d026 Rapid Withdrawal 0	Posted - 2015.01.03 10:19:57 - [1] - Quote I quit eve a couple years ago because 0.0 combat was just so out of order that it was no longer fun. It was just a horrid buggy lag fest. Ccp seemed to introduce some mechanics to prevent big blobs such as cap ships can't jump from one end of the map to he other. Was this enough? How is 0.0 combat these days?

So the change was rather successful in that respect. "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his ISK/hr depends upon his not understanding it!"
Yarda Black Militaris Industries Northern Coalition. 503	Posted - 2015.01.03 11:03:36 - [6] - Quote Based on your post I am under the impression you think 0.0 combat is no fun due to lag. That hasn't changed. It is now called Time Dilation and kicks in every time you jump a reasonably sized fleet through a gate. The game slows down instead of simply stopping to respond. I consider it an improvement. But in all honesty, I do not believe you would call it that. So my answer would be: The same

Hal Morsh Icendus Corux 240	Posted - 2015.01.03 18:54:37 - [10] - Quote Well a few months back it was. You bring a 30 cruiser defense fleet to defend lowsec customs office, and 30 PL dreads would show up in the middle of the fight". Dunno if that's changed... but. I've never been in null, as far as I hear they are likely to just take whatever they can in an offer to haul it for you, then gank you a few times. CCP - Outpost code is scary.

Nullsec isn't stagnant or stale any more because that's what it was 3 years ago.....it is rotten now. As for all sorts of battles raging all the time, that was lowsec and NPC null but now the maggots(failed alliances) emerging from null with supercap fleets that are too easy to move away from the "danger" of nullsec are ruining lowsec and NPC null so highsec and FW lowsec are the only places left with battles raging all the time.

The "maggots" fight each other and invade SOV holders so they probably have some fun, I guess. Lexia Nova wrote: That's disheartening.

There are always fights going and there is SOV changing hands. Brave would be the easiest to join and get something to do. My bloc runs fleets almost all the time and there is quite a mix of doctrines but the enemies you face aren't very diverse I would have recommended worm holes before frigate holes and recon changes but now that will only be any good for large corps and medium to large alliances. Ergo, they are becoming a waste land like low sec. CSM Ten movement for change. CCP - Building ant hills and magnifying glasses for fat kids. Status: Rabid carebear Blog

How is 0.0 combat these days? As far and bugs and lag go it is pretty good these days, unless you consider tidi lag. It's Tengu and Ishtar only at this point though. Battleship and battle cruiser are too slow. A T3 nerf is on the way though. It's still blobs alpha vs. Reps. Very boring. Carriers are still broken.
Artemis Scat Inertia Mining Industries 29	Posted - 2015.01.04 00:34:17 - [19] - Quote Catch is pretty fun right now with Test/Brave+a few others seeing action usually 1-3 times daily from PL, Nulli Secunda, The Kadeshi or BL. It seems far from dead in that area in my opinion. Maybe the the reason the forum-pioneers see stagnant space (though the term is somewhat of a paradox), is because they live in renter 0.0 where it is a bit like a strip club, you pay to get blue-balled.
Amyclas Amatin SUNDERING Goonswarm Federation 565	Posted - 2015.01.04 05:06:05 - [20] - Quote Approach this way: it is not about how fun the lagfest actually is - but it is about what will motivate you to endure it.

Sugar Smacks State War Academy Caldari State 15	Posted - 2015.01.04 05:53:25 - [21] - Quote If you disliked lag then you will absolutely hate time dilation. Not only will this single "mechanic" allow the entire universe to participate in any reasonably sized fight. It also makes EvE look bad. I still do not see how people enjoy a fight where they can literally go the bathroom in the middle of it but hey good for you. The very worst of it is it doesn't even seem to be monitored, you can get just as bad tidi for 700 pilots as 2500. Furthermore, the people in charge don't seem to understand when you allow capitals to use gates (thats new), and slow down fights with time dilation, they are basically feeding all the largest alliances into a ruling party. If time dilation were even close to real we would all still be watching the 7000th hour of star wars. Imagine one day where fights dont drag on for HOURS AND HOURS and actual decision making second by second mattered. This is not the EvE reality however and makes watcing it just as boring as playing it.

