God damnit... I typically only collected the corpses of poeple I personally killed, and now you're removing the personal connection between that corpse and myself.... That's just not right!!!!

Mystified, why would they have removed corpse names?!



I am guessing each corpse would need to be a unique item and there would be one item generated per toon for each player. this results in a massive amount of database clutter.

Still Collecting corpses is fun so i would say sacrificing some performance to bring back a well loved game mechanic would be worth it

Put names back on corpses, many other people besides myself like to collect peoples corpse's/trade.

simple fix
put the names back on the corpse when you click show info.

Yes please. Names on corpses are very important to my corpse collection. This change really sucks and I want it reversed.

If that was the reason why didn't they remove names on ships, cans and all the other random crap that can have a name? This was an intentional nerf to murder and I do not approve.

This is gross... I don't know what you guys do with the corpses behind closed doors.

Perhaps this thread should be renamed "bring back named necrophilia" lmao :P

Personally, I pose them around a table and have tea parties. I also sometimes like to cuddle with them in my pod. It gets very lonely in space and I need something to hug.

Supported.

Although im sure CCP did this for a reason. I imagine it was some kind of code/performance issue. If they can find a way to bring them back without interfering with whatever they had to change it for in the first place then all the better.

I was about to open a new thread but the Search engine came up with this one, and it's actual enough.

Was it ever discussed by CCP? Do we know why on Earth they turned precious corpses into worthless items? I don't think that corpse names should be too stressing for the system, seeing as ships get named and renamed by thousands every day without CCP doing anything about it.

I only discovered this yesterday, after taking the body of a clumsy moron that never stops babbling in Local...only to find out I can't link him HIS corpse.

Also, my collection of corpses in Jita is now worth zero. Some of them were acquired after good fights and there were anecdotes related to many of them.

ALL THOSE MOMENTS WILL BE LOST, LIKE TEARS IN RAIN, FFS CCP!

Now I just have a hangar full of nameless corpses. This isn't the holocaust. They must be remembered for who they were [while I touch them] for their family's sake!

Could you imagine what the famous Guiding Hand Social Club heist would have been without a named corpse to tell the tale?

Did CCP realize that AMAZING player-driven storytelling has been completely annihilated by this?

No more paying/getting money for hits with the named corpse as the proof. KMs aren't the same as delivering THE BODY!

No more corpse collecting to remember your epic battles.

No more stories like that Capsuleer Space Graveyard.

No more knowing you have the real, ultimate proof of your ENEMY's demise on your cargo/station after a good, dirty fight.

No more trading of named corpses. There was a real market for this, with famous capsuleers being worth more than commoners.

At the very least, I would like to hear a convincing explanation from CCP. I don't doubt it's justified (although CCP does fix what is not broken, occasionally), but so far I haven't heard or read WHY.

This just made EvE a little bit less interesting and a little bit more bland.

I would like to mention how HAPPY I am, now that corpses retain (again) the name of the soul formerly dwelling inside.

Not only that: the nameless corpses have regained their original identities.

Hooray for stored, labelled and now IDENTIFIED virtual corpses.

I too would like to see corpse names again. It would be really nice if you release a reason for these changes at least.

From my research it appears this change was made (whether intentionally or not, I am not aware) in Crucible patch 1.1.

Fixed a minor data issue which now makes Corpses searchable via Contract Search.


The fact that CCP has not revealed any information on the reason for this change, or whether it was a mistake or not, is what bothers me. They've seen the threads regarding it, because there have been two threads that a CCP employee posted in. Yet no information has been given as to why the change happened.

This is a big issue for me. This small change has destroyed my style of gameplay. Please CCP acknowledge whether this was a mistake, or deliberately done, and please consider bringing corpse names back into contracts, and the API.

Still supported.

I propose that the Corpses should have the name of the person killed as part of the item name, so that collectors can more easily sort their collection of corpses without taking ages to comb through a container full of items named "Corpse."

Supported. Who would have thought there would be such support for trading frozen corpses on the market?

Still no reply from CCP. What gives? This is what pisses people off. It's not the fact you made the change so much as it is that you quite blatantly ignore everyone that's asked whether it was intentional, and if so why. You can take the time to moderate the threads involved, but you can't take time to answer the question.

If it was intentional, please answer us, and tell us why, so that we can stop wondering if this is something that's dead or something that's going to come back Soon(tm). If it wasn't intentional, please tell us it wasn't, and that you will fix it at some point, but it's on the backburner right now due to other more important issues.

It's really that simple.
