EVE General Discussion

So you say that Team Avatar doesn't exist anymore and that we should click your link to understand the full picture. However the link only shows what you were planning to do, and not why you shelved the plans or what is going to happen with them.

First, that to understand what is happening to walking on stations, developers, it's time to open officially the topic, to learn the players exactly what they want, and based on this, what to do first.
Secondly, I play this game for a long time, and has also long been waiting for the door to open it. In a recent video was shot a new hangar, so why not start with that, that would be for one of the doors was an exit to the new hangar, and that there was an opportunity to invite friends there. The main thing to start. And for those who do the idea of ​​walking on stations do not like it, so very few of them do not want to - even if not playing.
Third, I am waiting for a long time when it happens, but my patience and the patience of many players can burst if they do not get what you promise a long time ago. I think it's time to give walking the stations, because the ships and space begin to pall. Personally, I play this game in order to see that it took so long waiting. But the constant promises of kickbacks and especially annoying. If walking the stations will not be, it is a chance to throw the game, as there is nothing new there.

Just for the record, it's been made clear by CCP quite a few times that the release of Dust514 only really marks its 'beginning', and certainly not its 'completion' - they have years worth of plans for expanding its scope.

So, if anyone's hoping that there'll be a sudden 'availability' of Devs for WiS once Dust comes out, I'd personally recommend shelving that hope. Assuming it doesn't crash and burn, then they'll be at it for years.

Yes, I was referring to my character. My mistake, I had forgotten about the controversy pertaining to making general remarks like that.

Of course I should have expected someone to focus on it and totally bypass my main point which is still the same - It truly makes me sad to see this news after being offline for 4 months.

Anyway, I stand corrected and will rephrase my closing remark - I think I'll just bio-vat my character now.

It does illustrate, comprehensively, in this thread that the real question is:

Should CCP devote any resources to new content or fiddle with already existing features and mechanics to develop sideways.

For the upcoming expansion this has revolved around "pvp stagnation, bounties are borked = add bounty to char that logs off all time so bounty can never be claimed, and: we'll redesign by giving each ship a clearer role as part of the bigger *and definitely better* ship-of-the-line type definitions"

The new destroyers are welcome.
The new re-balances are welcome, but demanded.
The mining frigate adds involvement to the newbie experience or "reduced to an egg miner" - If a miner sells all ores/mins to buy a hulk which is suicide ganked almost instantly....
The bounty hunting system will be a whole new line, selling kill rights is a nice bit of inter-player gameplay and adds dimensions to the experience.

Dust-514 will tie in nicely after this expansion and THAT is not only record breaking content being added but all the orbital bombardment / contracts / ground battles / Dusters in local etc... will be BRAND NEW and awesome

There is more to this expansion - A CCP Eterne post in Fiction states that new fiction will be available for discussion "in two weeks".

Was CCP right to declare that a prototype partially developed and announced recently was shelved? in my opinion: not really - Too much stake is being offered to the forums. No offence to anyone but most players spend their time blowing up ships / rocks in game and judging by the number of posters tend to skim the forums.

Please go right ahead towards Doomheim [666] or at least stay in the like and get liked cesspits you know mods moved it for good reason.

Don't know what your problem is and quite honestly, I don't really care.
For some reason you seem hellbent on being antagonistic. Considering the fact that your character is only 2 years old and unknown to me, I see no reason for you to have this bitter attitude, let alone try to provoke rage especially since you're nowhere near being a vet.

If you continue trying to start some sort of forum flame war with me, I will use the report option.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out...oh wait.

You mean the stories and rich history of scamming and ganking 'carebears'?

Whether you accept it or not, you need them more than they need you. They won't miss being ganked, but you'll miss ganking them.

To compound my post above, imo we are being shoved too little content per year.

I mean, how many guys are actually required to modify a dozen of BPOs, to alter 100 or so database fields (containing the ships stats / slots) and similar? A whole team?

OK. Seems a bit excessive, but OK...




...But for SIX MONTHS? Dude where do I apply for this job?



Did CCP betray us again like they did for Emo Vamp MMO and put all the workforce onto developing DUST while we pay good money for OUR game? Because we were promised they would not, yet the math does not compute here.

And no, the inventory crud is irrelevant, nobody asked for it, it's a "under the hood" refactoring that should have not even been noticed by the players (we did notice, it sucked hard nuts for months...).


I understand the playerbase are meant to create content (and 0.0 is so stagnant we are getting trickles of sagas / drama etc).

But then, why do we pay a class A MMO monthly fee? For servers power and bugfixing?

It does not compute, sorry. GW2 are doing more, faster and for free.

Edit: since I got some in game nitpicking:

- "For free" does not mean they work for free but that players can get the content updates for free"
- I don't want to compare a large company with CCP, just the mindset and the business model. The former is updated, dynamic, progressive, the latter is a much smaller company yet more static and less ready to confront with the ever changing times.
