Xetu Noi DKP	Posted - 2008.04.08 18:52:00 - [4] Last week I was in (on another character) a 12 man fleet of non-nano'd ships. We tracked down and trapped an enemy fleet of 7 nano'd ships and then trapped them in a system with only 2 gates by having 6 of our guys on each gate. Even though they outnumbered each seperate gate defender group, and even though they had 5 friends in the next system on the connecting gate ready to come in and help at a moments notice, what did they do? 6 of them logged off, one stayed in the system cloaked. After 15 minutes of waiting we threw our hands up in disgust and left. 2 minutes later the 6 enemy logged back on and went on their merry way. Can we just figure out a way to give these log off guys free honor and marks so they can buy their epic pvp gear without wasting everyone else's time? oh wait......
Cornwaffles C0RNWAFFE	Posted - 2008.04.08 18:56:00 - [5] The problem is that basically anyone that jumps through a gate into a camp, can basically just log off. Regardless of weather or not they are tackled/getting attacked the ship will dissapear after 1 minute. I don't understand why this is possible, it almost makes pvp impossible without the consent of the other players. Utterly ********.
Gort Storm Guard Elite	Posted - 2008.04.08 19:01:00 - [6] The issue certainly separates the boys from the men.... I wish CCP would rotate the knob back up to hard on this one. G -- When in doubt, empty the magazine.
Suitonia interimo	Posted - 2008.04.08 19:06:00 - [7] Memph Yeah this thread is basically about coming through the gate, and logging off under gatecloak. In my opinion if you get tackled while performing the emergency warp then it should activate the standard 15 minute pvp timer. Since you would have got caught most likely anyway, had you not have had a accidental disconnect. The majority of ships that could have prehaps survived a gatecamp by manuvering, i.e. nanoships. Usually die to disconnects anyway because their ships don't have much EHP. And can't survive the 1-minute you have to kill the guy who logged off. --- I've always wondered about those Vagabond pilots...
Xetu Noi DKP	Posted - 2008.04.08 19:13:00 - [8] To me the issues of logging off at a gate camp to escape pvp and choosing to log off somewhere other than a gate when engaged in pvp but not being flagged with the 15 minute timer are one and the same: the ability to meta game your way out of pvp at will using log off feature. The fact that CCP hasn't fixed this glaring and easy to fix problem after all these years says as much about CCP's current state of paralysis as it does about the pathetic people who pretend they are playing a pvp MMO.
Dirk Magnum Spearhead Endeavors	Posted - 2008.04.08 19:20:00 - [9] Edited by: Dirk Magnum on 08/04/2008 19:20:36 Pack some recon probes, G. Also since when has logoff without aggression happened after only one minute? I thought it was two. Also since when has logoffski saved you from being bubbled or scrammed? Back when I first started playing I tried the logoffski thing while I was getting scrammed, and I logged back in to find myself dead. The guy was in an assault ship, so he couldn't have had probes. I mean obviously game mechanics change, but if that's the case here can someone confirm it?

Eventy One Magellan Exploration and Survey Phoenix Rising Alliance	Posted - 2008.04.08 19:39:00 - [11] Edited by: Eventy One on 08/04/2008 19:40:36 You know ... I really don't see how this is any less fair than sitting on a choke point with a gang, ganking people as they fly in (often out-numbering them). Are gate camping ****ers somehow more sporting than those who chicken out of PvP engagements by logging off? More noble perhaps? It seems to me that the balance issues are roughly equal. Certainly not everyone is logging off to avoid PvP, as there are still people getting victimized. What are you suggesting then? CCP to nerf log offs? I'm not going to suggest this post is a poor attempt at hiding a whine with a rhyme, but I'm really not seeing either the case or the posed solution.

That gate camping choke points and farming defenseless shuttles/haulers/noobs coming through it is lame, boring, and a a waste of time for anyone seeking pvp with a risk factor higher the 0 doesnt negate the fact that being able to meta game your way out of pvp combat at will is equally lame, boring, and a waste of time for anyone seeking pvp with a risk factor higher than 0. The answer isnt if two things are broken dont fix them because they vaguely balance each other out in some fashion. The answer is to fix them both.

Then his ship vanished because he had logged off before pvp was triggered on him. I must have misunderstood the original post. When they said he disappeared I interpreted it to mean he entered the million km warp-off that everyone does when logging off outside of a station, in which case probes would have been able to find him and allow the gang to kill him despite the fact that he logged off.
Methem interimo	Posted - 2008.04.09 02:59:00 - [25] I was there when this happened. Its a highsec war.. we spent over an hour following this guy around. He made a mistake and didnt scout. We had him by the balls.. But 1 minute into shooting his CNR he disappeared. The response to my petition was more or less to Adapt. I was flying a neut battleship instead of a dps one.. Thats why the CNR didnt pop. The only way to kill a battleship that does this is to have a high dps battleship.. I have one.. so I will adapt. Some people dont have that option though. I'm not a programmer but it dosent seem like it would take a lot of work to simply have an aggression counter start after the person logs off(when he is engaged). My 2 cents

Suitonia Gallente interimo	Posted - 2008.04.09 14:56:00 - [30] So the counter-argument for getting a 15-minute pvp timer while being engaged if performing an emergency warp is 'lol gatecampers are lame111!!11!". Which is completely a straw-man argument considering logoffski's can happen in safespots, missions and belts for example. Secondly, those big scary gatecamps that can be avoided by spending time looking at the map, scouting, intel channels. It's a complete undermine of 'non-consentual pvp' in my opinion. All it takes is to press 2 buttons on your keyboard to say "Sorry, I don't want to fight". It can be very frustrating when you spend 30 minutes tracking down, and probing your wartargets mission. Only to have him logoff as soon as he sees your arazu uncloak, or tackler in the mission. The only solution, and it's pretty **** poor is to bring more numbers so you can kill the target within 1 minute. --- I've always wondered about those Vagabond pilots...
