MrHunter	Posted - 2007.05.08 21:03:00 - [1] Yeap, privateers - since ccp nurfed the alliance and basically took the last fun thing to do, I dunno what to do now. Don't wanna priate, run missions, get stuck with alliance politics, play pos wars. sigh What is there to do that dosn't force you to sit on eve hours at a time. I liked being able to login, and get some action within half an hour. Perhaps it's time to retire. No you can't have my stuff - get your own.
slothe Caldari 0utbreak	Posted - 2007.05.08 21:04:00 - [2] form a corp like mine. its like privateers in 0.0. we move into an area, and kill everyone we can. no politics.

Some of the pirates and griefers there could do with some comeuppance (Note to self: Look that up again! I'm sure that's not how it's spelt) ----------------------------------------------- "And I scream in a thousand voices!"

I'm sure that's not how it's spelt) Doing that now, problem is with my time zone there is few to be found and anything you find is docked... With privateers you could login just before dt and still find something. :-( Also, i've been in 0.0, been in the big 0.0 alliances taken over stations setup pos's blah blah blah. Then someone pulls out there cap fleet :-/ Next.

What are privateers? Privateers was an alliance that, from what I gather, Wardecced any corp that had the numbers but not the obious potential in the 'battlefield'. But the last patch put paid to that with some changes to the War-dec system. [EDIT]MrHunter: Maybe you should try carebearing it for a bit? Train an Industrial Ship skill, take some courier contracts? Hell, take the risky HiSec to LoSec ones for some thrills? ----------------------------------------------- "And I scream in a thousand voices!"

Privateers was an alliance that, from what I gather, Wardecced any corp that had the numbers but not the obious potential in the 'battlefield'. But the last patch put paid to that with some changes to the War-dec system. So all the big pvp alliances had no potential in the 'battlefield'? At the end privateers war dec'd over 200 alliances/corps including all the big pvp players.

Pirating and playing alliance politics. Even playing privaters in, privaters out was part of alliance ploitics, and working as a merc too.

MrHunter	Posted - 2007.05.08 21:20:00 - [11] Thats not what you said before thou is it. Anyway this is getting off topic! What is there in eve that is fun to do anymore?
Karash Amerius Amarr O.E.C Legionnaire Services Ltd.	Posted - 2007.05.08 21:21:00 - [12] What about finding a very large and active corp/alliance that operates in Empire space to war dec on? Then you could get your gankbear game back on...although not in the numbers as before. Merc Blog
The Pointless Gallente Lacks a Point Ltd	Posted - 2007.05.08 21:24:00 - [13] Originally by: MrHunter Thats not what you said before thou is it. Well, I did say "from what I gather", meaning it wasn't a definite fact, just my perception based on what I've heard. Which reminds me, I haven't stuck my head in C&P for a month. Originally by: MrHunter Anyway this is getting off topic! What is there in eve that is fun to do anymore? Like I said, try courier missions that take you into Low-sec. After getting spanked by gatecampers in 0.4 (Failed to expect that), even a quick trip through Elarel scares me now. ----------------------------------------------- "And I scream in a thousand voices!"

Along with a number of PvE-orientated corps that had no experience in PvP and browned their trousers at the news of being wardecced. No, they just war declared everyone and their grandfather (with little discrimination one way or the other) so that as many as possible in high-sec would be legal targets for them. They didn't care much who they declared on. In short, they abused a game mechanism in order to effectively turn high-sec into 0.0 for themselves. That is, into a place where you can kill anyone without taking a sec hit or being attacked by Concord or sentry guns. ------------------ "If you ever need anything please don't Hesitate to ask someone else first."

I am pretty sure he means a target that doesnt shoot back with a blob of 60 ships and 2 carriers to kill 4 cruisers.

Aindrias Amarr Fomus-Amarr Industrial Novus Ordos Seclorum	Posted - 2007.05.08 21:45:00 - [17] Find everyone like-minded as you, get corps and mutual war-dec each other. OR Whine like this on the forums ;-) See what you can do with Paintbrush?

After getting spanked by gatecampers in 0.4 (Failed to expect that), even a quick trip through Elarel scares me now. Try joining a corp that lives in a really dangerous part of 0.0, and live out there for a few months. Low-sec will start to feel like a safe place for you, and I don't mean just by comparison. It really will be safer. Low-sec is really not dangerous at all if you know what you're doing. I took my Iteron III through pirate-infested low-sec systems in Placid more times than I can count while setting up a low-sec pos in an 0.1 system, then maintaining and keeping it supplied with fuel for a few weeks while transporting the materials it mined from the moon out to sell them, and then finally taking it down and selling the parts. I was locked and fired on by pirates in commandships or battlecruisers several times, but never once lost my ship. ------------------ "If you ever need anything please don't Hesitate to ask someone else first."

