Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hi everybody,

A lot of people including me want a little better PVE so we can enjoy more our beloved game EVE.

My suggestion is for level 4.5 security missions.

This will improve the experience of older players in here who simply do sometimes level 4s and new players will simply can t wait to have such an experience.

So what is a level 4.5 security mission?

A level 4.5 security mission is a unique mission with backround story that it will be given after you do some level 4 missions for a corp or faction like republic fleet ,soe, etc.

Those missions will be able to be entered only from one ship (to prevent multiboxing etc and you ll see why later ) and the missioner will be asked before accepting it . The missioner if he doesn t finish it or die won t be able to dock leave or do stuff like that since the pirates will block with some area technology any warping leaving etc.Something like a trap which you either are good and pass or lose your ship.

Those missions are only for players who believe in their ship's,skills and theirselves.

The difficulty of those missions is much higher than level 4s since except the army of pirates you ll face, at the end a random pvp ship fit boss will appear to protect their unique technology and secrets.This boss will come from a random databate built by players and CCP.For example you might face a 300k ehp tech 3 ship ,an ultrafast high dps nightmare or even a typhoon fleet issue that will do 2k dps etc....

I was thinking even for the boss to use something unique and really rare to beat you that if you win him it will drop .If not that then those missions would really pay very very very well since you might lose your ship and you have been warned before you accept it.

This will be nothing similar to boring unchallenging current missions .This will be a PVE content that everyone will want to enter but also afraid a little cause of the boss they will face and the high risking of losing their ships.

If we want this to be more exciting maybe the final boss will be a real random player with its own ship.Everyone will do the mission for it s reasons.

I think you haven't read my whole post please read it well how randomness will work and how alts won t be able farm those missions.

A random boss (which this boss might be a random player and you won t know what to deal etc )with different damage type hit points dps etc won t increase diffuculty?So it s the same to face a marauder a tengu a nightmare etc?Thank you for posting .

We have these, they are called epic arcs.

Why all people in here don t want to adapt new things that will improve PVE and you think we liked wow or we want to make eve wow?I played wow for 10 mins I play eve for one year+ so you are totally wrong.

My paly with my 2 off grid boosters (you know the way you use links) sits at 1000dps (64km optimal) and 1500dps lowest tank to 4k highest tank. This is way overtanked (normaly run less tank but you said it would be "hard" so I added hardeners.) cap stable (again not normally but I was told "hard")


or I do the same but get more dps with a shield tank with an em hole of 3k dps as a tank 4.7k dps omni. again cap stable without the need for cap boosters. dps at 1080.

boths fits don't have drones yet add those on top.


edit: just released I wasn't using good implants for slots 1-6 throw in a hg crystal set and just smile. (or mid grade if your a cheap-o with high sec mission ships and pods) and if these "missions" be truly that hard a blue pill just for safety's sake.

That's just about my position on the matter as well.

Even if they wasted an entire expansion's worth of dev time on more PvE content, it would be mathhammered out in a few days, a week at most. And then it's up on EVE Survival, and is totally trivial to farm just like EVERY other piece of PvE content in the game.

Shooting red crosses will never be anything more than shooting red crosses. Not without computing power that can't be dedicated to the NPCs' AI without screwing server performance.

Agree my friend but read my post .At last lines i say the boss to be a real random player which he will already have subsribed for the level 4.5 .So in that way you might face anything and will be not a.i but real players.

You won t be able to have link assists or anything else except your ship in the current area.And for this to happen you will be transfered to a location in different unlocatable system or simply the techonlogy of pirates prevets anything from entering their area but you managed to enter somehow.ONLY YOU!

still 1800em dps tank on the shield one. 2700dps omni. before crystals and blue pill.[/quote]

Ok what if you meet someone with same or better stats?Read my last lines and my post carefully my friend.I suggested to be more competitive maybe the boss would be a random real player who subscribed for the level 4.5 but want to sabaotage you and be awarded from the pirates .

It would perma tank almost any single ship in the game. It would be a race to see who can neut who first if the other guy has neuts. The marauder is cap stable with a better tank than any sub cap can dish out. if the other guy has no neut and is in a simular set up its a stalemate until downtime.



edit: trying to fix the quotes, failed it stays as is
