My popcorn BPO is all ME/PE'd up and ready to go, in preparation for more hilarious posts such as this:
Vheroki wrote:I DARE you to nerf that tracking the result you will see it in the monthly bills. When i see you guys post i just want to ask for my money back after 9 years.
I do hope, however, that one of the main things to come in this focus on war, is a much better sov system which allows for more small skirmishes instead of forcing every system to become a fuckoff huge fight with 1000+ on each side. I'd say that'd be a more effective fix than nerfing titan tracking, although it has to be said that the amount of tears that would generate would probably be delicious. |

Grath Telkin wrote:We all understand that you used to be in Goonswarm, and so you do your best to help them along in the game without looking too much like t20 (its a bit late for that), but instead of nerfing titans, again, perhaps you'd like to show your old corpmates what a dreadnaught is.
They seem to want to skip that class of ships and expect everything to go OK, even though they've literally been told directly (and shown by their own actions after listening to that) that dreads are the savior to all their problems.
Instead of 1000 drakes (drakes suck, the only time they work is when you have 10x more than your enemy) they could field 500 dreads and you'd never hear a peep about titans. Yes, let's keep on heading down the path where wars are either fuckoff standoffs forever and ever because neither side wants to lose supercaps, or morale breaks because one side welps a significant amount of supercaps.
This was awesome the last 3 years, here's to 3 more years. |

Edit: Oh, I forgot the part where one side gets steamrolled because they don't have supers.
One side has knives the other side has guns, sounds about right to me. If you want to arm the common man with his own affordable gun that would allow you to compete with the 'bitter vet squad' its called a dread. You know, the totally insurable platform tailor made to be a serious threat to titans in large numbers. But please, keep pretending dreads don't exist. Good job in ignoring the majority of my post. Here, let me requote it for you:

Edit: Oh, I forgot the part where one side gets steamrolled because they don't have supers. One side has guns, one has knives. If the knives side takes out enough of those who have guns, the gun side stops fighting, because their morale breaks, and spend god knows how many years just buying them off the open market, because they won't have SOV to build them in themselves.
What an awesome state for the game to be in. This is definitely the state we want.

Laak Pollard wrote:So ~100bil mobile jump bridges then? Is your desire to remove the endgame from EVE completely? Or is just that you want all of nullsec to belong to the single mega-coalition who can throw most of warm bodies on the field?
Maybe instead of nerffing everything you should actually develop a credible counter to the Titans? And by "end-game" you mean "a ship that's so expensive to lose/time-consuming to replace, that if there's a reasonable chance they may be lost, they won't be fielded"?
You're thinking of "end-game" all wrong. End-game shouldn't be "ooh shiny ship", end-game should be "I am now a part of a space empire I fought hard to get, and have to keep fighting to keep". The latter part is missing, and the former is way too hard, locking way too many people out of "eve end-game", or forcing them to join blocs and blob up. |

Cut the tracking ??? Again WTF is wrong with you ??? All those skills, years of training wasted cos you whine like a FREAKING baby? Move on hun, get a better ship and fight the titan !
Boost the Titans and Supercaps ! Supercarriers should CARRY lots of SHIPS cos that's why they are called Carriers ! With pilots onboard ! Drop them on the battlefield and spill the enemy blood all over the place ! Yes, let's boost titans and supercarriers so they'll be even more numerous and still never be used when there's >1% chance you may lose them because the loss hurts so much. That'll certainly make wars more fun and last longer. |

There are still no actual need for strategies beyond "form up blob, smash through system x, smash through system y, break morale of opposing force, grind through remaining systems in region". Yes. Lets pretend this doesnt suit the CFC like hand in glove. I'm going to just assume you haven't read any of my other posts on the subject of SOV, then, so I'll reiterate.
The proper solution to the suckfest that is 0.0 warfare right now, is to make it easier to lose and gain a system, so that it's hard, effort-wise, to keep a large expanse of space under your control. If it's done right, both sides in any given war will also be able to have a certain amount of wins during any given day, thus improving morale and making wars actually last longer. Today's system is basically requiring blobs of ever increasing nature to form up and duke it out, if you don't you'll either never make any headway or you'll never defend the system (but the main challenge is on the invader's side).
Fix this design flaw, and this whole problem of "oh god titans" would be less, since it'd be easier to have a multiple system front, and you could potentially outfeint titan-heavy blobs, and smaller entities could actually have a chance in hell of carving out a part of 0.0 for themselves without having to have a bajillion titans/supers/dreads. This would lead to more, smaller, skirmishes, which would lead to less emphasis on a few FCs leading trillions of isk worth of equipment, which would mean that any given side would have more resilience through lighter losses, less risk of main FC burnout, and less morale burnout, which should in turn lead to less 2 weeks of war, 2 months of grind and more tons of small skirmishes. And the people in said fleets would have more of a reason to actually get to know the guys they're flying with, instead of everyone just being some ascii-****-spamming mouthbreathing fat **** trying to out-spam the next fat ****.
The fact that maggots with titans are now whining like utter babbies, however, is a pretty nice addition, I'll admit. |

So what 1of9 is trying to say is that the way things are today is just fine, with wars that are fun, challenging and last more than 2 weeks, and certainly doesn't break down into grinding structures for 2 months afterwards.
I guess we'll just carry on, then. Nothing to change here at all. |

Grath Telkin wrote:"Hi I'm Goonswarm and I should be able to win every fight by clogging the guns of my enemy with some mid level **** ship because we're newbie friendly", meanwhile, Soundwave, aka Stofferninjapirate or whatever his name was slowly does his best t20 impression trying to get whatever change pushed through that Goons want the most. "Hi, I'm PL, and I should be able to win every fight because I spent lots of isk to buy a big ship and I have lots of SP and I need me an end-game.", meanwhile totally ignoring the fact that at the strategic level, EVE is a 2 dimentional shithouse.
Which, I'm sure, would retain more bitter old vets if it was improved, than just having "big ships to train for". "Oh boy oh boy oh boy I get to activate yet another 1 month skill THIS GAME IS EXCITING NOW." |

I can almost afford a titan already through market fuckery, but I think I want to earn enough for 2-3 titans, so I need the botting guide which I can't find. |

Well duh, with the mudflation we've got now, and with the prevalence of supercaps, it's only logical that we create something new for the older players to train for. And I mean, we need something awesome, and supercaps just aren't awesome anymore, they're commonplace. Bring back the awe, CCP! |
