Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I do like the Novel idea of WiS, But there is still ALOT to add to Eve and fix in Eve. With projects like the Little things and other Fixes suddenly being implemented I would hate to curtail that mindset going on. CCP is making great headway with this game. Before something as a Social feature gets added to the game with little to no effect on the overall game. I would love to see Industry fleshed out more first. PVE/PVP have T2 and Faction variants fleshed out nicely ( except missiles.. we need a damn pirate missile faction) I want to see some Faction and T2 variants of existing Industry ships. We have Barges and haulers, I would love to see some pirate variations of the Orca and Venture or T2 variants of them. We have the BC and the T2 version command ships, time to get a T2 Industrial command ship -Rorqual doesn't count-.

PVE needs a major overhaul from missioning to Mining. Missions alone need some major TLC, and Mining needs to be redone to remove the AFK ability. More Dangerous Rat's or something. You want increased Social aspects to the game, get the game more tied in. Make Industry corps more reliant on Combat Pilots, and Pilots more reliant on Indy corps to keep them shipped up. The Industry changes to Null are great, but more needs to be done.

PVP needs some more love also. Faction warfare needs to be made more important into the game and pushed more to bridge PVE into PVP. Sov is a nightmare but thats a giant animal to tackle correctly. Structure Grinding needs some decent changes to it and infrastructure shifted to more costly. Null needs to get slightly more Dependent on players to hold space. So much of Null is held and not even used. Getting new mechanics into the game that require player use of the systems to maintain them would make it more difficult to hold hundreds of systems, but open the possibilities to new blocks coming in and holding sov adding to more content in null.

Brain in the box also needs to become a reality to get this game enjoyable and out of 10% tidi all the time in moderate engagements. Only after I see these start to occur would I get behind WiS to be fleshed out.

I want to take drugs in my quarters. We have drugs, they are an accepted part of the game and lore. We have quarters.

Injecting opiates/whatever space stuff, and the screen getting blurry and warm.

Snorting/eating/injecting some crazy futuristic space psychedelic, and fractals spam across your screen.

And so on.

I want in station gambling and minigames with other players. An in station market/bazaar, and bars.

I want pets.

I want to be able to walk on the deck of my ship with an interface and run missions from it.

I want wild orgies in jita 4-4's station common grounds.

I want the ability to interact with other characters, skills for bar fighting, using firearms, hacking, and so on, to attack them or defend myself on station.

I want missions for corps on stations, using my body. I'm an immortal god of immense skill that dwarfs normal people in comparison.

I want more T3 ships. Entirely unrelated but I'll cram this in as many discussions as I can because T3 frigs, BCs, BSes, destros, and indy ships would be awesome. T2 capitals as well please.

I want to be able to bring friends to my captains quarters and hang out playing minigames with them.

I want to be able to manufacture things on stations that can't be done normally, to create resources for new items/structures, creating a new market, new skillset, and more reason to be on stations.

Walking in stations may have been seen as a negative, but only because you can't do anything with it now. It is even a bigger insult to leave it be and do nothing with it when so much could be done to make it interesting.

I scratch my head and wonder... why do people want to add so many unnecessary things to Eve? I mean, all these and other reasons for this thread are not stupid, but... why? Pretty much all this stuff can already be done anyway, just flip over to that other game and do it with your friends. Drugs orgies, sound like real life issues to me, well at least until virtual sex becomes truly interactive... pets, gambling, minigames - all these options exist in other games. Consider it a third party app, like EFT and EveMon.

Let CCP focus on important stuff like fixing and adding content to what made you want to play Eve in the first place... you know, spaceships? If anyone quits the game because they cant walk around the station then... I guess they weren't really playing in the first place.

Just like fixing sov and pos's...

All I can say is get over it.

EVE was billed as a MMORPG, with it's world a major selling point. At some point they will have to pay some attention to that. I know several people that were interested, started to play, and quit within a year because they didn't like only seeing their ship.

This game was supposed to be so much more than a bunch of bullies bashing eachother over the head with no better reason than to make people cry. I can't wait for the day when the actual game portion of the game becomes important to the devs.

I agree with your first sentence/paragraph 110%. But the rest well, CCP backtracked on the whole station walking thing and stopped with what they made so far. Incarna, was kind of a knee jerk reaction to Star Citizen. Star Citizen may be all these things and more, or a great big flop. With Chris Roberts on it, it is likely gonna rock. but it cant replace Eve, if eve stays focused on spaceships. Going back to your first sentence, it seems that they are only able to focus on a very finite list of things at one time... do you want them to spend time fixing cyno's, sov, pos, weapons or let us get in drunken digital orgies? IMO I want them to focus on spaceships. But all those other things would be cool, once the spaceship balance thing is finally done. It is the spaceships that make this game what it is.
