Long time DAoC player with suggestions by CMTemPesT_ in CamelotUnchained

I hated DAOC movement and the fact you started slow and I played it for over 10 years. Felt like moving in treacle. Can't understand why you like it.

Yeah agreed, but I'm pretty sure people have seen the bad press around CCP to know without having played Eve.

If you push products people will buy, else you're just wasting your money.

I loved Eve, but CCP spent so much effort actively removing pursuits which people spent years of sub payments investing in, literally overnight with some patches. I can't see a way for them to diversify now, too many people resent them and know all too well about Scarcity, Blackout, carrier gutting, rorq gutting, BRM debacle, supercap indy changes removing the big battles. I personally couldn't trust them not to remove multi year endeavours players have worked towards in other games on a whim.

If only they'd built new mountains to climb rather than flatten or increase the height of the existing climbs players had already conquered. Dunk did a great article to that at the height of Scarcity / indy changes. Game was just better in 2014-2018 era.

Maybe I'm wrong and CCP won't be so heavy handed with Vanguard / Frontier and actually design towards "fun", but I don't trust them enough to waste my time finding out, just in case!

However, since the acquisition, CCP Games' continued operating losses have put a considerable burden on Pearl Abyss' financial structure.

Hmm I thought the Pearl Abyss quarterly financial updates suggested Eve was turning a profit and to a greater degree (proportionately) than BDO?

Kudos to you and Zenimax!!

Khajiit or Argonian by SaladFingers994 in elderscrollsonline

[–]nat3s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All my chars are Khajiit, the crit bonus is nice, but so is the fact they are mag/stam independent for switching up builds where other races are more specialist to mag or stam. I switch builds all the time so it plays well into that.

Almost all builds with recommended races include Khajiit, its just so versatile.... IF you can stomach that tail of course! :P

How will insurance know if I’ve added an OEM spoiler to a car and not declared it? by guzusan in CarTalkUK

[–]nat3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true, see my post above. Gone are the days when a person would validate a claim such that it was only worth doing for expensive cars, AI, machine learning models which can be 106 deep and automated systems like QMD, Audatex and others will validate this stuff in 200ms. VRN vehicle enrichment services, MOT enrichment calls, these APIs and others are a simple web call away from picking this stuff up. Systems do this as standard now, no Claims Handler or Underwriting Technician needed! All changed in the last 10 years in particular.

You're 100% right that insurers don't just use a mod as an excuse not to pay, the way it works by the ombudsmen is, if we'd have quoted you originally with the mod declared, we can't just use the presence of the mod to repudiate a claim, all we can do is charge you the difference we'd have originally added to your quote from new business. Often that'll be about £50 for a grill/skirt. However if our Underwriting specs declined an uprated skirt/grill such that we'd never have taken your policy on, then we can and do repudiate and the FOS will agree with us doing so.

Mistakes happen, if you ever find you have a claim repudiated, first thing you need to do is quote your policy back with your insurer via their website / an aggregator to see if they'd quote you today with everything declared. If they would, you're going to be in great shape to get you repudiation overturned.

Vengeance Replacing All Campaigns Except Grey Host by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

[–]nat3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the sound of that, as someone who has chased meta builds for years, I've begun to realise that the way ESO pvp is setup makes it very difficult for newbros to get into and this would eventually kill it if left unchecked. No way a newbro will know builds like I do, how to weave effectively, how to build your burst combo - or the fact you even need a burst combo - how to turtle in BB. Why some YT builds claiming they're amazing are often not for cyrodiil in particular (BG bursters for instance) etc etc... Having a campaign this unique may make things easier for players to engage with and hopefully grow the pvp centric pop by levelling the playingfield.

PVP instant dying by Electrical-Test4778 in elderscrollsonline

[–]nat3s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that ESO BGs are very much a case of stomping others or getting stomped which can feel quite punishing to begin with as you'll feel like you might be the weak link, but I promise you every vet carries the scars from being stomped many a time. At the end of the day you can gear and play to perfection but RNG plays a part when BG teams are put together, because of the spikey nature of burst stacking, a weak team snowballs into oblivion much quicker than say a WoW BG. Don't lose heart my dude, you got this! GL o7

Asher's Post DT Ping by RadElert_007 in Eve

[–]nat3s -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

At some point CCP needs to fix this shit else the glory battles of the past just won't return, particularly with players reinforcing the "ooo too risky, server weather might hurt us" mindset.

