EVE General Discussion

to hell with caps. caps are not the end game, pvp is. if i ran the show, id limit each Alliance to maybe like...3 titans. caps should not be able to scratch subcap fleets. they should cost a shitload to maintain, and they should not be able to move much. originally they were supposed to act as mobile bases, not gangbang pwnmobiles. i hope CCP sees the light and reverts to this philosophy.

my 2 cents. i hope your caps get nerfed to the ground

Now give him the benefit of the doubt.

It's quite possible that he purchased a degree in game theory and design from an online university, and therefore knows exactly what he is talking about.

(I'll expect my payment via the usual means, thank you.)

I used to agree with that view but i got to say that as i'm aproaching 9 years of playing this game, and have practically every skill i want to train to lvl 5 done(almost 140 skills), or well trained(150+ skills to lvl 4), and the sight of hitting 200 million skill points isn't that far away anymore, having the best implants and plenty of isk....Heck all 4 titan skills are maxed out, that end game feels a lot closer these days.



I'm not interested in research or production skills, or trading or anything that doesn't involve flying a ship inn the first place, wich i can do all 4 races equally well, so i'm as nerf proof as possible in that respect, and don't take this as me boasting as it's just a matter of time and patience and persistance for everyone to reach this point.....Most quit well before hitting this mark.


And yes over those years, i've tried everything from mining, to pvp, to pve and being in three 0.0 aliances, and it all becomes the same over that period, fighting and dieing repeatedly for the same systems over and over, even if under a different aliance banner, friends that become enemies and enemies that are now corp/aliance mates, so it's become pretty stale for long running players that have been here since the game was basically released in 2003(not that far from the decade mark, so time flies).


I don't see eve's backstory getting developed at all, know nothing more about the jove than we did in 2003 or opening the eve gate and see what's on the other side of it, and even releasing the rest of the T2 ships and faction ships for all ship classes(dreads, carriers, super carriers and even titans), or the extremely long road to releasing more T3 ships, wich we only have cruisers for the last 2 years, and at this rate the odds are that i'll probably kick the bucket before we see all T3 ship classes in game anyhow.



I fully realise that CCP's focus is on the new players, and atracting more of them to ensure the game's overall survival here in financial terms, but forgetting content for the older crowd that have been with this game so long isn't right either, even though i fully realise that releasing even more powerfull ships that take years of training and only affects a very small portion of the eve player base(unfortunately since many have already left), doesn't make financial sense for CCP given the work involved, but it still would something i'd be happy to undertake that challenge(heck beyond rank 16 skills, bring it), but it will still **** off the newer players stating it increases the skill gap between veterans and newer players....An argument i've been hearing since 2004 btw when i only had 11 million sp in those days.


Getting bored CCP, do something about it please...

This is the only poast that offends me. Look at my killboard. I have 100s of pvp kills, hardly any big losses, and not a single kill in a super cap.

Use orish bow... and stealth

i have a sexy tall scandinavian manservant, come at me

WOW, you can tell this guy is a vet, he has s***posting trained to level five.

I only have it to lvl 4 but ill be training that next, Currently training Forum W*oring to lvl 4.

3/10 -- mostly for effort. rambly and unfocused,. Mentioning your own wealth and power screams insecurity, people like to be trolled by secure confident folks you know... and 'eve is dying" again? really? I suggest a re-write, I think you can do better ;

Would be true that new professions like the ones you mentioned would be pretty cool to add variety to the game, but what about in terms of skill training objectives?...There has to be something there to keep the char evolving skill training wise?


The reason i mentioned faction and T2 capitals, is mostly because at least for the faction variety they're already in the storyline of at least 5 factions,....Salvador sarpati of the serpentis has his own titan, and it doesn't look like an erebus, and if you look at the eve chronicals, we see a picture of a caldari titan that looks nothing like a leviathan, or when the khanid seperated from the amarr empire, they took 2 titans with them and they don't look like avatar titans in the least...There's only a partial picture but they look like giant sized dramiels, so way better looking than the flying mushroom..:P


Then there's the sansha with the incursions and the revenent supercarrier.....Do you really believe the other factions would stand idly by and not try to develop their own versions to balance out forces overall between all factions, even if using the existing super carrier hulls as a basis for their designs?....Or how about the mothership type vessel the jove deployed when the amarr attacked them and they got wiped out.


So the examples for at least faction versions of capital ships are there, as they're either in game or in the eve chronicles themselves...That's some of the examples of the lost potential within the eve storyline, not being taken advantage off at all so far....

posting in a EVE is dieing thread. Grats you spent RL money on a ingame pixel. Maybe you wouldn't be so angry and bitter if you donated or helped someone in need.
