sure people wont mind paying a stable subscription fee to play the game. So if money is the issue for ccp just remove the plex and make it a subscription based game. The lovers and addicts of eve will never mind a few bucks a month as long as they're having unlimited fun. Personally speaking I wont mind paying subscription if I'm not going to worry about in game money and can fight everyone with the risk of killboard profile only.
Anyway that's all buddies... Hope you've liked it. Fly safe...
