That is actually even worse, Doek can still have the data and keep it within the STC community.

I'll be as concise as possible:

API metadata with exact coord locations of combat deaths provides intel to people using out-of-game tools that they wouldnt have otherwise...

unless..

they were using in game proper tools like actually be in robots and scouting or using intel from other people in bots who were there or are there..

This simple data can be used to establish patterns of activity that people would not know otherwise, unless they gathered the intel in game.

A post greenlight world has fights all over the island.

You programmers are all alike, very smart but not street smart.

*edit: Yeah, don't write things that you don't want reactions for and then report them for being offtopic. - DEV Zoom

kinda reminds me of the 10 spark locations mentality, lazy people who lack vision of a real game love it.

That was quite a contribution to the subject.

All of my points are valid.

Your point is:

hey its pretty cool, so lets do it

remember what I said about street smarts

And your point is that the website now does the job of drunk and lazy in-game scouts. Oh, and hey, let's paraphrase Oppenheimer while we're at it!

There is a limit to how much info regarding in-game fleet movements/tactics that you should be able to get without logging in. Fleet comp, module useage, damage done, island are all on one side. The exact location of all your bots, where you camp, where you farm, where you harvest etc. falls on the other side. Its just too much info for zero work.

I agree this is a really cool feature, and I'm sure we can come up with a awesome way of using it that doesn't make a lot of in game content obsolete.

yeah this

thanks

Ladys and Gentlemen:

The reason why this is a terrible idea is simple.  If every time a miner or a harvestor dies, it gives away his location to the rest of the ENTIRE server were their potentially hidden Noralgis field/(off the beaten path)Epi spot will be.  On gamma this will announce where bases are, eliminating the guess work out of scouting.  And If I know a group of individuals is ALWAYS camping a certain area, I know to change my routing.  And don't tell me players won't use this as intelligence gathering, If I know someone dies repeatedly near a mission spawn on an island I can conclude they are missioning/ratting.  This is a TERRIBLE idea when it comes to the side of being anonymous.  I for one am totally against giving more intel about deaths then needs to be.

Seriously, this is a terrible idea and I pray to God/Allah whoever, this is changed.  I hate the killboards enough now, its like a giant Epeen paradise.  No one wants to commit to fight because everyone is worried about the K/D ratio and being trolled about it, well except BeastMode. 

People literally spend a lot of time scouting/planning/ and preparing for work on pvp islands.  If something logistically happens all their time is just pissed out the window.

Haha, that was my takeaway too. All in all a good few days spend on isometric projection math. I didn't learn that in school though, that makes me street smart right?

Doek, you put a *** ton of work into your website, and tbh, I use it over Perp-kill because you alone busted your *** to get some pretty nifty features in.  I respectfully ask for you take these five considerations into why I as a player do not like this.

1.  Logistics.  Anything to do with moving a hauler or bots to a specific location at a specific time.  We aren't dumb we all know during peak times of play it's not the brightest idea to move a loaded hauler across Beta.  We wait for this time and we work very gracefully to secure routes.  What worrys me is if I as a player(hunting the hauler) know that a hauler dies at a specific time or place, I will simply log off in that area and log in with the general timeframe that the previous player died, or keep an eye on when they are online or Offline.

2.  Nora farmers on Beta.  If you see any bot with harvesting die you will go there and look and destroy someones plantation.  I don't know if you played prior to turtle islands online, but players went to GREAT lengths to hide these fields, and sometimes that's a PITA to watch nora burn. 

3.  Not all players who hunt and kill, look at the overall value of the death.  It takes people after the fact sometimes going, hmm... wonder why this guy was here.

4.  Will be able to easily camp epi fields/see them when miners die on the spot.

5.  Mission runners.  This hinders ANY guys wanting to farm on Beta.

I know Gunner went Ape *** crazy on this, but he is fired up so much I got a Text from a corp mate, going "I think Gunners going to stab someone, come in TeamSpeak."

Ultimately, I am trying not to be biased on this, but it is a little hard.

Rage, you can bash me all you want, but:
1. I did not put this into the API (I'm still a graphics artist, not a coder, hence my previous post...), and I didn't even know that we had this in it before yesterday.
2. As I said this is up to the community to decide, since as you pointed out, I don't know the ramifications of this.

Syndic: we give access to the API to anyone who wants to use it and tells us what website or program he wants to use it for.

I and Jita typically get banned on all accounts for this.  BTW, don't let my previous post get muddled by nonsense.

Question is, do you want intel to be acquired in game though playing?  Or do you want intel to be made available on a website?
