I tried posting this in the game play center but the option to post for me was grayed-out for some reason.
I ran a few chaotic abyssal sites on the test server and noticed that I didn’t appear to have a suspect flag. I know CCP suspended that “feature” for the abyssal event recently but is this still the case?
Last I heard in patch notes, raging and chaotic filaments will earn a suspect flag for the offending capsuleer. Has this changed permanently?
They said they were disabling it for the “next couple of months” on August 7th. Whether that is true or not and the change will be permanent is still hard to say, and may depend on the outcome of their testing.
But for now, we are still in the their “testing” window so I would say it is unclear what will happen in the future. As of today though, the suspect flag is still disabled.
If i remember correctly when Abysmal space was introduced it was CONCORD who invited pilots to explore it.
So yeah, giving suspect status for visiting it have never made any sense lore-wise.
i dont want less pvp in high but i want systems that make sense
abyss is completely solo non interactive and against the design philosphy of the game
making it give pvp flag makes it a bit more interactive but its in the wrong way
abyss sites shouldnt be instanced solo content and shouldnt trigger suspect flags
maybe make a new type of content that triggers suspect flags
like empire incursions which are normal incursion except you play the pirates and invade high sec
then your group gets a suspect flag and everyone can kill you
maybe it becomes something like null fleets fighting with a side objective of killing empire ships
so basically its groups of players fighting over the reward
because the reward comes from killing empire ships
in fact that could lead to the creation of a whole new playstyle of players vs empires
There is no sense about any form of pvp in high neither flagged or not…
Any form of unwanted pvp has to happen in special areas(here: low and 0.0) like in any other game on the market.
These changes will begin the moment the new owner of CCP will be fully in charge(does not happen overnight) and there is nothing CCP or the conservative dogmatic “Eve is a PVP game” staters can do about…eve WILL be transformed into mainstream material…
You’re either right or wrong about this. Either way, it’s irrelevant until some kind of change is forced down onto CCP. So far none have been. So it’s a pointless statement.
Cool story. As of yet, PA has exerted no creative influence on Eve. Which means that no matter what PA is, it doesn’t affect Eve. Yes that’s subject to change, but what happens later doesn’t affect right now.
You seem to be fond of using your anticipated future as justification for the asinine REEing you seem to spew with every post. What happens in the future affects the future. It is not going to violate temporality and magically become retroactive on the past.
Do yourself a favour. Stop chewing on your tinfoil hat. The pieces are clearly making their way into your “brain” (or whatever approximation you have in place of one) and causing stupidity.
i think you forget that without ccp in charge the game is a dead duck
what you imagine is a carebear paradise
this old python game is too old to attract that market
it can only attract the market that already has an interest
that market wont be found outside of its own playerbase
we know that
ccp knows that
why pearl abyss is interested we can only imagine
worst case scenario is they want the tranq hardware
