The problem with dropping a terminal up someones *** is it has a few days of invulnerability.

So, the standard for an island is to drop 12 stations quick to stop it.

You already have one dumb rule there, so there should be some 'influence' radius limitation to stop *** from dropping station right there.



Artificial rule #1          12 Stations per island max
Artificial rule #2          3 days invulnerable station timer


Zoom - the above would have to be addressed to make your concerns more valid

The reality of the killboard situation -


People have been asking Mitix for a year + to turn off the comments on the killboard.  I personally think they take away from the game, but you dont have to read them.  I have asked Mitix several times to turn it off and I am ignored as were many.

The bad news.  Pointing out the obvious here, Mitix will lose about 75% or more of his traffic now because people are not rage F5ing the killboard to read the next lolcommentz.  I would estimate, unless he is hosting at home, that he will not get the money to keep it going.  Who knows, that is just speculation.

The pre-bandwagon STC member who hosted the old one isnt doing it any more, I guess.  That was a pretty good and simple board.




Lets have a comprehensive look at the subject of killboard comments "ruining the game".

EVE Online killboards have been filled with trolling gargabe sine the dawn of time, EVE survives..


Diverting a little here, there are thousand of trollVilles in EVE forums, they are lining up one after another and each one is 10x worse than Ville could even imagine he could be;     EVE still survives.


so lets stop the BS about the KB turning away people, its not true mostly.




Ok, if I were to make a decision, I would say the comments are better left off.


There should be a no holds barred place for people to rage all day long though like Scrapheap Challenge kind of thing that is safe from hypermicro management/moderation.



Mouse is rambling a bit now.  I hope everyone has learned something today.



also, there is a change.org project started to chain vil away from posting here on these forums, please support it; hey look how funny i am

There have been about a half dozen very positive changes in the last week here.

The only thing that would complete it would be to perm. ban you from the forums.

Let's vote.

Dev Zoom, can we close the threads being continously trolled by alts because they are too scared, and maybe a little deletion action?

extreme is the only way to get things fixed around here

Yo Mouse, I know how to run 50 beacons. Thats not the point. You could also say everyone should multibox 9 accounts for the $$$$$$$$$$ also ... But not everyone has the hardware to do this.  I got the 50 beacons, arhkes, bombs, I get it.  But hey, in the end Zoom is doing something that is needed. When mechanics work and people chug along everything is fine and theres no need to nerf ..but when someone pushes it, and then everyone pushes things to an extreme, and then economics are out of balance, thats when the nerf is required. This is that time.

And lol Ville, 95% of your posts are trolls, when someone trolls you you automatically take the high road?  You da adult!

Maybe in a free 2 play model, premium accounts can do 4 beacons and free is limited to 3

Syndic wrote:

3 beacon rule is fair to everyone. I would explore the possibility of making it a 4 beacon rule once the mission revamp kicks in and the OP missions are gone.

Gamma and the involved risk & reward still requires a lot of balancing work.

An excellent compromise. Thanks.
You could reach God-like status by banning Ville permanently.  fuuu
Just sayin'

Immaturity at its finest.  I'm so glad I'm an adult.

The mechanic, at least, is used by people who are not actually at their computer to gather intel of people coming and going from squads or from stations or from GC.  That doesnt sound like a big deal to some people but it is a powerful intel tool for others.

What would beastmodeguns do without it???????     see what I mean

ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce the most out of touch person in the game

welcome him and comfort him for he knows no better

nothing you wrote here is accurate -

this is a testament to how broken some of the things are/were and how it has been kept a secret for so long

sorry to burst your bubble, but you missed out on the gold rush

pls dont forget one thing in this discussion:

the income from poping beacons on gamma with explotion dmg is good, but its not as imense as some might imply here.

first you have to get the beacons. you can either do artefakting, that is a very long process, you can do missions for tokens, that is a ver long process, or you can buy the tokens on the market, where somebody else had to work long to get them.
and even if you buy them then you have to substract your investments before doing your time calculations.

yes chaining beacons yields a few 100m nic a hour. but to do that its a lot pre work (either by you or someone else) or a preinvestment.

the final poping of the beacons is not the only time involved and you have to take the "getting the beacons" also into your equation. it snot ony poping then in 3 mins. you have to take a look at the whole picture.

now a question to the devs: if you make beacons unintrsting for gamma again. this might remove the only usefull pve that can be done on gamma besides observer killing once every 8 hours or so.

its surely not worth running after that few roaming npcs.

if you want to fix that then maybe think of reducing the explotion dmg and even more important, maybe you want to improve the npc ai and the ai that spawns the bots.
for example that they will not spawn in a closed envioment, and that they will not delog you in most cases when they can not reach you (because of a well build "beacon pit").
... ... ...

gamma is not providing a lot of "fun" aspects atm anyway. nearly no pve content.
yea nice for industrials when you have a "secure" island (not that its realy possible) but combat wise any beta and alpha island has more to offer. beacons was one factor that was worth it. id that is gone it will make gamma even more boring.

Listen up!

Ill sum this up for you people, so you can understand.



CIR made/based their corp gameplay around groups of accounts that were used by many people on almost an hourly basis.

CIR players logged in and used the sets of best miner accounts so mins were mined all day long.  Different people would take over as needed.

This same gameplay occurred in PvP if it was needed.

These people in CIR advertised to their playerbase that accounts were available for trial or what have you.


Now.... if this wasnt bad enough, this guy, lets call him Syndic, decides it was a great idea to not only brag about this in GC, but to practically dare the community to do something about it.

and, as I recall he was ..... then   ...   he does his usual rage quit.



------------------------

Lets talk about RG now.   Merkles part of this RG gaming community, his old mates gave him their accounts pretty much and who knows how many there are maybe 10, not sure whatever.

Merk plays these accounts himself, and I am sure there is a guest appearance from who knows who from the old school for a night.

He is not basing his entire corps economy or entire corps gameplay around passing accounts around on an hourly basis.


-----

So, lets talk about PHMs crusade against all of this - Vil pushes the limit of seeing what and how much he can get away with here vs. the Devs or whatever, maybe trying impress his old boss, who the heck knows.



He cant see the point that is made over and over and over again by Zoom.  The Devs use their discression and there is nothing all you people can do about that..........  STOP ASKING

WOW

Just WOW,


You guys go on and on about it.  You get your but kicked and the only thing you can do against the people kicking your but is try to get them in trouble about some dumb acccount thing.

Lets see, you guys invented the account sharing and your silly leader rubbed it in....

Take your but beating like men and stop with this nonsense.


for real

also, everyone knows that Dev Zoom, a few days ago, in GC said to everyone that people can gift accounts to other people, which is not the same as two people using the same account back and forth


just drop it and go QQ on your about to be lost island





also, in before Vill says some nonsense that we are tired of hearing over and over again that will most likely get removed anyways because hes a rageaholic
