Tiddle Jr Galvanized Inc. 88	Posted - 2015.04.01 06:27:40 - [1] - Quote Sandbox itself remain the same size which originaly built. But population of kindrgarden was growing in numbers geometrically. CCP is trying to juggle with meta and lil objects adding into a sandbox. So the problem remain the same - does sandbox ready to be turned into a desert?

Being forced into 4 hour windows of attack defend each day. I also dislike how the ship 'rebalancing' has led to a situation where there is basically only one or two ways to correctly fit each ship due to the extremely specific roles/bonuses/slots/etc. You can often guess how a ship is going to be fit now, there isn't a lot of guesswork except for in the case of T3s. Players use a new tactic like Skynet? Completely nerf supers and carriers into the ground, remove delegation because whiny players need their risk adverse hands held instead of figuring out how to win on their own. I have unsubbed 7 accounts so far with the gametime left on this last one expiring shortly. Hope you guys like playing with less and less people. Sounds like you won't be using your stuff in the near future. If so, I promise to make use of it and offer myself as someone who will put your assets to good use. Please contract at your leisure and convenience. I've got 40 Billion in ISK and about 200 Billion in assets. I promise the day I quit, I will biomass ALL my characters with everything I own. No one gets a bloody thing... On another note CCP Falcons speech sounds like nothing more than a marketing effort. All the people who insist on crapping with the "adapt or quit" stupidity don't seem to understand things really aren't so great... Regardless of the empty quotation about EVE being the savior of the gaming world and the best game ever, etc, etc, etc, the fact is there are other games out there to play...I really like playing EVE...but it really seems like someone at CCP wants to drive it into the ground...and I don't understand why??? All true except biomassing without give away. Where do you think all yuor isk and assets go? Exactly all those go to CCP. Please don't do that.

EVE is, to a certain extent, a sandbox MMO, also undeniable. Players are given potential to do things, according to EULA, and CCP's state of mind as an administrator. It's arguable that CCP has the power to ruin the sandbox. BUT the main contributor of things changes in the sandbox comes from the players. So, whenever you started worrying about the state of the game, do something. As a part of the universe, you really can make some move to shape the universe. It's not only about advertisement from the trailer or website, don't underestimate your potential to shape it. If you want EVE to be great, you want more players? Be proactive in promoting the game around the internet then. Be friendly, be helpful in attracting new players to come and join the family. CCP obviously is aware of the game, they have all the metrics and it's income-related. But as a player, you don't want the game shrinks. After all, do something. That's only works if CCP as a Creator of this game do care of listen what sanboxers are all loud. If everyone start rising their hands as come up with - i want this and i want those and the guy behind me is sux and all his ideas as well here my fella and we are cool and all our ideas as well.
Tiddle Jr Galvanized Inc. 88	Posted - 2015.04.02 06:59:42 - [5] - Quote Grinding stuctures is a part of null life you know that shouldn't be a surprise. But CFC is only holds about 45% of current sov map. And never tend to spread cover 100%. GSF got much wider angle and pov about this game than many others. Good example what happening with BNI at the moment.
Tiddle Jr Galvanized Inc. 88	Posted - 2015.04.02 11:41:36 - [6] - Quote Why do care if null sec will burn in hell? Let it be. It was way to long where all those major coalitions became fat and lazy at here warm and calm null HQ's.

Hey, whatever you have to do to make the experience bearable! EVE IS DYING. Only in your head...EVE will be here for a long, long time, but not in a galaxy far, far away Even though I am not a null sec dweller, it's clear to every player that it has become muddy. It needs to stir a little bit, let some "fresh air" in. We've had like what? One big fight over one year? Alliances stockpiling supplies, even those 10T loss was probably quickly rebuilt. Why do you think people prefer to stay in high sec - we now have more wars, alliances like RvB who wanna have a decent PvP in small scale (yes low sec counts in of course), more gankers than ever...People prefer to stay in High sec (unless you are part of the big coalitions) and looks like it wasn't what CCP had in mind, so they are the ones who are going to stir the water. They've waited long enough for something to happen. Null sec needs some action. See, EVE is like gravity, all it takes is a little push. But listen comigh sov 5.0 is not enough to be called something really big.

