Delay Local

It is doable, but it has too many factors what we cant control. For example i could dock up with my carrier and go afk the moment you choose to hunt carriers. It is somewhat rng based imo. Some day you might kill a carrier every hour, on another day you will not even find a carrier. Neither of the two situations make you good or bad, more like lucky and not lucky

(skill comes into play only AFTER you found the carrier)

You cant play smart?

Damn.
Maybe EVE isnt for you.

I know :stuck_out_tongue:
But according to Salvos if you can’t get more than 1 in 5 hours you’re a bad player

I know it’s mostly all up to luck, but hey, Salvos is a pro

@Salvos_Rhoska quote the whole thing instead of the part you want to focus on

1 carrier for however many participants in the roams, for 5hrs of effort, is bad.
If we assume the roam was 30 players, that’s 150 man hours, just for 1 carrier.

Seriously, its just not worth it.

Are you trying to tell me you cant fly smart with delayed Local intel?

No its not. Usually people with carriers do not rat for long periods of time, because it is pretty intensive, unlike vni semi-afk ratting. They could have hunted carriers in the wrong timezone or anything really.

I’m pretty sure I made my point clear enough that a kid in kindergarten would understand…

How can you prove you can do something with parameters that are non-existing?
:thinking:

Please explain that to us, the community.

I think they did a lot of things wrong.

Id be very unhappy with an FC that led a roam for 5hrs with 30 players, and netted only 1 carrier for 150hrs of man hours.

Not worth it.
Roam lacked intel, and as is the entire premise of this thread, with instant local intel, its a trivial matter for anyone except a retarded/afk/botter to warp to safe before they are ever at real risk.

You are free to think whatever you want, but we do not know what happened there. I was in coalition ops for 7 hours and in the end we lost. ■■■■ happens but it was worth it because we had fun. This is the only thing that matters.

He still thinks it was a roam, oh my god…

What was it then, if not a roam?
How many players?
Show us the kill.

Is hunting in EVE not synonymous with roaming?

If not, how are they different?

Nope

Re-read the question.
It specifically says “in EVE”.

<snipped waffle about why he can’t point to any actual risk in 0.0>

OK, so how exactly do you propose anyone prove that huge 0.0 alliances are too powerful?

Right so it’s not that you’re OP, it’s that you’re really clever… :rofl:

And you’re saying there shouldn’t be balance in the game if somebody took advantage of the imbalance.

It is not our problem you do not understand risk in game.

It is your concern…you have to figure that out.

OP how? You are aware of the fact that Goons have been on the losing side of conflicts as well as the winning side. You say this as if it is obvious. You really come off badly.

Whenever somebody writes, “And you are saying…” they inevitably look like an idiot. I am not saying anything of the kind. But if a player or a group of players “play smart” and gain an advantage that is totally fine in a MMO like EVE. EVE is a game where players pursue different strategies. Some are going to have better strategies than others and those with the better strategies will succeed.

This post basically says, “Hi, I don’t understand EVE Online, but I think it is broken even though I’m wildly ignorant.” You could be right, but so far you haven’t posted anything supporting your assertion. There is nothing informative, thoughtful, or useful in just about all your posts.

It is your problem that you can’t point to any risk in 0.0 and thus have to pretend I don’t understand it.

No. I was just checking if you were at all open to discussion. Apparently not.

There’s literally nothing that you can point to that you’d accept as proof. Therefore I don’t have to satisfy your burden of proof.

Whenever somebody writes, “And you are saying…” they inevitably look like an idiot.

Let’s assume you’re right about something for once. You then immediately followed it up with:

This post basically says, “Hi, I don’t understand EVE Online, but I think it is broken even though I’m wildly ignorant.”

Hoisted by your own petard… :joy:

it’s the exact same thing

there’s not 2351 definitions to the words, there’s one

stop being knowingly ignorant

e: image

don’t

Theese words made me check your killboard and huh it looks good :stuck_out_tongue:

Of course there is risk in 0.0. Go look at the lossmails in any NS region. There you go.

This is hilarious coming from such an obscurantist such as yourself.

You are claiming certain alliances are too powerful. Make the case. If you can’t then STFU.

If I point to it of course I’d accept it as evidence (proof is only possible in logic and math).

The STFU.

No. It is a summary of your posts to date. You don’t engage at all. You can’t even support your own contentions. At all. Ever. If you do have a good idea it would be an accident.

Your inability to understand how risk works in game is a fine example. Mitigating risk is what players are supposed to do. That they do it is not, in and of itself, bad. You unfortunately appear to be incapable of grasping this point. If CCP gives tools or changes mechanics that makes it mitigating risk to easy or too successful then there might be an issue. But you can’t even make this kind of an argument. And this criticism goes with just about any topic you participate in.
