EVE= Skill Training Online?

EVE
With every new patch, CCP releases new content that is usually worthless or nerf's a fun part of the game. There are SO many broken game mechanics that need serious attention, lag issues, and plain pve content. Yet they choose to add planetary interaction or new sov mechanics. When people want fixes for FW, fixes for RR aggression in both High/Low Sec, LAG, among MANY other things.

I saw a good future for this game when Apocrypha hit, it brought T3 ships, wormholes, small-medium rigs, training queue, and other minor additions. All EXCELLENT additions to the game.

Dominion was kinda bleh with sov. changes and the added lag.

Tryagains was a total disaster, they broke contacts to all hell, lag is even worse, PI is a waist of time, the calendar is OK, 1 new ship model? seriously?

During all of these patches they have nerfed a lot of ships/items/things(d-scanner, deep safes), and boosted most notably faction ships and projectile weapons(was needed).

So I ask, what is CCP doing for the veteran players? Not what we are asking for, we want the game fixed, they want silly new features for marketing.

Final Thoughts

Honestly, this game is a time sink. And not a particularly fun one at that!
You can spend hours looking for a fight in this game and find nothing, something, crap, or rarely, fun. I usually log on and look at the clock, do some roaming, look at the clock to see I just spent 2 hours and have done absolutely nothing. No more..

So I think since I just bought a gtc, I will play skill training online. I chose not to renew my alt's account when the last patch hit and shit was so broken, so when fosters account runs dry I will not add time to it. I see ALOT of people doing the same on SHC, because they are hoping the game gets fixed one day, and they have the isk to keep buying time cards. I don't have the isk to keep buying them, but I will keep the account and toon incase they do fix the game.

Retiring A Ship...

I don't know if anyone has actually done that in eve? It might sound kinda silly? BUT I have had the SAME vagabond, yes the exact same vaga since I have been able to fly them, in fact it still has large rigs on it. Well just the other day I was telling some of my corp mates about that, and some were shocked that a PVP ship has lasted that long since the patch. They told me to store it, I decided it deserved to be retired!

But not only has this ship lasted that long, it is has accumulated 100 kills! Yes 100 kills with the same ship(Number 101, was the new vaga =P)! I think that is a pretty good service record for a PVP ship so I decided to retire her in Jita 4-4.



We have been in many close calls, good fights and long roams. Its final kill was grumpy Russian raven war target that we caught on a gate. So from this day forward, this ship shall not be used in any further combat actions and shall only be removed from station to be cleaned, space mites killed, WD-40 applied, and excess rust removed.

In rust we trust.

Killrights

Long Story short!

In the past week I have gotten my sec status up, enough to travel anywhere in high security space! Before this I was a pirate, shooting anything I could and when possible, podding. The results of these actions has given a lot people kill rights on myself, while some have expired, a few still have a couple of weeks left.

You think I'm a moron?

First thing I did was set everyone who had kill rights on me red and added them to my address book. Dur! So I would know who and if they are online. No really much of a issue so far, I have learned to watch local like I was in 0.0 or low sec.
Yesterday while sitting semi-afk in station, doing some catchup on work, I get a convo.
From a person who has kill rights on me of all people. I will just post the chat logs and let you read them.

I undocked in my vaga, to see him sitting on the undock in a Thorax. He scrammed me the instant he could lock me, and being scrammed in a vaga usually means death, thus I docked right back up. I was switching out to get my ruppy to fight him since he has aggro on me, when my alt noticed him undocking in a myrmidon. I quickly changed out to a hurricane and undocked. He immediately engaged, and so did I. We had a decent fight going, when he hit about 50% armor, he deagressed and docked in structure. AHHHHH



So after my aggression timer was up, I docked and repaired my burnt modules, and waited to see if he would undock again. He did not and I logged.
Honestly I think most people don't realize they have kill rights on someone, but apparently this dude did and wants revenge.
I invite him to try again, with less noob luring attempts next time I would imagine.

Babe of the Week!

There back! A little summer to a dull winter!

My EVE Wishlist..

I have noticed a lot of people have there eve wish list, a list of changes they would like to the overall game itself.

I personally have my own.

-Boost low sec rewards! Make it more profitable to be in low sec than high sec, I mean really, it should be a no brainier and pretty easy for the devs. You are a moron if you move to low sec to make more isk!

-GCC Timers. I waist 15min after every engagement because of this shit. For what? So the damn sentry's can shoot me, I'm already blinky. Its not like the fight is worth the 15min timer nowadays, the way this game is now, you get blobbed or blob, thus the engagement last about 1 min tops!
Turn this shit off for players with a -5 sec status in low sec please.

-Self destruct=No Insurance! Easy fix, too many dumb ass pilots self destruct there ship when they are getting beat by a inferior force, because they won't have any evidence of there fail. They know by SD, they get insurance and the attackers get nothing, no loot and no killmail. Spend 15mins killing a carrier, then he decides to Self Destruct, more time wasting in EVE due to poor game mechanics.

-Fix Minmatar recons! The web nerf sucked ass IMHO. But you also nerfed a 150m+ T2 ship. Give the recons a web strength bonus please.

-TRASH FW! FW was possibly the worst idea in eve history. None of these faggots even give a shit about FW plex's, missions, or WT's. They blob/bait pirates and run from the other faction. If they are not doing that, they are farming the missions for the ships & standings, and never fight the other faction.

-Session timers are gay! I totally understand aggro timers, I have no beef with them. But what pisses me off is when I dock in station, wait 30 seconds to switch ships, switch to my new ship, wait 30 more seconds, then undock. I don't ever expect this to be changed, but its another stupid game mechanic wasting time.

That is all I can think of now and if you don't like my list, then fuck off.
Thank You!

Babe of the Week!

Merry Christmas!
