EVE General Discussion

people are whats wrong with corporations

one of the most frequent advices for new players is "finding a corp. might take a while" - thats sounds like most of the corps are full of sjit,no wonder people rather play in npc corp or alone

i think that founding a corporation shouldnt be that easy in the first place so you dont have a couple of friends and you feel like 5th wheel

and player corporations need stats -

how many players are in,
how many left during lifetime of a corp.,
average SP,
average SP of players in respective fields,
average online time of players,
NPC kills,pvp kills,incursion participation,
most frequent regions visited by players,

the most important factor tho,should be recruiting people and leaders of a corp. - if you created a corp and you want players in it be active,dont sit in your corp channel waiting,talk to newbies,go to newbie systems and ask people if they need help,buy them some cheap ammo...

9 of 10 people will tell you to fck off,but that one will be glad you asked and will join,even players who like to solo would rather solo in a player corp where they can chat with other and eventually join common activities

im totaly solo player,couple of years ago i have played very similar game to eve (content was the same,not so deep tho) called uncharted waters online - i did everything solo for like 3 months,then i joined a company (corporation) and it was a blast - then people stoped playing and i was left pretty much alone there,so i quit the game

what could have been if the leaders were more proactive?i would probably still play it - so if you are leader,take some responsibility,people will come,even those who are in npc/1man corps evading wardecs and taxes

Really? You know war decs didn't always exist right? EVE got along just fine without them, and could do so again.

Doesn't change the fact that wardec's are a needless game mechanic that creates more problems than they are worth....

i know why most ppl say goon is full of idiots. i just have to read ur posts

well, the first sensible post here :)

or... add scaling to the actual missions. more ppl goes, more enemy spawn, gives better rewards/player.
i remember back in the old times when i run missions in gall and matar, i have created my own corp, cos i was bored of group missions. well, we can do more of them, but grouping up didnt give any extra, actually it took from my income due to the more warp in warp out, dock to station so we had less time to shoot, while we had to share the same reward.
this way i had access to everything a corp can do, but i didnt have to share that basically poor income i had. make it worth to do missions in groups... and no, incursions are not a solution. they are not where ppl are, incursion cant be done by 2-3 casual player. make general missions scalable to the size of the fleet. bigger fleet better reward.

also mining. why to do mining op? then the miners capacity will pay the transporter, the booster, the defense fleet and everybody else's income. may get some bonus, but lose more on those who bring other equipment into the fleet, while if he goes alone, he can earn a standard, and with bringing a trial alt he can even solve the transporting issue. why to group up?
what is really wrong going to lowsec to mine? for that u have to group up, but then also, u will pay the income of those, who just camp the gate. the rocks may worth a bit more, but there is a huge loss on the unnecessary fleet-members. does that worth? no

dear CCP, i remember, back in the good times when i was able to grind solo in a bc my monthly plex, there was about 40-60k online players in peektime, well, i didnt pay too much in cash, but bought a huge amount of plexes, now it hardly scratch the 30 and never reach the 40k, dont even get close to it. listen to the highsecnerfer morongang, goonmeng, goongang, ahh, yes, this is, and you will lose even more, or stabilise the highsec and give a decent income with enjoyable gamestyle (and permaban that notorious noisy 10% who dont like it ) and you can get back your lost subscribers. the decision is in your hand

then ccp's analisys is worth a sh@t. player exit cos the solo part of the game is rubbish and the griefers easily destroy their simple sims they like to play. being casual solo player means you cant afford buying and losing pvpships due to the boring pve, which feel more of a job then a game, and too much skillbased, for a beginner simply not worth, industry. if you will destroy the last defense of these players, eve will die...

the only solution is: make highsec and npc corps as well payed as nullsec but dont give it into the hand of an other mittani. than casual players can afford pvpships, lowseccers will be happy though they will have more fight with rich highseccers and all will be happy

There's actually a reference about CCP, EvE and its gameplay.

Here's EvE box photo. There's written what the game is about and how you are free to play. The "Join the community" frame says: "...Conspire with thousands others to bring the galaxy to its knees or go it alone and share the glory with no one.

So, I don't see the issues presented in these endless whine threads: the game is meant to cater to the "thousands" and to the "loners".

It was called "incursions". It did not end well...

well, because they messed it up. thats a thing the cant code a software but they really lack in every ability of planning.

i've just posted it above: "and no, incursions are not a solution. they are not where ppl are, incursion cant be done by 2-3 casual player. make general missions scalable to the size of the fleet. bigger fleet better reward."

actually teammissions also can be a solution if they are available from any agent and can be done by 2-3 ppl. incursion need millions of sp in t2 bs t3 cruiser and t2 logis. not many hiseccer can do it



yes it did, at least for most of the players. there are many specialised on it, but they are minority of the highsec pilots

So that would mean that level 4 missions and mining are out of balance.
