The "Life is Strange" game scares the living daylight out of me with the consequences of the coices I make.

My Rorq will now be as good as a pair of hulks next patch. Pair of hulks will cost me 800mil to buy and fit, Rorq cost me 14.5billion... Time to sell, hopefully the price does not crash to fast.

It was all too good to be true for long...

All those scams pulled off by CCP. *shakes head*

Interesting....However I don't like sad songs.Because they are...........you know....sad.And I'm past my emo stage in life. That Ishtanchuk of yours probably knows and likes this sad song too.

"Oh ja... wunderbar!"
(just co-op battle but still )

hehehe...same here.

peek-a boo!

Wrecking the forum a second time...I'm so proud of you people!

Some days it's impossible to win a battle... after gathering 6 defeats in a row with the Izumo, I've called it a day. Admittedly meeting "North" twice in a row and see two different teams of idiots do exactly the same mistakes against two different teams of not-enough-idiots has been too much for my nerves...

Nighties, lovelies! If you ever play a MOBA, learn the maps!

So I have finished going over all of the patch notes and changes that are coming and generally feel fairly down now over all.

-- changes explained --

So why am I down?

Essentially Carrier ratting and recently Rorq mining has funded the game for me, it allows me to spend an hour or two now and then doing some dull PvE activity to fund PvP. Which consumes isk at a rapid rate.

After these nerfs I will be left probably with the option of going back to Ishtar ratting or using a Marauder which will probably equal 1/4 of the isk gains of my previous tasks. The Rorq nerf will essentially put a hold on my industry in its entirety, I will unfortunately have to close shop as I cannot handle having to buy the ore, or run enough accounts to gain the Ore required to run it profitably.

So as such, with the new baby in my life taking up time and not really being able to play EvE for the time span it will now take to be able to fund activities I find fun within the game post nerf, I will be liquidating my assets and moving my characters back to highsec, to once more go into hiatus.

I will still knock about on the LAGL post now and then probably, but far as paying and playing EvE goes it will no longer be possible.

Haven, one of the new maps on the PTR, is freaking amazing. Looking forward to seeing it on the live servers soon.

Well that is definitely sad news indeed. I'm sure there will be flames in the forums over those and other changes being done to the game. Your voice will be needed with others to hopefully make CCP see the error of their ways.

As for going on hiatus, I've sorta been on one for quite a while now. Don't get me wrong, I'm an Omega Clone and I do log into the game every once in a while. My main concern has always been to keep my character training skills. My hope is that CCP will pull their heads out of their arses and get back to making good creative content, fix the numerous bugs in the game and stop nerfing everything. Not to mention they need to stop drenching the game with UI 'Graphics' polish.

Sorry about the rant, guess what I'm trying to say is don't go away, join me in playing Skill Queue Online and PvP in the Eve-O forums.

Probably this is why I removed Ishtanchuk from everything but the music thread. She's more or less moved to Elite Dangerous and her tour of duty as a capsuleer has finished. Although E:D is not a greener pasture than EVE, at least it's not being thoroughly pooped over by a flock of Seagulls.

Also: if R2D2 could speak... better no, seriously.

Let's go for 3 before the forums shut down!

So I have finished going over all of the patch notes and changes that are coming and generally feel fairly down now over all.

Some changes make sense, like Super area of effect modules gaining a sensible activation time ect.

But some things are going into the dumpster that unfortunately impact me fairly heavily, fighters will now be priority targets for rats which means the entirety of a nullsec site will now target them first. And as a result alpha several fighters for all Carrier's save for the Thanatos. The increase sig radius is another major factor in the vulnerability of fighters.

I can see fairly clearly that ratting Carrier's will become a false economy in comparison to fighter loss per site.

Rorq's as stated are being nerfed essentially to a pointless state, it now makes more sense to have two hulks in a belt. And maybe if you really don't want to have a Orca in the belt then a Rorq to give them boosts while mining. Unfortunately I will not be expanding my active character numbers.

Well, it's not that North is a bad map, but seeing lemmings getting slaughtered moving from A to B while sunk ships make a pile around B in enemy hands gets on the nerves.

Also I am starting to think that British cruisers are ludicrous. I don't mean OP, they just make the game silly and boring because 90% of ships (let alone the idiots in command of them) can't deal with smoke, so you end up with a bunch of perpetual clouds of fire barrage and no effective counter. The only way it could get any sillier would be with submarines...

Morning, everyone.

I may or may not really want to get to 100,000 likes before the forums shuts down.

The smoke meta is complete and utter garbage. Don't try to play ranked. Rank 5 and up, it's 3-4 Belfasts per team for the most part, because the only real counter to a Belfast is another Belfast. I find it extra sad because without the Belfast, T7 might actually be entertaining - amongst BBs and DDs, there's a lot of valid choice.

Maybe they could make so secondaries can see through smoke, so standing there in a cloud was a moderately dangerous proposition for lone ships. Now it's ludicrous to see Fijis and Edinburghs smoking, running, smoking again, and nobody can be arsed to fire at them while they're on the open. As for "hydro" or "radar", the average CA commander doesn't haves a clue on what they are. Usally I'm shocked to see a DD becoming visible because someone other than me is chasing it with the hydro...
