Nice patch with some much needed tweaks, but when does the expansion come out? When can we expect new ships and POS's? Or the lowsec/FW revamp? |

When CCP Senior Producer Jon Lander spoke of the highlights of Escalation in his vid blog at http://community.eveonline.com/en/inferno/article/28596/spring-summer-2012-release-overview-with-eve-senior-producer , he commented at 1:42 that some ship rebalancing was coming with this "patch". Some may have assumed he meant the upcoming (pointless and stupid) dessie/bc skill changes. I am wasting 10+ days training to skill level 5 in those skills. Not because of the difficulty of training these skills (I am spending well over one month training these skills), but because my neural map is all wrong. Had his comments not been misleading, I could have delayed until after a neural map I have coming.
Ten days wasted. Wasted. |

From the patch notes: "GÇóJettisoned containers and ship wrecks are now tagged with the owner, corp and fleet at the time of creation, rather than testing for loot-rights every time they are accessed"
Does this mean that NINJA looters now will turn red for the entire fleet instead of just the person's corp that did the final blow on the NPC?

Some people were wondering if wormhole corps would escape the nerf bat.
Well, now we know they won't.
In C5's and C6's you need to warp in cap ships to trigger the 4 different additional spawns of really tough, but lucrative Sleeper BS's.
People would use a mix of dreads and carriers.
With the doubling to 2000 on the sig radius, you can forget about a dread hitting a Sleeper BS.
Way to go CCP. You are really intent on removing every method of generating ISK in the game it seems.
Of course, except in null sec.
Looking forward to MORE inflation.
Guess no one told CCP that bounties create ISK, and mineral drops do not.
Do you think all those people in drone regions are just going to completely abandon their territory, and that all mission runners are going to skip all drone missions?
The way I look at it, you have likely nerfed about 4 trillion (out the orginal 9 trillion) from the Incursion ISK flow.
You have also nerfed out a goodly portion of ISK from wormholes (less Sleeper BS's dying = less stuff being cashed in with NPC buyers).
But you have given even more back with drone bounties versus mineral drops.
Really, a brilliant play CCP. More ISK in game chasing fewer minerals. Absolutely brilliant. |

Titan tweaking...more grist for the mineral shortage.
Out with the old philosophy that if Titan spends its time shooting sub-capital all the better for capitals attacking the Titan.
I think the point here is to make a Titan totally helpless in the face of sub-capitals. No longer can Titans "hide" in isolate systems during period of lesser activity and assume ability to defend themselves from small fleets that might find them until reinforcements can arrive.
By forcing Titans to ALWAYS have a large escort fleet (usually wise at most times before this change), Titans become more easily located. Large numbers of escorting fleet members will constantly be rotating out due to fatigue and boredom. Just follow the ant trail.
So...more Titan centered fleet battles and more Titans destroyed =
...higher demand for minerals.
Not a Titan fleet pilot, but sort of seems like Titan is more and more purely status symbol now and not otherwise effective to own. |

Dear CCP,
I am looking foward Escalation patch very much.
Unforunately there is no possible way Tranquility will be online ready to accept players at 12:00 UTC.
CCP's track record at deploying large patches and the resulting delays is very well known and documented.
Please do not give us unrealistic restart times as it just pisses everyone off, instead add at least 2 hours to the start time
so there is a buffer for the unexpected.
If you then manage to get the job done faster we will all be pleasantly suprise.
Pleasantly suprised = Good, Pissed off = Bad.
You really should know this by now.
Regards,
zerokmatrix (wanting to be pleasantly suprised) |

Out of siege is 1/2 of what it is now, why are you using your dread out of siege? |

Well, colour me disappointed that sig res of guns doesn't affect damage. There is no need to special-case, and increasing sig resmthisnway would have opened the opportunity for siege mode to halve the sig res so dreads would be the go-to platform for blapping enemy ships of battleship size and higher.
When are the R&D agent nerfs coming? Are they in this patch and just didn't make the notes?

