Klyith posted:So apparently there's a Drifter vs Amarr Navy battle going on, and it's all NPC on NPC fighting. As much as I don't care about eve lore, that's pretty cool. Also shows that work on their new "whiteboard" AI has gone well, if it's being used to direct two NPC fleets to attack each other. The chance of this being AI and not CCP actors is almost precisely zero. They ran similar events leading up to Incursions being released and they were a badly-designed shitshow from day 1. The people getting excited about this are a mixture of naive newbies and battered

Klyith posted:I don't know what to tell you, there were lots of ships which appear to be NPCs fighting. Even if CCP had a way for them to pilot a ship without the visible character inside, there are more of them than CCP has employees. They may well be manually controlling the whiteboard to move the ships around and make them fight, but that's still impressive. Yeah it's what they had with Sansha incursions; they'd spawn a mass of Sansha ships then move them about according to whatever was meant to be happening, then they'd engage and fight capsuleers but it was pretty obvious most of the control was actor-led. Expecting the end-product PVE to be engaging is .... optimistic. It'll be the same AI just with different triggers and players will min/max it in the first week all the same.

Unfunny Poster posted:Didn't Xenuria get outed as being unironically attracted to underage kids when he was running for CSM? No you see he was just trolling / collecting secret evidence for the FBI when he tried to get a 12 year old (boy) to undress on webcam. He gives off a massive enough creep-vibe that when he attended fanfest he largely made people leave / ask him to leave / threaten security when he was around them. People who speak for him tend to handwave this all away as autism, but you can be autistic and not be a hyper creep. Much like you don't excuse the "I was just drunk" guy who is consistently violent when drunk, there's enough in his behaviour to make you want to stay away.

One clear benefit of Fozziesov is that the enemy has a lot less time to impart upon you how much they didn't want their space anyway, and how bad we are for not winning fast enough. Never seen the threads overlap on r/eve before.

CCP won't give you a number, but I can tell you for free anything over 100 and they are more likely than not to deem it in violation. This amount absolutely causes client lag so I don't know why you don't see the issue.

So I'm just re-starting playing eve again after actually having a life for a while, and the most confusing thing thats happened is the Eve news sites. What the poo poo happened? EN24's articles are legitimately better. http://evenews24.com/2015/09/06/nulli-secunda-lose-2-titans-in-aridia-to-pandemic-legion/ (actually explains what happens) vs https://www.themittani.com/news/two-titans-down-aridia (is pointless and more information is available literally anywhere else) The TMC article is completely useless on every level. The site is also frightfully useless and doesn't do anything you might expect. e.g. one might expect clicking the author's name to take you to an author page where you can see other articles written by them (it used to do this?) but no, its just a whole page to show the bio that was already on the previous page. Who signed off on an article which includes the words "Reddit user Survilus reported having a feeling" as explanation?

Xolve posted:Mad Ani's stream looked like a geocities revival, with uncredited music being played 23/7- the only time his stream was semi-bearable was when he wasn't home/sleeping/etc. Otherwise it was a non-stop cringe horrorshow of awkward skype calls, fanboys, and other random clop-crap. The real hilarious thing about Mad Ani, was that he spent so much time blocking anyone in his stream chat that said a bad word against him, that he seemed to genuinely not know he was widely disliked. He then makes this thread on Eve-O asking for a job from CCP and it became one of the better threads in the history of Eve-O. Falcon banned me twice for making mockups of his stream overlay.

YouTuber posted:PL doesn't have a capswarm style group where people tell you that you're not allowed to fly. There is a subforum and irc channel that give out pos locations and fitting standards but if you just tag along on cyno in your shitfit there is nothing people will do beyond mock you hardcore. PL expects it's players to sort their own poo poo out, very few things are centrally planned beyond staging points and staging pos. No one is telling anyone what they can and cannot use, there is simply a base requirement for strat use / SRP. This is just about the most forced complaint I've seen about how we organise anything, used to defend a super that can't use it's weapon system? Weird.

mikey posted:I like the concept of the Cyclone, but it definitely still blows overall. All it's really getting is 10% more MWD speed (9% base), a minute amount of agility, and a range bonus it basically can't even use because it can't apply meaningful damage without a scram and a web (limiting it to a two-slot tank). The only reason anyone even uses the Cyclone at all is because bonused XLASBs are absurdly good in small engagements and it has enough CPU to fit one fairly comfortably. You're not wrong, but you are forgetting it can select it's damage type, meaning the difference in actual applied damage vs the drake can be much smaller in many cases. You're also ignoring in your number crunching an XLASB fit will tank ~1000dps until it exhausts its charges, which can situationally be rather amazing. As a bit of a hail-mary the HAM fit also fits a medium neut and small NOS(why would you fit ACs?). If you want to be a dick it's a cheap way of doing it, and no one expects anything useful to happen. It's actually an awesome brawler within a small scope, similar in use to a Myrm. Syndic Thrass posted:Have you read this blog post?

