I do NOT want the release postponed. I do NOT want DSPs. The patterns will come soon enough. The defaults that they give us are fine until then. The overlay is great and immersive. eh, no sense continuing. I think CCP is going the right direction on all the points that seem to bother you.
I would ask CCP, though, to give us an auto-center formation on scan result function. And a function to keep the best result from every scan for each signature and ignore worse results.
I think that you are outnumbered here by the number of folks who do not like the changes. I think it's safe to say that most of us here have qualms with some aspect of the exploration system. It is very apparent that CCP did not solicit opinions from the player base and I'm even starting to suspect that they ignored the CSM as well.
No....this update is not on par with the previous updates. The mechanics that CCP is implementing have not been given due consideration. I am all for the great gate effects and some of the other nice touches that they have added. DSPs are quite helpful in the game though- I use them to get a list of all signatures in a system before I even start to probe down sites. I build a check list and then I hunt down each signature based on my list. I'm not so sure that this new system is really adding anything to the game. It's basically changing something that doesn't need to be change. I do like the the quick probe configs but I agree with others that this should be customizable.
Unlike you, I do not see how making grav sites able to be accessed by any ship without the use of probes is such a great idea. Mission running already is the defacto money maker in Eve- I guess this is CCPs way of telling the miners to just move on to something else that doesn't have a skewed risk-to-reward ratio.
I understand that you want to just see something new and shiny come out- I get that... I believe however that patience is key here and I definitely think that CCP needs to hold back on some of these ideas until they can hammer out some proper balance to the game mechanics.

A LETTER TO THE FOLLOWERS OF EVE 05.10.2011 17:29 By CCP Hellmar
Dear Followers of EVE Online,
The past few months have been very humbling for me. IGÇÖve done much soul searching, and what follows is my sincere effort to clear the air with all of you. Please bear with me as I find my way through.
The estrangement from CCP that many of you have been feeling of late is my fault, and for that I am truly sorry. There are many contributing factors, but in the end it is I who must shoulder the responsibility for much of what has happened. In short, my zeal for pushing EVE to her true potential made me lose sight of doing the simple things right. I was impatient when I should have been cautious, defiant when I should have been conciliatory and arrogant when I should have been humble....
..... Somewhere along the way, I began taking success for granted. As hubris set in, I became less inclined to listen to pleas for caution. Red flags raised by very smart people both at CCP and in the community went unheeded because of my stubborn refusal to allow adversity to gain purchase on our plans. Mistakes, even when they were acknowledged, often went unanalyzed, leaving the door open for them to be repeated.
You have spoken, loudly and clearly, with your words and with your actions. And there were definitely moments in recent history when I wish I would have listened more and taken a different path.
I was wrong and I admit it.
In the interest of time I'll just cut that off right there, because if you're capable of getting the point it'll be enough.
Stop ignoring us. Address the many repeated concerns voiced in not only this thread but since this feature set was added to the test server.
Don't pick out the one or two positive posts that you made with your alts just to generate the appearance that this is some kind of dynamic exchange of information.
We pay you for this game. We deserve to be treated like we matter. You need to respond to the CRITICISM of this feature set, you need to do it now and you need to LISTEN to us before you put these changes into effect on the live server. Quoting because this should be on every new page of the thread until CCP listens.
sadly i think the only way to really get CCP to listen is through a mass un-sub protest. i am willing. but who else is?

Draconus Lofwyr wrote:all grav and belts are now going to be anoms? welcome to easy mode for gankers and gangs. CCP, this was the wrong action to take. I am all for removing the static overview belts to combat bot miners, but not anoms. If you really want to do right and encourage mining, then 3 changes are needed
1. make all systems have anom based belts that only have highsec ores and ices, even in the deepest 0.0 systems
2. lowsec and nullsec higher and high end ores are still probe out only. so if you want the mex, and ABC ores, you still have to go find them.
3. remove system develop indices from the star map and add sovereignty challenge actions ( sbu's in system) currently the starmap will point the way to where people are ratting and mining like a lighthouse beacon for roaming gangs, AKA, easy mode.
These changes will make roaming gangs have to actually hunt for targets, like the miners have to do for their minerals and the ratters have to do for their rats.
That would actually be a really great, I think. Scordite and Veldspar in the static belts. The four 0.5<0.9 ores in anomalies. The Zydrine-producing ores (Jaspet, Hemorphite, Hedbergite) in signatures in high sec and megacyte-producing ones in lowsec/nullsec.
It gives new players who jump into mining right away baby steps of incentive to get into exploration. Tritanium and pyerite is practically given away, isogen and mexallon gets people into hitting their onboard scanner at least, and zydrine and megacyte requires one further step into probing. Suddenly astrometrics is very valuable to miners, you've got exploration as a career in high demand by industrial/mining corps, but at the same time if miners don't want to go down that road, they don't have to. Scordite is one of the highest price ores by volume of the six high sec ore types, so unless prices change they still make a "living" even if they aren't going for omber/plagioclase/pyroxeres/kernite. |

