It's worse then you can imagine. The Mitanni is joining in.

What's with you dumb pubbies not being able to spell Mittani? It's not that hard.

You want to hear something new about it?

Remember how all the highsec pubbies and bots were like "WAHHHHHHHH" and they called the Whaaambulance because they were getting ganked so often? Remember how CCP was like, "We'll remove insurance! That'll slow things down at least!"

Well, it's not going to. Because Goonswarm will pay you the insurance that you would have received, at the platinum level, if you gank a mining ship (and preferably get the pod). Because we are that filthy spacerich.


Your move, CCP.

Given that Helicity got unbanned and some other things factoring into it... would not surprise me if it happened tommarow.

When did it stop?
People have been ganking hulks and macks for awhile now. Do they just call it 5 when the new year starts?

Hulkaggeddon lost its comical value years ago. Now its just become redundant.

mittens

Is there any reason to care? It's just another char's name.

What's with you dumb pubbies not being able to spell Mittani? It's not that hard.

Meh. Not like mining is my primary income now ANYWAY.

I am, however, rather pissed that you're still interdicting T2 industrials. How the **** am I meant to play with my shiny new Prowler if I don't dare undock it?
You heartless bastards. 100mil ISK tied up, plus that covops cloak I got from an abandoned can at a gate.

But hey. At least when I can sneak the hulk out when nobody's looking, an hour's ice mining pays better than missioning, even when selling to buy orders.

It's worse then you can imagine. The Mitanni is joining in.

Playing EvE during the event is a waste of time.

You say this like it would be the beginning of him engaging in suicide attacks


Besides, its not like the Mittani is somehow "better" than everyone else at suicide ganking, he just really really enjoys it and encourages his Alliance to do the same.

You can't really be "better" at suicide ganking (and therefore more scary) than anyone else - because it involves very little skill. All you need is a destroyer, Brutix, or one of the new Tier 3 battlecruisers, a ton of damage mods, and enough elementary math skill to ensure that the attack is both successful and that it kills a target more expensive than the ship lost in the attack. Its cheap, mindless fun, which is why its so popular amongst players bored with broken nullsec space.

What I am interested to see is the effect that the insurance changes have on an event like Hulkageddon. Without payouts for suicide attacks, Hulkageddon should be a lot more expensive for those that choose to participate. Perhaps removing that much isk from the game will help reduce recent inflation to a degree.

You can be "better" by using a newly buffed Catalyst instead of expensive Brutix or Talos. 800 dps of overheated dps out of 500 mil dessie hull. No, you won't need those guns later.

did the last Hulkageddon even end? lol i pretty much assumed this was an all year event because you can never let your guard down. i have soo many different ways of making isk, hell i don't even have to undock to make good isk thanks to region wide trade skills lol

Catalysts do 500-600 dps overheated with perfect skills, not 800

http://eve.battleclinic.com/loadout/57336-Catalyst-700-DPS-Suicide-Gank.html

It's a tight fit, but it can be done. And it's very cheap if your target has a chance of a good drop.

Yeah but using a 17 mil ISK catalyst for 100-150 more DPS is quite ineffective

It is true, please spread the word.


There are a few choices you could make.
You could fight them off (or try to).

Just dock and dont mine or make fun of them.
Please visit the Point and laugh at hulkageddon and its participants threads in C&P or General to maybe post ideas or enjoy some pretention from the geddon crew if you so choose to make fun of it. And make it fun for you to.

Some men are ludicrously space-rich. vOv Also, 17 mil is pretty much a drop in the bucket.

Some men are ludicrously space-rich. vOv Also, 17 mil is pretty much a drop in the bucket.

Rather than that, his math is wrong:

8x t2 small blasters 8 x 500k = 4 mil
3x t2 magstabs 3 x 800k = 2.4 mil
2x t1 small hybrid rigs 2x 80k (lulz) = 160k

Totals around 6.5 mil in fittings, not even close to 17 mil. Of course, he's free to buy at ripoff prices instead of hub price. By that same token, you can buy a shuttle for 8 mil, doesn't make it worth 8 mil.

What's with you dumb pubbies not being able to spell Mittani? It's not that hard.

I'd rather be space poor and have friends than space rich with no friends and 20% more DPS.

Unfortunately I have neither ISK nor friends d;(

You know when you refer to DPS and not alpha in relation to suicide ganking it makes you look like a total nublet, right?

Yeah, you know that.

8x t2 small blasters 8 x 500k = 4 mil
3x t2 magstabs 3 x 800k = 2.4 mil
2x t1 small hybrid rigs 2x 80k (lulz) = 160k

Totals around 6.5 mil in fittings, not even close to 17 mil.

If only alpha mattered, why the **** is everyone using blasters instead of artillery?

A nice mix of fairly high alpha and and fairly high dps. Too bad their range is terrible and downright laughable compared to pulse and auto cannons. You can never use blasted unless your target is not moving and you can get on top of them via warp in. Making it perfect to kill miners with.-á

You use artillery when you can only get one shot.-á

If only alpha mattered, why the **** is everyone using blasters instead of artillery?

