EVE General Discussion

Not on GD, you're never done...

Toss me on the "PVE in eve is garbage" bandwagon. There is no reason it has to be so. Why mining isn't a minigame that increases yield depending on the players ability to play it is beyond me.

Because they didn't want a pointless silly minigame, and couldn't work out a non corny 'minigame' that wouldn't get equally tedious over time as just hitting F1.
I certainly can't work out a base structure for a 'minigame' or mechanism for mining other than what we have that doesn't come with equally large or even larger flaws than we already have.
The best solution I can see is the 'dropped mining drones and mini storage' like a baby PoS, that needs tending every few hours ideally, but you can do some other stuff in the mean time.

As for the missions, LoL @ Marlona, sorry but your first sentance in your linked article just sets the tone as self important.
Even if you do make a lot of good points about making missions less predictable. Simply needing an Omni tank because you don't know the enemies damage types as a given would be a huge change. Let alone trigger spawns vanishing so you can't blitz certain missions etc.
But along side that, needs to be care taken to not Nerf mission income.
Lvl 1 & 2 Missions need a substantial buff in income already. A newbie shouldn't have to grind 50 missions to afford a battle cruiser (& thats optimistic on how much they make). They should be able to do a few and have cash.
And requiring Omni tanking will cut lvl 4 Income, people complete them so fast currently by tanking for a specific faction, and knowing exactly the tank required so they can maximise DPS. Any change to that will cut income, and High already has the lowest income potential. Sure it has the lowest risk also so I'm not saying it needs 'more' income, but one does have to be aware that changes to make missions less predictable will both drop income and increase risk (assuming pay outs stay constant)

7 year veteran here who is having trouble with a level 2 mission using a destroyer. I think pve needs fixing too.

Drop some probes, they have done some of the things you suggested. The number of unknown combat plexes like desolate sites as gone up 5X

Bah you got me I skipped over the anom part and only read the section about L4s.

My bad I herp derped reading the full post.

I am just frustrated that there are multiple posts asking for and giving ideas for more dynamic and entertaining PvE content and to my knowledge none of them have been graced by a dev post to even say "hey, yah we are looking in to that" yet devs will go and post in goofy threads in OoPE about what the avatar above them is thinking.

Nope sorry its still mindless red plus alph dps popping.

Yea, and that's what I was replying to.

Like I said, i'm all for pve improvements, the OP wasn't asking for that. The OP essentially wants low/null style anoms in high sec, rather than just "balling up" and leaving high sec protection to get to content that already exists in game.

Dude, seriously, shut up, youve only glanced some concepts here, you dont understand half of what has been said here.


Its called forum, ppl can change their minds, at the beginig i was talking about increasing the difficulty of missions but then someone suggested something more interesting that my original point of view and he convinced me, Im an open minded person that only means to suggest a few things to improve his favourite game, if you wanna turn things around and manipulate words youre not being so original, meybe youre doing it because you want it or because you just are too busy raging about new ideas and spitting scum and pucking the typical topics that these forums are so flooded with, youre just a sofist, do yourself a favor and check this word on the dictionary, you might learn something today.


Im sad actually because im quite a hipocrit, i said the argue was over and here i am, but its just that you act like one of those 18 ear old spanish boys i deal with daily on non eglish communities, and sometimes i need to control myself much more than usual.

And here is the example of that behavior i mean xDDDDD


You dont need to try to be a clown to get attention, you could just try to use reason and word, not just over and over and over the same dog-eared argument.


Good night, boy.
