EVE General Discussion

I need a score card to keep a running tally of those CCP naysayers claiming Eve is dying versus the CCP cheerleaders claiming Eve is and will be stronger than ever, soon.

Personally, I would LOVE to see Eve crash and burn. How appropriate a game touting the aspects of destruction over everything else going down in a flaming wreck by its very developers and player base going in square circles.

Where are new players? Stagnation is for vets who have been everywhere and done everything. the amount of players is the same if you remove the abandoned PLEXed accounts from the equation. There is another option: they in fact stopped playing.

Gues what next expansion name would be: EVE Tuberculosis, that is why we don't get more expansions. Now I get the titans names for the iterations, they all have been beaten at the end.

A quick PSA: The character limit on a post isn't so much telling one to start Part 2, it's saying "STFU", you're typing too much.

You want to know where the new players are? They are in noobcorps, huddled around older players who never left the noobcorp, warning them about the boogeymen that await, should they ever enter space below 0.5 second status, or ever leave the noobcorp.

The only exception to this that I have seen is CAS, who have an active group out in Syndicate. However, even they have a habit of discouraging the 'true new' from going outside of highsec until they're a few months old.

What - none of your infamous "LOL" post?

Did I say I did not like Eve, or you just assuming that?

You people want to know why EVE is is stagnating? I tell you why, it's losing the fun very fast:

Everyhting is very easy now.

Travel is easy, just get a Titan to jump you around or use the JB's network, or even better use your Jump clones.

Logistics are easy. So you are right in the deep 0.0 ? No problem, here it is a brand new Jump Freighter to solve your problems. Use the cyno beacons and you only have to worry about not smashing your JF in the empire station.

Win a battle is easy. Oh look someone is actually attacking us? No problem we have plenty of time to deal with it let us know when the 2nd or the 3rd timmers come out and we will throw a **** ton of super carrier / Titans to the bad guys.

So you want to be in 0.0 but dont have the hability or the strenght? No problem, here, rent this system to the guys that live 28734872 jumps away. But dont forget to pay the rent or in 10 minutes you will be flooded with a 250 Carriers spider tanking each other, you will see how easy they will tank your damage if you dare to try to make a stand.

Win small, scale fights ? Easy, just get an out of grid link booster and you will become a leet pvp player, if the other guy doesn't have them only with a lot of bad luck you will lose.

Oh you want to get kills with no risk ? Here, use this cyno in order you can jump 6753246 guys on the guy that tried to fight you.

Yep, it's so easy is becoming BORING.


I remember to make freighter escorts in order to have stuff around my home in 0.0. It was boring but also extremmelly dangerous to do. Hell I still remember why D2 (Dusk and Dwan) lost the war the day a freighter loaded with more than 100 POS's died to pirates due to the fact the escort wasn't able to protect the freighter. You people imagine a war between 2 major 0.0 enthities being decided because some pirates destroyed the wrong freigher?

I remember to sweat while flying my ratting ship 2-3 jumps afraid of clash against a bad guy. Damn that was stressfull.

I remember how a BS fleet could go horribly wrong only by travelling to the enemy system.

It was dificult but also very intense.

And the fun fact is that the game can still be very intense. Have you guys thought why the hell people love to see the AT tournements ? You dont know who is going to win, skills matter, strategy matters, a bad call and you are done, the players of both teams have to be focused...

In 0.0 battles between the major coalitions you can go afk, watch a movie while your drones are shooting someone and you are being remote repped by someone that is watching some you tube videos. Thats what's killing the game.

I like this one.

I mostly agree with what you said, and they tried to make it easier for people/make it more appealing with those career agents and the hand holding (as harsh as that may sound, but it's what that is) but the game isn't for everyone....

There's a number of things you have to like in order to get hooked on the game.

and yea sort of back on topic...it's summer.

It did here.

We brits just are not used to having a good hot sunny summer, we are scared.

Can we have this as a label directly under the "post" button, pretty pretty please CCP? No one wants to read random dude x's personal manifesto.

SIGH SIGH SIIGGGGGH and some PSHHHHHHHHHHHHH , because i clearly said warp to 0 is THE answer.

The first ''bittervet'' cries i can remember IS ''Brings us back warp to 0'' hence why i used it.I think i clearly made the point that i would agree with him was it not for knowing that that would not solve anything and that those idea's just are a friction of ''us bittervets'' thinking everything used to be so better WHEN IT WASN'T .
