I guess I should post on the public forums as well since Reddit is taken with a grain of salt.
This nerf is bad for the game and the gamers associated with it. Since the previous nerf bat the fighters were already in a bad place in regards to pvp, defanging supers and carriers alike is an easy task for any small-mid sized cruiser gang. This means that my carrier sits more than it did before the last patch already. Less opportunity to use my carrier toon means I don't want to sub that account if it sits all day. I do sub it though for the pve content, which in turn puts another capital out there for someone to gank and possibly create content on any random night where I'm trying to make isk. It also adds a possible carrier to our standing fleets in the situation where we might escalate to some crazy fight that can hit the gaming magazines and vlogs or chatted about on some podcast.
That same toon is at the point where it can purchase a super. It's survived the countless hours out there grinding away producing a million clicks actively (because carrier ratting isn't afk in case some of you at ccp don't know) locking and shooting these sansha rats before the decimate my fighters. I've skilled up my carrier toon to good skills, poured months in to this toon and effectively years of focus and probably days of thought and planning. I don't want to put this toon in a super now though. It's in a terrible place with regards to pvp AND now with the upcoming changes pve too.
What does that mean for me now that my next step in the game has been removed from me?
I simply don't play. Citadels have destroyed pvp. Gone are the days of content generation.. lets go hit some timers on thursday to see if we can get a fight doesn't really exist unless it's for some moon way out there that we don't even want. If you hit one citadel (which is an incredible task with even 1 person defending) it doesn't matter because they can go spend a mere 2b and asset safety their stuff on over like its nothing.
WH content is also 1 sided for me now. I used to enjoy going in random holes and searching for undefended pos's to hit and possibly score some loot. That's gone. Every hole is littered with random citadels now, abandoned but too difficult for me to spend two weeks to see if there's anything in there... I guess I should say 0 sided because I'm not actively ratting any more so I'm also not producing content for them to come and generate. So that's gone too.
I was rorq mining, post first patch (maybe the second one too) making a paltry 200m per hour for putting a hot 12b on the line and hanging out whilst waiting for someone to come along and play with us. That was nerfed in to the ground, pointless now. -1 more toon. I injected for this and made my money back so it's no big deal. It was fun though while it lasted.
So as a null sec player what's left?
PVP is a shell of it's former self with the introduction of citadels. PVE has been nerfed to the ground in regards to capitals which is the stage I'm at (I'm not going back to VNI'S). I could probably figure out how to bot with a tengu which I see is pretty easy and you guys don't punish reported botters but that's not really my thing. WH content is dead. 10/10s are a thing of the past for me. Oh yeah, you guys do those little events here and there but honestly they're pretty lame. The sites are super basic. Data/Relic sites!? NVM, I've ran thousands of them and the loot sucks compared to the loot spout days (which btw I really enjoyed trying to grab those cans floating away). I've ran logistics but honestly the servers have been too funky for a hot minute and I'm basically scared to death to have a dc whilst my jf is on the line.
I haven't played the past couple months because I was burnt out from the lack of content and nerfing of pve content in regards to the rorq/fighter sigs. I was kind of getting the itch again because of the upcoming AT stuff, that would give me something to chat about and look forward to while I filled my time with pve. Things like this nerf show me how blind your staff is some times in regards to other serious problems with this game.
Citadels are destroying pvp. Ghost farming/botters/citadels are bloating the economy, not the one dude out there in a super/carrier grinding his weekend away trying to plex an account or two. It's crazy to me. Listen to these people that play the game and start addressing the things people are trying to tell you. |
