My opinion is that I (unlike a lot of people in this thread it seems)

ACTUALLY ENJOY PLAYING THE GAME!

I don't play in the expectation that in 6 months something new is going to come and keep me interested.


I've been playing for 4 years and I still haven't experienced everything to be done in this game that's already in here.

As long as they don't break EVE, I am more than happy for CCP to do whatever they feel is best for the game. Whether large content increases or desperately needed balancing iterations or just code fixing.


The game is good. I play it and love it.

If you've never tried PvP in EvE it's quite possible you've missed out on one of the greatest rushes available in modern gaming.

Next expansion will be called "Excavation". CCP will promise to add vast amounts of mining-related content, but in the end all they will do is add the hacking minigame to mining.

Boulder dash style?

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

I very dearly hope that the next expansion includes a new playable race: The Genetically Modified Slaver Hound Capsuleer. With the technology available and the ability to swap one's mind around, there's really no reason why we can't do this.

I would pay serious money to have this capability. Let me be a Slaver Hound!


inb4 CCP's answer:

- Sorry, no can do. Genetically modified slaver hound chars are exclusive to CSM and Nullbear block members. Twisted

The mining minigame will require players to manually stack and sort every m3 of ore in their holds. Veldspar will have a nice square shape and will fit easily, but the more lucrative ores will have bizarre shapes that do not stack easily. This will be paired with WiS, so you'll have to get out of your cockpit and walk down to the ore bay and sort the ore as it comes into the bay. You can only sort 1 m3 of ore at a time, and every m3 of ore you can't click in time is ejected and lost forever.

Then buy it a few times more, that's the growth strategy at the moment.

Albeit economically speaking it is better to unsub and wait to get the sweet rebates they offer to people who didn't enjoy the game that much but would bear with it for a devaluated price tag. Paying 9 euros per month is fine with me, but would like to pay only 8.

The good thing about games like star citizen is that it'll put pressure on CCP to start delivering on its visions, or risk being left behind.

they add supernovas to the game, therefore SOV space needs to be on the move every 3 month, bringing war and chaos to nullsec and finally making the game interesting for everybody

first stagging point will be Deklein, a 30 day counter will start, after that everything in that system will be eaten up by Mr. Dark Void

after the supernova is over 1-3 weeks the region is ready to be SOVed again... in those 1-3 weeks only valkyrie stlye gameplay can happen in that region, real first person dogfight, the corp winning this will take SOV space after the supernova

I suggest goons should already start moving

To be honest I am not sure if it was even confirmed by CCP, but I was under the impression that details of the next expansion would be announced at Gamescom. With it approaching 7pm in Germany on the last day I doubt anything big would be announced this late.

Perhaps I missed something, but I am wondering if there was even supposed to be something at all with all posts saying there would be.

You shouldn't really compare EVE expansions directly to the exapnsions of other MMOs, which usually offer one expansion every 2-3 years. If you look at how much has changed in the last 2 years, I think that the total holds up pretty well against any other game expansion you care to name.

If all you want is a massive changelog, then sure I guess CCP could have held all the development work for Crucible, Inferno and Retribution back and released it all with the Odyssey changes this April. Do you think that would be a better release model? I'd far rather have 25% now, another 25% in 6 months, another 25% 6 months after that and the rest 6 months after that than have to wait 2 years for the whole lot at once just for the sake of an "epic" patchlist.


I am comparing those expansions to previous eve expansions like cold war, red moon rising and apocrypha. I am not saying those small expansions are bad, its just they don't really get me all that excited and are small. Together it is good. Maybe I have been spoiled on previous efforts like wormholes and salvaging being introduced. I am wondering though, that without incarna and CCP's other side projects, we would have had those expansions earlier and problems like pos's and supercapital proliferation dealt with now instead of later. I like the promise of incarna but not the application which was and still is terrible.

I am trying to look at things as an eve player, not a dust 514 and world of darkness fan.

Looks like it was just rumors/wishful thinking. And all in all, the CSM summit is just next week, so probably we won't have anything to chew on until mid september as earliest.

All they said beforehand about Gamescom was "a major announcement".

It was EVE: Valkyrie, disappointingly.

So, after 4 years focused on the brilliant Dust, the future is the focus on the development of a totally different game, another shooter.
How could anyone loving EVE not be happy to hear this? :)

Why don't we just make it like mining tetris?
