EVE General Discussion

Yea, I was pretty disappointed as well. Don't get me wrong, I am actually going to get a PS3 to play Dust, but that's not why I was watching Fanfest. I watch Fanfest for Eve, and there was so little of Eve in it that it almost wasn't worth watching.

I am happy with what they're going to add in Odyssey, and lots of these changes have been a long time coming... But, it's not a proper expansion.

Also, what's with them making a VR game, that works real time multiplayer?! Why the hell wasn't that time spent on Eve? Or on WiS stuff? The game looked good, but I was frankly insulted that they thought it would be good to tease us with another avenue of Eve that we will never see, at the expense of areas of Eve we've been asking for since well before Incarna. Ever extra project they started talking about was like a slap in the face. Comics, two books, a TV series! What about a better PC game FFS?

I watched almost every minute of fanfest because I am a junky, and although I will look forward to the expansion because the changes look good, I will still be annoyed at them. I rarely get annoyed at CCP. I wasn't even pissed when Incarna came out because I was running it on a top end machine. Now though, I am a little pissed.

Let me put it this way:

If they weren't allowed to spend some time on their own personal projects on the side then you'd probably have an EVE Online that would be quite crappier. There is a reason for why the biggest mainstream companies regardless of field allow their employees this kind of freedom. That reason is called "creativity" and for those with a proper brain know that creativity can be very lucrative and is the very thing that advances whatever field said creativity falls under. In short it's a win-win situation.

As for the comic book/tv series, I also approve of this cause I think that the stories from EVE is equal to a treasure trove. Dwarf Fortress is another game where I honestly think you could make an awesome series if done correctly.

Quoted for truth. No matter how awesome or interesting an idea is, you don't force someone to spend years working at it without giving their creative juices some outlet to pursue different paths occassionally. How about let's force you to do *insert activity* in EVE, and nothing but that for 10 years. I mean, you say your primary interest is *activity*, so you should be damn well happy to work on it and nothing else for years on end right? I'm assuming you hold to that same philosophy when dealing with your real life jobs as well?

For all the smug about the average EVE player being better than your average theme park MMO player, the whiny entitlement sure remains annoyingly familiar.

The list is good. But for some folks only new stuff qualifies. Because hey, it's an expansion, right?

It's easier for Blizzard to sell a crapload of pets, mounts, daily quests and a couple of half finished refurbished dungeons as the next expansion and charge 5 months worth of subscriptions for it, just because it's "new" stuff. Millions of players cannot be wrong. Can they?

But ofc you're called a TOOL here, if you think CCP is doing something right .

Retail Stereotyping
Customer View --> The Customer is always RIGHT
Retailer View --> The customer is mostly always STUPID



Sorry to burst your bubble, but
you are NOT a special precious unique little snowflake

yes that right, lie down on the floor
kick your arms and legs
go 'WAAAAAAAAAGH!!'


your opinion is irrelevant, get used to the thought

don't like it ?? there are other games to play, please go play them
take your mardy petulant whining elsewhere

worst fanfest ever and that for 10 years eve ? lol

i watched most via streams and my impression was hourlong speeches about unimportant stuff like minigames (honestly) tons of non ccp dudes trying to sell us their stuff, gettin us into funding weird **** like elevators and dust.... dust crap everywhere

i never was into shooters and never will be so i dont give a flying fart about dust, but alas this was eve fanfest and not dust fanfest

what did we get in fact ?

- a new stargate jump animation (ya for sure that gave me a nerd boner)
- preset formations for probes (long begged for this minor improvement)

thats all you give us for our 10 year birthday fanfest ? honestly ?

and PROMISES, yeah a lot of them were given, like we work on stuff thats cool but we cant tell you about, stargate construction but we cant tell you about, we, ccp, make plans now for years to come but we cant tell you about... cmon really ? at our 10th birthday fanfest ?

all in all very disappointing, definitley not the way to go ccp

and just to remember: we watch what you do and not what you say, and you really did not much

Remember Incarna. And as an update met in the Jita. Now, tell me again about the fact that the CCP do not care the opinions of their players. This is not a blizzard that could give a s*** about their players, because they still have the same 8kk fanboys.

Because you quoted me

im all up for some mobile interactivity with the game. about time we have it already.
