When your in a big or even medium scale battle it is a rush.

Watching a video does not get close.

and moved much faster if it was in null with all the DD's going off.

AOE ones

The fight would have been much more interesting, and moved much faster if it was in null with all the DD's going off.

Thirded :P

I had always long to be in a titan or supercarrier that in fact was my final end game goal to the point that if I had the isk I could run either right now......
After watching the giant battle I was realized just how boring that would be...

I just watched one of the most boring battles ive seen in awhile which is a shame because it could have, should been so much more.

You had over 500 CAPITALS on the field at once. 15 titans, 182 supers, 250+ carriers, 100+ dreads, and over 500 subcaps on the same grid....
Instead of being a glorious battle it was a slow moving blob....
FC calls target... everyone fires at target x super//carrier//dread. Ship dies. Next target in line gets killed.
Even without the TiDi at 10% I don't think it would have been that much better....

Where's the tactics, the excitement, the enjoyment of a big capital space battle???
After seeing what actually happens when you have an amount of isk that in real world dollars could easily buy a fairly nice car that took years of total player time to build you can have it....

I just can't see the fun in flying a super or titan anymore....

Side Note: Alt.... I am quite happy in null sec currently doing skirmishes..

As a super pilot in that battle, it was a blast. You're welcome to stay in hisec though, feel free.

Quite frankly, watching any sort of eve combat you're not involved in is boring (the alliance tournament might squeak past since they try really hard to make it interesting) that's why they don't use actual gameplay in any of their eve ads.

Eve doesn't have any fixed end game, and you haven't been paying attention if you think that getting into a supercap is it.

Wow, you are easily entertained.
You do you enjoy watching paint dry as well?

Why don't you just go save the damsel for the 7437th time, so you can affort to officer fit your Caldari Navy Raven, so you can go save the damsel faster the 7438th time.

there are people whos main fun of game is watching "ISK destroyed" on killboard.

normal people will never understand them.

PS: in 0.0 blob wars "ISK destroyed" is the most exiting thing about battle.

To be frank after watching this supposed "epic" clash made me want save the Damsel for the 7439th time compared to engaging in large fleet battles in low / null sec. How could you be remotely satisfied with the fight? You been **** on that much, friend?

All I could think when watching was....really??

Also, no one wants to lose a super, it is humiliating no matter how good you fight. So you see, there is alot at stake when you fly a super, and you will be VERY eager to NOT lose it in a stupid or even glorious way.

There is skill in flying a super, especially in a blob? Do tell...

Well, have fun in safe(ish) boring highsec, where everything is predictable. How could you be remotely satisfied with that? You been **** on that much, friend?

I just can't see the fun in flying a super or titan anymore....

Hey man, if you're the kinda guy who likes sitting in a blob of capital ships while watching your modules flash for hours hoping you actually do something, power to ya!

I guess we all find different things entertaining. For me I like combat.

Anyways logging off for now. Next time you have one of these epic encounters don't bother waking me up. I got better things to do like...keeping my eyes shut.

So let me get this straight: So some high sec people ar ein this thread commenting about how "boring" a big huge epic supercapital fight was.

The same people that constantly tell us that "we" ruined null sec because everyone (especially huge groups like Goons and TEST) are "blue to everyone" and that null sec is so empty because no fights ever happen there etc etc.


High Sec people....



The same people who defend AFK MINING and and other super boring activities and who can't be bnother to risk so much as a rifter outside of the protective skirts of CONCORD are in this thread looking down on people who (in te finest EVE tradition) risked ships litterally worth 10s or 100s of thousands of real dollars....


If you ever want to know why I and others like me dispise the average "high sec/carebar/solo player" and wish they all GB2WoW, this thread is a very good point of reference.

What he said.

I think it is a bit harsh to say "there are no tactics in supercapital fights" - especially with this being in low-sec.

the battle was all about clearing HICs, getting supers/titans capped up and timing ECM bursts.

wish i had been in on it, don't have the isk or the connex though, i'm too a point where everything i can do in eve with a few billion isk bores me, the problem is that i don't have many billions of isk to do something entertaining, i'm starting to see how people eventually quit EVE.. even if i did have the isk, i'd probably just get disconnected and lose my super

This is why NPC corps shouldn't be allowed to post.