"All common Rogue Drones will no longer drop alloys and will instead have bounties in line with other NPCs."
As seen on the test server the Rouge Drones are empty, however other faction rats like for example Angels are still dropping meta 1 - 4 mods, amo etc..... and hauler and trailer spawn are still dropping minerals with little difference in the bounties over all to compensate. Hence making all regions other than Drones more valuable.
If this was done to balance the games regions then the balance will be Alliances looking for better regions for ISK creation and compacting the user-able space again and more fights for it. A win for some and disaster for others.

the REAL carebears in Eve are the ***** ass high sec gankers that go around picking on people that have absoultely NO WAY AT ALL of defending or being in a competitive fight.
instead of balancing and forcing these little **tches to fight in fair matches, your making changes to allow them to pick on people that cannot defend themselves even MORE SO, quite often resulting in many new players leaving the game becuase they never get a chance to be competitive, and so just dont bother with it.
really got to wonder how they manage to increase sub numbers every year.....the stupiditiy is just amazing |

It seems to me that the modules should be sorted by increasing metalevel.

Uh, I'm confused. The patch notes say decreasing metalevel, but the words say increasing. Your counter flips both. I want the list in increasing order where metalevel 0 is first such that the theoretical cheapest and least powerful is listed first.
Ah, yes, you're right I hadn't noticed that either. I just saw "decreasing" and thought they were putting officer modules at the top.
I think everyone wants crappy modules at the top and awesome ones at the bottom. Let's go with that.

Yay, FINALLY! The mineral nerf is here. Now the elite 10% of the game pop can fall back on their endless stockpile of T2 and T3 ships while the newer, younger players that are despately trying to justify a subscription in a game where they cannot possibly be competitive have just been pushed even further down the tree.
Well done CCP, well done to you. I dont know how many magicians you employ, but the fact your sub numbers keep rising is honestly, genuinely, fascinating.

Loot Table Changes Show Some Industrialist Love
n++NPC ships will no longer drop manufacturable T1 loot. NPCs will continue to drop modules, however T1 items which have a blueprint will no longer drop, making player manufacturing the primary source for these items.
how is this industrial love ? who uses t1 meta 0 for anything but melting down for minerals ? how about damaged mods that the npcs were using. |

Hi CCP,
There is nothing in the patch notes about the new missile launcher graphics, and the inferno feature page no longer list that as one of the features that is coming up.
Has this been postponed until further notice? 
Thanks.

you get ganked by flying untanked haulers or exhumers, or by mining in places where ships are commonly lost.
there is no -other- test for reasonable fit or reasonable value/vs/tank in highsec other than other players. ie at this point in time, ganking is kinda necessary, because the game itself doesn't enforce skilled play or thought on fitting for hauling or mining (beyond max yield or max cargo). |

Actually, if you look at the charts at Eve-offline.net ( http://www.eve-offline.net/?server=tranquility ), you will notice that the number of subscribers have remained flat and has decreased at certain points.
The flattening out occured somewhere during spring of 2009, right around the time of "Holy Rage" where CCP banned 10-20% of active accounts due to botting and/or illegal RMT activity. Was this a coincidence? Was CCP revenues increasing because of the Professional Gamers?
Maybe it had nothing to do with CCP's change of priorities ( i.e. Dust 514, Incarna, etc) and instead it was due to the real world economy ( recessions, real estate collapse, etc). Possibly due to some other MMO launch, idk.
CCP has huge amounts of data in their database and only they know for sure. But I for one have noticed less activity/volume in the markets and online players than this same time last year.

As an old industrialist i envy the fact CCP is finally going to take on the industrial and construction pillar.
That being sad, these change are gonna screw up the market big time, and if CCP isn't gonna take on the issue of mining that has been moaned about for ages, it aint gonna improve.
I wont hesitate to say these changes should have been combined with mining changes, and as they are not i think CCP is making a mistake doing them now and not taking on the issue of mining itself first.
Hope they do pull this out of a hat really soon or the mineral market + construction market is gonna collapse over time.
PvP will get more expansive as ships price will rise beyond believe, witch is allready happening.
Even meta 0 is removed from the loot table, this i really don't understand, with out boosting some mining these changes are crap.
just my 2cents tho.
PS: Sinigr Shadowsong wrote:Does anyone find that normal rats have bounty+drops while drones have only bounty and no drops is unbalanced?
Also has a good point, this whole thing wasn't really thought over very well from my point of view. |
