Whoring on kills ≠ kills
Super creepy. Or maybe yennoe, she has a life and EVE is a vidya game? ROFL.
Sure you do buddy.
yada yada yada, more kills than you equals never killing anything ever, do you even use your brain before posting.
Can’t read past the ganker kills, lmao.
And a war deccer that cannot do war decs, rofl. 2014 was the last kill…
You guys are so bad.
90%+ of my kills are on targets that wouldn’t have died without me (scouting, providing dps, looting, FCing, etc.).
All your kills, however, would have died to concord sooner or later.
You are the definition of an F1 monkey, although F1 monkeys provide dps whilst you are not even needed.
Yeah, I am a F1 moneky, keep believing that. Another one of you tells me I have killed nothing and I have more kills them him. A war deccer calls me a coward for not war deccing him when he has not killed anything since 2014.
You guys are classic. Believe your own bullshite…
I am going off to bed with a huge smile on my face, thank you guys for being so bad at Eve.
Well not everyone can be as good as you, Dracvlad, Bane of Gankers, Router of Fleets.
You realize that trash-talking after someone makes a challenge to you makes you look like a pussy, right? I’m just saying, it’s not a good look. You can’t magically turn the situation around with some low-effort mind games. Pretty much everyone thinks you’re a coward now. Even the people who normally agree with you will read the interaction and silently judge you as such.
It doesn’t matter what my record is, Dracvlad. The challenge was made to you, not to me. Talking about my record, or my activities, doesn’t somehow nullify the challenge that was made.
If you boast about how you’re as good as an NBA star, and I offer you a hundred bucks to prove it by sinking a half-court shot, taking about how the last time I played basketball was in 2014 has absolutely no relevance to the matter at hand.
You are scared, Dracvlad. You are afraid, and everyone knows it. Because you understand that someone called you out on your ■■■■, and you can’t follow through. And now every time you talk about destroying some alliance or making a bunch of players quit the game because you wouldn’t stop camping them in or whatever, people will link this back to you and everyone will see it, and they’ll know.
In fact, I’ll even make a thread for it shortly so that people won’t have to dig very far.
Haha, yes, smile on your face! Absolutely! You sure got 'em, big daddy! We are all so bad, and you’re getting the last laugh at our expense, as always! Haha, HTFU and adapt, gankbears!
That’s what is known as projection.
Bro you literally don’t play LOL.
I never believe his stories LOL. Cause that’s all they are.
I wonder if he believes them himself?
I mean I seent him only undocked one time and it was station hugging in Uedama in a Leshak LOL.
People like that do, yes. They construct elaborate fake realities in their minds in order to cope with their conditions, or in some cases the lack of agency to be able to cope with their conditions. Someone like Dracvlad, who is a megalomaniac with a Napoleon complex, has to construct mental delusions of grandeur in order to be able to cope during situations in which there aren’t enough subjects and supplicants to feed their ego. They subconsciously convince themselves that they’re big, strong, skilled, powerful, and respected. As such, those people view their entire lives, past and present, through a lens of indubitable success.
Have you ever seen Dracvlad talk about a time or event when he wasn’t successful? I haven’t. Every time he reminisces about something, it’s always a story about some grand accomplishment.
Mm good observation.
Its always funny when peeps try to point out my deaths as a shameful. This is EVE.
Death is a friend who always finds you
I’m ashamed of my deaths. I have regrets.
I only wish I could have killed 1 more person before concord shows up to grief me.
Heh, I’m not. Each death is a lesson and fun!
Like when I almost killed a crow in me battle nereus before finally dying. I think he freaked with the amount of tank I had on it…
While in general I don’t like all these whining topics about ganking (looking at the other topics it was already well-explained, that there is a LOT that possible victims can do to successfully escape a gank - so no mercy for the dumb, lazy and greedy) - I agree that tethering in HighSec is a very bad game mechanic.
1st reason: Lore
The argument “works as intended” is invalid in my eyes, the whole Sec-Status & Timers system, including Concord and FactionPolice responses was invented when there was no tethering at all. Now we have the situation that there are -10sec characters in space, in ships (!), read to fire in a moment, while CONCORD and the FactionPolice being right next to them, doing nothing. Thats just insane and has no logic within at all. No empire would ever allow this to happen, it ridicules their security forces and basically allows wanted criminals to undock and pre-align in perfect safety. So it’s bad lore-wise and in my opinion simply overlooked by CCP and should be adressed.
2nd reason: player interaction
At the current state, the Gankers have an invaluable advantage from tethering. They shift from one status of invulnerability to the next with no chance for any Anti-Ganker to interfere. They go from docked (invulnerable at the station) to undocked (invulnerable while tethered) into alignment on their target (still invulnerable from therhering) to warp (invulnerable during warp), to the target location. So they are perfectly protected by the game mechanics and have literally zero disadvantages from the -10sec-status until they are directly on top of their target and start shooting.
Without tethering, there would be a lot more options to actually interact on different levels, which is good for the fun of both sides. Citadels they use for shelter could (like NPC-stations) be camped with fast-locking tacklers, forcing the gankers to use insta-undocks (same as they demand from possible gank-victims, right?), delaying their time from undocking to the target. These spots can be scanned out, pressured with long-range-tacke (Lachesis, Arazu, Keres) or cloaked tacklers (Bombers) so they have to have lots of different ones, changing their warp-distances and so on.
(Of course, a Citadel can be aligned so the exit points towards a gate, but that covers only one gate in the system and the undocking angle varies from time to time so there is still a window for tackle at least sometimes.)
Of course, CCP could also simply stick to their own rules: RemoteRepairinig (which tethering includes) on outlaws (-10) is a suspect offense, so any citadel tethering a -10 instantly gets a suspect timer and is free to be fired upon by everyone without war declaration. Wouldn’t that be fun?
tldr: ganking is fine, tethering is lulz -_-
In regards to your F1 comment, you are a multi-boxed ganker character when looking at you killboard. So by definition you are a highly efficient F1 monkey are you not?
I would love to suspect bait with a citadel. Let’s be honest though, anti-gankers would never shoot at any manned structure.
Well you are wrong on that. I happen to be on a kill of a CODE Fortizar and it was most definitely manned.
@Syzygium well said in terms of tethering, we have defined this as a major buff to ganking, but worse than that it cleared out a whole load of AG hunters because tethering ruined their game play.
No idea if they possibly would. Maybe, maybe not. But why not let the station owner take that risk if he wants to support outlaws? Maybe it’s not the Anti-Gankers but some bigger entity that just happens to have nice gang nearby, being bored and willing to “create content” by just reinforcing that said suspect citadel? Who knows?
On the other hand, Aiko did say it in another topic: The biggest downside of Anti-Ganking is that there is simpy no way to make money with it, so it is inheritly unattractive. Maybe there would be a much larger Anti-Ganking movement in the future so they can also field 50-man-gangs which are then absolutely able to attack suspect citadels?
Again, wouldn’t that be benefitial for all sides?
