Re: A Quick Update about SWTOR Server Transfers

Jaggins — Sun, 03 Jun 2012 13:14:34 -0000

This "update" motivated me to cancel my subscription. There was no useful information, and it is too late- my server has died. We have no PVP, no heroics, no HM runs or at level FP. Promising a vague fix at some indefinite future point is not acceptable.

Re: Population Estimates for the Top 20 US Servers

It really is that bad. My guild went from having 20 something players logged in prime time to 1 or two. It is impossible to find a PUG Hardmode, and leveling alts in empty zones means no heroics or random interesting player interactions. It makes me so sad to see such a fun game mismanaged so badly. They should have consolidated servers 6 weeks before 1.2.

Gage lost his frontal lobes, which serve more like brakes for deep brain impulses. Rather than being unable to apply emotion to his behaviors, he was unable to resist impulses, which can arise in response to emotions such as anger or lust.

(Great article, just thought the neuroscience should be clarified.)

I unsubbed both accounts, but since I pay by the year, I have plenty of time to get sucked back in if CCP returns to sanity. I have enjoyed your writing, best of luck!

(Do you have a Raptr or Steam account to keep in touch?)

Re: We Spend Some Time With 'Shadow Cities' And Think It Has Some Promise

The key to this game is friending other players. You can then teleport to their beacons. We routinely "raid" downtown Seattle with 10-20 players battling it out. Having real players running around downtown to access the enemy for surprise attacks takes this game to the next level.

In TEST, we are only reimbursed on approved ops, with approved fits. This has led to the success of the Drake army, and later Alpha Fleet. An advantage of requiring certain fits is it helps get fleet comps balanced for optimal efficacy, while allowing the space-rich to fly whatever they please.

Re: CCP chooses excellence

Jaggins — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 15:29:37 -0000

My long term dream is that CCP implements physics that account for line of fire, so that fleet position and movement become critical for large scale battles.

Being able to duck behind a Titan when your Falcon gets targeted would be awesome. Plus some weapons like missiles would be able to fly around, anyway. This would bring truly epic battles, plus there would be a limit to the blob as you would need line of sight to actually hit your target!

Re: Can't buy me love.

Jaggins — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 22:47:57 -0000

Certainly, no one wants their game ruined. I know some F2P MMOs have been ridiculous in the need to engage in RMT. In EVE, the RMT is really there for specialized circumstances. It certainly doesn't seem necessary, but it could enable someone with cash to spare to lose more ships in PVP without having to rat or use a trade alt.

Re: Can't buy me love.

Jaggins — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 22:45:46 -0000

My point is that I would personally rather directly add SP to my main than buy someone else's toon that might have problematic history, etc. In truth, I am not really in the market for buying accounts or supers anyway! I peaked at a few Billion and then got bored working the market...

Re: See ya, Capsuleer

Jaggins — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 17:28:21 -0000

CCP needs to provide a shared revenue license to allow the API community to really run with the system for 3rd party apps that CCP created.

Capsuleer is certainly replaceable, but 3 rd party apps should be able to charge for their service.

Jaggins — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 16:02:08 -0000

Remember to consider the source! I love reading Kugu, but the entertainment is largely ironic or farcical.

Re: Null sec overdrive

Jaggins — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 10:46:49 -0000

Thanks, I would love to get this implemented in a region to test the hypothesis! I am putting out a few feelers, but it would entail a big shift to the way things are done in most of 0.0 right now.

Re: Survey: EVE with kids

Jaggins — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 23:52:42 -0000

I think you are better off playing Wizards 101, Faunasphere, or Free Realms together. EVE is very adult, and the griefer culture is full of jerks who could be problematic to expose to a young child.

Going for a moderated experience is a good idea with youngsters.

Best of luck! Enjoyed your EVE writing.

Do you have a static high sec and static c4? That is a nice combo if so!

Good luck with the real life Dominion!

I use DotLan, especially since the new IGB came out.

My pleasure!

Re: Exploration Proteus

Jaggins — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:04:33 -0000

I hope you can do a followup post to let us know how this works out. I am about to grab Gallente cruiser 5, so it would be nice to get your input on using the Proteus.

Re: Industrial exploitation

Jaggins — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 14:07:08 -0000

You could give them a true Industrialist response and pay mercenaries to hassle the pirate for a few weeks! That would possibly backfire though as anonymity is your friend as a lowsec smuggler...

Re: In Search of My Serenity

Jaggins — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 00:27:27 -0000

I agree that the Dominix, Myrmidon and Vexor are superb all purpose exploration ships if you have good drone skills. You have room for a codebreaker, hacker, salvagers and tractor beams in the highs with a good armor tank. The main problem is you will be gimped for PVP if you load the mids with cap rechargers to keep cap stable. You could fight a bit, but you would likely get killed!

Re: Dominion: What I want to see

Jaggins — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 02:14:17 -0000

I want to see Null sec populated by empowered industrialists who love a bit of pew!

Awesome Rettic! Thanks so much for making the badges. Got it installed on my blog with no problem.

Re: Just a Quickie

Jaggins — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 17:03:24 -0000

I check market stuff, industry stuff, and chat with corp or channels I frequent. I will also use a short session to buy and fit a ship for specialized needs. Short logistical trips are a nice way to utilize a brief play session.