). Even if you fill the Cyclone's two extra highs with 220mm ACs, you're barely breaking 600 paper dps, and the application is worse than all but the Drake's.

ullerrm posted:Also, it's utterly unpredictable. For ex: Eve has a slightly dirty reputation for having a sturdy population of neo-Nazis. You can put loving 1488 in your player name, and CCP won't blink an eye (and might even give you a warning for harassing the guy in local over his white supremacist references)... Actually they didn't care that he ran and they let him run the previous year despite being fully aware of his views. They only put a stop to it because a core few posters (basically the GSF Eve-O few) whipped up as much noise as possible until CCP took a soul searching few days to decide it wasn't kosher. Up till that point, they were still probating people in the thread and silencing people pointing it out, even going as far as to sanitise his post history of his racial purity rants without probating Fon himself. Then there was one guy who was so literally grrGONS that he was supporting the neo-Nazi views on principle just because we were arguing against them.

Klyith posted:The real story is that CCP thinks streaming and the AT can push interest in Eve for people outside the game. So they're gonna try to make the AT into something that's not really Eve anymore, a part of the game that's fair competition and free of metagaming. Which I think is pretty dumb because the AT is un-ficking-watchable to someone who isn't already into the game. It's really inside baseball. mudstone posted:i'm back in widot... someone please loving help me. also i watched AT and half the time donno what's going on... CCP expecting outsiders to watch it. That frankly blows my mind and they can't be that stupid... can they? It has zero hallmarks of a good eSport, principally that it is impossible to tell what is going on by watching the action on screen. e: The other criminal problem with that as a marketing concept is that the experience on-screen can in no-way be replicated ingame, whereas with every Moba / SC clone you can actually do what you see on screen on an amateur level.

DarkMalfunction posted:source your quotes It's a lovely chain using an oft-repeated theme to somehow justify huge markups on food largely carted in and 'cooked' by chefs that couldn't find work elsewhere. Recommending them for burgers is especially bad, because even in the arena of "one in every town" there's actually edible stuff like GBK / 5 Guys that's not hard to find. F&B is mildly impressive if you're like a first year student up to the point you get the bill then don't eat the rest of the month. As an exercise try to find an F&B that breaks 3 stars on Yelp.

causticBeet posted:The worst part about all the impotent rage on Reddit is that it won't even amass to anything cool. Like how crazy and perfect for this game would it be if the lesser half of space united to try to purge goons over a failed Kickstarter and ~*the mittanis media empire*~? I don't disagree, but this is what you would want to do because you're playing the empire game. The eponymous they don't want to play sov wars, they want to largely do whatever it is they're doing. With fozziesov, there's even less reason for them to come and try to "take us down" than ever before. Nullsec has no conflict drivers for anyone not buying a ~~narrative~~ which is why you see so much over-wrought language on both sides. The wailing monkeys are largely highsec nobodies who think someone should be sticking it to the Goons in 0.0 because miniluv is a thing and they can't organise to stop it. I don't see all this "howling" and "screaming" and "primal screams" in anything posted on Reddit and it's honestly the same tier of jeering of the other side as you see ITT.

FruitNYogurtParfait posted:Yo have you seen marlona sky cause I mean there's one example of insane person screaming at max volume forever Yeah there's some pretty unbalanced people, mostly on FHC, but if you filter out a couple of loud wailers the general consensus is more just "lol" and not whatever it is some people seem to think they're doing. The timer juke was legitimately funny, and you can't really saying they're over-egging it given there's a (frankly doomed) book in plans which will no-doubt make a large point out of sov-game fuckery that held us on in Fountain. If the Imperium ~narrative~ is, as it seems to be, some form of "they're all hating us and plotting and what not" then just urgh. Because the general tone I get from the rest of the game is more akin to "post fozziesov we may as well just leave them in their ivory tower". The viceroys plan is so devious because, assuming it works, it directly counters that mode of operation.

Citizen Rat posted:I didn't write the piece, so I don't know what the selection criteria was or how far the searching went. And no, the comment that you cited was just insulting. Sorry. "Harsh criticisms" aren't criticisms. They are not offered in good faith or with intention of critique. They are just insults hiding under the disguise of "just being honest~~." This is my comment. I feel like there needs to be quite a lot of inherent bias to make a leap from reading what I wrote, to "mean-spirited hate". The sample was really bad. Properly, full on cringe-inducing bad, and made me avoid backing the KS like I was intending, which is why I wrote what I wrote. You have to, on your own assumption, then extrapolate "mean" and "hate" towards the author from that, because I said nothing of the kind. I (when first hearing about the book) amazon-excerpted some of Jeff's other work and it all seems well written, so god knows why the samples are so bad. I assumed they were rushed, or incomplete, or something, ergo asking for more (better) samples. Has Sion used the internet since 1998? Does he not get that for any single thing, you can find any number of people that hate it? Assuming any criticism of the book is just "grr goons" is just one of the critical errors Sion's article makes.

Mr. McGibblets posted:Just out of curiosity what would you need for the big rear end fights just as a reference point? Nothing/anything. There's simply too many objects for anything to do this. It's more a scale of "how far do I need to zoom out for a workable experience" which is always pretty far, but less so on a more modern card. You'll be fine for anything; it's more "is your card made in the last 5 years" than "is it top tier".
