Tears from the "HTFU" crowd, best tears.

Well its clear CCP has given up the ghost on the HTFU core that made EvE great, as well as documented in detail here they are now doubling-down on Disneyland with the next patch that has a little more nerfing for the little carebears of hisec buried in the patch notes...

Evidently shooting at mobile tractor units owned by a bear with drones out in aggressive mode will *no longer* cause his drones to attack the agressor.

" Drones that are set to aggressive will no longer perform automatic actions against a target if those actions would trigger a new Limited Engagement, unless explicitly instructed to engage that target."

Why?

Because gosh no you cant expect the little bears to use their brains and the right drone setting, they must be bubble wrapped to prevent an inventive pirate from getting a limited agression on them while they are farming mission sites.

I am really getting disgusted with this water-torture drip of hisec nerfs that keep coming and make it abundantly clear CCP has lost the plot. With each one of these it becomes clear they care more about aquiring WoW reject subs, than retaining mine.

If you want to non-consentually kill mission runners, why not come out to NPC 0.0 where there are hundreds of mission runners waiting for people just like you!

so after 7 pages of thread what we do have here?
1) standard crap from 0.0 publords and wannabees "waaa, waaa. high-sec too safe!"
2) reasonable comments about topic supporting this fix

If you watch forums for some time you will see that these 2 groups are separated. And most of the time you don't need to look at post, you just look at poster and you know already what will he say.

And here is the question to OP: did you really need to make this useless thread? Wasn't lots of them around already?

What was hard about avoiding this anyway?

Anything requiring knowledge of the thing you are doing or a sense of personal responsibility is always too hard for some. Somehow I managed to mission my backside off in Lanngisi while avoiding this problem (because I read actual patch notes), but expecting others to do that is asking to much I guess.

The real sign of becoming a bittervet is when you realize you are mourning the inch by inch loss of the only real adult "thinking required" game that existed.

This particular mechanic seemed to simply take advantage of peoples ignorance. While I agree that in the Age of Information ignorance is a choice, not everyone is reading pages of documentation about the game they're playing.

not long ago, the players within eve were the kind of ppl wondering WHY it is required for chainsaw manufacturers to display on their products" DON'T TRY TO STOP THE BLADE BY HAND", asking themselves who would think it would be a good idea to even think trying that.

now, they ASK CCP to actually put labels everywhere, like on the chainsaw, or a "may contain peanuts" on a jar of peanut butter....

pathetic....

we used to have a game with darwinism built in...used to...

I'm with you brother. Like how now EVERY car commercial I see has these little disclaimers about "professional stunt person on a closed track, do not attempt" lol. Well duh.

It's like a cancer (pansy cancer) spreading everywhere, even into what was the most hard core MMO game I've ever played.

For example, If you'd told me in 2007 that one day my "thousands of years in the future, controlled by direct input from my BRAIN, faster than light capable star ship" would have a manual safety I'd have laughed you off the server.

Not laughing any more.

Perhaps Eve is no longer for you. Clearly, you gain far more enjoyment bitching and whining about the game on the forums than playing.

I would recommend you shut down all your accounts, save one, and then you can ***** and moan all you like here, while saving yourself all the pain and suffering the game itself brings you.

lucky me, i fly matar ships, only buttons i have are "faster forward", "fire" and "overheat ALL the things (but mostly the guns)"

Oh no you cant use CONCORD to gank your precious mission runners now.

MoAr TeArS...I MUST HAVE MORE

(Cold dark place, remember?)

LOL

That's like the pot calling the kettle metallic.


Or, i can fight for the Restoration of EVE. I hear Malcanis decided to not run for CSM again...now there's an Idea.

I know I can count on your vote brother, right?

Funnily enough, Malcanis asked me if I was considering running, and I was counting on you to run my campaign.

I'd love to run your campaign (I had the phone bank set up to call New Order pilots for their support), but I can't , I got secret Nulluminati meetings scheduled for the next few months. On the agenda is how to use the Empire Navy LP we will be drowning in to buy up all the armor mods so as to kill high sec the armor incursion once and for all seeing as our manipulaton of CCP to change your paladin only hurt them but didn't kill them.

At the next meeting (we'll meet in I'll ask Mittani to assign you a Goon as chief of staff so you can get on the CSM.

For me there is a simple question that can be applied to every change CCP proposes, that either validates its roots or rips them up in pursuit of WoW-reject subs....

"Does the proposed change increase opportunities for conflict, or reduce them?"

(Cold dark place, remember?)

So, does this bubble wrapping of drone aggression for the little carebears who already have a 'passive' drone setting at their disposal increase or reduce opportunities for conflict?

No, it reduces conflict, in such a blatant way contrasted with the existing 'passive' setting protections that it is clearly just yet another road sign on the road to nerfdom.

CCP has lost the plot.

People used to joke about needing a safety button on their guns....
