Our goal for the Sleepers was to make each encounter more like a PvP battle, so if you bring a solo BS against a gang of Sleepers you are going to lose, hard. Unless you are that good, guess we'll have to see.
Awesome stuff so far.
However..
If the w-space npc are going to act like players will they also have the same weakness as in your ew/neut/damp mods work on them to full effect. So you could use a tanked bs to bait the npc into engaging then uncloak the falcon and warp in the support then *pop* goes the npcs? Or will the mods not be as effective due to the 'higher' tech of the sleepers and your 'normal' pvp gang setup will get you killed?

You fail CCP, FAIL!!! It would not have been so much fail per se if you would have said that "we might add aliens" rather than "we will NEVER"(TM).
Fail!
Luckily JGE is coming!

Frankly, I think trying to make w-space gang oriented is a bad idea, because most players won't ever go and do it, and it will ultimately benefit large corps the most.
if you can't get 3 people together you fail.
the wormholes will close if too many people go through, so you won't want a lot of people.
this will let small corp compete with large ones.
Personally I think 3 to 5 people will be the optimal size for at least the lesser 0.0 w-space and lower with the devs hinting that the lowest quality high sec w-space will be soloable. For the top quality 0.0 w-space who knows whats guarding the really good stuff like a dyprosium moon or some uber exploration site. Then you might need to figure out how to get a larger group into the system. |

stuff.
If you had read the other dev bog thread right above this one you would know that there is always a way out of a w-system. It might not lead to where you want but it will lead to somewhere. As far as drones you are going to have to micro them like you would in pvp and not just collect aggro from the room then send them out. This is ok becuase you will only be facing a few very powerful ai enabled rats at once instead of a swarm so just bring a buddy in a falcon to jam them all and have at it. Well that is if they are just as vulnerable to pvp tactics as player ships. Haven't got an answer to that question yet. |

The new ai will only effect mining ops in a w-system. All other rats except the officer spawns in 0.0 will stay the same. For now..  |

Please don't wait too long to bring the improved AI though all missions, not just the high end officers and sleepers.
Training up folks on the old npc rats is really not useful.
Indeed. I would just adore having the general in the last extravaganza room do something more than die horribly. Plus the bonus room could actually have a nice drop cause the npc in it would be uber and not pushovers like they currently are.
Do Want Now Plz.

Question 1: Is any of this content for casual players, or for players who want a relaxed lifestyle. Are we going to have to have fleets to kill NPC's now? For people who play EvE in one hour time blocks, this will make the game impossible to play if they have to spend an hour setting up a fleet.
How will this make the whole game impossible to play for you? Not all content is meant for solo players in a massively multiplayer game, big surprise.
I agree with Tesal. Some folk only get time for an hour or so a week to play. I think it should be considered in the overall scheme of the game.
According to the devs a portion of the new content will be soloable if you find a high sec empire to w-space connection that has a low level w-system. Possibly even higher level w-systems once the new ai enabled npc tactics are figured out and a weakness can be exploited.
