also started more than 7 months ago lol

I’m Ok with soulbound even though I would like to use them on Same account Alts. Bu the Selection has been a bunch of Skins for ships I don’t/wont/can’t fly. be nice to trade for a skin I could use .

@Balvenie_Fourteen

Agree with these sentiments completely. THIS! People have invested time and money into now broken fits (all LOKis for example … 20% reduction across the board etc). Stop nerfing! Buff other things in game instead to bring them up to par.

You take my time and isk; and then you nerf it so I have to invest more time and isk. Reminder this is a GAME and when you make it unenjoyable (you could have avoided this by BUFFING other SHIPS instead to BALANCE); people will find other GAMES = less subscriptions.

No.

Powercreep is a bad thing that should ALWAYS be avoided. Satisfying kids who don’t understand anything about balance, and only want buffs, is a perfect way to destroy your game.

@Balvenie_Fourteen

Last I checked this is a BUSINESS

Which is the reason why they have to understand that following ideas like that must NEVER be done.

I could make a longer and more argumented post about powercreep, but the fact is that I did it already, and you decided to ignore it and call me a “troll”, just like every cry-baby unable to actually participate in a debate.

Just as you can’t accept any frustration in the game, you can’t in a conversation.

Rage Rockets and HAMS got that buff for sure- tested that out my Vengeance has bite to it …

[Ramona_McCandless]

Bar the insta-activing SKINS and boosters, and the wierd continuing hatred for the Legion, its a pretty good patch tbh.

@CCP_Aurora

We know there’s a bit of confusion regarding this with the drugs activating on redeem and we’re looking into that.

Any out-of-the-ordinary, new game mechanics should be told to players via a dev blog in advance.

BTW, I have a number of items in the redeem queue that are waiting on a decision of when to redeem and with this feature MORE are being added.

I would like to dismiss the constant “nudge” of a bright red “7+” icon. But all we are permitted to do, is “disable blink.”

[Scorp_Majors]

All these nerfs must be really great for the game. The only problem is that they don’t seem to be so great for the players. It will be nice to have a great game once everything is done being nerfed, and if anyone is left playing by then, I am sure they/he/she will be thrilled with it. Even with daily login give-aways, the game is losing popularity as the fun of the game is getting nerfed out of it with every update.

[Scorp_Majors]

I’m sure you are right, however, the actual results from all the nerfs are showing that fewer people are playing now than were playing before the patch. How do you explain this?

Hey friend.

Tranquility Currently Under DDoS Attack

20200417 - 01:54 EVE Time Anyone who lost ships due to disconnections resulting from the DDoS attacks should submit a ticket at http://support.eveonline.com under the Game Play Support -> Reimbursement -> Lost Ships category and they will be investigated by our hard working Customer Support team. Please be patient with your requests during these times as a high volume of tickets are generated since a large number of players are usually affected. 20200417 - 01:28 EVE Time Service should now b…

The reduced number of players is not due to the nerf. There’s been a DDOS attack happening today, which is why you are seeing less people logged in. They’re unable to log in / remain connected.

Hope that helps.

@Renaissance_Man

And given the nerf to resistances, every active tanked ship must now utilize the booster / repairer more often, hence using more cap, and then of course run out of cap boosters even faster than before.

The discomfort is intended with the idea of encouraging players to:

1. Increase the ratio of logi players in existing fleets (both FAX and subcap, but mostly subcap).
2. Encourage solo players to operate in fleets for both PVE and PVP

What you just said makes the solid case post-patch.

[Pakokkie]

Can you contract all your stuff to me?

[Chunky_Pops]

PvP is all good becasue all are affected, but how do you plan to balance PvE you clown of a game designer?

[Chadwikk]

You for sure weren’t doing this math as you were arguing against it lmao…

I see you stopped running around with your 4% EHP loss nonsense and completely flip flopped on your wrong argument. I never heard back from you on that other thread to prove me wrong btw.

[Gah_khaz]

The booster giveaway is broken - can’t redeem without using the booster? And if you don’t have the skill you can’t redeem at all. rollseyes

[Holy_Arzi]

and we get a SINGLE RUN BPC,
what a JOKE of an event

ANOTHER HOME RUN FOR CCP

[Tintallei_Sharan]

By the DDoS attack?

Even if you might be right in the future, if such a diminution of population would be caused by the patch, it wouldn’t be visible so fast.

[Big_Country_Boy]

Loot crate result today, nothing hardly for SP, a 1 run copy of an executioner bp? Ok this is the first stuff i’ve built on this character, I melted some mission loot and selling a POS T1 frigate because i don’t want the bp crowding my inventory. Don’t even own a mining ship.

Surgical Strike Patch

There is Nothing Surgical about the Resistance Modules Nerf !

CCP could have used a Scalpel and changed only the ships that CCP believes to have too much Bonus, HP or Resist.
But CCP used a Hammer and is now just watching the discontent of those who were collateral damage of said objective.

I would prefer a small Sub-Capital fight to last longer and not to end quick.

I still think CCP should Rollback the Resist Modules Nerf and continue with a ship-to-ship balance !

Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by these quality posts.

@Chadwikk

your 4% EHP loss

That’s because the 4% EHP loss was in context of the current flavor of the month Muninns in a nullsec fleet fight, like I mentioned. But good on you for cherrypicking things out of context to suit your needs.
