So that EVE news show thing happened. They were totally vague about it, but they said that power projection is getting nerfed severely before the end of the year, devblog with details to be released sometime around mid-October. (I would assume before or during Vegas.) We basically have zero information beyond that, but caps, supercaps, titan bridges and jump bridges were all mentioned.

CCP will probably prep us for ~player built stargates~ by nerfing every other method of movement so that the blocs all have to throw huge piles of isk at the problem and have a  reason to actually build them.

It was eventually overturned but only because DJ happened to be playing league of legends in gaming mumble and knew who KNar was.

DisgracelandUSA posted:I'd like to hear your thoughts. In particular boosting T1 to be somewhere around old meta 2 for the "main" stat of the mod (DPS for weapons, HP for shield or armor mods, etc) and then having the metas be the variants with improvements for the various "secondary" stat lines would make Tech1 mods more worth using. T1 mods in use would be helpful for industrial players -- especially newer players. Right now the uselessness of many T1 mods plus the fact that you can only get 50% of your minerals back has make them a huge trap for someone that wants to manufacture but doesn't know everything about the minutia. Then whatever varieties of meta that still exist are useful (even critical in the case of easy-fitting ones) but not critical. After that, some categories of deadspace & officer mods could really use a haircut to their top potential. In particular resist mods. Sure they're rare and expensive, but they get put on the most expensive ships in the game and are a big contributing factor to the out-of-control EHP & rep power of the ~apex force~. 64% resist mods are stupid.

I was hoping T1 would actually be useful. At the least, it would be nice to be able to manufacture Meta items.

OK, managed to run EVE on linux. Launching straight from wine on a separate desktop works, using my Windows installation. Had a problem with black textures but solved that by installing libtxc_dxtn (32-bit version specifically). Performance isn't amazing but I only really wanted to be able to do PI/industry stuff anyway (and my 'work' system isn't what you would call a normal linux)

That James315 article was quite interesting, even if he has no concept of brevity. I do find it sad (but not implausible) that Bob Starseeker got nuked for idling in a isk doubling channel. If that's all there was to it, I hope it gets overturned.

Nerfing power projection is a bad place to start off on the null changes. In the short term it means that it's going to be more inconvenient to get to the few objectives actually worth fighting for, especially if they nerf titan bridge range. They shouldn't touch that, they should encourage the ability to sling your subcaps out farther than your caps can go in one jump in to support them. Fast content at increased risk.

I think it's pretty neat to have this sort of back and forth with the developers - the sandbox has evolved into a Cold War and they're actively trying to fix it. I think they have it in them to make eve a better game. That said, I'm unsubbed so vOv.

Think of it as low hanging fruit, because it is. While it may not be ideal as a starting point it's something they can do with a relatively minimal programmer time investment, which is good because their programmers are all busy doing other things. Revisit the fanfest keynote speech, have a look at what's on the roadmap, think about what things are necessarily prerequisites for another thing, and it'll make sense.  e:

Sir_Substance posted:That's pretty much why this is a big deal. If James is telling the truth, and if "tears are bannable if they come from any other source[...]" is what actually happened. Funny thing about bans, though, is that CCP very rarely comments on them so y'know, claim whatever the gently caress you want, it's not like anyone can prove you wrong. That's pretty much why this should be treated skeptically. LemonDrizzle posted:Do you have a link to this thing? Though that'd be something I'd expect to fall under Scarpia (the new lead game designer), so  Still, having worked with him on CSM8 and now on CSM9, "Greyscale is touching anything" isn't actually an automatic source of trepidation anymore. mynnna fucked around with this message at 08:35 on Sep 26, 2014 |

Sir_Substance posted:That's pretty much why this is a big deal. It absolutely is. I mentioned before that Sociopaths:Online is in danger of going away and this is the kind of bullshit I was talking about. It's particularly funny how the same GM who banned everyone and assume that particular GM is overeager at enforcing the harrassment rules. I completely agree with everyone who called the Erotica1 banning a bad idea no matter how big of an rear end in a top hat the guy was, and CCP shouldn't enforce arbitrary rules about out-of-game behaviour. Also everyone who cried about how that was totally justified because of  mental torture can gently caress off both because the actual so-called abuse victim turned out to actually not give a gently caress and because voluntarily joining someone else's teamspeak is your own drat fault. There didn't use to be and there should not be anyone to bail you out in the world of internet spaceships.It is also inconsistent that actual threats on people's life and attempts to get them fired didn't warrant permabans according to CCP, unlike bonus room bullshit about in-game money which at the very worst aims for teamspeak rage and tearful shitposting. Speaking of which, everyone should join in posting on eveo about this. suck my woke dick fucked around with this message at 08:44 on Sep 26, 2014 |

Yup, no harm no foul, and it'd be the victim's fault anyways.  That aside, the Erotica1 ban did set a terrible precedent that only seems to be leading into even worse ones as gets more assertive over how it feels about player conduct.
