hello,

Id like to know what devs are going to do...NOW!

I re-activated, iam sick of mass pvp and like to enjoy hte other part of eve for a while - that is what I was going to plan.

But something I really do not do is staring hours and hours at silent minig ships.


- You have invented new animatied turret.
- also miners have been revamped (saw a video)

You want to tell me that this is all?

WHERE are all the different sounds for different weapons/miners??


So, as I would like to enjoy and experience the mining FEATURES in/with FULL ASPECTS in all possible ways, its important for me to know what is going to happen - FAST!

We have hard times, and I only have license for 1 months...so HURRY, I have nothing to give away.


THIS was always a nice atmospheric experience: mining sounds and the "sprackling" asteroids - never accept to do silent minings without.

What are you actually wanting? The devs to be at your beck and call? Cos it isn't going to happen. May as well just let the sub expire and leave if that's the only reason you re-activated your account.

Mining is in a 'bad' place right now in that it's boring as hell, bots are all over the place and did I mention it's boring as hell? Oh and it's one of the least profitable things to do with your game time due to the bots, unless your in null sec I guess, but then it's logistics of getting it to a market (assuming your not just mining to make caps/super caps for the corp/alliance.

well,

YES, I would like to know, if this is ALL or do tehy have an eye on it and recognize, that the universe is silence enough to be entertaining??

At least, at Fanfest 2011 lots of devs used phrases like "...trying to make universe more entertaining, etc..or ..let the players do the things and actions themselves...." How? With silence? lol-

If they cannot offer good solutions, mabe they can give a straight answer??

I dont think I have to ask somebody to express points and dislikes - but

reducing content and cutting out aspects like those atmospheric elements has nothing to do with developement-progress; if the content and first of all the feeling that can be experienced at any activity is decreased.


Too hard to understand?


But I agree in someway:

Somehthing has to change at the minig activity - it is one of the most entertaining events for newbies and lots of corps growed up when starting with a few people togehter -


If the minig activity could be enhanced with more local infrastructure to anchor at any place, like the cargo containers, etc....or:

-bigger containers
- fast mobile "refineries"
- or cind of an enhanced contruction chain: some players mne, others just transport etc....


would be great because mining togheter is a central aspect and " hot PLAYER spot", too

i have an odd feeling that the devs just dont give a crap about miners.

So you came back to EVE to post into the Forums that you will not stay unless your Mining Lasers make "bzzzzz" within the next month?

Last time I mined, which arguably was awhile (at least a month) the miners made a sound basically at the beginning/end of the cycle. I actually found this useful as it let you know when a cycle was complete so you didnt reallyhave to watch all that closely.

"OLD" way (pre-incarna/new turrets) --> continual "buzzzzzzzzzzzzz" for the cycle
Current way --> "buzz" at beginning of cycle (then silence)
NEW way (winter expansion?) --> "BUZZZ" at the beginning/end, then "hum" in the middle.

also, EVE has sound?

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

Are you sure about this?

Well I could deal with a "humm" in the middle.....but the spracking, smashing bubblelin asteroids MUST be permament.

Players who dotn like can easily zoo m out to reduce both.

I hope the HUM is as great and loud, so other ships can be recognised fast-.


I would be very dissatisfied, if there were no mining sounds in teh future - and i really realy HOPE (!!) that every mining laser has

a) its own color
b) its own animation
c) its own sound

...to measure the (sorry ladies) virtual "mining-penis" a little bit more exactly, hoa hoa ...maybe this explaination is easier to understand to set correct priorities a bit :)

nah just a joke , but mining as an elementary aspect of the game where lots of players can meet and have a good time together simply should be more entertaining than staring at silent stars and ships thw whole time....

On the test server the mining laser sounds have changed. Instead of the loud grinding sound at the mid way point and end of a cycle there is a contant *wooosh wooosh* laser sound. It was actually rather nice. Not as loud and obnoxious as the old sound before incarna but constant for those that missed that.

The thing I liked about incarna mining is that you could go semi AFK and you would know when the cycle had ended so you could empty your haul. I don't think that is possible anymore (didn't notice any change at the end of the cycle). But I could be wrong. I didn't mine for that long.

seriously, even I'm a little put off by this guy's attitude ... maybe he's a botter?

I miss the old pre-Incarna strip miner & mining drones laser sounds and the crackling asteroid sounds as well. It has not been made clear by CCP why they were removed. Someone did state a while back on a forum post that CCP had stated it was an accident/bug and the old sounds would be reinstated but I have not seen evidence to back that up.

I haven't done so but it may be worth you doing a petition to CCP to ask what is happening and whether the old mining laser sound effects will be reintroduced.

The breaking up rock sound is still there ... but limited to the normal mining lasers... or at least I don't bother trying to listen for it with the strip miners.

but yes, they did accidentally the sounds with Incarna.

You seem to be under the impression that the devs give a rats ass about mining.
