This is what pisses me off to no end. The SC continually reinforces towers, and then... nothing.
It's not even a case of "Oh they dropped 600 in system, we'll go hit something else". There are simply no posted fleets to finish towers that we reinforce. We just keep bleeding battleships, while completely failing to commit to any goal.
If you dont have a stated goal you cant lose face, given its easy to manufacture a victory event for morale and then withdraw and say 'mission accomplished' if you need to its no surprise there is no serious goal being spoken about.
As for reinforcing towers and then not killing them, that's either an organizational issue, poor communication between corps and Alliance/Coalition FC's or someone has the retarded idea that a war of attrition is a good idea.
Not Dead, Just Sleeping
We are not anywhere close to something that could resemble a "victory" in this campaign so far, even I am not that delusional![]()
This war makes me picture a bunch of blind retarded kids swinging swords around hoping to hit something.
At least with Kenzoku, even their last failed attempt to take H74 near the end had planning and co-ordination. There is none of that here at all.
The fact that I've used Kenzoku as an example of a better way to do something says a lot.
the reason people arent showing up to kill reinforced towers is because people arent stupid enough any more to jump into a system with an enemy fleet already in it, without significant reinforcements or the home advantage.
sc wont jump into a nc reinforced tower system with nc already in it, nc wont jump into an sc reinforced tower system with sc in it.
difference is the nc can avoid the system while the sc is in it, but then come back immediately and reinforce their tower again. (see: P3EN)
add infinitum
Hey I love this idea here.. let's everyone in the SC pile up.. organize into 1 massive fleet. Let's go straight into a system and man are we gonna f*ck with it 23/7 There won't be an hour that we don't have a presence there and it would be insane for the NC to jump into us. We'll even make it like a camping trip on TS, telling stories to pass the time and roast e-marshmellows with CAOD flamez.
And in the time we are taking this ONE SYSTEM, the NC can ref and destroy every moon that's been taken in PB, as well as start fucking with Cry Havoc/Ev0ke sov.
I hate this f*cking system
Is anyone in the new CSM elections running on the basis of blasting the sov system and starting anew... AGAIN?
As for "victories." It will be hard to come by to actually create victories for the SC. As I mentioned before, things will only get easy and one sided if the NC stops caring completely which I don't see happening. If NC spin doctors want to make this their win then so be it.. but I'm going to go ahead and facepalm over this game and hope once again a new development cycle in the next year or two brings better things.
So sov warfare doesn't work (game mechanics), POS warfare doesn't work (above post), regular fights doesn't work (node death). Why exactly are you there again?
e: Fuck, well not above post I guess, I meant Aurora's post.
The USTZ of the SC is extremely weak, in terms of numbers. Surprise surprise we aren't able to achieve much in that timezone. The towers that come out in Euro have a decent chance of a big fight and swapping hands. USTZ routinely runs ops and participates in handbag fights with the NC until their numbers inflate beyond our ability to engage, then we take a straw poll of whether or not to just DIAF or leave the system to swap out to something more maneuverable and run a smaller roam or kill straglers and tards in H-W. It's not rocket science.
PS. You all bitch too much.
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me
my SC friends I have some super secret news to share with you, I would go with usual channels but cant right now..
special report is as follows, FIO1-8 is coming out of reinforced, we have CTA'd your CTA so dont bother showing up as there will be black screen death and rage for you
this message will self destruct in 5... 4.... 3... 2.. 1.....
transfer my fee to the usual wallet
No one going into this war had any illusions it would be over quickly, the NC spin doctors attempt to put a time frame on the good guys progress to give their pubbies motivation that their efforts are not wasted.
Those players who aligned with the NC for the illusion of safety in numbers will continue to be the hunted in their own backyard.
bottomline, NC territories and pilots are under siege. Any battles won by the NC are just putting on more bandages to slow the bleeding of NC resources.
Endevas is very understandable if you've had at least four pints of bitter. Otherwise, you must resort to vodka or a couple of bowls then that special part of your mind needed to understand GarbleSpeak shall be opened wide.
Twinkey banned me once and I wasn't even an FC dammit!
I'm actually of the opinion that nobody in this war will win. If the SC actually pushes the NC out, that's the only real marker for an Eve victory apart from the NC booting the SC out of the South. If neither coalition pushes the other out then the game will continue to stagnate. Since we all know the NC can't do offensive campaigns, I guess the only victory for the game is if the SC pushes out the NC!
Also, people stating it was the smartest move by the NC to pay PL to go South is backwards. It's PL that was smart in waiting to separate the NC from some ISK to get paid to do something they would have done anyway.PL!
C
it's the song I hear in my head whenever I see quesa. I miss you sweet cheeks
How to make eve fun? Remove the standings tab and have sov warfare based on multiple objectives spread out all over a region that have to be hit at the same time. Say 5 things and whoever destroys or saves 3/5 wins the system with 1 reenforcement timer that has to be manualy set.
Also this renter shit is the dark ages of eve. Serfdom in this millenia, only ccp could pull that off
