EVE General Discussion

The "unified inventory". It must be destroyed, and the old inventory returned.

People who want to turn EVE into an instant-action PvP arena with a chat lobby.

Damn. That's a lot for the 2 words you used in that first post - "power projection". lol

Interesting look at another perspective. I've been seeing a lot of other things that influence it but if you think your views are "somewhat" controversial, you should see some of my discussions and getting folks to open their eyes to it all...

I also have gotten some feedback on things, which helps a bit with understanding differences in perception.

Example: I'm against gate and station camps due their impeding travel in the game. "Wait them out" is not why someone logs into a game, etc. Old story.

My idea was to enable travel but make operations in an area more risky - eliminate the "can make an impassable gate camp" (group > individual. individuals travel, camps are groups so camps can and will beat soloists if they are into putting forth the effort. More travel = stronger camps to stop it/get the kills -- little travel possible. Again, old logic - easy to understand).

A counter was from someone else. He doesn't mind camps but when he gets to an area he wants complete safety while operating there.

The 2 points boil down to some basics:

HE likes focus. Focus on this - then focus on the other task -- travel being first, running things being next.
HE has a batch of alts - if he bumps into something impassable, he'll just use an alt until it's gone.
HE has a lot more time to play EVE -- if he bumps into an impassable situation, he can also simply make the 10-20 jumps to try and find another path or, again, just play an alt.

*I* like diversity - Risks are fine. I've been playing MMO's for the better part of 2 decades and know the difference between "risky" activities and Russian roulette with a lugar.
*I* don't mind multi-tasking while doing anything in the game so watching out for inbound and such - not a big deal to me.
*I* don't have alts - if I hit an impassable camp, I either wait it out or find something else to do - if it's a station camp, probably log off and go play something else.
*I* have sporadic times in which I can play - as such, when I log on to play a game, I want to play it, not wait for others to finish.

The 2 different views on how to play are based upon resource availability (alts + time to play) along with multi-tasking vs single focus.

An interesting dichotomy - both showing valid views, both also being radically different in acceptable environments to operate in and I have found pretty close to equal numbers for both sides -- more newer types inclined towards my view but the longer people play, the more towards his view I find: Less acceptance of generalize risks vs specific points with much higher risks.

I figured I'd bring this up so you can keep in mind the fact that different people will see things(validly) in ways that may not fit your view & modeling approach.

Just something to keep and mind/consider while preparing details and presenting info.

Jumpdrives, jumpbridges and all those things that makes life in 0.0 safer and more easy then a life in high sec.

Human nature, want everything without giving up something.

Come now, the forums are not bad, just this general discussion one we found do without.

Goons.

cause we all hate them right?

The lack of lag :[

Local chan (as others mentioned)

I got out of wormholes a week ago to join FW and... local is totaly moronic/ idiotic imo. Still trying to swallow it and adopt, cause i wanna fight in my faction's army, but the stupidity of Local's existense has proved too much of a challenge to handle so far. I won't give up yet! I'll push my efforts to the limits of tollerance! Amarr victor! ***deep breaths***
