question about the concord

[weiss]

i ask this cause i cant find anything in the web about changes torwards concords activities and protection on players even the ppls in the eve forums was surprised about it. noone was able to explain it tho, so try my luck here. back in the newer days of eve (around 2010~2012) was concord often in an instand on your site in 1.0~0.9 if you got attacked by players. in 0.8 and 0.7 took it concord a little bit to interfere which then increased with every lower security level like 0.6. 0.5 and so on.

the thing what happened to me today was really strange.
i was in a low sec in naguton (amarr empire 0.3) why i was there isnt important tho. the thing is. there was 4 ppls which ... i think tried to gank me but they wasnt able to destroy my maller fast enough (i think?). here comes the weird thing ... concord (2 battleships ...) jumped onto me ... in like 20 seconds and blown all 4 of them up O_O i was like .. .wait ... 0.3 ... concord? here? and that so fast? i mean i know that concord is still present in the low sec sectors ... but i never seen concord aiding a player SO FAST in a low sec. to be honest ... i never seen it before at all that concord comes and helps a player under 0.4 and again. not that fast.

was i lucky? whas that a bug? cause that weird warugan guy flamed me via mail telling me i cheated or so O_o and i wrote back to him "yea i totally did. ya know, i am secretly a game master and testing things and i get now fired cause i told you ... YEA I TOTALLY CHEATED!!! i am surprised on my own that concord came so calm down it was just a ship and your own fault to attack anyways ... so shush" and he wrote back "im gonna report you" and me was like "goodluck"

but yea ... the question is. how active is concord in this game now. did they changed something?
like i said, i cant find anything about it how active concord would be in low sec and if there got changes made etc. xwx

CONCORD reacts more slowly the lower the security status is but only between 1.0 and .5. They do not respond in Low sec (.4 to .1), have minimal presence (outside of being pirate mission enemies and maintaining communication beacons) in null sec, and no presence at all in wormholes.

Are you sure they were actually CONCORD npcs and not players in CONCORD ships? There are a growing number of the ships available.

it was, it was w amarr concords which are usually flying around on the gates (those big long ones) they was golden and white colored and the radar shown them aswell as blue symbol the lil narrow arrow symbol and they was labeled in the info as amarr customs general they stayed around me aswell while i responded to that warugan guy. it was definitly concord cause i got for all 4 which tried to gank me kill rights aswell.

thats why am asking if anything got changed concord activity wise. i mean they updating lately alot of stuff with the big update comming on 5th december tho. ... weird ._.

Amarr Customs ships are not the same thing as Concord, they fill some of the same roles but they are separate entities with different rules.

I find it unusual that they’d be in low sec but if you were on the Sayartchen gate, which is a .8 I believe, that might be why. Usually the only law enforcement present in low sec are the billboards and gate guns.
