Now this is not a moan but we have had a hictor sit on one of the new gates... the bubble can no longer cover the gate and it cannot stop people even warping to the gate. Me thinks ccp needs to increase the hictor bubble size. :)
Anyone seen this aswell?

I think it is an intended mechanic to let more people into low and 0.0... But I could be wrong..

they just need to reduce the "Jump Radius" of the gates. Besides, I'm never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down |

That's only for the region jump gates. Normal system gates are the same size as they were before, and constellation gates are larger, but not enough that 1 can't cover most of the area.
Maybe bring more than 1 HIC if you're camping a region gate. Or just use a dictor, he can spew bubbles all over the gate.

Edited by: Verx Interis on 12/11/2008 17:09:08 I prefer more epic looking gates.

Working as intended.
Consider it a nerf to have a single hic and then a bs fleet camping a gate. I think you can spare having more people to camp the larger gates, as well as spreading people out on gates you cant bubble.
Makes eve fights a bit better then camp with a hic, shoot, next target.
(then again some people really dont like strategy or tactics in their eve and just like watching the pretty explosions)

I dont see how the new gates can change anything. I'm playing with classic graphics and the stargates there is the same as always (except getting caldari stargates out in pure blind), and they're working like they always have. As far as I know graphics on the clientside shouldnt affect how the game works serverside.

Why is this so hard to figure out.
Where you used to use one HIC, and got a 90% coverage, now you use 4 HIC's and get 130% coverage.
Sheesh people. Use your head.
The whole reason for this patch is to make folks work as a team again. Not just blob. They want covops, snipers, "fast" tacklers, Logistics, ammo haulers, ECM, drone boats, caps....
THINK PEOPLE.
Almost every change that has come with this patch will force people to work as a team more. To co-ordinate more. To GANG more.

Or you could just move your camp 1 system up whatever pipe it is you're trying to cover.
the only gates that can't be covered by a single hic/dictor are the regional chokepoints...

so like what... you need to have more than just one hdic to cover the const and regional gates... doesn't really seem like that big an issue to resolve.

Edited by: Jack Gilligan on 12/11/2008 19:03:14 Edited by: Jack Gilligan on 12/11/2008 19:02:49 It's a flawed mechanic that won't end up working. All it hurts are gangs with hictors/dictors. It won't increase anyone's "access to 0.0". You will just see more "discoballed" gates with multiple large anchored bubbles doing the job that one would do before.
Making all the gates ginormous along with making bubbles smaller was overkill. But then so was most of the rest of Quantum Nerf.

Quoted for the truth. I'm sure there are many regions where the next system in is just as good a chokepoint as the entry system.
