Reikku	Posted - 2008.08.06 06:32:00 - [31] Originally by: Plave Okice Have you forgotten what this game was supposed to be about? Where are the old devs who made this game a dark and harsh universe? Originally by: CCP Fear Be safe out there! Hopefully this answers to your question of where CCP is steering this game.
Vaal Erit Science and Trade Institute	Posted - 2008.08.06 06:35:00 - [32] Originally by: Dev blog In addition, the highly requested feature of removal of insurance in CONCORD related events will be implemented in the near future. Do NOT put this in. This is a hugely terrible change. If you want to modify insurance, then MODIFY INSURANCE. Explain to my why suiciding ganks get no insurance, but SUICIDING into 0.0 or SUICIDING your own ship via self-destruct gets you insurance. Explain to me why Pend Insurance Inc. would insure any ship that is to be flown by a player in a 0.0 alliance or a -10.0 pirate or someone who loses 10 ships a day or someone shooting Gallente/Amarr/Minmatar/Caldari ships in a mission. No, if insurance doesn't make sense for suicide ganking then you have to modify it for ALL types of SUICIDING and RISKY behavior. This is a bad move CCP. If you do this, there needs to be balance, a way for pirates to increase security standings or at least get SOMETHING cool out of it. The pirates/suicide gankers and such are the people providing non-NPC content, nerfing them is penalizing players for interacting with each other in a god damn mf'ing MMORPG. The rest of the changes I don't care about, but FFS no insurance on suiciding ships is flat-out caving to the whiners, you have ZERO basis or reasoning on this change and I'm calling you out right now. Nerfing level 4 missions is a "highly requested feature" so where is that? -- http://desusig.crumplecorn.com/sigs.html

Viper ShizzIe The Illuminati. Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2008.08.06 06:40:00 - [34] Glad to see that a decrease in the profitability is also being included in this hisec PvP nerf. Oh, wait. Did every single person at this company get heat-stroke in Morocco and decide to make idiotically stupid changes to game mechanics?
Harris AFK	Posted - 2008.08.06 06:40:00 - [35] I don't think its sad. It places consequences in your way that you have to consider more seriously than before. Isn't that what Eve is about Ganking will still happen - which is good. I suspect it will be more intel-driven targets now, rather than 'just-happened-to-scan-his-cargo-at-the-gate-and-liked-what-I-saw'. I particularly like the fact that there will be some sort of difference between Hi & Null sec rather than just acting as a buffer zone between 0.1 and 0.4. I think that should be developed further in the future.

Nelson Vandermark Black Omega Security Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2008.08.06 06:44:00 - [37] Wow CCP kinda of crumble pretty hard.
Harris AFK	Posted - 2008.08.06 06:48:00 - [38] Originally by: Vaal Erit ....you have ZERO basis or reasoning on this change... The fact that just engaging the target would allow you to break even in some cases so that everything that dropped would be profit is the basis and that's plenty imo. I do agree that the base insurance at least should continue to apply as a minimum if you lose your ship in any circumstances. Perhaps it should work that you only get your 'premium insurance' payout if you lose your ship to other players (as opposed to CONCORD) or NPC (i.e criminal) pirates. Don't know how the logic would apply to FW tho...
Khamal Jolstien Caldari The Monkey Sanctuary	Posted - 2008.08.06 06:48:00 - [39] Originally by: Plave Okice Have you forgotten what this game was supposed to be about? Where are the old devs who made this game a dark and harsh universe? Quoted for emphasis. Where are you guys? CCP? Anyone? The nano-nerf I can understand, but seriously? The main drawing point to the game is being phased out.
Tomic The Illuminati. Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2008.08.06 06:56:00 - [40] Oh great, another move to carebears online.

