You add one single update that doesn’t nerf capitals and super capitals and discourages those multiboxing such an insane amount of characters they are running software to repeat commands and you reverse it two days later. The first decent patch since 2009 Dominion release when everything went down hill.
Quit encouraging multiple accounts as the best way to play
Quit handing everything to small ship fleets
Quit the obvious pay to win eve has become - buy skills, sub more accounts, bot and pay for more subs with isk.
Encourage people to train into capitals (you know the ones that have been nerfed over and over for a decade) - the ones that cant easily move system to system now that we have this ESS Trash - The ones we can’t get decent fights because of Jump timers. Let people train them, fight them, and lose them.
STOP THE CRUISER MULTIBOX TRASH that this game has become, STOP the cloaky camping 50+ accounts this game has become - all paid for with botted isk and pay to win - end Omega with Isk.
Atleast make the ESS % at a region or constellation level - why should it matter what system we kill them in if they are still there?
You guys at CCP have really lost the plot and trying to drive players away from the game. Who is the mental genius that removed the ability of one ships drones from guarding another ship. This is a game play that miners have been using in belts for years. Why not remove all other career paths from the gave except PvP and PvE, because that is all CCP is interested in.
yes! I doubt if afkr’s and boters bothers to jump there. CCP should be focusing on the abyss features and increasing the loot drops. Also, creating abyss for BS and capital ships.
Lets create a system so people can steal ratters isk
Lets create a system that incentivizes people to rat completely alone in their own system.
Lets create a system that doesn’t limit the amount of people in the sites where they steal the money from the player we incentivized to play alone because it’s the only way to make decent money.
Surely that one player will undock with his one ship to fight the 10 man gang… Surely that one player will undock with his one ship to fight the 10 man gang… Surely that one player will undock with his one ship to fight the 10 man gang… Surely that one player will undock with his one ship to fight the 10 man gang…
Welp.
All accounts have been deactivated upon ESS launch. Fix null sec ore, remove the ESS garbage. Thanks, can’t wait to play the game again!
Honestly, how hard is it to put the code on Sisi first and then log into it and fiddle around with drones to see what breaks or not? What is Sisi even for?
Give popular drone boats. Carrier fighter mechanics. Make the ishtar and gurista ships line a long range support platform for a cheaper cost. Also an early way for PVE players to learn carrier mechanics for if and when they decide to PVP
I’m gonna glaaaaadly vote with my wallet on this one, with all my accounts. I really really had enough of this experiment. No one will conduct experiments on me, especially not in a computer game. I had the same playstyle for 17 years and it’s beeing nerfed with every single patch in last year and half or so. And it hurts to listen my corp mates saying that this game is becoming a nightmare for them.
I used to run multiple alts as Myrmidon bait and i have taken all the 1 v 10 fights i could reasonably take.
Ofcourse wouldn’t be verry smart to use a Battleship against 10 Cruisers while stuck in an anti MJD bubble.
And when im done for the day and log off there is still multiple hours where anyone can come and steal my payout.
Offensive side of ESS gameplay is just as bad - 5 minutes is easy enough time to get pinned down.
Or no response and i spend 5 minutes twiddling my thumbs for a hand full of ISK.
The smaller gang i bring the easyer locals can set up whatever flavour of gank they see fit, larger gang and the payout will hardly pay for a t1 cruiser.
ESS just incentivices everyone involved to make hunting more miserable for everyone involved.
I love solo and small gang PVP and Nullsec PVE bait is the perfect tool to create opportunities for just this kind of fight.
And thats the important point:
It is not game mechanics preventing good fights from happening.
I could choose to allways overkill and have an even greener Killboard.
I could choose to avoid PVP and make tons of ISK using expensive ratting ships.
Good fights were my priority so i came up with a setup promoting this goal - cheap bait, and enough of them to pay for themselves and my PVP ships.
Obviously Drone boats and that was more than enough micro management for my taste - keeping eyes on 5 alts simultanously.
In the end still a lot of effort keeping everything running. Having to plex 5 alts in Myrmidons didn’t leave much time for other activities and never a large amount of ISK in my wallet.
ESS and Bounty nerf announcement was the last straw for me.
Im not going to spend even more time to pump ISK into the PLEX market and having someone steal from my work hours after i log off is the dumbest “gameplay” i’ve ever heared of.
So instead my alts now live in a Wormhole, making twice the money in half the time, enjoying 10 times more safety then any Highsec Carebear while my Main gets to improve his snuggle rating on zKill.
“Adapt” they say and so i did. Why CCP doesn’t want me to repeat welping 200 Myrmidons for content creation next year is beyond my mental cappacity but it’s nice to have more time for different playstyles and enough ISK to fly more then navy cruisers.
