EVE General Discussion

+1

There are plenty mysteries in the EVE universe, you've just got to go looking.

I would like to see more story arc woven into the game, too. There's a lot of potential here for good writers to explore, imo, and subsequent missions and game mechanics.

Hey! Which one of you asshats took my sandwich out of the corp fridge?

…have people figured out the sleepers yet? I lost track of the lore-sleuthing thread.

to be fair wormhole space has not been 100% explored yet

The devs have basically said "you haven't found anything, sorry no hints"

Makes sense

Also if the races are at war ie amar and minmitar. For five jumps around were the engagement is taking place all players of the same race as the two fighting become lit as active targets for the other race. Concord law is suspended. But only within the five jump limit. If they get out concord rules apply, and the aggressor gets poped.

You need sentience for that?

My room mates and I had a long discussion about the lack of randomness, surprises, things to discover in EvE.
For anything truly exciting to happen, truly interesting...CCP would have to take a risk.


Imagine a true Sansha raid on empire space....wormhole opens...100's of wrecks outside Jita...followed by a revenge story arc that all players could get involved in.

Imagine a wormhole leaking sleepers into a system secretly, so they appeared in missions or belts...until someone scanned the WH down and dealt with it.

Imagine rare npc spawns that started strange story lines...or lead to a rare unique ship.

Imagine a system suddenly going "dead" all services stopped...station agents missing, planets all destroyed, or turned into magma type...burnt clean....and it's up to capsuleers to discover the reason why, yet again with unique rewards and a great storyline to discover.

Imagine a CCP covert ops raid (rping as pirates) in 0.0...2 valuable BPOs are stolen, and are sold back into the general player base...or held for ransom.

Imagine a Jove invasion of 0.0...if the Jove forces win, they take over the system, and behave like a player corp...guarding gates, warp bubbles, seeking out and player warping into their system etc.

Imagine actual "realistic" space anomalies. Black hole systems that contain the opportunity for great profit due to the debris and wreckage...but the players shield/armor etc are being drained constantly...and it would require a team to go in and try to salvage....or a pulsar system...where every few moments you lose lock/take ship damage/are jammed....but yet again the rewards are higher.

Imagine anything new or exciting happening in EvE, that didn't revolve around licking 0.0 mega alliance boots, catering to the carebear, or fixing the massive amount or useless ships/modules (the one thing which is actually important).

EvE is stuck in the mud of it's own established player base; if it doesn't pander to 0.0 isk making/endless ship exploding, or high secs carebear safety concerns...it really doesn't matter. As long as the player base is small and feverishly dedicated, CCP won't bother doing anything other than catering to it's immediate demands to keep them subscribed.

It's nice to sit and talk about the possibilities of a exciting EvE universe...the one CCP loves to try and sell you in their trailers, but I really doubt it will ever convey the sense of adventure and excitement you are hoping for.

Suddenly BOB.
