Player Features and Ideas Discussion

So basically, this is a "Nerf CFC, nullsec pirate entities, and nullsec in general...to specifically cater to MY wallet" idea thread.



I like them CFC dudes. They are pretty decent gents. I also approve of piracy. I also approve of null.

-1 from me.





Also, this?

Not sure about you, but I play EvE Online, a game that is primarily PvP in nature, not PvE in nature.

What you perceive as a "PvE Train Wreck," many others, including myself, would perceive as a "conflict driver in a PvP game."

Just saying.

It's both pvp and pve; in fact it's quite a lot of things, and having the option to choose is one of the many things that makes the game great. If you think a single group given the opportunity to completely monopolize an aspect is a good thing, then I doubt I'd change your mind about game content in this regard. Yes, this will probably not be an issue with belt ratting, but it comes across as decidedly unusual and somewhat absurd that they're not doing anything about expanding the agent pool for this faction when they are becoming so decidedly important.

And to set the record straight, I've been involved in FW for a little over three years. I LIKE doing pve as a break from solo and small gang pvp, as it tends to drain my wallet a bit. And yes, I am being selfish about wanting access to this because I like a lot of the traditional methods of pve in this game, along with things like relic hunting and R&D.

I don't see one group entirely benefitting from the developer's negligence to be just a "conflict driver in a pvp game" as you put it.

First, let me fix something for you.



Now that we have fixed your opening statement for you, let's address the opinions you set forth...



I hardly think that. My opinions about a certain organization hardly has any bearing on game mechanics. But I am also quite aware that current game mechanics completely give you the freedom to...

-Form an organization to move into Pure Blind
-Bubble gates
-Use D-Scan
-Fly Capitals And Super Capitals
-Afk-Cloak
-Etc, Etc, into infinity...

You get my drift.

Now the next part of what you said is where you shoot yourself in the foot, multiple times, and make it clear that your only intention with this thread is inability to put forth :effort: in the game. I will highlight the parts, and address them afterwards. I will also pepper your quote with my thoughts on the unhighlighted sections. Y'know, to be "thorough."



The highlighted portions pretty much already solve your problem, since this quote was released by CCP Rise:



The unhighlighted portions are each addressed individually with my italicized thoughts, showing how entitled you are, and lack the effort to obtain them through the fair and "conflict driven" means that CCP has fairly laid forth for everyone in the game, as with all things in EvE Online.

Since I fixed your opening line, and pretty much tore apart your reasoning for your idea, do this instead of posting entitlement dribble...

Go make a corp.

Recruit some people.

Lock down NPC PB.

Since you obviously do not understand the meaning of "conflict driver."

Or go belt rat in FW, which is going to be your best bet anyway, due to the fact that you claimed...



Hmmmm, FW is lowsec, right?



Have a nice day.

The problem with that is they're not pirates, they're mercenaries paid to fight pirates. Having one system they've strongarmed for themselves as the extent of their territory makes sense, because they get paid to be everywhere else.

Edit: Point in case, all of the new Mordu anomalies you find on SiSi right now involve the Mordu attacking pirate covert research facilities, and they can be found anywhere in 0.1-0.4

It isn't being neglected, and you're mostly trying to help yourself.




Why wouldn't they? You do know there are other items in the Mordu's Legion LP store, right? Why would the inclusion of a whole 3 new ******* items suddenly mean they have to change anything about the existing landscape for that faction? I mean, other than to soothe your butthurt about your inability to access that LP store?

It's completely nonsensical and obnoxiously self involved.

That isn't being neglected. That fits perfectly with the backstory of Mordu's Legion and should not be changed. It wouldn't make sense. It would, in fact, be mostly mental.

Let me help with this a bit... Because there is a compromise to be made.

I can not find anything that states that Mordu's Legion does not use capitals, and capitals are pretty damn big ships flown by important people, who have agendas they would like to see completed. If you want more Mordu's Legion agents an appropriate request would be for Nomadic agent fleets containing at least one capital, maybe several, that spawn at random in low sec, stay in system for a few hours, and then leave to spawn somewhere else a few jumps away in a randomly chosen direction.

Being on grid with these fleets and not having a hostile standing with Mordu's Legion (In which case you get shot) you have access to an agent through the Agent Finder interface. You can start a conversation in this window and pick up your mission.

Once you have your mission and destination, which can be anywhere from in the same system to 2 or 3 jumps away just like a normal security mission, everything progresses normally just like you would expect with any other security mission. Once you have completed the mission you turn it in the same way you accepted it.

If the agent has moved during the time it took you to complete the mission you can still find them through your agent locator, but only when you have an active mission with that agent.

You still have to go to their one station to spend the LP, that mechanic cannot be changed.


Now! You have a plausible framework to build on that adds some interesting new content to the game, some new mechanics, a new way to get LP for Mordu's Legion that both cannot be camped and will be difficult to farm, that is lore friendly and technically achievable without jumping through too many hoops from a game design perspective.

If you like the idea, push for it to happen. If you don't, suck it up and move on, because the only reason Mordu's Legion has a station in the first place is because it's hard for the secretary to discuss contract deadlines when missiles kept poking through the side of the ship she was assigned to.

This. I like this a lot. This is better than what I have and I would vote for this over my current idea.
