Anyone owning a station can either be there or not to increase the stability. If they aren't there then they aren't supposed to hold the station either.

It only affects easy-moders who want to own as much as possible with as little effort as possible while fishing in ArcheAge.

I don't think you guys understand the ramifications of this change.  If you think for 1 second that pissing off the major power block with change the fact that you won't be able to move as quickily around Betas to ninja SAPs as you do then your dead wrong.  This change will force you to face the main fleet 100% of the time.  Just remember you asked for this.

This would also cause a change for the extension or removal of it and EP refund, right?

If you're all for this particular change then of course.

I would put it to some type of survey / poll.

You can use Google docs/forms they do very well for this sort of thing.

I normally talk the smack in game. But Celebro, do not take this the wrong way. Currently CIR and its alliance do not have enough sparks nor energy to keep Gamma away from other players in game. The reality is they can control up to maybe 3 gamma islands with concentrated effort. But the rest are open. I think one of the big issues is corps are trying to go where CIR and company are at(Listening to the CIR threats and propaganda). If you want your own piece of Gamma heaven. Try a isle 3-4 isles away from the CIR concentration.

It would take a immense effort by CIR and the buddies they have to go after another corp on gamma 3-4 isles away(Make it painful and a significant time loss). In fact last night I mined epi much of the time. The reality even if they have 3-4 accounts each. They do not have enough manpower to maintain or hold Gamma Isles long. In fact they have a hard enough time with just the couple they have now.

A note to add: Ignore the threats, and powerplay.  Part of the propaganda to keep other corps in place.

Currently you can only place three bases on an island and then it is 'capped out'. All gamma islands now have three bases under CIR & 77's control and according to them this was done in the first hour of gamma going active.

What does this mean?

It means to have a place on gamma you now need to destroy at least one gamma base.

Now currently most of these bases are undefended t1 bases. That means you have to attack an undefended base and kill half its hitpoints. Once you have done this the base has three reinforce cycles meaning you have to attack it again three more times to kill it. A reinforce cycle means the base becomes vulnerable in three days for one hour at a timezone set by the defender.

So your enemy has four occasions to respond to your attack over a period of nine days three of which are in their timezone.

This is before the enemy puts up base defenses - if they bothered to add weaponry to these bases (and some are already weaponised) your facing at least two of those assaults under base guns.

Dont forget that all of these bases can have sparks in them. They don't have to defend the intial assault they just go there in the three days inbetween, set a spark and leave a combat heavy or three.

tl,dr you don't know what your talking about

People ask for dev blogs but when there is finally one it seems they don't read it.

Your question is answered in the "What comes next" part of the most recent blog post.

It's because Gamma doesn't interest the majority.

Can you stop trolling the Bug forums?

A bug would mean that there is something wrong with a program that causes the end user's to not allow a function to run properly. A function changes due to new parameters or dynamics to said program regardless if it is advantageous or disadvantageous to the user. Does not mean it is a BUG!

Your entire post Ville is nothing more than complaining over a parameter that takes away a advantage that you had in gameplay. That again does not mean it is a bug. It just means your gameplay must change.

As to lag? There is none. In fact the performance has improved quite a bit since the patch. Besides lag is often associated with Pre-DSL/Broadband. Lag existed within the modem era.

As to trolling. Telling the obvious truth about a situation is not trolling. But making "false" claims in a original post could be considered trolling.

I personally prefer to "flame" and not troll. Which is what I did considering your misunderstanding of what a bug is. So I am glad I helped clarify your current situation within the game. While the new gameplay is disadvantageous to what it was pre patch for you. Does not mean a developer needs to revert or change back a patch because of it. Especially when many players outside of yourself really like the changes.
