I read the title of the latest EN24 article and thought to myself, "With a title that stupid, I'll bet it's another dumb idea from Seraph." Why am I right about such thing?

Just think about all the great emergent content that having a hundred "Escort the Freighter" ops a week will generate. Or something.

I think this is very much the case. EVEs success is not a product of CCPs brilliant planning and game mechanics. They basically stumbled onto the correct formula to create a sandbox MMO, and the players have been generating content for them ever since. No one is drawn to EVE for the faction warfare or great mission design, they are drawn in when they read an article about giant alliances blowing up thousands of dollars worth of fake space ships. All CCP has to do is keep the servers running, and patch any obvious imbalances and the players will continue making content (and money) for them.

Don't a stupid number of players never leave high sec and mine and mission there for years?

I wouldn't be shocked to learn that random dudes who pay $15/month to run missions or mine a few times a week are what really keep Eve afloat.

Fun fact: Pearl Abyss paid more money for CCP games than Tencent paid for Riot loving Games :chanpop:

Tencent already owned a ton of riot, the 500M buyout was for the remaining portion.

is tencent the reason riot started releasing chromas and super-expensive skins a few years ago instead of ya know new champions?
I think half the existing champions being useless and needing a rework had more to do with that.

"uncounterable" is Elite-PVP-ese for "can't be killed by 5 interceptors"

as usual it falls to us, lords of eve online: a space-themed spreadsheet, to assume the mantle of Space Wildlife Fund for atto-gang PVP players

Its like kill board obsessed gankers are terminally afraid of having to commit to a fight.

Maybe if they poo poo post hard enough fozzy will make the angel Titans nano Titans.

combat interceptors no longer nullified (tackle ones still are) and ECM changed from no targeting to being able to target the ship that is jamming you (so basically a "taunt")

rip in rancid piss claw fleets

I like the changes.

Claw fleet was dumb as gently caress.

Did Atlantis have cryptocurrency do you think? Maybe they did block chains with crystals or something.

Block chain is the digital representation of the original crystals that powered atlantian devices that kept the lizard people asleep.

Yes, but have you considered THAT THE GSM IS LITERALLY KILLING EVE???!?!?!!



I love all the folks who have never heard of logistics talking about how null sec blocks are going to be using nu-Jump Bridges to move super fleets around all the time when at the current m3/capital ship it would take a couple of freighters per jump to move the fleet.

Reddit really is going all in on the idea that not being able to solo a multi-billion isk capital ship with a multi-million isk nano frigate is a "problem" that needs to be solved.

just give them fuckyou dps

that's all you need, cheap ganking ships

They already have stealth bombers and attack BCs that do this.

The "problem" appears to be that nano gang idiots refuse to fly them because they pop easily and they don't want their shiny kill board getting messed up.


Judging by the stream of dead carriers and supers on zkillboard they die pretty often, just not to the same setups people use to gank VNIs.

I'm not aware of any game that mutlithreads it's core simulation.

Managing multiple threads in real time and having sub second consistency is difficult. Like Big 5 tech R&D project difficult.

Most multithreading in games is what CCP is doing now, off loading things that don't need immediate concurrency to a different thread or process.

Was the catalyst for finally doing something about it from the CSM, or does anyone think that CCP was already in the process of doing anything regarding wardecs? If I remember correctly, the CSM specifically said that based on the data that CCP showed, it should have been immediately ditched full stop without a ready replacement.

The CSM bitched about it for years.

CCP blew them off until, at the CSM's request they pulled the numbers.

Then they instantly agreed that something must be done, quickly.

What’s with the latest flare up of bad noise about CSM? Did someone get kicked? It seems odd that these bursts of anti-CSM (because goons of course) just happen with no obvious trigger.

When you can't win a fight in Eve you redeploy to Reddit and spam cap booster 3200s in your hangers.

Don’t researches BPOs do that too? Could you not research tech 2 BPOs?

The TL;DR is that t2 bpos are ever so slightly more efficient than invention, but super low volume.

With invention you can poo poo out a hundred times the volume for drat near no cost compared to the market value of a t2 bpo.

So the "correct" thing to do is selling the t2 bpo and use the isk for more characters/accounts for more throughput.