What Privateers did and to a certain ammount still do, have been going on for a limited time only. Both before The privateers came up with war deccing everyone and their mother and the neighbourhood dog and the CCP nerf have people never been running short of targets. Also, I understand that have been a increase in number of Freighter victims in EMpire space. If you cant come up with an idea of what to do in EvE to get yourself some fat targets, I dont think tvh you are thinking your case thorough hard enough...

Marquis Dean Energy.	Posted - 2007.05.08 21:48:00 - [20] Originally by: Aindrias Whine like this on the forums ;-) What a ** you are sir. I'd hardly class the OP as a whine. --- Originally by:** korrey Marquis I have to admit, without you there wouldn't be much laughter in these forums.
Anaalys Fluuterby Caldari	Posted - 2007.05.08 22:07:00 - [21] Quote: CCP stole my fun, what to do now Think of it this way: Quote: CCP: Privateers, you are stealing the fun from 10s of thousands of our players. What should we do? Your fun is no more important than another's fun. If you don't like 0.0 politics, mining, missions, etc about the only option you now have is to make a small PvP Corp and target specific opponents or move to LowSec and pirate... <-----------> Keiron: Quote on PvE/PvP [i]PvE and/or PvP is not something that appeals to

I'd hardly class the OP as a whine. Ok.. I guess it was out of line... I've been sucked in by all the others who call those that voice complaints "whiners". I do so apologize. ;-) It was the "sigh" that caught me though... See what you can do with Paintbrush?
Kruel Beyond Divinity Inc	Posted - 2007.05.08 22:19:00 - [23] I know it's fashionable to flame Privateers, but many of you just don't get it... It's not about fighting targets that can't shoot back. It's about having targets to fight in general. Low sec is dead. 0.0 is full of bubbles, capitals, politics, and pos warfare. Hi sec on the other hand is alive and full of people. Wardeccing was the only option we casual pvpers had left. We just want to log on, blast a few peeps (or die trying), and go to bed. Most of us had tried both lowsec and nosec. Both were quite boring. All I can say is, hang in there MrHunter. Perhaps Factional Warfare will bring back the Privateers in a way.
Le Skunk Privateers Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.08 22:41:00 - [24] Originally by: Venkul Mul Quote: Don't wanna priate, get stuck with alliance politics, Exactly what you think you were doing in Privateers? Pirating and playing alliance politics. Even playing privaters in, privaters out was part of alliance ploitics, and working as a merc too. Politics are not involved in the privateers - for the 'rank and file' especially. The admin staff had some small politics to deal with - two frienldy fire incidents, couple of members kicked for griefing a corpie, couple of 'rules' had to be set, the euni ban, alts paying for wars with hush hush info etc. But not a lot tbh. A lot of our members had alts in the very alliances we decced -No side was taken in the 'vaunted' great war. Both sides were decced. I take issue with your accusation. Also we didnt pirate. Shooting a war target is by definition not piracy. Every target had 24 hours to make themselves immune with a click of a button. Post nerf - many of the very people who bumped up their sec status and stopped pirating to come join us for honest killing. Have gone back to pirating. The nerfing of the privateers - increased piracy. The privateer alliance decreased it. SKUNK
Nicholas Barker Caldari Black Bands	Posted - 2007.05.08 23:56:00 - [25] i wuz in ur empires, slaying ur stupid members. --- - We lost that fight - Quick, smack'em in local or they'll think they won!
Grendelsbane	Posted - 2007.05.09 02:55:00 - [26] There are areas where you can often find action, especially where hisec changes right into 0.0. It just takes some work. I never whined about the Privateers, even when wardecced by them -- PvP in empire for a couple of weeks was exciting for a change. I feel your pain, but you're just going to have to put in the work to find some new pilots to shoot at.
Arii Smith Caldari StarHunt Fallout Project	Posted - 2007.05.09 03:03:00 - [27] Head for a system called P3EN with a few friends and camp the OBE gate. I bet you get more action than you can handle.
Kirex Gallente Vale Heavy Industries Molotov Coalition	Posted - 2007.05.09 03:26:00 - [28] Instead of alliances coming to your doorstep, maybe you should go to theirs? Oh wait, that takes a bit more balls... Click above for my killboard stats.

Tosssers like you that messed up their fun.

Oh wait, that takes a bit more balls... bandwagon smack ftl tbfh. I understand where your coming from, my corp did a stint in priv. But it was like playing eve in god mode. Eve was never designed to be so easy to find targets and this isnt counterstrike. 0.0 isnt that dangerous tbh, you just need to move in groups or in fast ships. Your tactics will need to be a lot better than oh look there's one boom too. There are corps out there that have very little to do with politics and just essentially blow people up for fun. You just need to do your homework and find one that's on your timezone cause there's nothing worse than being the only one in corp chat all the time. Check the killboards, ask about their nap lists and future plans e.t.c and you'll be fine. Or, follow the advice suggested and set up a corp on the Outbreak model. Looking at their killboard it obviously works well. ----------------------------------------------- logoffski is bad mmmk?
