Part of the Loki engine had fallen off during its V3 upgrade and has been *duck* taped back on

That way the EVE Calculator would be offering something that the operating system's calculator would not offer.

This is true, but you forgot a few more:

• Don't forget the browser, all OS's have one of those.
• Oh and then there's the in-game mail. We all have email.
• Eve Voice? Why the **** did you keep that CCP? TS and vent work just fine, right?
• Don't even get me started on the in-game chat channels. Do they not have IRQ, AIM or Yahoo in Iceland?
• A star map? I have a paper one, don't need no fancy-shmancy in game map sonny-boy.
• And what's with this "assets" list. Ain't you boys ever heard of a pencil and a pad of paper?
• People and places? I know who my friends are & I don't need you telling me where life has taken me or where to go sister!
• A wallet? Please. Ever heard of Quicken?
• A Journal? Seriously? What are we? A bunch of 14 year old girls with a crush and a bad case of teenaged angst?

CCP: All these fancy features can be had out of game, keeping them in game is a total waste of your programming skills.....

If I wanted to suck up more bandwidth by streaming music, I would. If I liked flipping between diff programs when I wanted to hear a diff song, I would. Thanks for making things more difficult.


Now, getting to some other issues.

1st and foremost:
Jack' Sparrow, you're far too nice in your response to a DEV getting his panties in a twist.

CCP Explorer: Ref message 536, 705, 708 & 713, : How about not being a total jerk there Francis? You wanted feedback, you ASKED for feedback. So now you're getting it. If you don't like it, or don't want it, then why ask for it?

Jack made what a large number of fellow players consider to be a valid point: Pulling the jukebox was stupid.
You shot back with a load of crap basically threatening future changes in response?
If the legacy code is an issue: TAKE IT OUT AND THEN REPLACE IT WITH NEW CODE.

You said "time that might be better spent on something else" Like what? More sounds we can't disable? Limiting HM's to a 20km range? Less drone HP to go with all the aggro?
Your own Team Klang (great name for what most of the noises actually sound like, btw) DevBlog stated they thought it would be controversial. Boy is it ever. But now you don't want to hear about it. Try listening to your customers instead of defending a decision your team KNEW was going to be unpopular.

Heavy missiles pretty much suck now. You royally screwed them. Maxed out skills and less than 80km?? And explosion velocity less than an unladen African swallow? WTF, over? We can launch guided missiles through the atmosphere farther than EVE apparently can through the vacuum of space.....

If you only want Amarr/Winmatar battles, then get rid of the other races. Missiles are supposed to be the caldari mainstay, yet you nerf them to hell and gone. Same with the Frogs and their drones. Seriously: Just limit PvP to laser light shows and golden BB's if that's what you're going for....

Having to always turn off the safety after every session change? Seriously?? A little warning that you are exiting station with safety off would be one thing, but again: After EVERY session change? Coming to you live in fleet comms across New Eden: "Jump on contact, primary is _____, spread points, and don't forget to disengage your safeties"

Station sounds: Again, let me state this very clearly: YOUR STATION SOUNDS SUCK. Do you copy, over? Give us a way to mute them, and all the other annoying crap sounds you just added.

Salvaging a wreck sounds a lot like the Titanic hitting an iceberg. Did the world just freaking end or did I get a few rig parts?

Targeting rings and the RROD blobs. Can we shrink them down just a smidge? Like maybe to something a little smaller than a Brooklyn-style pizza maybe?

Overly loud kill sounds: Why do I hear these sounds through the void of space? But lets say it makes sense for a moment and consider this: His whole world just ended, not mine. You needn't turn my eardrums into bloody pulp for killing a ship 70km away with massively loud announcement. The purrty explosion did that just fine, thanks.

Love it!




The point? To make you buy a few PLEX. They're on sale now. Co-winkydink......?

No, they're working as intended. Have you read their stats? What are your salvaging skills? Salvage drones are not intended to replace salvagers, and one drone with level 1 skill has only a 2% chance of successful salvage - on a Shadow (faction) wreck, that's as good as zero.

everything is nice and smooth from my perspective, other then jump drive sound.

First time i undocked and jumped my JF i almost shat myself as the sound is so close to the old "shield/armor/structure hp low" emergency sound.

Every single jump after first... i still get that split second "omg imma get fkd" feeling. After a second i know its just the new sound but it moves me too much anyway :>

Don't worry, you get used to it. I quite like the new warp sounds, actually, that noise it makes coming out of warp is sort of like a little alarm to say "get ready, you're about to die".

