Maybe we can do this in a poll-like fashion. If you like this idea hit the like button on this post. If you think this is a bad idea, hit the like button on the post below. That way we can "poll" the forum-base.
I'm curious to how many players think that getting rid of the "warp-to-zero" option for gates and station would make gameplay more interesting and fun, or less interesting and more a pain.
The concept would be to get rid of the warp to zero option for all gates and stations. Instajump bookmarks would not work as well because a sortof 'warp-distruption' bubble would exist around the stations and gates which automatically drops ships out of warp at the 15km point.
Like this post if you like this idea. The reason to like this idea are
1. Gate-camping would be even more effective.
2. Easier to patrol your claimed territor because you can catch intruders more easily
3. Hi-sec War declarations would be more fun and effective because you have more opprotunity to 'catch' your enemies
4. Hi-sec suicide ganking would be more common
5. It would multiple the advantage of smaller faster ships as more useful than larger ships.
6. Other.
These are all basically pro-pvp reasons |

Like *this* post if you think that getting rid of warp-to-zero would be a bad idea and make the game less fun.
The reason to not like this idea are.
1. Travel times would be longer. Much, much longer in larger ships.
2. Hi-sec suicide ganking would be easier and more common.
3. Breaking through low sec and null sec gate camps would be harder.
4. Avoiding warring oponents would be harder.
5. Other
These are basically anti-pvp reason.
Post your reasons for your choice. |

Also bookmarks.
Well the concept would be that instajump bookmarks wouldn't work, because the gates/stations would act like warp-inhibitor bubbles dropping any ship out of warp at 15km even if the ship was trying to use bookmarks. |

How? Be specific. |

Unless you mean that every gate really has a bubble that will take down any ship that approaches or even passes by if there's a gate in between destinations forcing ships to take a detour between. What if the ship appears behind the gate and has to travel 30km before being able to jump? Two bookmarks around every gate to make a detour?
Yes, a bubble, will take down any ship that approaches. I don't think that there are any gates so perfectly lined up that they will take down each other's traffic.
Quote:That said I think this is a bad idea.Orca and freighter pilots will hate this. Battleships become even less favoured because slowness is more apparent, not that they are that popular to begin with. It reduces the eagerness to go solo in lowsec and might drop even more new players from trying as there is no way one can survive a quick run. And of course more blobs because you can't be sure if there's a blob waiting.
This is the type of anwser/opinion I was looking for. Its basically poll to gather opinions and pro/cons. Thanks. |

Seems to me you're just trying to boost the likes on your character.
Not really... I wish that the Eve forum had a real poll opinion, but too many trolls on the forums keep CCP from giving us that option.
Who give a crap about likes. |

No likes for you either way OP, you are an idiot.
/poasting in the monthly "remove warp to zero" thread.
Nope. Check my ingame birthdate Dumbass. Now whose's the idiot. |

Sure, lets reintroduce a bad mechanic that consumed 25% of everybody's daily playing time.
Nope. Been around from the beginning. Back before Lord Zap and the m0o crew got caught hacking the Eve Servers. Before damage mods had stacking penalties, and before the first null sec alliances were even formed. Your a dumbass.
Sasha Azala wrote:If you were around when there was no warp to 0, why bother with this so called poll? You should already know why they changed it to the way it is.
Yes, but there's a concept that may be too advanced for you to comprehend... maybe you'll be able to master it someday... its the concept of pros and cons. For every change there is a pro... and there is a con. The pro (and motivation) of that move was that it brough down travel times (and everyone had instajumps anyway.. back then that's what we called them), but there were cons. The biggest is that it without a doubt, made the galaxy a safer place to live and travel. Much easier to evade war dec corps. Much easier to hide in stations. Much easier to break through gate camps. (I remember my travel fit for my BS had 5 WCS... can't catch me!)
So whether or not the added convience was worth the price that it made the galaxy a safer place to fly is something to think about. CCP has already stated (and most players agree) and the *risk* of undocking has been diminished and that War itself is somewhat broken... Its something to think about why that's the case.
The original purpose of the thread was an open discussion on the pro/cons of each (not an endorsement of one or the other)... but I forgot how about the epidemic of micro-phallic syndrome on the forums these days.

Maxpie wrote:Anyway, as others have said, I was there and it really sucked. I spent hours making instas. Became quite good at it actually. Why? Not for pvp purposes usually, but because travel was just slow and annoying. It wasn't fun. Travel is the least fun part of almost any mmo, particularly in Eve, especially in high sec. Find a way to encourgage more pvp - I'm fine with that. Do it at the expense of wasting a significant amount of time for the vast majority of non-pvp related activities - sorry, it does not make for a better or more fun game.
A valid point. Not some much a concern for frigates and cruisers, but battleships, orcas, haulers, and freighters would be quite a lengthy endevor.
... just brainstorming on so of the potention pro/cons for changes to bring the "everytime you dock you risk loosing your ship" back to Eve...

Ajita al Tchar wrote:While I think the OP's idea is pretty stupid and the only good thing about it is the thread where he's going to get likes even if everyone hates the removal of wtz and votes accordingly, I must say... People's failure to read the entirety of the original post(s) and then reply making it obvious that they only read every fifth sentence is pretty funny.
(I suggest they try this: anchor a large T2 bubble somewhere and pretend the center of it, the warp disruption field generator, is the intsta-jump point of the gate. Then make a bookmark there. Then try warping to their bookmark in anything but an interdiction nullified T3. There will probably be some way to game the system once again because if ever implemented--lolnoplz--something would probably be screwed up, but either way, a simple "but bookmarks!" answer is still kind of dumb)
This.
Gotta admit that the average literacy on the forums is pretty low. Kindof sad really.
Wondering if I should point out to every moron that completely missed the concept that they completely missed the concept... like the guy below... |

Hm.. wasn't meant to be misleading. I'll try to rewrite it for clarity. I do however think that most posters don't really read the post.

Somebody please lock this riculous thread.
What I find hilarious is that there was a 2 month span from the original thread and your post here... wasn't this thread already dead? What the huh? What is also funny is that most of the poster now havn't a clue that they are posting in a zombi thread.