It really is a phenomenal display of skill and performance, plus an extremely rare raw talent needed to be a gank Sh*thead. Add to that an enormity amount of ppl in an Alliance, all joining in for the excruciating difficult art of suicide ganking.

I have no words to qualify such amazing featGÇÖs, how shallow can ones life be to get satisfaction of playing a game where you just play like as if you were using a trainer, amazing how difficult it is to get a KM in those conditions.

To all suicide gankers out there, you have my respect, there should be medals of honor to you all.

Please, don't get me wrong, I do make an effort to understand your need to do that and after logging off return to your insipid lifeGÇÖs of misery.

CCP Should create an extra forum just to display such accomplishments and give it an appropriate name reference, I suggest that such forum should be identified as the GÇ£PatheticGÇ¥ forum, it should show the rankings of all the GÇ£PatheticGÇ¥ by ascending order, like... Pathetic number one; Pathetic number two... and so on and so on...

We should never forget that CCP does endorse and support such an out of this world feats, props to you all...

Most of the miners will just swop out to Covetors and Jump clones then absorb the loss. When all is said and done, everything just goes back to normal.
It is pretty pointless but I guess people want to demand attention from time to time.

It is pretty pointless but I guess people want to demand attention from time to time.

now that the goons have their d!cks in hulkageddon this year, expect freighter kills

Since when has having fun been pointless? The only people giving Hulkageddon pilots attention is people like you.

How is shooting miners fun? Most of them are AFK and can't shoot back. Shooting them is a bit like mining small asteroids.

As a law abiding Gallente citizen I would never become involved in any illegal activity.
However on an unrelated matter, I am concerned by the increased level of so-called "bot mining" in high security space. Is there some sort of information channel where I might report the location and fittings of suspected "botters" to the appropriate authorities?

Your move, CCP.

All you griefers prepare to bathe in the river of tear about to come our way.

there are no griefers
Game is created that way.

because there's a real person that owns that hulk and they get mad when you kill it

On the other hand they laugh when you try and fail...

As they should. but i can garrantee that the griefers are laughing too.

Mittani saved EVE and now he is saving hulkageddon +1

How exactly did the Mittani save Eve?

Given that Helicity got unbanned and some other things factoring into it... would not surprise me if it happened tommarow.

Does any one have a start time to the event? And are Covetor's a target as well? or just the Exhumer class ships?

Wishing for a 'Dislike' Botton for RESURRECTING THIS ANCIENT THREAD.

How exactly did the Mittani save Eve?

By leading the most effective CSM in history.

Even my kids get icecream if they stamp their feet long enough.

Then you are a bad parent. Much like your children, CCP needed some tough love and CSM6, led by The Mittani, provided it and saved Eve from its downward spiral.

Thats like being the smartest kid with downs syndrome.

At CSM summits, every important discussion is held after work in bars.

just the standard CSM dose of 5-8 beers a night, every night, from Tuesday until Saturday.

UAxDeath, CSM rep and leader of Legion of Death...he had made some sort of Russian moonshine and smuggled it through Iceland's nonexistent customs

My subscription money at work.

Disdaine why are you so mad about goons? Did we scam you or were you a member of a horrible alliance that we removed from nullsec?

What's with you dumb pubbies not being able to spell Mittani? It's not that hard.

Shouldn't you be in Branch feeding your pets propaganda?

Why does everything have to be about goons?

We are so good we can post and burn down Branch at the same time.

Disdaine why are you so mad about goons? Did we scam you or were you a member of a horrible alliance that we removed from nullsec?

what is "goons" again? Why should anybody be mad about them?

tl;dr pubbies mad about their miners getting popped haters gonna hate

Probably because we ruin the game.

Now quick...some comedian change the word 'run' to 'ruin' and say "fixed yer post lulz"

because there's a real person that owns that hulk and they get mad when you kill it

Then you are a bad parent. Much like your children, CCP needed some tough love and CSM6, led by The Mittani, provided it and saved Eve from its downward spiral.

Look at all these pubbies mad at Mittens for saving Eve for them. Think what you want about Goons but the achievements of CSM6 speak for themselves.

The CSM represent the players, it was the actions of players that spoke louder than words, only an idiot would consider a single player to have made such a change all alone.

A Troll is a Troll is a Troll, calling people pubbies only proves my point, that you are indeed an idiot and a Fail Troll, Think what we want about the Goons,,, lol,,,,,, build a bridge and get over yourselves, every empire falls in time, when yours does i shall remind you of the idiot Goons run 0.0 remarks.

so post from your main, i have no respect for alt Troll posting shite talking gobshites.

Happy Christmas everyone o/

Goons are in charge of nullsec. I have no idea why people are mad about us so I always like to ask.

That you feel the need to TELL people you're in charge of null tells me you aren't. I'm generally a fan of the goons' work, but if this is trolling it's pretty weak. If it's serious, it's even worse.

