The Grand Heist - Now Live!

Same goes for you. Do you really think anyone would read that drivel, that verbal diarea, that you spam in pretty much every thread?

QED.

I can’t tell you not to be frustrated. But labelling 18 years of maintaining technical excellence as incompetence rings false.

Good point about the survey though. Even if they did issue regular surveys I would rather they did not publish the anonymised results.
In fact I would rather they ditch the monthly economic reports altogether than have folk clamour for changes that include world building updates.
The more they give the more will be asked of them, so end it cleanly.

You just did.
BTW who’s alt are you?
I ask because a character a little over 2 weeks old…

the correct childish response is:
“I’m a rubber ball, you’re just glue. What bounces off me, sticks to you.”

The first half of the first sentence, beyond that no one apart from like minded fools or people who have some clinical need to read and react to every post is going to read it.

I see you’re actively avoiding what I type and asked you, how typical.

No-one can fault the IT guys who keep things ticking over.
The problem lies with the short sighted development strategies. Even now it seems those in charge just don’t understand how and why people play Eve.

The “Grand” Heist ?

Thank you for the 235M, ccp, a drop on a hotplate but appreciated nevertheless. Show those alphas what they’re missing eh ?
Could this be the first sign that Scarcity is drawing to a conclusion and it’s okay to simply inject a few trillion into the game for the August MER, because activity is low anyway (aka scarcity of players) ? Bittersweet.

The bigger worry is the design around the Heist itself. It’s … erm not good ? Limits to three ships, no combat log data on damage (qa…), easy to block completely near the entrance, and too many bloody mines (this is not a flight simulator, lol). Yes, it’s fun to have to travel across the map to use the key. Fun fun fun. But in a blue donut environment, what’s the significance ? With three ships, that’s going to be the big pvp action we all hoped for, isn’t it. Ah well. At least you try to get more people to lowsec with every new element. How is that working out ?

And could you please fix the audio and video bugs pretty please ?

Can’t wait to see the game closed. CCP is full of ■■■■- money maker.

Only the CSM can gauge that to be true or not and they need to keep that judgement to themselves.

If CCP can survive this upcoming winter we my get to see what they are about.

Well the longer I think about, the better design would have been a simple data site with a rare chance of a key drop. These new sites are probably beyond repair. It’s micro-designed (no sandbox), it’s super hard, group PvE centric, with measures to prevent PvP, with consequences you can’t repair. An insult to every lowsec pilot.

I’m wondering what demographic was the target audience for that? The only match I can find is the sov null krab, who love their risk free PvE. Ah I fogot, all those Abyss runners in their precious instances.

to put it less politely, it’s a convoluted mess that is unworthy of eve online. Overdesigned and underperforming.

exactly. This design is wrong on too many levels to create anything resembling a stir. Yes. I’m very negative about the Heist, about as negative as I was positive about the Emerging Conduits of happier days .

That’s hilarious, someone flagged my post above as they didn’t detect the sarcasm. They actually thought I was serious. Love it, whatever next.

In case anyone is interested, I put my thoughts about the stimulisk in a blog post.

Ashterothi has clued me into the possibility that this payout is part of a reasoned long term plan and quite possibly not a knee-jerk-response to eve-winge-all-ism.
If that is indeed the case I would wish to withdraw my initial response.
It remains on the record, as does this, to bear the criticism it deserves.
In role-playing-games the plot triumphs all.
I await to see the story unfold with interest while saluting the guiding hands bravery.

The ESS progress circle above the structure for the main bank.
Blinks too rapidly near the end of the breach.

Really? You don’t think players who have watched CCP screw up year after year can guage CCP’s development strategies?

2015, Fozziesov, Rorqual changes, Structures, etc. Eve forums and other social media were ripe with warnings to CCP about how it would end (even some CSM said it would end badly).

2019, CCP begins to backpedal on 2015 changes to try and correct mistakes.
2021 and they still aren’t listening to those who actually play the game.

Funny, that is exactly what many said back in 2015 and are Still waiting.

Fozzie Sov is so so fun if you’re not in a blue donut mega fleet. Working to maintain control of a constellation and track and run the nodes under pressure is a blast for smaller groups.

NO, it really isn’t.
No matter whether you’re in a mega alliance or one of ><1,000, Sov Wands are up there among the worst things CCP has come up with in recent history.

Ha, I didn’t realize who I was replying to…

You just regurgitate the same 10 complaints and don’t even play… Zero credibility.

I don’t play? Seriously now who’s regurgitating…
How would you know I don’t play?
Do you even know me? Oh wait, you don’t. All you see is a forum alt and “presume”.

You don’t even have an opinion, yet you try to criticize those who do. Your game play is fine, there is always 1 month old chars for you to kill in lowsec, so no-one else in the game is allowed to complain about CCP’s poor design.

And you dare to talk about credibility, Pffff
