So tomorrow brings new changes to the watchlist. now being called the buddy list with mutual consent needed to see if the other player is online or not.
What are the opinions of these changes with my fellow C&P dwellers?
Personally I think the changes will be interesting. not knowing the exact about of enemy players from one Corp/alliance that are currently online plus not being able to spot that log off trap stands out for myself.
Don't confuse kindness with weakness.
Beware the hand of Fybs.

I just posted on the thread in general discussion. It kind of kills the hunting aspect of the game and pushed mercs to be more like ...fill in the blank... And sit in Jita and Amarr all day or just camp the pipes. Not real happy about it but I guess we will see. |

I hope we'll see a huge increase in capital &, especially, super-cap engagements with this change.
not being able to see that your enemy has logged in their supers means when they land, you're surprised and need to start calling in your own (or run like the wind).
I think this is a great change for the better all round. Sure, there'll be some whining and complaining by those who utilised the watchlist heavily. But, given some time, they'll find workarounds (SPAIS!).

For a hunter who uses the watchlist as a means of finding people and locating them, I find the change to be destructive to a point that I'm actually giving up that style of play. I've been pretty vocal about it in the GD threads. But it seems CCP rather commit a broad stroke to fix some the Nullbloc are whining about, rather than making an intelligent thought out nerf.
Which to be fair isn't really their style. I am pretty upset about it, personally. There are some ways to uses the watchlist nerf to your advantage for wardecs, but largely it involves using it against Large merc corps. Which although would be fun. It completely annihilates all other aspects of the game style.

This I can agree with, if your your in null or low, and wormhole this won't effect you much, but being a highsec merc this effects us a ton, now we can no longer find those targets who people specifically ask us to kill, agents become completely useless and it's back to a guessing game. Thanks for ****ing us, where's the steak dinner. |

Tea is indeed the answer, I'm sure code will give me mutual consent, lets all give it, why on the subject of change I say keep faction police, if you don't want them to shoot you don't be - 10, run missions or pay the isk

Since I didn't use it much anyway (a lot of wartargets stay logged on all the time......just to fish the watchlist....), I am very gleeful that now wartargets won't be aware of when I am online.....
And that should make them...very nervous...;)
Also, this opens up new careers in hisec....Professional Scout. Think about it.......for a reasonable fee I, Sam Spade, will fly down those mean stargates and find the scumbag you are looking for.
Also also, gives the newbros something to do.
Everything in EVE is a trap.

As a high sec merc who enjoys gathering intel on targets then watchlisting them to locate when online im beyond pissed off with the introduction of this mechanic.
With the amount of inactive characters and alts it would take a silly amount of man hours to locate a 200 man corp, send alts to the systems to see if they even online while during the mean time they could of moved and anyone who knows high sec wars knows targets hide in the most remote locations in high sec.
I know alot of mercenary groups including marmite have become hunters nowadays and this has just killed it. |

I'm kinda pissed to know that if I go back to a small merc corp (where there are only 3-4 active hunters), I'll have to spend more time looking for the guy (if he's online or not).
Sure the target doesn't know if you're online either, but most carebears don't know about the watchlist in the first place.
Sure it helps for the LS/NS titan pilots, but it leaves smaller mercs in the dust

Heck even the so-called carebears in highsec have null backgrounds. Much has been done to drive people out of null, but for a while now people are just laying up waiting for the changes to be emplaces (supers, citadels, etc. )

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. |

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.

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.

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.

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. I totally agree. When I was in Black Hydra we used to do two things: 1-run locates and try to snatched targets, and when we were done doing that (with or without a kill), 2-we'd go back to Uedama to catch people on gates, and killing easily 3-4 times more..
Sometimes it's better to sit and wait than to go out and hunt But Ozzie wouldn't know, he never merc'd

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

I guess I'm kind of confused why people who are being dec'ed would care abut the watchlist changes? Most of the war deccing mercs are so large that there will always be at least one of them online and there are some pretty obvious systems that should just be avoided during a war. I feel like if someone is hunting you it's best to just assume they're coming after you at all times and be ready. Sure it would make it harder to go AFTER an individual when you don't know if they're online or not but maybe it's an opportunity for you guys to charge more to find them ;)

Pretty much this
If you know your target there are certain players you would watch out for/keep an eye on.
If you didn't do this then you could be in for a nasty surprise when you lest expected it.

There aren't that many major merc groups. There are a lot more small corporations like mine where a handful of people wardec corporations for fun or profit. Those guys can definitely be tracked via watch list and are also a lot more likely to actively hunt rather than camping gates and stations.
As is typical, the small operators of Eve get screwed because "this doesn't affect the big guys".

Big alliances don't really care since they always have 100+ wars. But for the smaller corp which hunts 2-3 corps, it just made their game nigh impossible. They're going to spend way more time looking for an offline dude than they would otherwise.

I actually do like losing the ability to ABUSE the watchlist. Before using the watchlist to keep an eye on who was, or was not, online I used to actually go out and hunt targets ... and now it feels good to be forced back into actually playing the game rather than sitting somewhere waiting for that "DING" sound.
Sitting around waiting makes one lazy, and I became a lazy player. Now I feel like I am back in the game.
... as much as I was like, I am now like ...

As a hunter I personally like the changes. One too many time in highsec and in null sec have my fleets logged in causing the enemy fleets to log out. Far too many times have I heard of people standing down because their enemies had too many people online. Seriously people, watchlists supplied free information wtih zero risk. Eve is not about zero risk.

For the case of fleet fights and against other mercs, I would agree.
But from a business perspective CCP just took away my livelyhood. As a small(ish) highsec merc group that has specialized in hunting their contract target. Some of you will say "Good riddance" but do you really want yet another group in highsec blanket deccing everyone, just to be able to sit on gates and hubs and pick off people who does'nt know better then to stay away from hotspots? Thats the reality of it, we will adapt, dec more and become something we have worked very hard not to become. If we get another reasonable way to differentiate between logged off and online players we might be able to salvage the art of hunting the targets we are paid to kill.
Most of Devils employers are/was looking for someone who would actually move out of the hotspots and kill them where they hide. We will still try our best to still be able to hunt our contract targets, but I fear this will burn out my guys rather fast. Empire is kinda big you now..
Oh.. and zues.. finding a Public-enemy pilot in the pipe is not hard

You don't have anyone's ear and the vast majority of you are practically peasants compared to most super owners. None of you are ambassadors for the game. You have no CSM representatives.
The newbro with zero kills anywhere in PL's canon fodder alliance has spoken..... Personally I don't mind the changes. P.S By the way plook if you think none of us own caps or even supers then your are mistaken. Vastly mistaken.

It would have been at least a mild improvement to be able to watch a target you had killrights on. And transferable KR make that notion even more viable. (and just imagine the "Killright Fu" and the cost involved if everybody who had killrights on a player could watch them)
