Having moved up to now (5) toons, I have a bit more of a grudging respect for the gankers who regularly control a group of 5+ ships without any input broadcasting (though I can’t see them consistently pulling ganks off without software like EVE-O Preview). Addendum: Pretty sure it’s freezing over somewhere as a result of this comment…
It is extremely tedious redoing my portrait everytime CCP decides to resize and arbitrarily crop the image. There is a reset button, and if you take multiple photos, you can click on them and I believe it will reset to that pose. It would be nice if they would add more ability to see how the portrait will actually look in your profile, as I can take a nice photo that is well framed, and then in my portrait it crops off half my face.
Yeah, I found the “reset” button - I was just hoping there was a master reset somewhere that would default your character pose to square one. How does one update your forum profile pic to match the in-game one?
Carefully and with eye for details.
Making this change felt like quite an accomplishment, it only shifted a few pixels to update the suit:
Log out/in - peachy! While not quite as impressive as yours, I at least got it centered (even if I wasn’t able to work that kink out of my neck!)
Ah, that’s what you meant. Whoops, I misinterpreted the question. ![]()
Yea, logging in to the forum is when the forum picture is updated.
It takes forever, my current portrait here is like 6 months old.
You can use the old portrait forever indeed, until you log in again.
Mike (Magic School Bus) got ganked today. Seriously? The loot drop was 321m ISK vs. 81 or so odd Catalysts.
I’d love to hear some of the usual gankster posters defend this attack on someone who does so much for the game and for new players in particular.
This is a PvP game.
They were bored, they “thought” it had more loot, they didn’t “realize” it was Mike (or know who Mike was), or the most likely reason: they’re Goons.
This probably isn’t the sword to fall on Aiko… The better question is: If you saw Mike’s Bowhead, would you have ganked it? And if the answer is “no”…
That’s a pretty lame-assed defense.
I don’t see the problem.
Why should Mike be exempt from normal gameplay?
I don’t even think Mike wants or expects that.
Why should anyone?
The point is that this is a guy who goes out of his way to help new players. You know, the ones you gank or someday recruit? Easter Island is what happens when you clear-cut the forest… You end up with no one - just a bunch of monuments to attest to their stupidity…
If I have to explain it to you you probably wouldn’t understand anyway. Keep overfishing until there are nothing but you and your fellow ganksters left in game.
I also go out of my way to help new players.
Should I be exempt from PvP as well?
You mean “helping” them into their pod? ![]()
I don’t think CSM candidates should be exempted from PvP.
They are free to campaign, other people are free to shoot them.
The developer obviously agrees with me.
