Ratting changes - New Collidables, make ratting near impossible

The addition of all these rocks and structures to Drone Horde sites have made carrier ratting excessively difficult. Now, I can either blind warp in, and hope I don’t bounce off or get stuck in a rock, or warp in and try to place a safe bookmark to warp back to in my carrier.

A handful of times, i’ve warped INSIDE a rock and had to cyno myself out after asking someone else to clear the site. Because my fighters were also stuck inside the rock.

It kills any enjoyment, having to scout a site, possibly warp to and back, several times. Just to make sure I’m not getting stuck.

I’d heard carrier ratting was kind of on the way out (if not already dead)…?

replace carrier ratting with capitals for combat purposes in general, and you on the mark :slight_smile:

Of course, this is my oppinion, and you are more than welcome to your own :slight_smile:

@Arthur_Aihaken People complaining about carrier ratting are just upset it makes 3% less isk per hour than seven stombringers.

@Darquies_Shade That’s the goal! Just gimme the iskes :stuck_out_tongue:

To CCP: https://youtu.be/-XjEz-YL3OE This is the ■■■■ i have to deal with now. You didn’t even nerf the ship. You just nerfed the game.

Is it supposed to be entirely red?

Uhhhh… calibrate your monitor maybe? But, ships shouldn’t be warping into rocks… and getting stuck

its a buff to crabs actually. because now everybody will sit at range and thus become harder to catch by hunters. CCP has a long habit of buffing carebears though. Years ago they changed NPC aggro mechanics to disadvantage of hunters, they nerfed dictors by giving half the ships nullification… this change is yet another hidden nerf to pvp, if you’ll not be decloaked by some garbage inside the site, you’ll likely be way out of tackle range. This game is less fun by every patch they unleash upon us. In a foreseeble future laggy blob warfare will be the only way to score kills.

Huh. I’m not aware how getting stuck inside a rock, unable to warp away is a buff. Mind breaking that down?

Forgive the salt. I just tried ratting again and my alt is currently sitting inside a rock, completely logged out, while I hope the rats don’t kill it before the log off timer pops. I’ll post up another vid once it uploads.

This ■■■■ is beyond ridiculous.

Here. More proof of their BS.
