I love PvP and incursions because of the group.


Your letting the isd help wright the lore now why not get them a tool set for making missions and then letting them make missions for CCP to approve and add the rewards to.

I'm just looking for a way to get more group missions into the game in a quicker manor.

Why do you need content that tells you to group?

Content should be challenging, but not inherently restrict the number of people doing it.

I'd love to see some new content that would improve the PvE in EVE, but that doesn't mean it needs to be, or even has to be, designed explicitly around a minimum number of players.


We do live in a day when developers can make content "react" to the players. IE: 5 guys appear in an area, NPC's spawn accordingly.

No reason to develop "group content" specifically. Content made for a single person can be made in such a way that 5 people can also enjoy it together.

O yea the rewards need to be very little actual ISK and more in some type of items.

Form fleet, invite peeps, do whatever you want.

Whole Eve is a group activity imho.

Don't be scared, because being afk is not a crime.

While I agree with the fact that missions need more variety(that is what you wrote,right?), Eve has always been about more and merrier.

Here's a go at this one:

Rats should no longer 'split bounty', we've had enough faucets removed and plenty of sinks added that this shouldn't be an issue to bring into EVE.


however:

Anoms/missions scale with the ship types in them. So if you have Caps they scale higher almost 1/1 where each spawn would nearly double the amount used earlier. Of course there would be a cap where you wouldn't end with a rediculous number of rats on the field. However if you are with some friends in, T1 cruisers, the mission / anom might add an additional 20-30% more each wave/room.BS's/Tech 3, something to the extent of 50-70% more bad dudes.

So instead of penalizing groups, we encourage them by making difficulty higher and a reason to group up.

Dual Pane idea: Click!

well, in theory i agree. But in practice you can observe what happened to level 5 missions. If you can't solo them or multibox rep its already considered as a bug in the AI threads. The anoms are probably not different. Incursions solved that quite nicely, however i really dislike the "lets farm it till the last minute and finish the mothership if time allows" mentality of them - but the basic concept is quite cool IMO.

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value
