EVE Information Portal

Have not actually tried anything out due to faulty internet, but upon seeing the renamed and reorganized skill tree through EVEMon, I was very pleasantly surprised. The skills appear to have been, in general, renamed very well. Having "CPU management," for example, is so much clearer :)

I still have some things to look at since loggin in today. But the skill tree thing is so freaking confusing now it took me a moment to realize what i was training for......

IF SOMEONE doesnt have half a brain for this game then they dont belong here. This means noobs that are stupid....that cant learn to play....that prefer theme park style games.....this is not a theme park style game and nor do i wish it to be.

I want my noobie players to be smart....i want them to be able to immerse themselves into the a game a little bit if not the stories i want them to be able to think for themselves.

PLEASE STOP with the stupid changes that are dumbing this game down.....I for one would be more than welcome to start ganking every noob player that comes into this game thinking its going to be easy. Its not.
Game mechanics and certain things need time to learn by experienced players teaching them or if the player is smart able to learn from mistakes. And if they cant....well i dont want them part of my group or corps that i am....and when thye cant be part of something cause they are stupid.....thats when you lose player base and get bad rep in other sites.

I dont play anything game for example like Rift/Star Trek Online/ WOW/ etc etc becasue they are pathetic. CCP quit trying to self destruct....if you wish to do that dont take us with you. Leave the stuff like names and skills alone.....let us Veterans pick and choose and train the players we wish to have along with us. All your doing now setting it up for noobies to be disdained into black hole corner somewhere getting shot at randomly till they quit.

If you want to work on something.....give us the ability to walk in stations....setting up shops or what not....integrate dust and eve better as a working universe....or give us the ability to start figuring out how to create/design our own custom ships or something.....something more useful than this load of crap you keep trying to feed us....ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ANOTHER JITA RIOT?

Plus they made having one better than two. go figure!

All right, so it appears not much change has been done with the gate jump animation.

But CCP please do consider the possibility of toning down the audio FX when jumping. It simply put is too damn loud in comparison to everything else. The volume level frustrates the rest of my household to no end and is of particular nuisance when traveling through multiple systems.

Please consider this feedback. IMHO I believe it to be fair, and like all other constructive discussion items in this thread, would warrant some kind of response.

Wow.... That actually made me a little bit angry. Beeing a "1337-Forum-Warrior" does not make your posting better.

Because I prefer playing the game instead of posting on the forums, my opinion is less important or less right than yours?
And posting a lot equals better posting?
And all those players who never post on the forums are terrible and have no idea of the game?



Comming back to topic, please get your stuff sorted CCP, making us discover half of the patchnotes by ourselves is bad, mkay?

And forcing links out of POSes it a very good first step in the right direction, just like the HAC balancing.
Also, Infomorph Synch is the best thing ever invented after Exotic Dancers

This was already posted in the Odyssey 1.1 scan probe changes topic, but since that was kind of a "pre-release" thread and this one is post-release, I'd like to link it here as well, in case there's a better chance someone at CCP will see it:

(Summary: move the "Recover Probes" button away from the "Scan" button, and remove the "Destroy Active Probes" button completely).

Whereas I realize there are numerous people changing aspects to the game at CCP, sometimes I wonder if they do not talk among themselves to keep a sense of flavor retained to the game.

CCP added the jump game animation to retain a sense of immersion jumping from system to system.

CCP changed the simple names of various industrial ships into more colorful descriptions.

CCP changed various modules, skills, and the skill tree from colorful, elaborately wordings with flavor into sterile descriptions to appease potentially (dumb) new players.

Or is CCP a bit bipolar?

I like the idea to bring more new players into eve. I don't like the fact that i can't help them now as i used to, because the skil names has changed. A friend of mine play german client, i english client, it screws me up to explain something about skills.

He ask me what ship i enjoy the most to fly and why, what he should skill. I answerd spare the ship T2 skills they don't be worth the effort to skill them anymore, stay at T1 they are cheap, they are fun and he can choose any race, the are now near all equal.

Thats the point. Don't balance the game to mishmash, we love the game cause there are choices and consequences. Where are the differences? Weapons, ships will be more equally - it will be easier for new players, but the most players, there play that game are older players like me. Overthink a few changes, listen a bit more to the community, but not too much.

You can still use your near-unprobable T3s or bring link ship to grid.

Launcher:
- not convenient at all for multiboxing, makes feel doing 2x operations as much as before
- regarding new player experience: in-game login with animations and such were VERY immersive and had a good feeling for a first encounter in the game. Now we just feel like logging to WoT or LoL until we actually arrive in space / hangar

Overview:
- The new tracking system is not convenient and very disturbing. I have a friend that I tried to teach EVE and he was totally lost until I made him disable this almost-hidden setting in the "selected item" options menu. BTW the option menu icon in 1920x1080 is almost as big as the overload rack icons.

Drones
- difficult to launch drones in space with the drag and drop since most of the time it rather activates the radial menu. I was forced to increase the delay. BTW having the "return drones" in a submenu is not a good idea IMHO
