EVE General Discussion

Ok, after having watched about 1/3 of the video before stopping it I noticed something unsual

There are two guys in the video

There is a tray with six glasses and a container filled with water that looks like it goes in a pneumatic transport system (like at a bank for the drive through, put money in container, put in tube and its sucked to the other end)

But there are two Dasani bottles, one on the table and the other on a filing cabinet with another one of those pneumatic transport tube water jus

CCP Soundwave was having a drinking contest (on the clock, no alcohol), a pissing match in the restroom at 10 paces incase of a tie breaker, and he lost so has to do an interview

Either that theory or there was planning for defense of possible alien invasion in EVE but they are covering it up with the interview while the rest of the people who were at the table had left but Soundwave got ambushed before he could exit the room. Actually, that makes more sense

But back on topic - Don't like it, fed up with EVE, just not having fun anymore. Just leave, cancel sub, and walk away. Don't need a drama post, don't need to theorize about it, just Stop payment -> Go, perhaps say good bye to aquaintances and find something else in life. That is kind of where I am at, been waiting to long for some spark to reignite and continue my interest in EVE while spending more time on the forums trolling then in game and if these expansion doesn't cut it....like Porky Pig's "Th-th-th-that's all folks!" cause there ins't anything to keep me in EVE and no WoW isn't the destination

A grain of truth amidst all the whining and complaining.

What did you expect? Think back to Sim City. After you've built this fantastic city with all your time and hard work.........the very next thing you did was send godzilla or a meteor shower or some other diasaster to your little world. And watch it burn. Then build it back. EVE is CCP's Sim City. Why should they want it to be easy and passive? They want to toss in a few grenades and watch us scramble around trying to survive. They wouldn't have it any other way.....unless we won't pay for it, hehe.

You make a very good point... and yes I remember those days :)

I'm pretty sure Soundwave doesn't have any issues with a particular play style. I certainly don't because I've probably spent as much time building things as I have destroying them. v0v

Eh I dont see it as an exclusive high sec nerf...

None of this sounds particularly bad or dire. The economy is out of control. High sec needs to be shaken up. I can live with bounty cuts and tax increases, and I don't see much else here. There are drone missions in high sec, too, so I don't understand why OP does not think that will in fact balance out. High end minerals also come from wormholes, which are relatively safe places to play, if you know what you're doing or you have a good corp to teach you.

The other changes CCP has announced regarding high sec security are in fact encouraging to players who want a safer environment for their play. If that comes with a cost, so be it. Safety should cost more. Rewards to high sec should be lowered if risk in high sec is also being lowered.

Who cares? On my two other accounts, I already planned on moving into a WH soon, so **** the high-sec nerf. And with this one, well, I'll find something to do. Probably find a dozen or two new players, roam around in null-sec with them, kill stuff...

You high-seccers just go ahead and have fun whining over a high-sec nerf. I'll be sitting here in the corner. Killing stuff. For fun. Ignoring you... The usual.

This. Until then, I'll continue to mirror the cliche of the crazy old guy sitting on his porch with a shotgun all day long because the bank keeps on coming by trying to buy his land, that he doesn't want to sell, because they want to build a stripmall, but he doesn't give an eff because it's where his pappy grew up and died and his pappy before him and his pappy too and it's where he'll live and die too.

CCP won't do anything to endanger their hisec dwellers. They might prod them and touch them in some places, but they won't risk alienate the people not willing to go into lowsec, WH or nullsec.

Aside from suicide ganks which are more commonly going for miners or +2bil fits and can-baiting, pushing people averse to PVP into PVP will not work. They are settled in their own ways and most of them would look for something else where they could do similar activities.

Despite all their high and mighty attitude, CCP is still a company trying to make money. So, withing limits, the more people joining the game and having a decent start-up experience, thus sticking with the game, the better.

Thus, we need to take into account that quite a lot of people are in "protected" space. Which means, discounting the PVP-ers, that they may be at least equal to the people in lowsec and nullsec, where supposedly the risk is a constant. After that, we need to take into account that most MMO players are "carebears" which like to bash NPCs.

Therefore, CCP will have limited maneuver space to modifying game-play in hisec.
