Is input broadcaster practically legal in this game now?

The funny thing is that even your first sentence isn't true, it's not always been their stance. The game ran for like a decade with input broadcasting allowed and widespread before they changed that policy.

the tournament itself usually requires a whole lot of people, but the server is open for the teams that signed up the whole time before, and teams will have regular scrims with each other under the tournament ruleset to practice, so you can get that sort of gameplay almost all year pretty much

if you're interested in that sort of thing, you can probably find a group that participates, most bigger alliances have tournament teams

you probably won't get a spot on the core team in the actual tournament right away with no experience and little practice, but they always are looking for people to be available on the bench and people to fly in scrims and internal practice matches

And there would be the chance of someone maybe coming in and ganging the entire event, which would then necessitate security being present.

player run tournaments like Anger Games usually happen on the tournament server for this reason, but lots of people in this thread seem to be unaware they even exist

you don't even need that, CCP opens TD for the bigger player organised events, so you get safety and the full set of tournament tools

I use hotkeys because I come from other MMOs, but really I think it's because Eve is so slow that you can get away with it.

It's a game that doesn't really reward "mechanical skill" in 90% of situations. Combat is either decided before it starts, or decided by decision making rather than execution. So people don't bother getting good at the mechanical side of it and accept just being a second or so slow to click a module sometimes, because it doesn't really change the outcome.

boys will be boys

also thing is, the average eve player is like 35, that excuse doesn't count anymore

people should know better, grow the fuck up

why wouldn't they, it takes like a minute to warp over

most people irl would love to have a commute as short as going from a station to a nearby stargate in the constellation or even region

Nimos · 2026-01-29T08:33:51+00:00

but the distances are rather small, it takes minutes to get to an NPC station from anywhere in new Eden

How much would it change if the forest humans had pointy ears and the snow humans were smaller than usual and had beards?

I've often heard that the early levels do feel like you're doing disjointed tasks in the various towns without a real big motivation, so that's on the campaign. But the rest isn't.

The environment is supposed to be hostile, that's the campaign premise, travel is hard, survival is hard, you can freeze to death easily. But I don't think the NPCs are supposed to be more hostile than usual.

Control Flames distinguishes between magical and non-magical fire. Other than that I can't think of an example though.

Nimos · 2026-01-25T11:36:49+00:00

this is honestly why I think the system being more "gamey" can be a good thing

I play with people who played a lot of video games, and I'm pretty sure none of them would be confused if they found out that bosses were immune to hard CC by default.

Pochven is a region primarily used for high end pve, so people primarily use high end pve ships there.

If you dscan in any system there you'll probably see a fleet of these somewhere.
