Missions are a means to an end. Namely ISK generation, or to increase standings with a corp or faction for certain tax advantages. They aren't supposed to be primary content like in other MMO's. Missions are supposed to be a boring repettitive grind, so that you can stop doing them when you are able to support yourself, and do fun things with corp mates and friends. ( Whether it is market PvP, the cutthroat buisness of industry PvP, or shooting others is up to you.)

So no, I hope they never redo the mission system.

Please promise you will never ever design a game. What you have stated is probably one of the worst concepts for an activity within a game. Nothing should be designed to be intentionally unenjoyable, even when that activity is intended only as a means to another end.

The mission system can use an overhaul for sure. EVE doesn't really have any 'good' competition, per se, so the PVE content in this game is a joke and stays a joke - because why change it when your subscribers can do nothing abou it?

We've got STO - LMAO. What a F'in joke of game, period.

Battlestar Galactica Online - even less content (although I've never played it, it's from what I see/read out there).

Facebook game on the side bar. Yeah, no thanks.

SWTOR - Never played this one, but I follow the Mintchip vids when she posts stuff about it and though she's never really negative about it, 400,000 or so people didn't just up and quit for no F'in reason. WoW clone in space maybe?

Anyway:

I've got about 19mil SP's so I'm just going to play this guy out for now. Some fresh new solo mission content would be great in the near future.

Its about time CCP did somthing about missions and complexes, first off they need to fix drone payouts so they are in line with the loot drops other factions have.

as far as gameplay experience goes I would like to give the rats more abilities than just thier feeble attempts at electronic warfare.
-allow them to RR thier fellow teammates. with a designated logistics ship of course that would only support thier fellow rats.
-Give them a command ship of sorts, would be an on grid booster giving its teamates an extra edge.
-allow them to use drones (just fast mini frigates that spawn next to a rat droneboat)

Right now missions becomes boring after a couple of months. Some dynamics won't harm anyone. Something like random spawns with slightly more easy rats (currently some missions have borderline difficulty - in between "hard" and "popped").

PvE expansion could be nice. Though any hi-sec gameplay expansion could be nice - after 2 years of nothing.


^^That.^^

Just because something is a means to an end, doesn't mean it shouldn't be at least a little dynamic, fun, and engaging.

Missions as they are right now--exception: COSMOS, and the epic arcs, mainly because they're tougher and have a cool storyline--just put the "Grrrrrrr..." in "grind Ugh"

1) Make missions as close to a PvP encounter as is feasible: Advanced AI, less ships, but omni-tank/damage, with a (small, for the solo player) player like fleet composition. Ready to fight the "boss?" You have to point him, he does the same to you, and better fit neuts and a cap-injector. Oh, and make NPC E-War less gratingly stupid "all or nothing," too.

2) Make l4s hard again--it used to mean something when you could say, "Yeah, I can solo 'Enemies Abound, mission 5/5' fairly comfortably," but now...? Too easy. Way too easy. Angels Extravaganza bonus-room? You needed a mate or two, and that was that. Of course, one should be able to tear up an L-4 with that ISK 2.5Bn Pimp-Gu, but one should also, always be at very real risk of losing it to the rats, and must actually fly the ship to mitigate that risk.

Star Wars: the Old Republic may not be EVE. But I'll take the sound of dual blaster-pistols over "NURVV CLAOKING NAOW!!!11oneone!!" any day of the week.

Legit Question what do you think the timeline is for CCP to iterate on Missions and Complexes?

I would love it if they re did the entire mission system...

still keep it a solo able to do but make it more dynamic... and fun...

i know that you guys are working on pos's and moon goo stuff then redoing sov warfare...

but pretty pretty please after that focus on PVE missions on complexes?!?!?!

i would love you long time...


Sleeper or Sansha Incursion AI and I would be happy.

I don't think there is any way known to mankind that I could possibly agree with you more on these points.

PVE funds my PVP. I'd much rather be less bored while doing it. It'd be great if CCP overhauled anoms and any other PVE experience.

Oh wait I forgot it's edgy to be bored...