- Retribution also introduced a hard-limit on the number of bookmark copies allowed over an unspecified period of time (copy them faster and you'll get an error message telling you to wait between 1-10 seconds before trying again)
- The above-mentioned feature is broken - if you get the error message you can no longer copy any bookmarks anywhere until you relog

Please post with your CCP character or HTFU. Thx bye.

Would you actually bother to NOT post when you have nothing to contribute? All your posts in this thread are more or less nonsense dribble. Pretty please?

New Drone AI. 2 important points to make.

2) I've seen a few posts from wh-ers and other smart people saying stuff like "learn to manage aggro" and "wh-ers have no problem dealing with it". There is an existing bug in the new AI programming which by launching drones, letting them take aggro, recalling, letting ship get aggro again then relaunching drones (or some such shenanigans) the drones will then NOT be targeted again. The same happens in Whs - with the right sequence (foxfour confirmed this). So the way to beat the AI is to utilise an existing bug which was knowingly released in this expansion. That says a lot about the design in that we are advised to use a known bug to overcome the new AI. Plus what is going to happen when this bug gets fixed?

If your intention was to make PVE a fleet issue thing and that you basically want to push people away from solo play then come out and say it. At least then people can make their minds up about whether the game is moving away from what they get out of EVE and can consider their options accordingly.

They haven't been fine in the last 8 years, there have been regular issues.

I'de still like to get an answer from CCP about the auto salvage functionality on the salvage drones.


Is it intentional that it only works for wreaks you killed ? (It will not automatically salvage fleet/corp or even blue wreaks)


In other words - Should I be training Salvage Drones V on my noctis pilot or not?

We are aware of some issues on the auto salvage and are working on some fixes for that.

The WH guys defending the new AI in missions would surely accept that their "missions" would be nerfed to the same level of rewards as ours.

Right?

the only responce from dev's are about the f%^&*"g Calculator. thx dev's

man up guys drone boats for ratting are dead...all drone boat pilots are going to be really poor...i would recomend you start skilling up another way to make isk.. and pray that it will not get nerf'd on the next patch...

but having to rat for 5 hous to buy and fit a bs really sucks bad and tbo.. not a good game.oh wait i can buy a plex for real $$$ and sell it in jita

99% grind 1%fun ....

you can all thank the the bots/ jita bots/alliance leaders and they're moon goo.incursions..Wh space...ccp for this crap
ccp are as bad as the uk government... allways **** the little guy over


tengu is to good...hmm nurf... **** now the loki is to good.. we can work on the nerf for that on next patch......lol nerf nerf nerf...

why have skills??? what is the point in training to lv5

No. The whole purpose of WHs is higher risk and higher reward. You think lvl4 AI is hard? You really haven't fought the sleepers yet.

I hate this new expansion ive been doing level 4 missoins i used to be able to do them solo can no longer do that anymore my drones get ripped apart by the new upgraded AI the npc's are now as hard as sleeper drones ive found the same problem doing exploration sites as well what used to take 15 or 20 mins to do a site now takes over an hour and the pay off isnt even worth doing the sites im a pretty good drake pilot and im not happy with the drones getting teared up and the npc's repping faster than i can kill them i like fighting solo and i cant really do that anymore i dont want to have to be in a group just to play this game im seriously thinking about not playing anymore

Market

The scroll for an input field will now work when the mouse cursor is within the boundaries of the window as opposed to the boundaries of the input field.

Well i guess it's time to move to WH space or null sec for you... Either that or run lvl 4's in a BS like they were meant to be run

Wowzers there are some care bear tears in here.

First of all. The Hurricane needed a nerf along with HML's which were way over powered. The Hurricane is still a very good ship. The Drake is also excellent and falls in line with the other BC's.

Second. PvE in EvE is evolving. It needs to otherwise content becomes stale. PvE is to become more like PvP and crying about these changes to NPC AI is rediculous. Adapt or die. You can still use drones just manage them properly. I don't struggle so why do you? Also, why not take some risks to make money and leave hi sec?

Third. Sound FX being poor. I agree that sound FX may be poor in some cases.

and last. Where were all you whining wingebots when all this stuff was on the test server and all the dev blogs, dev forum threads and news and testing and feedback was going on? If you can't be bothered to keep up and then wet your nappies when D-Day happens then you'll get no sympathy from me. If you want sympathy it's in the dictionary. Somewhere between shite and syphilis.
