EVE General Discussion

Dude, do you run around the forums posting this same post in every thread?

Also, yes, it kinda does. It's called Customer Feedback. And without things like the Summer of Rage, we would indeed be playing Space-Barbie, paying $1000 for vanity items, and buying gold ammo from the NEX.

blah blah it's different when I do it blah.

You specifically named things CCP did, the specifically suggested that CCP could have taken those resources and did things you would like. That's no different at all from me saying something CCP did could have been different. And no one said anything about not touching the game, all I've ever said is that CCP needs to be smart about changes and reexamine their thinking from time to time, because lately they've done some falling short (example here).

You've said in the past English isn't your native tongue, so I'll give you a small benefit of the doubt here because you may not understand exactly how what you are saying comes across. But only a small one, because if you don't know what you are saying in a given language, it's usually best to STFU until you learn it better.

This is the sort of racist treatment always comes. I will leave for other language communities and no longer post here.

Wait...you started this here. Now you LEAVE? By the way, the language thing is "cultural" not "racial". Maybe a better handle on the language you're arguing in is in order.

Yeah, like tf2, quake and counter strike.

World of Darkness, and Dust514 have came and gone. No reason to be ashamed at attempting, and failing at doing great things.

Good job, CCP Games.

Ground breaking graphics, new gimmicks in gameplay, big name with a now huge loyal playerbase and a fresh title every year will make up for a tiny fraction of people who complain about DRM or some companies customer service.

Most people just want to play a game, but most of all they want to know what to expect when they throw AAA cash at a game. There is comfort in familiarity.

Ok now for a serious reply:

Here is the thing, from a pure business standpoint, (minus buying White Wolf, i am not touching that) WoD and Dust 514 were both GOOD things.

CCP has a single product, EVE, sure it was slowly growing, but for how long? A Company that stakes all its claims on a single product, is a company that is doomed to die. Focusing on eve, fully, would of been a VERY foolish decision form a business perceptive. If you are a Video Game company you can not focus on a single product.

WoD suffered, as has been said, form poaching people over its 8 years of development to do stuff in eve (i heard of WoD being done in the 2007 fan fest, and it was dead in 2014, they were already a year into working on it by then). any progress made was put on hold to work on eve, then relooked at and redone cause momentum was loss. CCP missed a huge oppertunity, becuase there flagship, eve, needed to stay alive. CCP should of dumped WoD earilyer, but meh.

Dust 514, for all the nay sayers, is profitable, and there for a success. However, CCP again missed an opertunity, and Dust was suppose to be out 18 months before it was released. CCP dropped the ball, but made money of fit anyway. edit: Being on console from a business perpective is again brillant. tap into that market and get new blood. But ccp bungled this some, and here we are.

Gunjack seems ot be selling well. And Valk will make a ton of money, as if you have actually played it, you will see why.

This discussion is pointless. And CCP focusing on new Eden and on pc now is a good thing. As i said, staying just 'we are an eve company' is a recipe for death of your business. hind sight is always 20/20, but we have no idea what the workings of the company were fully. For the all 'it needs more pissh' stories we only get parts of the picture. The mmo market was going to delcine eventually, the writing was on the wall, so ccp has to expand or risk going under. And even when they focused on eve, and made some mismanaged decisions (ignoring old issues for incarina, cq sucking, greed is good, and monical gate [all together thats what hurt them, not just one but all]) they very nearly did go under. The current plan of focusing on the New Eden brand, and the eve ip is brillant imo.

now there is no point debating, whats done is done, we are still in a repair and rebuild phase, and i still believe eve will be stronger in 2017 as we come out of it.

Yes. Valve knows how to make FPS games.

^ this......




So i Can perv from that moon over there.