And if they don't have the stomach, well, they wouldn't have been worth "leaving alone" anyway. I'm pretty sure the bigger question is, why would anyone want to actually play the sov game, at least in its present incarnation? It's crooked, but its the only game in town? It is literally un-winnable for a new participating entity, and you'd have to be foolish to consider otherwise. Nawh. Brave succeeded in their mission statement to an extraordinary degree when they were young, and in Barleguet. Fun was indeed maximized per hour, for literally everyone that came into contact with that system. They did exactly what they set out to do. The moment they left an environment where success was possible, especially considering that success has a much more rigid definition in the sov game, its not surprising what happened. agreed, brave or any other alliance that tries to take and hold sov should be proud of what they achieve. recent history should be looked at as a speed bump. withdraw,,, regroup,,, rebuild,,, see where you went wrong and try not to repeat those mistakes. but don't let it end the dream. we all get knocked back a few steps now and then, it's all about picking yourself up, saying right,, feck this and getting on with it. having said that, all empires rise and fall, some fall and never recover, others recover as a much smaller alliance while some learn from it and become much more powerful. I don't personaly know any of Brave directors but things show that Brave top management was never ready to succesfully manage their massive membership and furthermore play politics in null sec sov. Instead of settle any npc region - Stain, G. Wildlands, Outer Rings, Aridia, Syndicate, Solitude and have a lot of content without big politics, they overestimated and decided to pick prob one of the most iconic areas Catch with HED & GE. They should be expected some big fishes start to showing interests. In the end they faced with Killer Whales the most well organised cdredf group of existens. The result of such impact should be predicted. There are some pretty honest comments from Brave on PL's dreddit manifest which confirmed Brave gave up.
Tiddle Jr Galvanized Inc. 110	Posted - 2015.04.10 01:15:48 - [9] - Quote What is the goal? Having 50k bodies on a daily basis and at least 50% of them pushed to null pewing each other? Complexity vs. Simplicity the first should win and be the driving factor of new arrivals into the game and keeping veterans not leaving. Farming bots - and their Masters flying multibillion ships doing lvl4 or some silly dilly pockets, hell i hope it's not the way we are driving this bus into.
Tiddle Jr Galvanized Inc. 122	Posted - 2015.04.22 00:35:22 - [10] - Quote Major blocks and allies have already started transforming in regard of june sov change. We already have a big picture of what would happen so you are free to develop plans a,b,c and so how it goes.

Tiddle Jr Galvanized Inc. 122	Posted - 2015.04.22 02:57:30 - [11] - Quote Would it be surprise if one day you would know that Brave was only well planned creature of GSF? And it's not a surprise why they were at Catch and where they are going to next. Just a thought. And lychton is nothing else other than playing ceo online. "Mighty" nc.dot probably lost it chance to catch the last train and jump on it. To be a landlord much more easier than an effective war block. They could be a same good as both legions but things turned different ways. Darkeshi has no balls of steel to manage a big piece of the pie. N3 fail by it's nature. And i will ignore "Test" cause it's test. So i hope that ruski block could bring up some fresh content and will see how fast smaller dukes would try their teeth at nuli.

I am sure currently right bow in game somewhere a couple systems are under TiDi. Wow dude, mr npc corp you really dont know what you are talking about. TiDi happens SOOOOOOOO often. You are seriously ignorant Looks like tidi happened only if Brave arround. Cause only Brave has that many bodies all arround.

Whenever you can get out of that hole you seem to find yourself in right now, come and play the game with the rest of us. We'll still be here when you do. Thanks for the invite but ganking is not my cup of tea, I find it quite tedious and disdainful. (personal opinion only, never been ganked but seen many newer players quit due to it) What with my preferred style of game play being slowly eroded away, turned into something resembling a game for 12 year old's and controlled by a few empire builders, I'm really not sure what to do next. I love Eve and have made many friends over the years but the lack of any real content is beginning to out way the reasons I play. https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/ISK_The_Guide Back to the roots, read it once again. Think, if nothing pop up in your mind, forget about eve and leave for good.
Tiddle Jr Galvanized Inc. 148	Posted - 2015.05.01 07:25:16 - [14] - Quote CCP responsability to keep your mental energy on a high level by motivating You to keep playing Eve.
Tiddle Jr Galvanized Inc. 149	Posted - 2015.05.01 21:25:33 - [15] - Quote Sgt Ocker, i'm not talking about isk making it's not my idea to call this guide like that, i'm more about your profession in Eve. If you feel yourself more than confident in almost everything with Eve go try something different. send your app to ISD service, make a plan to became a CSM, kind of new level. Just think of it from different angle.