But that would eliminate three-fourths of the nulsec players that are afraid to post with their mains...

Also Bubbles to make everyone stick around.

Anyway, I had quite a bit of fun whoring on Caps and Titans in my bomber.

Poker is such a boring game. All the players do is put money on a table and flip cards. How droll.

You ain't ever played poker at my house apparently.

The videos do not capture the intricacies in a large fleet battle. In these heavily TiDi situations, pilots are presented with a host of unique problems. Under heavy TiDi, a few seconds of delay easily becomes minutes of delay. Each mistake you make can take minutes to correct (e.g. deploying sentries instead of fighters, switching targets). In normal small gang combat, you can make a decision and, within seconds, measure the result to make adjustments. In these fleet battles, minutes will pass before you can even start to observe the results, all the time realizing that reinforcements are on their way unencumbered by TiDi. You can't dilly-dally. And you can't afford to make mistakes.

Well, not all of us 'Hisec' folk found it boring. Some of these people will whine regardless of what sec they are in.

I have never really understood the fascination with supercaps, its like being tied to a chair made out of diamonds, what possible fun could that be

High Sec people.....

You're right of course, there are haters everywhere, not just in high sec (and we know they are only a crazy fringe of high sec, not nearly everyone). It just boggles my mind that these vocal high sec based haters are so warped that they could look at the best, most epic part of EVE Online and find a way to crap on it.

Perhaps they are simply jealous (because nothing THEY will ever do will make real world news) , but whether it is that or something only a real life psychologist would be helpful for, it's still absolutely crazy.

Go to youtube, type in "Rooks and Kings" and watch the videos. Then say cap combat is boring.

So tell me how all these hi-sec players prevented you from having fun.

Or is it the fact contrary opinions to your world view make you mad?

Snip

I'm just calling it like i see it. it is the op who ignorantly asks "Where's the tactics, the excitement, the enjoyment of a big capital space battle???", injecting his own preconceived notions of fun on the matter. A matter that he obviously didn't even participate in.

And yet I don't see you asking HIM "what all those pvp'rs did to prevent him from having fun".....

The kind of double standard you just displayed is typical of the high sec based haters of which I speak.

Contrary opinions are fine, stupid ones are not.

So you let stupid people make you mad.

I don't know. I've read a lot on the forums and in these hi-sec vs other-sec threads you seem to be pretty vigilant on how hi-sec ruins the game. Its as if everytime someone in hi-sec earns isk, you act its like the banjo music from Delieverence starts playing and miners come out of the wood work to have their way with you.

It something that seems to eat you up inside and can't let it slide. You have to punch the keys!

I know I post a lot and when I do I type a lot (mostly useless stuff) but I don't go around letting people get me angry all the time.

Being so mad all the time can't be healthy.

I just watched one of the most boring battles ive seen in awhile which is a shame because it could have, should been so much more

My advice to the OP would still be the same, mainly because RnK vids feature some of the most important bits to capture what OP found lacking (sense of Tactics, excitement etc.), and that is voice comms. With Tidi and a sped up video that becomes impossible ofc.
.

Wow, you are easily entertained.

Some of us aren't that interested in sub cap fights. I understand why some people like small frigate fights and such but personally sub cap fights bore me.

goona put my grain of sand here, well the battle sounds like fun 6000+ guys in local, but most part of them blues sh*tting each other with their capital ships.

to be honest, i dream to have my own cap, but seeing more big ships than small or medium sized ones just doesnt feel like combat, i mean.

im used to the philosophy of fighters vs caps, or more realistic planes vs battleships. so it looks a bit weird to see such blob on the battlefield, without organization, this adding that these ships are slow has hell that they practically arent moving.

also, the effort that has to put the server in mantaining the battle without going down, and the number of players which doesnt allow to see sh*t on the screen, you have to see the battle from far away.

dont want to discourage cap pilots, but man, i was expecting something more, you know, dinamic (at least in terms of what dinamic means in EVE)

Then tell me and any one else who was like me why???
I am not asking that sarcastically im serious, what am I missing???
