Yeah was roaming with TEXN and we went to pop a cane but a eve uni gang warped to the gate at that same moment, I was the only flashy red on gate so guess who euni went for first -.- Could have sniped some of their tackle ships if it wasnt for the fact that out of the 23 ships on my KM, 7 are EWAR boats. | ||

Playing on the test server to see if something works takes so much of the magic out of the game. I really don't see the appeal, even for testing expensive ships or fits. maybe people dont want to spend 1 hour soloing looking for a nice fight to test their fit just to discover the opponent has a falcon alt | ||

If you are having trouble with the jitters, guaranteed cheap free fights in the kinds of ships you'll usually be flying is what the test server is all about. You can get some experience at just operating your ship and doing the right things at the right times. I wasn't saying you should substitute it for real PVP in any way, Sard, just that. | ||

I too went roaming with TEXN/Ransm (at least for like 10 minutes before I realized I had to go to sleep) and somehow ended up with top damage on a mega kill, despite everyone else in the gang being massively more skilled than me, and having a few battleships in fleet as well. | ||

I have verifiable killboard data, but I don't need to flaunt it in front of everyone as if it is the only way to validate what I'm saying as reasonable. If you truly want to improve at PVP, doing more if it can only help. The test server is a fun and constructive way to do this without blowing through all your hard earned ISK. I've learned all kinds of things on the test server that I would have otherwise had to learn the hard way, and flying there is most of what taught me how to keep cool when a fight is going down and stay looking at the important parts of the screen instead of freaking out and missing something major. In summary, screw you too, guy. I'm just sharing what I learned. I'm not even sure if anyone knows whether or not you play this game yourself. Unlike you, Altaen flies around MH, and is known to the people that frequent this forum. Unlike you, he has left his name available to those who want to look him up and check his credentials. Unlike you, he doesn't have to back up the things he posts, because he's of a known quality to 9POOL and other entities in MH. It's not about flaunting data, its about showing that you're a reliable source of information, backed up by evidence of a killboard which hopefully is API verified. It means instead of just taking your posts at face value, which to me show that you've limited small gang and solo PvP experience, average understanding of mechanics and limited experience trying different fittings and tactics in the meat grinder of a real TQ environment. Supply your actual IG name and you might be able to dispel that impression. Otherwise you're Mumbleskates, a faceless troll on TL with no ties to the greater community, that is incapable of contributing to a thread topic beyond whatever bittervet musings fit your fancy at the time. | ||

I've been in VETO the last 2 + years and before that in a few other corps and have done everything you can do in EVE and it's still fun even if the 0.0 alliance blobs are crashing the game rofl. | ||

In summary, screw you too, guy. I'm just sharing what I learned. I'm not even sure if anyone knows whether or not you play this game yourself. I wasn't qqing. I was just telling him what he would likely expect when he logs on to the test server to look for pvp, not once in my post did I say the test server was bad idea to try stuff out. I simply said it was more blobby comparatively, which seems like a pretty neutral statement... Why do you take every little thing as an attack against you and try to make it look like you are the victim. I'm glad you agree about the beacons being bad and that organize something with your friends can be educational on the test server, which is the point I was trying to get across in my post. Good to hear you keep a cool head during one of your eve fights, now if you could just do that in this thread... Also it doesn't help your image that you've brushed off every level headed attempt that counters your advice as flawed by attacking the poster personally instead of providing evidence to the contrary that's not based on anecdotal evidence or very niche situations. Most recently the discussion regarding a thorax. Edit: Realized my sentence structure was horrible. Fixed! | ||

It'd be more hilarious if he has a worse efficiency than me with a KB full of Thorax losses. :p | ||

Most recently the discussion regarding a thorax. Nobody provided any fixed evidence, and the usage of Thorax in gangs is neither niche nor anecdotal. The fact that you constantly refer to every tactic other than nano kiting Drakes as weird and impractical doesn't help your own image either...except with those who think exactly like you. Which is everyone here, including the majority of those who bother to moderate this unfortunate little forum. Almost everyone here seems to wish that this were actually a private forum, and not a public one that other people can read and post on. Any outsider who does not praise your every action as if it were the most skilled and impressive thing they have ever seen is immediately and continuously ridiculed and dismissed as irrelevant and without knowledge, effectively ostracized almost before they lay down their first post. I only came here because I thought you might appreciate some fresh perspective. In exchange, I have been called a troll, a liar, a shitty PVPer, I've been dismissed as clueless, as a purveyor of useless niche knowledge, and my tactics as impossible and not worth bothering with. All this and more simply for advocating the consistently successful tactics applied everywhere by several of the most successful PVP groups in the entire game. So, obviously, I was wrong. You want to keep on doing your own little thing, with no particular concern for how good it actually is, whether it is a good and effective thing to do, or how hostile your little posse is towards anyone who wants to try something new. For instance, you can't be bothered to decide when you might be blobbed or not before engaging. You live in the region all the time, for heaven's sake. You should know by now who is who and what they tend to bring, and you should be able to have eyes and scouts to see local counts and d-scans off gates before you engage. The fact that you don't want to find out what you're up against doesn't mean you can't, or that it isn't easy, or that it won't save you reams of stupid, avoidable lossmails. You seem perfectly content with your current quality of engagement, and to be frank I'm fine with it too. The worse you do, the better everyone else, myself included, looks in comparison. The groups I have flown with have always endorsed various and creative play and never-before-seen fittings that have any chance of working out, as long as they don't result in stupid losses. Many of them have gotten us great kills that we never would have otherwise gotten, or prevented losses we would otherwise have suffered. I wish that everyone could play the game like this, but I suppose someone will always be gun-fodder with predictable tactics. Enjoy your game. I shan't be posting here much more, news which I'm sure many of you will gloat over for weeks to come. Inb4 martyrdom. Good forums don't have martyrs. User was temp banned for this post. | ||

Hey KwarK, I'm curious... when have you ever said "You can't fly stuff besides X"? Last I checked it was just "Don't bring crazy shit if I'm FC and we haven't worked it out". | ||
