Battles will happen when people stop trolling and make a serious push at actually capturing a new area of space. Of course battles don't happen if all you are doing is trolling around the edges of someone's sov.
So it takes "some getting serious". If so that demonstrates the flawed base of this system. I know everyone hated DominonSov, I didn't like it either, but in that system and the "POS SPAM" system before if, you HAD to come in "serious" in the 1st place if you wanted to do anything with sov.
The 'focus' of this sov system is off, and one of the side effects is that it does produce boring cat and mouse skirmishes rather than encouraging people to actually fight.. This gives big groups the ability to wear smaller groups down even easier than in dominion Sov, already I'm finding it harder and harder to join up with a fleet because I kow it's going to be a hour or two of chasing/killing ceptors and fighting Slippery pete Tengus or hit and run "but not serious about sov" Tornado or T3D gangs.
It's just not fun at all. I'm amazed at how Fozzie group could take something fairly grindy and boring (dominion sov and it's structure grinding) and make it MORE boring (mininglaserSov).
Fozzie said in an interview that it was between this system and a kind of "sovless Sov". From where I'm sitting, they chose wrong, sovless sov might have been way better than this current experience, CCP "iterating" on this system will simply be the act of polishing a turd. |

An amusing thing about this thread is that it's a repeat of the past. When Dominion came and it's sov system hit, we saw the same kind of discussion.
"You just don't like change"
"you don't like how small groups can come in and take your stuff because you can't just spam POSes anymore"
"you'll get used to it"
"the old system was stagnant, this one is much better, now all you have to do is shoot 1 I-Hub instead 20 POSes!!"
It's like Battlestar Galactica, this is happened before, and it will happen again, mainly because some people can't be critical of a thing until they've had 6 years of it to understand why it's bad.....
Good news is the year 2021 is right around the corner. |

We are less than three weeks into Aegis. Some people are just having fun with it by trolling. Others are having trouble adjusting. It will take some time for the borders and tactics of alliances to adjust to what their pain threshold can withstand for defending.
Ok lets get this part straight. You think that in a game called EVE Online, people are going to somehow eventually get tired of trolling.......
Are you new here? |