CCP as usual, taking the Ham-fisted approach of "MY WAY BECAUSE WE KNOW BETTER" .
Nightmares of past horrors are coming back.
As a weekend prober and explorer, these changes are simply cosmetic, thrown out haphazardly and OBVIOUSLY made by people that don-¦t know their game, don-¦t play it or believe all we need to do here is PVP FOR THE LULZ.
Many much much better vet probers here have already stated, as well as in the test threads why all of these changes are BAD and WRONG.
I for one join the stance of seeing these changes as utterly antagonizing to niche proffesions and ways of play.
It is as if CCP wanted to conglomerate ALL players into a single amorphous blob of a play style.
Only thing I don-¦t quite understand, and thats why I voted for Chitsa, is that WH/Exploration mechanics needed to be looked at , not dumbed down and made prettier, so my hopes, even if slim go to him/her/it in delivering the message as a token of at least.
If I wanted to play a "pretty" game I wouldn-¦t be here and if I wanted to feel in a Star Wars battle full of blazing action, I wouldnt be here either.
ugh, just posting my displeasure, I dont care if they read this or not. I vented most of my anger a couple years ago in the forums, it-¦s useless.
Even the CSM rep will be heard and replied with a "Good points, we will look into them" as the CCP staff just goes back to whatever great plans they have in mind in a game they seem to no longer play. CCP is still stuck in 2005 and Null as the endgame of everything, and all i can do is watch Hisec as I shake my head.

Odyssey is in a 200% better shape then it was when first deployed on sisi. There are some kinks to iron out but for all intents and purposes, it is at least functional. They can then do a major patch or second deployment in like Aug/Sept to fix any minor tweaks and major changes. it doesnt need to be pushed back months because 100+ players decide its bad. Keeping in mind 100 out of 60,000 is still not enough to warrant a major roll back. Besides, of that 60K only about 10% ever come onto the forums. So really the only way to confirm it is to put it live and see the reaction. It takes time to adjust. |

A step in the right direction. Not enough, but a step nonetheless.
I wouldn't mind seeing the auto-recall kept just in case of logging off, as an edge case (sucks to be stranded because ISP failed/WiFi down/PC died/neighbour cut the cable while gardening...), but people should have a spare set of probes in their cargo anyway.

It's currently balanced because ALL warp-able asteroid belts exist within K-space and you can see who is in local also, if you ever noticed, you won't find many mining barges mining the regular belts in low-sec- there's a good reason for this. At any rate, explorers who put in the time to locate grav sites using probes SHOULD be rewarded with being able to find a site that can't easily be accessible without the use of probes. I'm guessing you don't do much mining yourself. If you are concerned you won't get an easy gank, just watch some videos of advanced combat scanning and you will learn how, with practice, you can jump in on anyone but the most cautious of mining ships. |

seems like you agree with me on all points except the last. and you are wrong there, if the miner takes the time to probe out the site then he should be rewarded with a slight margin of safety. and this is coming from a pirate who kills any miner i see. i prefer a challenge in hunting with probes instead of just turning on the overlay... i just don't get how CCP does not see it this way... this grav site change of theirs should be for highsec only. |

I agree with everything here. Why did I bother to train up scanning skills to use DSP or more probes just to have those skills given away through the "easy button"?
Grav sites as anoms is a truly horrible idea . |

Exactly! This proposed change kills wh mining completely. I'm guessing that is CCPs intention. There are plenty of hisec asteroid belts available, the occasional Grav site is a reward for miners who put in the time to scan them down. No longer.
If CCP plans on getting rid of all static asteroid belts, much as they are doing with ice belts, then they should just come clean and admit it. |

In other words, you already suspend your disbelief for core aspects of the game. Please shut up about your "immersion" being the excuse for a change and give feedback based on game theory, player experience, balance, or something equally as valuable. The thing with Sci-Fi and the suspension of disbelief is that a consistency within a universe is key. For probes auto recalling my issue would be that if my probes can instantly appear in my cargo hold when I jump a gate 100AU from where the probes were dropped why don't my probes move everywhere instantly, why is there a a transit time before they start scanning? It doesn't make sense and is needless hand holding, at the moment if you lose your probes you learn to remember to recall them, now there's going to be no consequence to someone forgetting. Maybe CCP meant to make these changes to drones but selected probes.

