EVE General Discussion

Two major EvE devs gone in a month's time, to Riot games.

Major changes to the point of nerfing a distinct play style that was particularly "dark and harsh" in a game that is supposed to be particularly "dark and harsh."

"Former" EA employees filling up the ranks.

When will the customers who have kept this game afloat, and attracted new players, via the events they created (i.e. Burn Jita, 6VDT, so on and so on), be given an idea where the game is heading?

Ever?

Or will we just continue to get spin on the level of The Mittani spinning the Fountain War? You do remember The Mittani, right? One of your players?

Or did you simply forget that EVE Online exists, because literally all you have done for the game is switch lines of codes for close to 4 expansions now, without adding any really meaningful content?

It is bad when even CSM members (our voice) are questioning things like the TOS changes, and are not getting proper responses...just more spin.

I think it is time for a press release, giving a state of affairs, or at least some sort of reassurance that the game we are playing is not headed into the shitter. That would be great..............for a change.

No rant intended, there is nothing but truth and the seeking of truth in my OP. I just want to see if CCP has the backbone to actually answer legitimate player concerns, not just of mine, but looking at the associated threads for each of these topics....about 75% of the player population.

I think this needs to be a bit more like les mis.

"Do you hear the pilots sing? Singing the song of discontent? It is the music of the neckbeards who won't pay your bucks again! When the next expansion comes with level of content = none, it is an expansion that has been quite poorly done."

Exactly. I am not even asking for the internal business strategy. I would just like to know if the game I spend hours, nay, years playing is going to remain true to it's "ideas," or whether or not we are just going to get more endless spin. I was a new character during Incarna-gate...but now I actually understand the reasons players revolted. It is ridiculous.

There are not enough scoundrels to make much of an impact in shooting the monument.

We're an unruly lot, so it would never work, but the best thing would be to not play for 2 weeks. All the bad guys, gankers, scammers, and everyone else otherwise known as "content creators" just not play. Let Eve be Eve with PvE content. Even the carebears would stop rejoicing after a few days when they realized how unbelieveably bad the PvE content is without at least the threat of someone peeing in their cheerios. It won't happen, because we'd stab each other in the back by logging on and plucking all the ripe fruit for ourselves, because we're bad guys. But its a thought.

Obligatory "EVE IS DYING" reply.

It is none of your business how they run their business first off. Last I checked CCP is a private company. And if you were actually IN the business you might have a better idea of what is going on.

So many lifelong subordinates knowing what is best for a company.

Wrong. It is completely our business as we are what drives their company and their product is something we all enjoy.

Your reply is basically, "Pah, you uneducated plebe! Join their business so you can be in the know! I DISDAIN THE WORKING CLASS!" - the image is even better if you're sitting in a chair sipping Cognac.

Thank you, someone with reason for a change.

Zulu is leaving for Riot as well.
