EVE General Discussion

Love the new changes for the winter expansion. I resubbed as it was $5 and I really like the new direction for eve.

But my main beef is still unchanged.

There is a lack of fun, interesting, accessible, meaningful content.

--1.There is a lack if things to do in a short play period. Short being 1-2 hours a night.
------ a. Incursions take a long time to travel to and then join a forming fleet and it is almost time to log of.
------ b. PvP roams are great but often include many jumps and if you start you play period right when it’s forming up great….if not you often have ½ -1h of pay time left and simply log because the op will take longer
------- c. Missions, sanctums are mindless isk done to reach a goal or pay for pvp…they are boring and the though of that being the highlight of logging on makes me want to stab my eyes out
-------d. Mining is ….well mining
------- e. WH also take a decent amount of form up time past class 4.
So I’m left with solo PvP and while fun is feast or famine in terms of availability and is done more to kill time than anything else.

--2. No new content that really affects what I can do in the game.
--3. Sov warfare is boring! Yay we fleet up they run away or we stand down. Been blue balled in fleets so often I’m glad I’ve already had kids. If we do fight it’s a pos bash or a lag fest.


So what is a player who plays between 8:00 to 10:00 local time mon-fri to do? What is to excite me about EvE any longer and want to work towards something? What is fun and exciting to log on and participate in EvE that is available on a consistent basis?
EvE is simply not as accessible as it needs to be. I think 90% of EvE players currently play WoT on the side for this very reason. Posts show EvE is not growing, and EvE will not grow unless it provides fun meaning full content that is accessible to players who don’t schedule there life around a game.

So for these reasons I go sit by at the PC turn on EvE only to really lack any desire to play so log and go do something else.
EvE really needs more.

So i sit here subscribed and with eve installed and I’m looking to play for 1h.....and i have 0 motivation to log on.

Is anything planned for this? Would really help out eve a lot if more accessible content was present. these could include
Dynamic missions using sleeper AI
Dynamic group missions that scale based on your fleet. Fleeting is more fun that soloing a level 4.(incursions take to long to get to)
Faction warfare for quick accessible pvp...that may eventually mean something.

I'm sure there are others but believe give us something to do that is fun and meaningful that can be achieved within a shorter play period.

Thanks

Then you would be wrong.

Yes I spent a lot of time in Empire but i have done a lot in 0.0.


Small scale roams where fun, but in between ratting for isk was even worse than missions.
Large fleet forms up and we bridge to get close to the action and all this takes time. I then have to leave and get to look forward to 18 jumps solo through null sec when i log back on...In my baddon..
or more often we form up our fleet and the other fleet stands down..or we stand down....yay what fun.

Spent more time in 0.0 than empire...these issues still apply.

As for being ADHD...what impact would that have on how long I can play? It must be my undiagnosed ADHD and not work, wife, kids, or life that keep me from playing 6 hours or more a day.

I don't mind if something takes a long time...But let me work on it in increments.
let me have fun when I play not jumping around(not saying travel needs to be faster, space just needs more intresting local things)

Off topic posts removed. Please stay on topic.

They don't even need to be solo, but really small group focused with short time commitments.

They would and should pay less, but still be available.

didnt read but all you really needed was to copy and paste your title loloolololololllololollllllllllllllllllllllllolololol

+1 OP

I would love to see things like:

* Arena Combat
* Group Missions that have Challenge.
* Ramping up current content like NPC's using Incursions tactics w/o the stats, RR, Bombers, MWD's and such.

A bit more causal stuff for the Winter would be Awesome.

lots of options and would really like to hear what is planned.

Like expanding on Expedition Complexes. Sort of like a repeatable chain of Complexes at varying difficulty with advanced AI Enemies with each chain having several different places it could decide to send you each with random challenges based on the Theme.

Like for instance you pick one up and:

It sends you to one of 10 Complex three systems away. Once there you get one of ten different intractable surroundings with one of ten enemy packages. Then it sends you to the next one.

Each one has say a low chance of a Faction Spawn with a guaranteed Overseer Spawns closer to the end.

Meant to be done in Fast Frigates or Cruisers based on the Level with difficulty and reward scaling up. The Higher you go you have to intersect with Low or NPC Null Sec.

< Wants Arena gameplay in Hubs

It does seam like you need to play another game to play eve