If I get caught at any point, or chased, I then have to recall all my probes before jumping back through the wh or I lose them. I might even get caught in another wh without probes and get screwed.
Some may do it another way. That's the great thing about EVE. There are many ways to do the same thing.
But in the new system it's hop through, hit button to deploy all probes, cloak up. Someone comes after you, you hop back through the wh, auto return probes and go on your merry way. All the same.
So tell me, which system is more of a challenge? Which one is keeping with the spirit of EVE?
Except with this change, I can jump into a WH, remain cloaked, hit the scan button, locate all the Anoms and Grav Sites and warp to each site.
There is no warning, there is no heads up, its just an instant loss. Please explain how that is fair or balanced? |

Why should person A be in a grav site and have marginal safety while person B in the same system in a standard belt have no safety? This is NOT balanced, im glad they are removing them from sigs to anoms. It's currently balanced because ALL warp-able asteroid belts exist within K-space and you can see who is in local also, if you ever noticed, you won't find many mining barges mining the regular belts in low-sec- there's a good reason for this. At any rate, explorers who put in the time to locate grav sites using probes SHOULD be rewarded with being able to find a site that can't easily be accessible without the use of probes. I'm guessing you don't do much mining yourself. If you are concerned you won't get an easy gank, just watch some videos of advanced combat scanning and you will learn how, with practice, you can jump in on anyone but the most cautious of mining ships. Exactly! This proposed change kills wh mining completely. I'm guessing that is CCPs intention. There are plenty of hisec asteroid belts available, the occasional Grav site is a reward for miners who put in the time to scan them down. No longer. If CCP plans on getting rid of all static asteroid belts, much as they are doing with ice belts, then they should just come clean and admit it. Some times ago there was this talk that there was to much ABC mining going on in w-space and it should be removed. Guess we have the answer now, why it wasn't removed at that time. |

Hey CCP
RESPOND goddammit, we are reading your silence as a very large "FU playerbase we don't give a sh!t about your opinions."
I feel there's a monument in Jita in need of some serious (and unfriendly) atention.
Anyone care to join me? |

CCP is the new SOE. (Check SWG and see where "making things easier" got them).
Scanning and the mining changes are complete crap. There is no balance when I can jump into a WH system, scan down the anoms without launching a prob while cloaked and grab an unsuspecting miner without warning.
Null Sec has Local Chat alerting the locals the minute someone comes into the system.
Scanning should be challenging - that is the idea. The sites you are scanning down are worth more than typical sites. |

Cloaked ships don't show on DScan, but combat scanner probes do. Now there is no need, just use new system scan and harvest miner tears |

This is what I have been talking about - any cloaked ships can come harvest miners without the slightest warning. There is no risk vs reward there. It's just plain suicide. I can just bounce around in my stealth and pop miners in every system I enter.

yes. we have entered the realm of magic now. apparently middle earth was found in some remote wormhole, and Gandalf was very willing to share some of his wizardry with the rest of the universe. look for more magical behavior in future expansions, its coming. we have crossed from sci-fi to fantasy, folks.
This is very disappointing. I don't like magic mixed with my science. |

"The team took part in the theme-conception work overseen by CCP Seagull earlier in the year."
So it is a theme park? Not a sandbox. I guess most of us knew by now.
Yes. Another dumb dumbing down of EVE. Seemingly to cater to those large numbers of people who ragequit after losing probes - or the retards who can not (be arsed to) read or do simple calculation. The false underlying notion being that new players are also not very intelligent players.
Maximising revenue InstaSuccess is the new value proposition - gaming designed for a new generation of players who are unable to deal with obstacles of any kind? Who ragequit and go play WoT if anything is not instant and easy. Is that it? All the while Mr. ****-Yeah-We-Have-250000-People-With-Bounties-On-Them-In-EVE Touborg spots "interesting" social dynamics amongst the players pitted in his little private anthropology project that EVE has become.
This is serious folks, EVE is going down. It is becoming more and more like podge with every 'expansion'. Because nothing is really expanding - things are just being messed up.
On the contrary, the latitude for brains and problem solving, for true achievement by coping and making an actual effort is being rooted out bit by bit as what seems to be the perceived obstacle for a higher subscriber growth rate/retention ratio.
EVE is getting easy and pretty. Like a Hong Kong hooker. |
