Well tnx for that guys, a Superior observer spawned and obliterated half our fleet on a 700m range. And we were farming lights->lvl1 Mesmers. This is not fun at all.... a beast appears and you can try to run but... no chance.

Wonderful... Thats what I was concerned about.  If this becomes standard, its going to pretty much finish PvE farming (especially solo).  Having a SO pop out and nuke an entire farming group is bad MoJo.

It didn't happen, they weren't paying attention while farming on a sup obs path...

fm DEV Zoom word in case of crashed:

"Reimbursed robots will appear at the terminal they were last at before they got destroyed, and will return with all equipment and cargo they had at the moment of destruction"

in my opiniom should be fair and normal to rembourse a bot AS IT WAS before crash, not as it remans after a death wich is not player's fault, due to a game crash.

futhermore we all know that crashes is ofter PO faults. i play other online game and it's very rarely they crash, while Perpetuum on almost daily.

just my idea, since we are customers and this is business for them.
respect the clients.

thanks for attention.

Niche is the way to go in a saturated market. There is absolutely no shortage of PvE grindfest MMOs. There is a shortage of good PvP MMOs. Would you rather AC risk competing directly with the established WoW and friends? Or would you rather they fill some gaps in an untapped market?

What's the issue, PVE is carebear content anyway, as long as your PVP stays difficult does it really even effect you?

Sorry for late reply.

/me takes deep breath

how does it effect me?.. or rather how does it effect pvpers?

.. well, by sounds of things your not an Eve player, in Eve PvP, or rather 'veterans' tend to hate Carebears because the Devs make changes to the game for keep carebears happy, these changes inevitably effects them,  dumbing down, making things easier... and just making the whole pvp thing shallow.  I'll not sight specifics.

But the biggest part of the big reason that Eve players are so damn angry right now, its because CCP are showing that they are spending almost ALL their resources and the resources to develop PvE content!   Whilst the state of PvP content is in DESPERATE need of attention!

Eve built its success off the back of pvp! and the dedication and loyalty of Eve veterans who have now basically had enough and sick to the core that CCP have for years ignored PvP features that are broken and bugged to pander to the crying, moaning population of carebears.

Faction warfare is a classic example of PvP content that was added... and left, they specifically said that they wernt working on it because of working on 'other projects'

Whats worse is that it all seems to be done to make money for other games!

Dont get me wrong, I like PvE too, anything thats challenging and interactive is great and PO does need a lot of work, its still a new game from an indy team afterall (much like eve was to begin with)  but the more you dumb down content and make it soloable, the more it becomes expected... its a slippery slope.

so far the pve changes are good.. because they encourage group activity and I give +1 internets to the Devs for recognizing that and hope that any pve work continues in that fashion.

And thats why it kinda hits a nerve when players are cropping up trying to make a fuss about dumbing down the game just because they dont have any friends or are socially inadequate.

Whilse NeX style does encourage independence, people still get together in small groups for mutual benefit.. and and sure that style will work for them and that its members still feel part of a whole and not part of a tax income

I run 5x T4 small lasers and a T4 small launcher on my Bapho with 2x T4 Laser tuners and the T3L I farm take 4-5 salvos to kill.  My lasers are currently 198% damage.  The T3A take even more salvo's to kill.

My point remains however.  Between the triangle nerf(which I personally stopped doing after my first month cause I couldn't stand how mind numbingly dull it was) and the plasma drop "adjustment" it will take newer players even longer to make any decent money and be able to afford decent equips.  Since going to pvp in T1 gear is almost guaranteed suicide all these changes do is lengthen how much time will be required by newer players to feel they can "afford" to go pvp.

oh god here we go again, more crying about not being able to solo.

Level 1 transport missions are able to be completed by combat player with just the combat bot. Apply 7k EP for sequar and combat pilot can do up to level 4 transport missions.

Indy player can not complete level 2 and above combat missions without putting as many EP into combat as a combat player would need.

All 4 of the active 'omg transport ruining game' threads all seem to miss that point.

Yes, you can make more NIC doing transport mission than combat mission, but no one is prohibited from doing so.

If you want 'Equal Balance' and the same payout for either type of mission, then you also have to figure out a way either for both combat and indy to do combat assignments or so that each can only do their assignments.

This is the same for all mission types, including mining, scanning ect.

Unless 'balanced' means combat characters get their choice of ALL assignments with equal compensation, while indy players are locked out of bounty/recover missions?

I would like some Ice Cream please... everyone else can have cake - for PIE al a mode.