Maybe the the reason the forum-pioneers see stagnant space (though the term is somewhat of a paradox), is because they live in renter 0.0 where it is a bit like a strip club, you pay to get blue-balled. 0.0 renter space is not null, it's a form of highsec somebody is dumb enough to pay somebody else for. Also can be a great place to get shiny kills, as nullbears often seem to be woefully unprepared for actual PVP. If you live in null and see it as stagnant, you are doing it wrong. Personally, I wonder sometimes if a lot of these posters are playing the same game I am...I get in fights pretty much every day, win some, lose some and I live in null. Maybe because I fly with folks who are there looking for fights and are willing to fly around and find them and don't mind losing. It's a game, see...and it's more fun if you are actually playing. If you don't like lag...don't go plodding into big fleet fights with the rest of the F1 lemmings. If big fleet fights are your thing, learn to enjoy all the things that come with them...including TiDi/lag. Find a niche where you can play the way you want to and hang out with people who want to do the same. Seek and ye shall find. *"When the going gets weird, the weird turn professional."* - Hunter S.

I thought, or should I say, I assumed null sec was full of all sorts of battles raging all the time. Are you guys saying null sec is stagnant and or stale? It's better than it was but due to the complete inability of fozzy or rise to balance ships for anything other than small gang PvP, null is dominated by Ishtars. That led to Tengus as the hard counter and the ease of which bombers can be used has killed off BS fleets for most people. Only a few people now use them and they're faction BS with faction fit. Chances are you'll join an alliance and just fly Ishtars.

It's been like that since I joined, people tell you different because as they are 0.0 pvp players and they got told years ago that was end content and they don't want to realise it's no different from being a high-sec miner. There are still vast swathes of 0.0 you can quite happily farm seeing no one for hours. Time dilation is just a sticking plaster over a reoccurring wound.

Jenn aSide Smokin Aces. 9290	Posted - 2015.01.05 13:22:06 - [36] - Quote To the OP: Null sec is fine, the problem is people's perceptions and biases (a good half or more of the people replying to you haven't 'lived' in null for years, many might have dipped a toe in once sometime in 2008 and then formed an opinion about the Ocean from one dipped toe). Null is what it's always been: lawless space dominated by organized group of players. Mafia land in space. There is plenty to do there, plenty to kill if that's your thing, plenty of stuff to make money off of (if you live there but it's also fun and profitable to 'ninja') and if you like big fights rather than 'just' roaming around that's available too. It really depends on your personality as a player, some people are better suited to wormholes ('aka' nullsec on hard mode), or lowsec (or FW) or high sec or npc null (aka 'null-lite'). Null doesn't (and never has) lived up to some people's unreasonable expectations, and for others it doesn't meet their specific personal gaming needs (you usually find these types in low sec conducting gate camp #419, 524,867 while proclaiming how 'stagnant' null sec is lol). But the truth is that if you're mentally cut out to be able to deal with the specific hassles, politics and profits of the place, null is a blast (in this way it's a microcosm of EVE itself, not for everyone, but kick ass if it's for you).. It remains my favorite part of EVE.

I remember being in a big fight and having my guns cycle exactly ONCE every 45 minutes. And I'm not the only one, Pepperidge farms remembers too. TiDi is about a billion times better than that. Not saying it's great, but given the technological limits CCP is faced with, it's as good as can be expected right now. When the TiDi haters can come up with and produce something that they built themselves that actually works I'll listen to what they have to say.

I don't get paid by CCP last time I checked? Tidi should be seen as a temp fix not a permanent fix just because it's "not great but better than before" Whilst people look back and say this then CCP will never feel to need to really delve into it. Personally it annoys the hell out of me as my system is in TIDI because someone who isn't a part of my corp or alliance in a system 15 jumps away has decided to fight with someone else I don't have anything to do with or care about. Personally I'd rather just have my client crash than be forced to endure a 30 minute warp because at the end of it you still can't do sod all. God Said "Come Forth and receive eternal life!"

Not saying it's great, but given the technological limits CCP is faced with, it's as good as can be expected right now. When the TiDi haters can come up with and produce something that they built themselves that actually works I'll listen to what they have to say. First titans no longer kill multiple ships with a doomsday. Just one. The point i am trying to make here is this should be the priority fix for this game. Even though tidi offers a better experience it still does not perform the experience people wish to have in the first place. It is not acceptable to use something because its better than it could be, that is not "fixed". This should be on the plate to fix until its no longer needed, reduce lag, reduce tidi, stop making it so the whole universe can participate in any fight over 100 people. For gods sake why would anyone want to go to null other than for the big fights? Almost all the content there is in wormhole space, so people come there for a reason. Only to find in the end its not enjoyable, it lacks substance, and its awful hard to make a mistake when you had 2 hours to discuss it. This kind of "progress" just leads to zerg mentality as it will be the deciding factor when you have hours to get there.
