With the introduction of frigate wormholes ([font="Sarcastica"]Thank you Fozzie[/font]), scanning in cov-ops has become more used. Cov-ops doesn't like being decloaked with sleeper frigates on grid.
With the changes to the scanners way of instantly telling people that a new signature is present ([font="Sarcastica"]Thatks, we so much needed this[/font]), time and speed has become more important than ever.
How do we use warping to bookmarks?
- We use bookmarks for everything. Warping to wormholes, warping to wrecks, tractor units etc. We make the bookmark, then we fleetwarp the fleet to the bookmark so they don't have to wait for it to propagate.
How do we use warping to scanned signatures?
- When trying to catch targets, combat scanning them becomes a race against time due to the changes to signature spawn(read above). Decloaking a cov-ops on grid with sleeper frigs, lokis etc, is borderline suicidal. Fleetwarp will often be used to warp suicide dictors and similar onto the enemy fleet in order to establise tackle.
So these changes gives us 2 options.
We can either suicide a ship/pilot in order to provide a warp in, which will remove that pilot from the fight (Sounds like the definition of a bad game to me?)
Or, we can wait 10 minuts for every pilot to get the bookmark, which will often equal no-fight. And personally I think it is pretty bad game design to have some bad propagation code decide when a player can or can't warp.
My only prayer for CCP: Stop being lazy, start getting better. Recent and coming changes are dominated by you choosing "the easy way" instead of the good way. being lazy is a good way of making bad decissions. |

Cross-posting blue post from the original feedback thread, cause I assume the message is to us as well :)

My personal opinion on the bluepost:
Please don't. I would like this change to be reviewed by an objective team who will take all of EVE into account, and not just butter their own bread.
Miss EVE 2015 popularity contest isn't a good venue for objective feedback on gamedesign. |
