Player Features and Ideas Discussion

So, your devpost about the blowing up of things the other day was fun to read, and it occurred to me-- if you guys have access to all the statistical information in EVE, why not make a really cool killboard with it? 3rd party boards are alright, but you guys could run one that was completely accurate and very detailed.

Presumably because some people don't want their killmails posted, so privacy issue.

Not that I agree, but I understand the motivation. I'd recommend that, if something like this were implemented, to make it 'opt-out' rather then 'opt-in'; anyone who cares enough to remove themselves from the central killboard could do so, but the average guy, either not caring or not motivated enough to find and click the appropriate button, would stay there. That would make a better killboard then the current 'opt-in' systems like Battleclinic, which puts up a barrier to entry by requiring that people either post their own mails, or submit API info. Low barrier, I know, but enough to exclude a lot people, who simply don't bother to sign up for any killboards, and thus only show up on the kills of others.

Totally second that. To add to this, I'd like an opt-out (or better opt-in) to the "feature" that the CEO has access to the member's killmails and can run a corp kb just by providing his own API key. And the killmails in themselves give way too much info about the victim's loadout and his cargo.

YES Male an killboard, the others suck tbh.

This.

There's no hiding your losses in eve, if it were possible, we would not find out about people losing ships full of plexes, or the embarrassed ratting supercaps that get ganked. Privacy really isn't an option here. But it still is a great idea, a CCP killboard is the way forward. The EVE GATE was an amazing success imo, a similar interface for a CCP killboard would be much welcomed.

they could easily integrate the Eve/CCP Killboard into Eve Gate and if people are concerned about privacy then just like other things in EVE GATE you could have options to hide kill/loss details. Same options available to those who are CEO or have director roles of Alliances/Corps for the Ally/Corp Profile. Viola. Wouldnt even take them but maybe a few months to do it and it would be very cool.

o yes just what eve needs MORE stats for the stat junkys to jerk off to and show all there friends and talk about how epic there K/D ration is or how there winning the isk war even tho they have not managed to flip the station.



YES PLEASE GIVE ME MORE KMs we all need more KMs in a game that has nothing to do with comparing stats,

i did not know EvE had devolved into some kinda sports game where people track there favorite teams stats and brag to there co workers

Make it configurable. A matrix of...

1. Everyone
2. positive standing
3. +10 standing
4. Corp
5. Alliance

crossed with

1. Immediate
2. time-delayed
3. full data
4. limited data (i.e. only recoverable items)

Given these settings, if CCP decides to run an own killboard/ladder/whatever, it should be treated with the access level "everyone".

Even if I cannot influence the winner posting a full killmail with me being the loser, I really don't want to publicize even more data making my movements/favourite ships and loadouts and whatever even more identifiable.


And before you ask: Yes, I refuse to have a Failbook or Google+ account as well.

because we must know EVERY THING about the people your fighting with 0 work right?