Nautsyn Thome Minmatar Shark Investments	Posted - 2008.08.06 06:56:00 - [41] CCP you took my only weapon against Makrominers away! Please do not let them destroy our game. If you take suicide ganking away, PLEASE remove THEM first!
Jim Raynor Caldari Shinra	Posted - 2008.08.06 06:56:00 - [42] Lame. Mega Ultra Lame. All you are doing is reinforcing people to be stupid. AFK Industrials ahoy. ------ I'll make a sig later.
Andrue Amarr	Posted - 2008.08.06 06:57:00 - [43] Interesting ideas but I think it could go further. How about allowing a security gain (or at least no loss) for ganking someone with bad security standing? -- (Sarcastic mission running veteran, 4+ years) [Brackley, UK] My budgie can say "ploppy bottom". You have been warned.
Maximillian Power Minmatar Legio Immortalis	Posted - 2008.08.06 07:00:00 - [44] I don't understand why the criminals whine. Think this is a good thing myself - Always thought suicide ganking was too easy. It will still happen. It will still happen a lot. People will still make a lot of ISK from it. The fact that you need to work a lot more after doing it to get back in and do it again is a good thing. The fact that the target has to have a more in their hold is a good thing. What does this really mean: 1. It is still very profitable and worthwhile ganking a newb ship or hauler with faction goodies. 2. That freighter you want to gank better have some nice stuff in there before you spend 12 domis (or whatever it is these days) to pop it. 3. Smart gankers will still make a lot of ISK. 4. More and more people will still afk with stupidly expensive stuff in their holds. 5. No-one will read this through the haze of whining.
Little Matt Caldari New Fnord Industries Black Scope Project	Posted - 2008.08.06 07:01:00 - [45] Edited by: Little Matt on 06/08/2008 07:01:27 What I find amusing and not at all ironic is the people who are complaining about this. Or, more accurately, their affiliations. Pandemic Legion, REPO, Incredibly brave forum alts (pirate characters maybe?) etc...
Reikku	Posted - 2008.08.06 07:07:00 - [46] Originally by: Little Matt Edited by: Little Matt on 06/08/2008 07:01:27 What I find amusing and not at all ironic is the people who are complaining about this.

Empire carebears dreaming of rainbows and absolutely riskless afk-mining not complaining and those who thought they were playing a game where no place was safe complaining. Didnt see that coming.
Kazuma Saruwatari Caldari	Posted - 2008.08.06 07:07:00 - [47] About time. I'm all for suicide ganking and all, but having 2-month-old newbies trying to take on a T2 tanked indy just to grab the named T1 loot I haul around is a bit grating. going in, I get agressed by t1 frigates going out, I get agressed by the same two, now in cruisers (yay) Both cases, new CONCORD spawn. Only damage done: Lag. -
MarcusCole Gallente Spacelane Ghosts	Posted - 2008.08.06 07:09:00 - [48] While you're nerfing different playstyles into oblivion would you care to take a look at the players who spend their entire careers in noob corps, unable to be attacked and generally not interacting with others at all. If say after 3 months (arbitrary time) they were moved into their factions militia via some sort of graduation ceremony idea it would provide some sort of gradual introduction to the harshness of eve without making them entirely fair game in high sec. In addition they should not be allowed to rejoin the starter corp, the factional militia BECOMES their default corp. the nerf bat should swing both ways
Apertotes Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2008.08.06 07:10:00 - [49] Originally by: Andrue Interesting ideas but I think it could go further. How about allowing a security gain (or at least no loss) for ganking someone with bad security standing? well, you know, not everybody can kill any thief/murderer, only the police, and the police, on EVE, is concord. but i think your idea would be perfect for 0.0, but sadly security gains/losses are deactivated there
Ron Wright Shark Investments	Posted - 2008.08.06 07:16:00 - [50] Originally by: Andrue Interesting ideas but I think it could go further. How about allowing a security gain (or at least no loss) for ganking someone with bad security standing? Would be good for LowSec Systems!

