Originally by: DHB WildCat Titans-
The soluion to the major comlaint that all Eve players have.... LAG. However it has created an ever greater problem. Note please that titans do not affect my game play so this is as unbiased opinion as one can produce.
Several players that I have known since I began the game, talk about the old days. Thier cruise missle kessys, duel afterburner crows, and so on. They tell tales of fights with no lag and when the eve population was only around 10,000 players. There have come nerfs, and changes. Ships added like capitals (carriers, and dreads). They tell of how painful pos warfare is, and how they wish it was like the days where you could just shoot an enemies station, and force them to defend it and thus get a good fight, instead of the enemy hiding in a pos shield. But through all this they have stayed with the game, enjoyed playing it and have never really thought ill of EVE.
Until now.
The supercapital class ship.
Imagine if you will a normal day in an alliance players life. You log on thinking of mining for fortune or joining a roaming gang to fulfill your pvp needs. Then your fc says we need to defend a pos, or go take on down. You think okay defending the alliance is good, Im in. 4 hours later sitting on the gate waiting to jump in. Thinking jeez this is boring and Im tired. 2 more hours pass, FC "okay jump." Jump in, begin shooting lag in managable with slight module hesitation. Think ooo the pretty bubbles. Then the enemy fleet warp outs. A cov-ops uncloaks and sets a cyno, the screen goes black / white / whatever. Your entire fleet goes pop. Then everyone on ts goes this sucks.
So after 6 hours of planning and waiting you get 20 seconds of fight followed by your entire fleet going pop, because one dude pressed one button.
Because of this several people I know are leaving the game, it is no longer fun for them, and I do believe that after titans become more popular and this incident becomes more frequent, that thousands will follow, and eve will no longer exist.
Eliminate titans from the game
