CCP Nullarbor

Graphs are hot.

So is feedback on this stuff, let us know what you think because we want to deploy it all Thursday :-)

Now in the proper thread...

Hey guys! A quick update on the dev blog:

We are aware that there may possibly be a way to lock a district indefinitely. We have discussed this with the CPM and internally. For now we are going forward with tomorrows release of all the information included in this dev blog. We have monitoring in place to see how things go over. We are also working on plans that we can implement early or mid next week depending how this weekend goes.

Thank you everyone who has been providing feedback here, on IRC, twitter, and just anywhere else.

That is all for now. Carry on. :)

When last they introduced changes to PC, a lot of people warned CCP about the possible loopholes and exploits. Autolocking districts, low numbers on clone packs, how difficult it would be for new corps to get in PC, ... everything.

What cracks me up about that thread is that at the start it was like this:

And ended like this:

In other words: "Hey guys! We know those changes allow a glaring exploit, but we are going along with them because we are cool like that."

So these problems were called a month and a half ago, before changes were implemented. CCP acknowledged them, but decided to go along with it because they just know better.


A month and a half later, with lower player population, they start talking about solving a problem they created. A problem we warned them before they created it. I wonder what they want when they ask for feedback, because it is certainly not feedback.

The problem is that you guys acquired all of this land while PC was unplayable to a large chunk of the playerbase due to lag and memory leaks, and while the balance was arguably as skewed and "broken" as it's ever been towards a few FOTM setups.

Heck, I'd be surprised if the majority of players even realized you guys were grabbing so much land, most of us didn't even look at the stats for PC for months. Now that the majority of the technical problems with PC are fixed, and the game is a little bit more balanced, everyone takes another look at the game mode and lo and behold; 1 group seems to own most of the territory.

Now, this would be fine if the equilibrium could be fixed by attacking your districts and whittling down your hold to just the amount of districts you guys can hold (which was the main intent of the FEC). Unfortunately, with the broken mechanic of being able to "lock down" your districts and still turn a profit, you can pretty much sit on all that land inevitably.

Is this your fault? No. You guys saw an opportunity and took it. Unfortunately for you guys though, just like so many other aspects of the game, CCP's mistakes are going to have to negatively effect someone in order to fix them.

So, if you guys want to sit on those districts and leave them locked indefinitely, then go for it, it just helps prove how broken the game mode really is. However, if you don't want to sit on them and keep them locked, then it looks to me like you're either going to keep getting attacked until you reach a size that you can hold on your own, or you can step up to the negotiating table and meet the demands of the FEC.

The cheap way, the hard way, or the easy way.

Your choice.

The community is far from awesome, but CCP is certainly not better.

You should read that thread...the community actually gave useful feedback...systematically ignored does not encourage to give more.

That leaves the forum only for nerf qq or troll threads and posts. Like yours.

melee glitch first.
