People seem bored with the constant CTAs. The sanctum nerf, even though it should hurt DRF way more than NC, has really shot morale. It's enough that the EVE nullsec universe is against NC, the Deklein Co is a questionable ally, but then having God in the form of CCP single 0.0 citizens out for a big nerf just added to a vague sense of doom.<br /><br />The more practical hope that I see is:<br />1) The people moving and quitting from the nerf will settle down and quit bumming us out as we watch old friends leave.<br />2) DRF gains will convince them they can do it alone and not renew the PL contract.<br />3) People claim RMT is the WORST threat to EVE life and will realize that they have sold their souls to the devil by giving DRF control over more of nullsec. Bots are winning out over actively playing carebears...oh the hypocrisy!<br />4) Life goes on. As a member of AAA citizens during the failscade, there was a few months of disruption but game life returned to normal. There were just different names and colors splashed across the map.mordis mydaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07917167436312438744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10989652.post-81433686125978134462011-04-22T00:16:19.942-04:002011-04-22T00:16:19.942-04:00Weirdly, there's a feel of... and I know of no...Weirdly, there's a feel of... and I know of no other way to put this... BOREDOM associated with this war. Recapture that tech moon AGAIN? Kill some MORE SBUs? Yet ANOTHER PL fleet? Really?<br /><br />Even when the NC wins, there's a definite feeling of "Yeah, whatever, dude" associated with it. And when the NC loses, that feeling is doubled.<br /><br />What this means in the long term, I couldn't say.Jesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06362457304801165584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10989652.post-24768522638907113462011-04-21T17:11:24.191-04:002011-04-21T17:11:24.191-04:00Even if you don't like coalitions, the NC is p...Even if you don't like coalitions, the NC is preferable to the russians. They already hold more space than NC+DC, and most of it is completely dead except for macros.<br /><br />On the subject of war fatigue, there's a rumor that PL were hired because the DRF offensive was just about exhausted.

Sustained aggression is difficult if not impossible to maintain. Eventually people stop logging in and numbers continue to drop, it is amazing how quickly that can happen, even to the most dedicated alliance. <br /><br />I don't feel as strongly about it these days, but I still feel like Eve would be a better universe without the NC in it. Sorry, but you know how I feel.<br /><br />Still, I don't wish trouble on anyone specifically and hope whatever happens you find your way.Rixx Javixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484974346562922694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10989652.post-15513437412384288192011-04-21T15:45:45.959-04:002011-04-21T15:45:45.959-04:00The thing that really has me worried is our failur...The thing that really has me worried is our failure to field capitals. A year ago we could get a full capital fleet with a CTA, and now we're hardly using them at all. <br /><br />The weight of supers against us is ridiculous; that we can't compete with the DRF in russian time is hardly surprising, but with them adding raiden, and with their EU/US contingent backing up PL, we seem to be blocked out in every time zone. Practically every non-NC super pilot in the game is against us, and we're outnumbered.<br /><br />The good news is that we aren't like IT or atlas; nobody has fail cascaded. But we are losing ground, and at some point we're going to need to turn that around.<br /><br />I would tend to suspect that the DC will come in on the side of the NC if it really comes down to it; I believe mittens has stated that if really necessary, they would choose NC over DRF. Doubt if they would actually attack the drone regions, but maybe as a defensive force. I think they've brought a few fleets already.<br /><br />Some additional reasons to hope:<br /><br />-Sanctum nerf and renter exodus decreases DRF super production.<br />-SC nerf and dread buff will level the playing field. When it happens.<br />-CCP might actually take action against macros someday.Parasojahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10037396025518894441noreply@blogger.com
