Yarrr with me brothers!!!!
P.S. This will increase war dec's on small empire corps 10x and turn empire into a warred out wasteland.
Thats the attitude! If anything pirate corps can just start wardeccing and atleast they get 24 hours to kill to their hearts content.
Hope you got a lot of money and patience with corphopping then. Vote against the nano nerf! |

I actually see more high-sec ganks coming with this change, at least for a while after the change, as the carebears will be lulled into a false sense of security.
I like the variable sec hit for system security level, think it is long overdue. I also, in principal, like a variable by standings difference, although I don't like the implementation here. If you shoot someone with a negative standing, it should increase your standing to CONCORD, not decrease it. Should be just like shooting NPC rats , perhaps CONCORD bounties placed on individuals too
To those complaining about the decreased security hit in low-sec, two points...1) encourages you to kill more shit....how can that be bad? and 2) reduces the hit that people take to proactively engage you, meaning you might get more real fights, instead of ganking only carebears.....how can that be bad unless you are a griefer?

We have super-star game designers, they want to change everything. Here's the tip, dumb-asses: Eve is good as it is. At most it needs some minor tweak here and there over time. If you have an issue deal with it, don't change game mechanics that have nothing to do wit the issue and that are not broken.
Remove insurance for high-sec ganks, it's ok and it makes sense. An insurance company would never insure for illegal activities.
No, too easy for "CCP Fear", the super-game-designer has to show he really is a pro. And we get tons of crap ideas like in this dev blog. Look how smart he is, you get 1% less penalty loss for each point of relative difference in concord standing between aggressor and victim.

Sheesh. PvPers are always the biggest whiners in any MMO, but I swear, EVE's players raise it to a whole new level.
PvP is not going away. Want pew pew? Join faction warfare. Move to 0.0. Wardec somebody. Join a mercenary corp. Gank a faction-fit battleship.
We just got a huge content upgrade dedicated entirely to PvP, but when the rules are changes to make ganking newbies and mining barges less profitable, all you see is "WAAAAH CCP STOP CATERING TO CAREBEARS!! SO NOT FAIR!!"

Hmm, I guess I just missed it, but I assume that along with these changes, you will also remove all bugs and useability problems with the Overview?
Because, let's face it, the number one reason for being Concordokkened is a misclick of one kind or another. I've never done a suicide gank in all my EVE career, but I've lost count of the number of ships I've lost to Concord because of bugs, lag, tiredness or just plain stupidity.
The sec status hit from an accidental attack shouldn't be that much of a problem for a non-pirate, but losing a fully insured and fitted BS costs somewhere around 150M if you get no insurance payout. This is a big deal for a lot of players, and it is generally very hard to get any reimbursement for bugs involving the Overview.
My suggestion would be, make the sec status changes, but don't touch the insurance payouts. It's not like it's free to lose a BS anyway, just because it's insured.

Along with the other recent dev blogs, all of this gives the impression of "too much, too fast".
Please start by removing the insurance payout from CONCORD-caused ship kills and see what happens.
The shotgun debugging approach that you are taking currently makes it quite difficult determine which specific change is causing a resultant effect.

I'm just gonna come out and say whats on everyone elses mind here. It is a lot more fun to ruin a carebears gameplay experience and drive him to quit the game then it is to shoot someone who wants to be shot in return. Most of us get a lot of enjoyment out of getting pubbies to cry and moan and talk about how life isn't fair and then rage quit over it. Nothing is more satisfying then ruining the game for someone else or for an ISK farmer.

Quote: The changes to security standings will make it harder for players to casually gank another player, and creates a challenge, so that if you are going to kill someone, you better realize the consequences. We are also considering merging EVE Online with Hello Kitty Online.

Edited by: Qual on 06/08/2008 14:18:08 1st priority should have been "no pay out".
But hey, you cant win 'em all.
Sec loss based on sec sounds resonable to me, though I would set the curve so that 0.4/0.5 was equal to today and go from there.
Taking char sec status into the equation seems a bit over the top tbh. I would scrap that for now and see how the rest works out first.
Concord response time? Did that really need fixing? Me thinks not!

Originally by: CCP Fear But we want to discourage people to gank for giggles. It's just not sporting.
Erm... Well no it isn't. But thats kind of the point, surely? Just like belt piracy, scamming, gatecamping, can baiting, ganking, and so on, and so on... None of these are sporting. And yet is a large basis of what made Eve unique.
Now I don't agree that the sky is falling like some of the more vociferuous pilots are saying, but it does seem to be a step in slowly removing the elements that made Eve stand out in the first place. A shame really.

I don't think Eve was designed with the intention of being a griefer's game or a game to take pleasure on other people's miseries. Perhaps this isn't the game you're looking for.

