CCP removes suspect flagging from Abyss sites!

Had a conversation today with one who wanted to confirm the flag is gone to start farming T4 again. He is running Abyss as main income source, and says he makes 1-1.5B per day with T3. He is one who only stopped farming T4 because he got killed (by me).

I started to doing them again after the break. All that talking about them make me thirsty :yum:. Unless he farm all day, there is no way of that kind of money from T3. Hulls are usually not worth building, mutas are of worst tier so very cheap, mats drops in low quantity. Books are profitable but rare. You can do 4-5 per hour I think.
Edit: but doing them all day can make trig syndrome. I was fighting in A space for 3 hours one day. After a while I cannot tell which pocket I doing 2 or 3 or is it a new dungeon already? :grinning:

Maybe, he was one I saw always running when I was on. I was curious about how many sites per day, but he already left the chat or didn’t see my question.

T3 are not that easy as someone may think. I got 2xdrifter+4 leshaks in one sitting today. My passive gila droped below 25% shield at evey pocket. If he’s using blitz fit 4-5 per hour is doable, especially with gunboat. Gila is slow.

Yes, he uses a gunboat.

I’ve tried phantasm. Sometimes I’ve single shot smaller targets but it needs bling to shine, already fed it to trifaced gods of abyss and it was only T2…
I really wish there is more diversity missiles/drones are boring gameplay.

I know two T4 farmers using Phantasms.

Hopefully a lot of people will be dumb enough to try T4/5 and die horribly in them.

Definetly :slight_smile:

I don’t see any phantasms kills on your kboard.

Correct, they were lucky to not get my visit for different reasons. Both posted their fits, one you will find here on the forum.

You can do that on lvl 4 missions also, it depends how many hours you are calling a day as to what that means. So that’s a meaningless figure even if it is true, as most people also over estimate their incomes in EVE.

2 hours of super ratting

Since I have a couple days off, I decided to give my HS toon a good go. Made 2.4 bil yesterday playing practically all day minus breakfast, lunch, dinner, shower and 2 animes (BTW season 3 of Attack on Titan is going in case anyone is interested).

However, I got lucky cause I caught the upswing on the market so I got an excellent return on my LPs, which does not happen often. Luckily for me, people are buying some stuff out like crazy for preparation for next week. Normally it’d be around 1.2-1.5 bil for an all day session like this.

But, I didn’t have to use a 2-3 bil ship with another 1.5-2 bil worth of implants to do it. Regular plain T2 just the damage mods went faction for the extra deeps. And I could chill, go take a leak, go grab a beer, talk to people, just play and chill while doing all the stuff. This, the abyss just can’t compete with.

Which is precisely why it shouldn’t try to.

Let missions be for money. Abyss has other stuff to offer. The trig ships will reach a price equilibrium at some point just like everything else, so I’m not overly concerned with the short-term prices of them. The one and only thing that can or will save this content, is going to be making the plasmids worthwhile. I won’t clog this thread with my ideas on that, but plasmids are going to make or break this content in the end. If they can’t overhaul the entire mutation system and make it work for a broader base, this content will fail.

I was cringing so badly reading your comments that I simply feel like I should give you a reality check, aka I will complain about you complaining about the other guy complaining. In other words, give you feedback.

Complaining is the most basic thing that you can do as a human being. It’s also called feedback, negative one. When you shove your head up your rear, your body is complaining to you that it hurts so you should probably stop doing it. If you own a bakery and people complain that your bread smells, when you tell them to shove it because that’s how you make your bread, then their natural response is to go buy bread from the bakery next door who probably listens to customer complains aka FEEDBACK and tries to improve their product.

The world we live in has improved over the centuries because people have COMPLAINED. Companies who offer goods and services have realized that by taking COMPLAINTS aka FEEDBACK into account, they can improve their products and make bigger profits. If you’ve left you’re house, at all, you might’ve noticed how much importance we put on peer and customer feedback nowadays so that we can improve, both ourselves, our products and ultimately our lives.

Dude, complaining is not a bad thing. TLDR.

As someone who runs T5 abyssal sites back to back, I have offered CCP my own feedback. My feedback was mixed. On the one hand I really like doing this activity, for reasons, on the other hand I have a big gripe with the disconnect death. In my neighborhood, last month, for two weeks we’ve had a problem with the electricity, which kept going out at random times a day. Every time my power went out I was telling myself how I’ve spared myself a big expense by not running abyssals. Since last week the problem seems to have ameliorated, but now I’m running abyssals with a big carrot up my rear because I’m afraid my power or my internet will go down and lose my ship, which is completely out of my control. In real life, problems such as these happen. I have called the electricity provider and COMPLAINED to them and as a result they seem to have fixed the issue, at least for now.

So you see, douchebag, by complaining you let the company know that their product or service might have some issues.

Now ask yourself this, if CCP doesn’t take COMPLAINTS into account and says, just like you, “Oh, this is our content, this is how we have envisioned it, and if you don’t like it go to hell” What do you think would happen? Just like in the bakery example, people would stop consuming your product and do something else. How would a provider feel about their product being rejected? Should they be happy? Should they shrug and move on? Or do they try to fix it by listening to community feedback? Feedback can be positive, can be mixed, can be negative aka COMPLAINTS.

I hope you will use more than 2 fried neurons next time around. Reality check for you.

PDS emergency supply, will last long enough to complete a site.
Obviously if the internet wires have issues at the same time there isn’t anything you can do about that, but you can keep the router and your computer powered.
Now having to spend that money for a failing of your provider just to not lose 5 billion isk in game, a bit sucky, but there is a solution available.

I honestly do not care for anyone’s opinion when it opens straight with a personal complaint about me. All you then do is to try and squeeze out yet another complaint and force it onto others like a stubborn child stomping its feet.

You then go as far as using your electrical problems as some sort of justification for making complaints on the Abyss when you already know it’s entirely your own fault. That’s a far reach and you know it, too.

Nobody is going to care for a wannabe Abyss runner who tries to find reasons why complaining would matter. It doesn’t, especially when the content is meant to punish you hard and will most definitely make you complain.

Accept that you suck at it, move on and HTFU.

If gambling was allowed in EvE I would be betting the farm this event is going to be an utter failure.

it HAS to be said

Please insert any type of event in EvEs history where some jerk who ddos’s the server gets the pleasure of knowing he has killed at least 100 pilots and their pods before?

You think ddos is a problem now? You sure have confidence making an event like this.

No I don’t need a crystal ball, I see the nature of people.
