Nerf Ganking Megathread

Having a great time playing with such an intellectual and fun crowd. I must say that I have never played with such a generous loving community, well In the gaming world. That being said, today is my B-day. As soon as I’ve made a couple more hundred mil my AG efforts will be going back online. Unfortunately funding is the biggest issue. You see my tent needs repairs “duct tape”, Have you seen the prices recently? this is keeping me from spending what donations I get on the street for plex. Anyone wanting to Help do some AG please get a hold of me in-game. Most of you will know this is an alt of a march hair.

Likely, because you had mainly T2 modules fit, which rated you as a “dangerous” target, even in a Nereus; and it was a solo kill by a Gnosis on a hauler (which often seem to have inflated points value when it’s a solo kill).

Algorithms aren’t always perfect, but on the plus side, you are dangerous Frostpacker. Take it as a win.

Your humorous post prompted me to make a humorous post which involved chess. Face it, you brought a t1 joke to a t3 stage and lost your king in the process. You should be ashamed and making at least 3 rage posts about losing.

I was shooting the Gnosis with fireworks to celebrate the inevitable explosion. It was taking damage from the stargate guns and I did use the ecm.

Reason for saying such and on this thread in question is that ganking does not need to be nerfed at all. Notice there were no warp core and who knows that Gnosis could have had lost their loot too.

Frostpacker is only a threat to the roids, we must remember I am a Miner. Aiko had issued that title which I wear with pride.

/ If anything the Ganking needs a Buff and I think Eve Online Evolved will achieve what is needed;

I’m not sure CCP will still be around when the last supermassive black holes evaporate from Hawking radiation.

Sigh. If someone says ‘its raining cats and dogs’…do you then consider it a ‘victory’ to point out that clouds don’t create cats and dogs ?

Bro, just say “I’m pro-ganking” and leave it at that. Your “Myth” list is laughable opinion. I read this actually thinking you had something worth saying, but you just tried to gas light people and sell them snake oil.

The sarcasm is what’s going to get us over that 10,000 target.

If Eve players were allowed to guide “newer, better, more exciting” chess. I think those are Triglavians up there warping the board.

Excellent

Ganking is all but a drop of water in the ocean in Eve economy. Ganking is no economical powerhouse, and not even sure where this myth comes from. It does create destructions, but I bet it is less the Abysal PVE.

Good to see I don’t miss anything when not here; we are successful at talking about nothing.

For all of you that keep saying you never get a buff to ganking, did they not limit warp core stabilizers last year? This 100% makes sure you always tackle now. Mining got a buff, ganking got a buff.

Game change rumbles continue; we will have the Chinese Server test on Singularity. Numbers are not improving, revenue is not improving, and game changes will have to come. I don’t think it will really matter how much we do or don’t like it.

It is a game to us, it is a business to them. Two very different worlds.

But lets keep spilling our tears here, we have a pretty good community going of compliments and throat cutting.

I know, Jesse, that you are not one to go trawling back through posts (neither am I…), but I cannot recall a ganker writing that they ‘never get a buff to ganking’, let alone saying so repeatedly.

We know that ganking is unpopular with some players, and that CCP is trying to strike a balance between opposing sides. For that reason we hold on to hope that the activity will remain in balance with all the other activities in the game.

When any buff to barges/exhumers was deployed to TQ, my attitude was to let other gankers do the math (because LOL Math…), and I would make adjustments accordingly, and get on with it.

Perhaps our recollections differ.

He also clearly doesnt play if thats how he thinks stabs work these days.

Yes, Ramona, I passed over that.

In any case, even in the old days I never encountered a miner willing to sacrifice a low slot for a Stab. EVE Uni writes ‘when fitted, [they] greatly reduce a ship’s targeting range, scan resolution, and drone control abilities’.

Not a ‘must-have’ then, for a yield-hungry rock-raider…

Ganking took a huge nerf recently with the EHP buff for marauders/mining ships.

Its obvious you don’t play LOL.

Also the stab doesn’t 100 percent prevent the tackle ROFL.

Learn how to EVE kthx.

Yep, infact unless Im mistaken, no ship in danger if being ganked in HS requires one as the force brought to bear outweighs the benefits of such a system.

I suppose if we DO choose to count it, should we also not include the bubble nullifiers that a lot of ships can now use as a nerf to ganking?

I play every day, if you have two stabs and the ship being tackled can only have one stabilizer, how does the tackler not win 100%? Honest question here.

JJ

Given that every single Catalyst in a ganker fleet carries a warp disruptor…they are pretty cheap…a barge simply doesn’t have enough low slots ( and never did ) to stabilize the disruption from even half a dozen gankers. Plus there are cumulative penalties ( targeting range, etc ) for having a warp core stabiliser fitted even if it is not active.

I would never attach stabilisers to a barge. Its a waste of time…you are going to get warp disrupted anyway. Thus it makes more sense to add damage control and armour so as to outlive the attack.

If gankers are getting close enough that you need to activate warp core stabiliser ( and it does need activating, its not passive ) then you have already lost.

Does JJ ever make just one post?

Or is posting at least twice in a row part of the PsyOp Warfare playbook in front of him?

Why are people still responding to a guy that cannot count warp stab points?

Let’s discuss sincere changes to ganking. Increase Concord Response time tenfold across the board. That should be a reasonable starting point.
