NO

really comprehensive answer as always ...

Whether in 2000 words 5000 words or 1 word....you got the point just the same.


Not really, most of your answers dont say why you have your particular opinion, dont really give any sort of direction at all and dont even contribute to the topic.

Why post at all?

I love a good conspiracy theory in the morning.

I'm not interested in conspiracy theory... Conspiracy fact on the other hand... ^^ Have you looked at some of the recent history (last three to five years) of banking and other such activities in Iceland?...


So you're saying CCP and multiple EvE clients caused the ash volcanoes to erupt?

"Conspiracy FACTs!!!!!" Lol

Sold the Tyrannos  Mk2 75% CT smile

Actually I think everything is sold, cant find any of them among my private storages, lol

If only the Devs made a beta island with no production facilities and faulty teleports that could handle only Assualt or smaller chassis ..... Guaranteed roams with small bots. I am sure I read something of this idea somewhere so I am not taking credit for it.

Pfft! I didn't see Lupus at that cave-wrecker party I was at in Mesopotamia.

Hmm what am I doing wrong?

I wander the map, try different spawns then I settle on one I like

Farm
Profit .....

And enjoy when some of the spawns change.
All without looking at a spawn map.

I can see how the spawns being changed makes it difficult to map as relates to FOOM's excellent guide, but not how it would drive a player away. Not really something to complain about. If your favorite spawn gets changed, there are plenty of other ones you can still farm within your capabilities, and may only take an hour of gametime to find. Not a big deal.

I'm glad the Devs are tweaking the game constantly, trying to improve it.

Wraith, you were in an Arby then, farming Ped?

Should be no problem with proper kiting.
Also try your top slots Weap tuner, Sensor suppressor, Sensor amp.
T4 if possible of course.
I'm still a 2 month noob but that sen sup makes a huge difference.

I'm generally driving an Arby Mk2 now with an extra Weap tune on top but I may try out the same spawn and see, even with a regular Arby.

re-imbursment is more about how they feel on the day than it is policy.  I've lost bots from crashes and never got reimbursed, where others get them without question.



hope they don't treat their clients in this way, EVE docet.....


Umm EvE doesn't? please try this in EvE and tell me you get something more than a "the logs show nothing"

And maybe you are crashing because, oh I don't know, maybe running 4 accounts at once?

I run 2 accounts on a 3 yr old laptop ... and may crash once every 3-4 days.

Can't really comment on the game politics between the different corporations, nor on Wiki guidelines, but I will say as a almost 3 month player the Foom wiki has been invaluable, as their recruitment channel, where I got a ton of help without actually being ..  Recruited. I'm all for any literature on the game, so this effort is great imo, just thought I would share my Foom experience. I don't know if there is a better resource for new players.

This game needs the builders and the miners and the farmers equally as much as it needs the soldiers and the destroyers and the killers. And these groups need each other. Someones gotta collect the materials to make the bots and someones gotta destroy the bots so more need to be made.

You all do understand this, right? Minor balancing and tweaking aside, you can't buff Beta by nerfing Alpha.

And comments like Alphas needing more risk because Betas got it much harsher and has more risk ..... Lol no one forced you to go to Beta ....

And I'm a carebear who thinks ninja farming or mining or ratting on Beta is worth the risk of getting killed. Beta simply needs a mechanics to let the corps hold land and grow and stay there 24-7.

Dev Alf, I understand the W.I.F.E. Npc mentioned in the patch notes is considered an Elite Spawn ..... Confirm?

Noob Carebear here. Some good points on both sides. Alpha should not grow much more, or at least slower than the game population growth, Beta should get more incentives to go there, roam there, maybe die there. The chance of escaping a gank in null sec EvE can be replicated here with a slightly faster emergency teleport beacon .... Enemy interrupts your ninja mining party? Pop a 20 second teleport beacon and off you get to a exit port. Not in game atm but I feel the time should still leave some time to escape, but not eliminate risk. And the difference between the tele recharge and invulnerability timers could be slightly increased to maybe 8 seconds from the current 5 ish to allow a better chance of death when encountering smart locals. I may be a Carebear, but I don't want it easy, some of the greatest times I had was narrowly escaping death in Null. And sometimes I didn't but the carrot offered was enough for me to go back despite the risks.

If POS come into the game it will be a dramatic improvement to Beta and give corps their own areas of land to claim, and defend, and base from.

Alpha should not lose the ability to do certain things (like mk2 bot production) but those activities should be and are better to do on Betas. (III Factories) The game needs even less risk-averse Carebears than me just as much as it needs PvPers.

My 2 nics.

There is more than enough challenging PvE stuff for this solo player right now, and the Beta island sightseeing tours are on my to do list.
I only played EvE for almost 2 years and I understand the value of patience with the sandbox MMO.  Liking PO so far, cya on Nia.

You're playing Perp for 2 months now and you've never been on a beta island in a cheap Arkhe to have a look around? I see where you get the impression that one has much to do in PvE ... tell that the thousand of players that aren't around anymore.


You are sort of missing the point. The game is what you make of it. You can rush and be in a mech w t4 guns quite quickly but not have the core skills to pilot it decently. And things like Artifact scanning, trying harder NPC spawns until you find your limit, or even manufacturing a robot using mining, refining, harvesting skills, and running Assignments ..... All are PvE and all can consume a lot of playtime. I'll do PvP really soon, my playstyle is that I prefer to be a bit skilled first and have a decent income. That's me. I just don't think "drive a mech in 2 months" is the benchmark this game should be measured by.

Patience. If PO reaches a tipping point and takes off, great. If it dies, so be it. I like it and it seems the devs have the right approach. Time will tell.

Umm a few comments I guess.

@Strongbad ... some thinking may be required to play this game.

@Snowman ... you dont have to gtfo if you dont play in a group, thanks for your opinion.

I play solo. I can kill spawns and get fat loots. Nothing was given to me, I have learned by asking questions and getting my bots blown up and adjusting tactics and fits.

PvE is fine and enjoyable and profitable. Just my opinion of course. Perp (and EvE) provide the sandbox to play in and the areas to earn resources. They can set conditions for PvP but ultimately its the players themselves and how they react to each other that makes or breaks the entertainment. Its a simple nessecity that an MMO needs both (areas and playstyles) in order to survive.

And when I learn PvP it will be the same way, by having bots blown up and adjusting tactics.
