EVE Online Dev Tracker

(2019) Hilmar calls out warp core stabs as one of the worst concepts in EVE, agreeing that they ruin lowsec PVP. Will they get the Drifter nerf treatment next?

To be fair, he's been getting fed BS intel for years.

One of the funniest looks of shock I've seen from him was a few years back at a Fanfest speech (long after the 'Summer of Rage', as I recall), and he asked the room if they should 'open the door'... There was a resounding 'yes', with maybe a dozen 'noes'. The look on that face was priceless. Clearly his intel had told him to expect the opposite.

(Personally, when it comes to WiS, I hold Torvi to blame for a lot of it - but CCP in general, for their hubris in thinking they could actually pull it off with their new tech, instead of settling for something lesser.)

Your "blame" is entirely misplaced.

Also, "blaming" people does nothing but form a culture where thinking outside the box never happens and progress is heavily stunted.

Accountability is everything and learning from mistakes is key, but blaming people and chastising them for trying something new is a decent way to kill a project.

I asked Hillmar about cynos in response to this on Twitter

Edit: Hillmar liked my post asking him to delete cynos!

I'd love it if there was a spool up timer on jump drives so that it took longer to drop on people. 15-30 seconds would be good.

Oh also, no more supers in lowsec... and only covert cynos.

If people want to field regular caps in lowsec, make them use gates to move them around.

This is why I'm not a Game Designer ;)

Please don't hurt my heart like this

I have lots more bad suggestions of how I'd like to see EVE.

I'll let you rest for now though! ;)
