So you don't deny it.

We are not here to make fun for you. We are here to make life as miserable as possible and we are succeeding. Life for the russians is miserable.

RUSRUS declared war on us, goons came into help them. I am very mixed at goons not deploying supers, on one hand I would love to kill them, but on the other hand by not deploying them they get no experience in flying / FCing them. Allows us to keep super cap dominance with out ever really having to deploy them

The current state of nullsec warfare looks like countless fuN!!!!11111

It is more like blobs online. That is the true killer.

So until there are blobs Archons and their drones are just fine because is the only way to counter them.

And how about when there are blobs of Archons?

That is a looong way to go. But if that happens than ofc nerf whatever the blob is flying. If not, the game dies.

And to Gary. Yeah sure Russians + CFC vs N3 and PL equal numbers. It is like 2-3 x times bigger.
In last 2 wars you sided with CFC (against TEST and now against N3). Blobbers!
In this war there were from the beggining RAZOR and CFC bomber wings.
You also dont hesitate to drop 50+ dreads on every little skirmish that happens in lowsec. IMO if you nerf Archons and sentries than nerf Dreads so they shouldn't even be able lock anything smaller than a BS.

Stop being a hypocrite.

See that is just being flat dumb... They were matching subcap numbers for weeks.. Then when we actually get evenish numbers they switch to all caps..

They were literally dropping 3 full fleets on BL everytime we farted for like 2 months.. Now oh noes you blob us.. cfc blob.. grr..

The real issue is they got tired of retraining subsystem skills and decided to play slowcats online..

Have you ever really compared the numbers of the 2 blocks fighting .. There alot closer then you think

Didn't PL/NC. outblob solar out of their space?
Don't PL/NC. outblob anyone with caps/supers?
Don't Nulli outblob BL fleets?
Don't Goons outblob pretty much everyone?

Just because you are outnumbered, doesn't mean you have to grind the fights to a halt.
It's not like there's anything else to do... one blue donut has to fight the other blue donut.

Nulli, SOLAR, and DoD are the model alliances IMO. If all null alliances would have their mentality EVE would be amazing. It is not always about winning.

Yea, you heard it h ere first, N3 is almost as large as the CFC.....everything in this post is as true as that fact.

Drones don't need to be nerfed. Massive fleet sizes need to be nerfed.

There needs to be a maximum 100 members pet entire fleet, no higher.
Perhaps an even harsher punishment for blobbing, by preventing the use of friendly remote effects to anybody except those in your fleet. That means each fleet needs its own logistics, and cannot use any other fleet's logistics.

Force the use of more FCs, rather than more "Wing/Squad Commanders".

Drone assist however can be changed to only allow assisting to the Squad Commander or other squad mates.

Blobbing could easily be remedied by adding more AoE to the game. The old doomsdays made Titans the end-all to blobs.

I still don't get why those were removed...

Grath honestly you know as well as I do that you guys can field the same numbers you just choose not to because you have your trump card..

And do I really need to start linking killboard fights where we were killing nulli canes in munnins and you guys drop a prot fleet and then insidious shows up in there brutix fleet.. All to dogpile us..

I agree with some of what you said about drones but honestly dont play dumb

Yeah give AOE DDs to titans and watch N3/PL not field a single subcap ever again :D
Actually I'd like to see that... once.

I really don't care who wins and who loses.
I just care about having fun and abusing the **** out of the drone mechanic doesn't make the experience fun :(
The tidi is ridiculous, so is the lack of kills in long-hour fights.

No fun allowed :(

Is that why N3PL uses slowcats even when numbers are 1:1 ?

Again you seem to spout more incorrect information without having addressed the previous wrong information you provided.
But I'll retort anyway:

Quite a few fights have been 1:1 and you still drop slowcats.
Quite a few battles could have been 1:1 if you guys didn't just drop slowcats+ some inties/bombers.

So basically what you're saying is that you find it justified that one side can stop the opponent by basically fielding so many caps/scaps that they either kill the enemy or bring down the node? Withthat last outcome basically stopping every other possibility of happening. Is that what you're saying?

Oh noes....sentry drones, everywhere!!!

We can't figure out a way to beat that without giving up our F1 drones!!!

CCP can we haz Archon nerf?

No one's allowed to beat us!

It's going to be fun after that dread fleet gets owned from ~tactics~ that doesn't involve backdoor SOV drops. I wonder if EVEbet will take a bet on what CFC alliance changes sides first...

Introduce a game mechanic that allows for the possibility of ships not jumping, or jumping to a random system 1-3 systems away from the target, or even the complete destruction of the ship.

The more ships that jump, combined with a mass variable, the higher the chance that something bad happens when there is a fleet jumped. And the more ships in a system, the higher the odds of something bad happening also goes up.

You jump 100 BS's, nothing happens.
You jump 100 supercarriers, a 3% chance per ship of it not jumping, a 2% chance of it jumping to the wrong system, and a 1% chance of utter destruction.

Also, add in 1 hour cooldown timers for ANY ship that is jumped using a Titan cyno, and all supercaps have the same 1 hour cooldown timer.

By no means am I a vet in this game.....

But it seems to me the problem is the Larger Ship hulls in this game such as Carriers, Titans etc. So much tank whilst having so many drones can only promote stale game play especially when X amount of pilots in the blob are taking orders from 1 person. Also, it's been mentioned a few times in this thread that these fights last for so many hours with only a few losses. (3 - 5 Archon losses in 4 hours is a bit..... well too drawn out)

IMO, a solution needs to be implemented that will try to break these blobs into much smaller numbers, thus promoting greater strategic game play (not just we all follow order from one person and press F1). Whatever that solution may be I have no idea and this is why we have game developers. But the quick fix to it now , is just delete these hulls from the game or convert them into industrial ships only.

Meh, my 2 cents worth....

There's a counter to subcap blobs, there isn't one to capital blobs.

Hello CCP

(That's why we need a bomber with capital weapons \o/ !!)

Because Nags are countered by titans and guess who wins number wise there.

I am not saying the current system would be good if you just removed timers and kept everything else the same.

I am saying that the reason people blob to the max, is specifically because of timers.

Unsupported dreads in a hostile system belonging to the people with the largest super/titan fleet in all of New Eden sounds like the perfect plan.

without timers you would simply shift the control from defender towards the attacker. why do you think this would diminish blobbing?

Are you seriously asking this question or is that a joke?

Try to remember back to your school days when there was a) a spontaneous punch up in the cafeteria and b) a Meet You At The [insert convenient beating up place] after school.

Obviously any X time and X Place setup is going to get lots more blobbier than a spontaneous fight ffs. Its not rocket science...