I agree that the game mechanic "suicide gank" is not a very good thing. I am NOT a criminial, but it was the ONLY thing i could do against makro's! Petitioning them did absolutly nothing. And if it does, it takes way too long. You all who think "great job CCP, suicide ganking sucks" please understand that there are worse things in eve, which mean even more unbalance in this game, like makros. -unfair wars (due more financial power) -real money trading -unfair ressources (pos fuel en mass) -ruined pos fuel market and therefore -ruined gameplay as an ice miner (who realy sits in his mackinaw)because it's absolutly not worth the time A Makro-group of 6 Accounts makes 500 mio isk a day, in a week, all of this accounts payed their online fee for a month, and in the remaining 3 weeks they make 1,5 billion isk! please ccp do not let this happen anymore! ffs
Kern Hotha	Posted - 2008.08.06 07:17:00 - [52] None of the security changes are necessary. Removal of insurance payout for Concord actions is necessary (and long overdue).
Kyguard Game-Over The Requiem	Posted - 2008.08.06 07:19:00 - [53] Originally by: Little Matt Edited by: Little Matt on 06/08/2008 07:01:27 What I find amusing and not at all ironic is the people who are complaining about this. Or, more accurately, their affiliations. Pandemic Legion, REPO, Incredibly brave forum alts (pirate characters maybe?) etc... I am complaining, where does that put me? PL pet or something more sinister.. If you don't have anything constructive to add apart from CAODesque and trolling comments, don't hit the post button. -- I gotta give in to the insurance changes as I can see that as a good countermeasure to people using 5m cheap BS to highsec gank. However, the rest of the changes are absolute garbage and I don't say that about any change I dislike or don't agree with. This is a path that I believe is steering away from the dark and unforgiving universe of eve that we all know and love. I don't know where you get your information from, but the grind from negative sec status to positive sec status is not an easy one nor a short one. It requires patience and it really is as I called it, a grind. There's fun about it the first few days and then it ends and turn into neverending weeks of this activity. Finally, with this change you would be promoting more afk play than present. Even at present with how highsec security mechanics, you still have a large number of the playerbase that conduct afk play in empire, some pay for it, some don't and some learn, some don't learn. The way eve is right now, there is a perfect-sized gap between security of traveling AFK in empire and traveling at the wheel. This patch would shorten that gap too much from where I'm standing and I'm sure a lot of people would agree with me. -
Daan Sai HAZCON Inc	Posted - 2008.08.06 07:21:00 - [54] Originally by: Bellum Eternus The funny thing is, this won't even slow down the high sec killings that much. It may raise the bar a bit on what is considered worth killing, but it won't stop it. Thank God. Second time in a week I agree with the Pirate! It may cut down on 'I'm bored...' ganking, and make it more purposeful when it happens. This should work towards a balanced cost/reward system, and I really hope it doesn't stop high sec ganking. BTW, did I miss a bit? The mentioned that they thing ratting back up sec status is too easy, and didn't say what they were doing to change that.
Kyguard Game-Over The Requiem	Posted - 2008.08.06 07:34:00 - [55] Originally by: Ralitge boyter Finally CCP does know how to make a game fun it just takes them a while to actually implement these kinds of things. Current ganking is really taking some of the fun out of playing EVE, even in high sec space moving around in anything smaller then a Battle Cruiser is basically waiting to die. Add some lagg to that and you will usually be crawling out of a clone vat before you even saw anyone at the gate when you are in anything smaller then a BC. Not true. If you are at your computer traveling manually (this game isn't meant to be played afk duh) the chance to be killed is reduced by a lot. Add a good fit and it's reduced even more. Also this only applies if you are carrying valuables in your cargo. -
Miasia KDZ - Academy	Posted - 2008.08.06 07:39:00 - [56] When will this change hit the testserver?
Hugh Ruka Exploratio et Industria Morispatia	Posted - 2008.08.06 07:43:00 - [57] the only reasonable change id the CONCORD spawn composition and the insurance change. The security status mechanic changes are incomplete. 1. REMOVE security gains from rats if somebody is less than -1 sec status 2. less than -1 sec status players ONLY gain sec status by killing players with lower sec status than theirs. Means you are -10 forever ... That would be fair. --- SIG --- CSM: your support is needed !
Ambo Dirty Deeds Corp. Axiom Empire	Posted - 2008.08.06 07:47:00 - [58] Good changes then new system makse much more sense. -------------------------------------- Trader? Investor? Just want to track your finances? Check out EMMA
THEGREAT LOBO Beyond Divinity Inc	Posted - 2008.08.06 07:48:00 - [59] Anymore whiners you want to give into ccp ? What the hell is happening to this game? You are very lucky there is so little competition in the sci fi mmo market. Whats next, you going to outlaw scamming ? corp theft? Make ransoms petitionable ? And no, I have never suicide ganked anything, my sec status does not allow me to get into empire to do such things.
Apocryphai Caldari State Protectorate	Posted - 2008.08.06 07:51:00 - [60] This is pathetic. I've never suicide ganked but protecting yourself from it it easy. Don't fly untanked haulers AFK. Simple. Removing insurance for all Concord losses is idiotic. It's so easy to get accidentally Concorded in EVE, especially for newer players, and this will make those mistakes very painful for people. Why not a sliding scale? One Concord death in a week gets reimbursed, more than that and you're on your own. Should protect most accidental losses whilst not giving too much to the gankers. Typical CCP, completely heavy-handed and caving in to forum whiners. Sad to see the way this game has gone downhill since the launch of the failed China venture. Would love to get those old devs back, the crappy ones left behind have no vision. ________________________________________________________________ Originally by: Victor Valka What the skull-chick said.