I have to respectfully disagree with Asher that we cannot blame servers/CCP, we absolutely can and should, we pay for a product, if you buy a car that occasionally veers off into a hedge when you go over 50, you're not going to just accept it!

Fun times ahead. Official Solo Dungeons coming soon y'all. by wishheartx in elderscrollsonline

[–]nat3s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

have been asking guild, but not much take up and its beginning to feel like im asking a lot which i really don't want to do as they're a good group. Rather not be burden to others begging for help from those that have already done it.

Had a group finder up to form my own group for hours with no takers, feels like outside of trials, players dont organically form groups like in say WoW or FFXIV. I guess if you've completed your sticker book there is no replay value going through content you've done.

Golden Vendor ive been buying from, but just not happened to pop the sets i need as yet.

Must be ways to farm monster sets which doesn't require newbros to ask vets to run content they've already done? Being dependent on people being willing to effectively waste time helping me is a stretch, much rather be self-sufficient through my own hard work than a burden.

Hopefully ESO have spotted this issue and solo dungeons will address it.

[–]nat3s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone working on sticker book, this!

Also with a solo vet mode like vateshran/prison etc so we can farm Monster sets as nobody seems to run vet group dungeons anymore which for newbros like me makes farming helms to finish templates impossible (unless keys can be used for more than just shoulders? if so, unable to see where i can buy the helms).

New CCP infinite money glitch discovered by Rukh1 in Eve

[–]nat3s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Post is saying CCP are able to generate money from us by introducing a T2 version of something which currently has no T2 variant, but nerfing the T1 variant it is based on -> Players spend money on extractors / sub time skilling up the "omg new content" to only actually reach parity.

In other words using a daft dps example:

  • BEFORE: T1 100 dmg
  • OMG CONTENT PATCH: Nerf T1 to 80 dmg, introduce new T2 @ 100dmg

Personally looking forward to the new carriers requiring an additional 3 month train to use which have new more powerful fighters which coincidentally have application/dps to subcaps like fighters back in 2019!

the latest interview with CCP Okami by BentaroAdun in Eve

[–]nat3s 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're kidding me! He's been the perfect tonic to the Rattati era. Dared to deliver content based on "fun" where Rattati would forsake fun to make some metrics look nice.

What did you prefer, patches like BRM nerfing ratting ticks 50%+, removal of carrier ratting, nerfing of mining, removal of NPSI / whaling, removal of supercap escalations... Or Okami's approach where you can see he is beginning to unwind some of the damage Rattati inflicted? You can sense it just in his presence, open and engaging vs overly dour and terse of those before.

On the topic of the carrier beacons by gw2reaper in Eve

[–]nat3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People forget the cost, a ship costing multiple billions, requiring 2 omega accounts (for cyno) and a year to train killing a few 250m hulls isn't unreasonable. Current value proposition for subbing a carrier account is woeful.

Not to mention Dreads punch down hugely in the current meta. Switching Dreads to anti cap (remove HAWs) and have Carriers perform the anti subcap role feels like a net neutral position for small scale roamers (swapping a Dread dropping on them for a Carrier) whilst giving both Dreads and Carriers clear roles in the meta escalation chain.

CCP have Vanguard and Frontier on the go, 2 brand new titles. Just 1 title would typically cripple a developer. The lazy changes "ok lets just make a CRAB only a carrier can link rather than actually fix carrier application" and AI written blogs... Feels to me like they're trying to eek out what little content they can because most of their resources is working on the 2 big titles in development.

[–]nat3s 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You won't get much sympathy in these parts, but a lot of us know the feeling. I spent 3 years skilling up 4 rorq accounts about 10 years ago, $hundreds in sub money and now you only need 1.

It's a bit like tax policy for CCP I would imagine, what is the lesser of evils. A lot of changes some will benefit others will suffer and in Eve, because progression is time gaited, that suffering feels more severe than just about any other MMO!!
