CCP, soon I will have played EVE for 6 years. This is all your fault.

I have been playing EVE for almost 6 years now (just 3 months to go until that anniversary).

It has been 3 years since there was something new to do in a spaceship. More than half my EVE "life" has been since the Apocrypha expansion was released.

I'm not going to rehash the ~mistakes were made~ period of Dominion - Incarna. I am most definitely not going to complain that CCP has committed a year's worth of development effort - desperately needed, long overdue, hugely welcome - on what has essentially been a massive polishing and detail-work project. It was unquestionably the right thing to do, and I'm glad they did it.

The new battlecruisers are fantastic - I love all of them. The tiercide project is revolutionising T1 frigates, which is so obviously a good thing I can hardly think of it without tears coming to my eyes - and I'm totally looking forward to seeing what happens when the project is extended to the T1 cruiser range. You've made EVE beautiful with the new nebulae and with the V3 project. You've even pretty much "fixed lag", for God's sake! How awesome is that? That stuff is all brilliant and I love it. I have even learned to get along with the new inventory thingamujig, after some practice.


But three years, guys.

For my 6th EVE birthday present, what I'd really really like is for you to tell me that there are going to be new things to do coming to EVE. You've been doing a fantastic job of improving EVE; now I want to see you expanding it.

September 24th, 22:34, 2012: I'll be online, logged in, starry-eyed and hopeful.





Love,

Malc.

Technically, this is a begging thread, not a whinethread. Doubtless the fine gentlemen of ISD will lock it as such any moment now.

New things such as?

Revamped ship stats make them new ships, new destroyers will be added, Tier 3 BCs weren't so long ago, modular poses are planned etc...

TBH, there is still so much to change*cough*sov-mechanics*cough* I'm a little scared of CCP adding entirely new things on top of that - they may release some crap like incursions again - doing some half assed wow-raid pve where they don't even have the ressources to make new skins for the new NPCs and add ludicrous rewards to it so farmers jump on it and ccp can call it a success because many people are doing them for the money.

Ineffective Bounty Hunting system since 2003 anyone? Blink

(Maybe not a new feature in the strictest sense)

Bounty hunting as a viable career in EVE would actually be a "new thing to do", because it has never been a viable career in EVE.

New types of space. Avatar gameplay. New things to do in space (eg: bounty hunting, spacewhales, mining that's not comatose-inducingly dull, ring mining, PvE that's not wrist-slashingly predictable, DUST would have been a fine example if it was incorporated into EVE)

I agree completely, but I think they're on the roadmap to it.

Half the time you quoted they were WiS focussed, and working on CARBON, so it's really only been 6-9months of spaceships content so far.

The focus at the moment is iterations, and I'm sure niche gameplay will come from that even before they look at a next Apocrypha style development.

9 years and counting, not that many for this toon mind you. Create your own content. Man up in 6 years you should know how.Twisted

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Honestly, I think the ship rebalancing alone will accomplish this.

Ideally, it's going to go from "what's the best ship in this class" to "what do I feel like flying today".

Yeah - read one of you suggestions on a new spece-type I really liked, but current mechanics need tons of work and I'd rather hope for CCP to fix these than just adding new ones.

I hated pre-dominion sov warfare with a passion, but with dominion, they made it a lot worse. I'd love to live in nullsec again, but under current mechanics, I just can't take it. They should fix existing space before adding new one.

A quick shot at ring/comet/ mining or tech alchemy would improve the current situation a lot though.