Originally by: CCP Fear Some answers to your questions;
These changes are on the test-server right now. So SISI is your way to go for testing this out.
Low security (0,3-0,1) is basically getting a reduction in security penalty from it's current values. So in essence, the lowest of security, just got harsher.
When we first started with this process, by brainstorming. We decided that it should not completely close off suicide ganking, but to raise the bar, make it so that it can be done, but will require some planning, thought and effort.
This is mainly focused on the no-risk no-thought ganking, that has killed thousands in the last few months.
I am in awe of those who spend weeks in planning, infiltrating, scheming and plotting against another player, just to be able to pop his freighter full of dysprosium. THAT is something i find amazing and i do not want to stop. And the reason for that, is the amount of work that went into the planning. That is cool IMO.
And that is still possible. But we want to discourage people to gank for giggles. It's just not sporting.
EVE is still harsh, and it punishes you for being careless and AFK. And this change, doesn't change that.

"Welcome to World of Minecraft, where you can macro to your hearts content in the warm, cuddly embrace of Concord." - CCP
This change makes it abundantly clear who CCP listens to and cares about. Macro-miners and Empire missioners get immediate results with their constant whinging and vast numbers, while 0.0 alliances are forced to wait years for responses after writing detailed manifestos.
CCP just gave up even trying to make design decisions themselves, delegating that to the CSM. It's too bad CCP can't be arsed to play their own game and actually see how their own game mechanics work. Can't really blame them, though, the game isn't that well documented.
Used to be that Eve-O was about the harsh, unforgiving environs of space, and the social consequences of your actions. Now it's clear CCP wants it to be about the warm comfort of AFK macro mining and Empire missioning.
Space just got a little safer. ------ NAPs (nap means we wonĘt kill you today, maybe, but thatĘs all that means unless you help and contribute to coalition or being useful to us there is no obligation for us to keep that +standing |

Originally by: MarcusCole 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
I'd vote for this, and I'm in an NPC corp. It's an exploit, but at the moment a legal and widely-used one.
NPC corps should not be used as a shield against aggression. I admit I'm in the NPC corp ONLY to provide protection from wardecs-- it sure isn't for the stimulating conversation or because I love ISK-seller spam. |

Increase the % chance that the victim's items will drop as loot, rather than be destroyed, to counterbalance this nerf.

these proposed changes are great. there's just one thing missing: most people go into high-sec ganking for profit. a ship that is destroyed by concord should not get any insurace payout...
the other proposed changes are great - let's see how that changes the makeup of the galaxy. (Can we have concord agents back please (two of each level per empire)? A positive standing with concord makes sense now...) --- "Multiple exclamation marks are a sure sign for a diseased mind." -Terry Pratchett |

The security sec "buff" to pirates is great. It makes low-sec pirating not as brutal on your security status, I'm very pleased with this.
Suicide ganking will still be possible. I've done it twice myself, 1 successful, 1 not. It's fun, and a great way to strike back against macro miners.
Insurance...well, I think completely removing insurance from Concord intervention is a bad idea. How about this, if a ship gets blown up while ganking, and in the process of ganking they result in the destruction of a ship, they forfeit insurance, otherwise insurance still applies.

Not Sporting? I cannot believe you wrote that. Since when has Eve ever been about gentlemen's rules or being polite and "sporting"? Eve is supposed to be harsh and brutal.
How can you possibly state that a change that makes Empire even safer for afk macro miners and missioners doesn't reward being careless and AFK
I can't believe you're allowed to have input on game design. |

I'm not in favor of hassle free freighter travel. As a freighter pilot myself, part of the reward balancing is determining how much ISK you are willing to risk on a trip thru Niarja, etc. The fact that people that are 'relatively' safe lose ships and other items is an intrinsic part of what made my friends wish to play eve in the first place. Turning this into WoW is NOT the way to proceed forward.

I have the solution for you all:
1. High sec gankers can go to WoW pvp servers, level to 70 and then gank 20's in Ashenvale. 2. High sec carebears can go to WoW pve servers and do whatever.
That will also solve Jita lag.
There, I want a Noble prize now.

1. You're decreasing CONCORD response time. Fair enough. But the very least you could do is tell us how much you are decreasing response time.
2. You are decreasing the amount of CONCORD that spawns. That's good, because currently they are a huge cause of lag. But why does it matter that their frigate locks faster than their battleships when every ship has infinite tackle, CONCORD deactivates all modules and evading CONCORD is an exploit?
3. You're making sec loss even higher in high sec. I don't think you understand exactly how bad it is right now. I think a dev should have to grind up a -5 character and add his input before this change is implemented.
4. You're removing insurance for CONCORD losses - why? Over suicide gankers? What about the dozens of ships that are CONCORD'd accidentally every day? I think you've fallen down a slipperly slope.

there was a big thread 4 months ago about this topic here
just because it is satisfying for me i will quote myself on the 23rd of April of 2008, at 11 in the morning.
Originally by: Apertotes it will happen the same with this. there is no need of any evidence. it is just time, until CCP decides that paying insurance to criminals is no longer within the spirit of the game, and they will reafirm the change with lots of big words about honorability, morality, economy health and bOObs.
everybody will applaud them for doing so. a few will fill the forums with threats to leave the game with 400 alts, and fewer still will wonder how on earth that was not against the spirit of the game some weeks ago.
oh my God, how sweet it feels now. keep crying, it will make it even more rewarding
