I don't know the details as I'm not playing eve as much, but it sounds like some schmercs are gonna have trouble. Absolutely tantalizing and most hilarious. All "mercs" will be consigned to hub hugging and camping pipes. Wait....nothing has changed. Rofl.
Use a locator agent, get an eve mail on where a target is.
Use an alt scout to go to the location, see if target is in local.
Run locator again if the target isn't in local. If they are listed as in system, you know they are offline.
It really isn't much different than if you knew your target but not their location.
The only unknown I can think of is what happens to our current list. Will we be spammed with notifications of people who already had us watch listed or will it just be cleared With us starting anew. |

Forgive my ignorance on this matter but its been a number of years since Ive been around and i dont remember how things work. Doesnt this affect your "agents" that you use as well? I mean used to we could use a locator. Is this still in use and are they able to tell you if they are on or only their last known position |

Have some mixed feelings about this.
It does kind of annoy that the tool that helps to narrow down my list of potential targets to those that are actually online is going away.
On the other hand the same tool was super handy for targets to know when the scary people hunting them were online as well.
I foresee a new era of neutral scout alts swarming the skies of high sec in search of reds. Well, that and more of the usual from those who predate specific areas for reasons.
Come hell or high water, this sick world will know I was here.

Now if they want to see if the scary people are online, then they have to reveal that they too are online. This tickles my Lovecraft sense, 'Recognition' is mutual... sometimes it's better to never see that thing that can now see you.

It's like the difference between how dogs and cats hide.
A dog hides it's head behind the tree, and thinks it's hidden because it can't see you. A cat hides it's body, and peeks around the tree to see if you are still looking at it. |

I've got mixed thoughts on this. On one hand from a lore perspective you shouldn't know when a character is "online" but this change definitely hurts those of us who want to hunt down certain targets. The high sec merc thing in general needs a good review and making locator agents useful and immersive would be a good change. I'd like the ability to pay for some sort of corporation wide search that gives you a report on last known locations etc. |

Uh...your mom?
Seriously though, many "merc" groups adopted my doctrine of high scan resolution. I get the ship, and then the pod. Anything less is failure imo. I'm just looking for some appreciation from the noobs I ascended to new heights through my tutelage. My kill record will make me impervious to irrelevance. Veiled jealousy is a constant theme I have to deal with, it entertains me.
What I'm doing is something challenging. I am destroying ships of a higher class size and then I take their pod. Anya and nitsche are human failscades and couldn't pvp their way out of wet tissue paper. Truth hurts, I know.

You are so right , but the word lazy comes to mind , why would they Hub hug in the 1st place. I still think its a crime of some of them to be called Mercs You have to think bigger.. Lets say as a merc you get a contract against an alliance with 100-200 members spread around in empire. From experience I would say maybe 10% of those members are active during a wardec. To find those guys online using the proposed method from Lady Ayeipsia would be a HUGE task. And ineffective..
A lvl4 locates gives you location of the target when you ran the locate agent You get the answer back 10 min later, so if he was moving he is long gone by the time you get there. Then theres the agent cooldown before you can run another locate. (another 20min on top) Ofc you have multiple agents.. But you also have to move from agent to agent, this takes time. Oh.. and dont forget the cost.. 250k every locate you run.
Basicly you will have more chance of finding an online target sitting in a hub or pipe waiting for him to pass you. Its not about beeing lazy (well for some it is) but more using the time more efficient. Both for us and our employers.

Or jumped in the system next door. Try doing that with a 100 men target. The removal of watch lists will **** up mercs who hunt, will let the total number of wars increase and will have the targets dock all week, as they cant see when the evil mercs are online.

I think it may make eve more dangerous.
it will definitely make wars between mercs in HS more interesting.
and ofcourse not knowing when enemy supers are logging in will hopefully Spring a few surprises in itself.
we will all have to adapt or die
