- This would make eve feel alot larger, and could also have a positive impact on blobbing and the enormous size of current 0.0 alliances. Also we would have less blob fight as less people could get to the fight as travel time would be alot higher.
IĘm on board with the way you think about EVE. I started playing EVE over a year ago, I played for a couple months and lived and mined out of a .1 system for most of my original EVE experience. What made me leave the game originally is that I couldnĘt get adjusted to the style of PVP here.
I really enjoy one vs. one; IĘve been playing MMOĘs as my main source of entertainment since 2003. PVP being my favorite factor, the rewarding experiences of besting your opponent was awesome. When I came here with my first character, I learned of blobs and Bait traps from experience. All I wanted was that type of experience again. The time to hunt down an experience like that and not have them logout, run, or be bait was really discouraging, and well boring.
So I decided to try the gate camp blob tactic, joined and alliance up north and I was invited shortly after to my first gate camp experience. As players would jump in everyone would blast them in dust and cheer on vent. Myself, I just sat there shaking my head thinking, Christ these guys would never make it in another mmo if they think this is PVP. Guess after you reach a certain amount of Skill points the ego becomes so massive everyone needs 15 others to protect it.
I came back to EVE around Xmas time, being burnt out of all the MMOĘs and IĘm glad I did. Since IĘve been back I havenĘt had a fair one on one, but I have at least had some small PVP action, also spending a good portion of my time in 0.0 and getting more involved with other things like production, and small projects has really enticed me to stick with it this time around.
IĘd love it if they changed the mechanics to some of your suggestions, move things to belts. The gate camps have little risk for the group, and well itĘs time for them to grow a pair and learn how to really fight. Would be really fun with more possible even encounters, which is extremely rare and in any PVP game that should never be an issue imho.