Deathly serious.

Hulkageddon V is still just a nice rumor. I suspect its just a Goon driven market scare tactic at this point. I am sure they are collecting big on destroyer and covetor BPCs and bumping ice and minerals a bit too.

I mean normally there are all sort of advertisements with CCP even making up a banner for logon a week or more ahead of time.

Most importantly this seems FAKE because there is no offiicial posting of prizes and categories and any other "rules" slim as they are (like trying to check if that first kill was you shooting your alt or corpmate buddy.) And most importantly of the official posting --- no list of official sponsors and donations.

Hulkageddon will probably happen soon...but mostly likely we will have a month of OFFICIAL consistent postings first.

Or maybe not stupid. With GOONs involved its probably gonna be both half-assed and stealth campaign with prizes awarded secretly. Just because the GOONs feel that a totally inside contest would be bizzarely funny especially if there idiots who try to compete but are not part of the INSIDE Goon cliche. Keep in mind a lot of GOON humor is very "high school and college frat bullies forever" type humor.


Or it is possible GOONs will try to be very professional but just lack experience with public EVE wide events and forgot to advertise details.

ANYTHING is possible with Goons playing a big official role for the first time.

Goons are in charge of nullsec.

By leading the most effective CSM in history.

Nope. Not even close.

That is, unless you consider "Oh, I guess CCP wasn't really up to anything nefarious after all" effective.

Name another CSM that accomplished as much as CSM6.

I find it funny that you can think the current CSM is responsible for every change that has happened in EvE this past year. But hey...GS is full of people with no mind of their own that have to follow someone who can tell them what to think.

What's with you dumb pubbies not being able to spell Mittani? It's not that hard.

Dear Leader and Chairman for Life are also acceptable.

You can drop "Dear Leader". He's dead.

That dude in North Korea was an imposter.

Hulkageddon V is still just a nice rumor. I suspect its just a Goon driven market scare tactic at this point. I am sure they are collecting big on destroyer and covetor BPCs and bumping ice and minerals a bit too.

wait, people actualy get MAD when you kill their hulks??

The best part of suicide ganking is getting some miner so mad that he threatens RL violence and gets his account banned. We saw a ton of that during our recent ice interdiction.

ahh, suddenly it all makes sense.

just to clarify i still don't know what the hell your all talking about. x(

I've lost 2 ships in the last two hulkageddons, neither of them were hulks or even barges for that matter just a catalyst and some industial that I was using to haul some crap(the catalyst one was a fun little fight). It stopped being an anti-hulk game a long time ago, it's now more anti-anyone that is caught in a asteroid belt.

Um. You can lose destroyers and haulers any time during the year. I doubt your losses had anything at all to do with Hulkageddon. It is disingenuous to blame those losses on the event.

What was the CSM doing prior to Incarna? Twiddling their thumbs?

So basically CCP realised the situation they were in, put on a dog and pony show, then gave the CSM a biscuit and some publicity.

CSM to the rescue.

LOL.

What's with you dumb pubbies not being able to spell Mittani? It's not that hard.

so er.. has there been a start date for this yet or has it already happened?

all you assholes should be banned you only have this stupid thing is because your to chicken **** to go fight in 0.0 me i don't mine anyways i only live in 0.0 but if i ever see any you pricks there im gonna have a field day with you high sec gankin losers.

My ***** hurts too bad right now

Well, seems like Hulkageddon took over in Hek yesterday, blowing up my Hulk.
I must say this was a most spectacular look, seeing you guys floating around the station, fending off all those mechanisms that noobs (I probably should still consider myself one) rely so much on. Unfortunately I ignored that. I was just teaching some new players about mining and it probably was my own fault that my Hulk got blown up. I had to get back to the station at some time and saw like 10-20 of you, looking like waiting for something. When I heard my pals were being attacked, it was too late, I was already in warp, going straight towards death. One shot and I was sitting in a pod and my wallet capital was halved.

Nonetheles, the experience was good for me and those new players, because it is quite rare to see such big events in action.
Even though I can't support rich, strong players ganking people who want to work in order to get to a similiar status (and thus increasing the gap between poor and rich, just like in real life), I think this is a necessary experience a player must make.
So go on, but PLEASE make your announcements more open next time. It is hard to know when there is danger when you guys fail giving a concrete time plan. I heard/read something about "a week". So I guess it is over after sunday?

I must admit, one single tear was shed because it will take me months to put that money together again to buy another Hulk. You greedy people ;)
I guess each one of you is carrying around a bottle with industrialist tears.

Don't be too hard on them. They are probably bullied and picked on in real life and doing it to others in here, helps them recuperate. They wish their real lives were as important as their virtual ones ...

all you assholes should be banned you only have this stupid thing is because your to chicken **** to go fight in 0.0 me i don't mine anyways i only live in 0.0 but if i ever see any you pricks there im gonna have a field day with you high sec gankin losers.

Picked up a warning while flying around that Hulkageddon 5 is on for 2012.

Anyone have any more to add?
