EVE General Discussion

I was very curious to how the DEVs and other eve players think about the idea of drastically rebuilding eve to fit in the with the other games that CCP is developing and the ideas players are formulating. I lot of these issues of combining Project Legion/Valkyrie and even a lot of cool ideas regarding FW/SOV/Expansion of space/WIS/game play in general seem to be met with "EVE and that just doesn't work well together".

Whether its legacy code issues, core game play mechanic that's so closed off they can't do it, or simply "no that's just wrong". It seems funny that our big open world is so handicapped when it comes to making it more open and content filled. I'm wondering about the time, effort, fthoughts, etc of possibly developing EVE 2.0, being a new building block for eve to sit on top of, while keeping the game/characters/data/etc the same.

My personal feelings:

CCP has this master plan that I think eve cannot fulfill in the state that it's in.

While it would take a great amount of time and effort, I think It would be worth the investment to tear down the old building and rebuild it from the ground up to support everything that may come..

Aaaand I find myself agreeing w/ Tippia again.

::concerned::

Lol, completely understandable.

But I'm more or less talking about the core work. For example Valkyrie will never work in eve, ever. Dust has its minor roll but i still doubt that they would have the freedom to integrate it seamlessly into eve like Valkyrie would if it was, well, an option.

While considered taboo, no you cannot change the ticks/etc, but you can change the way players go about the content in the given area of space. Allowing for more smaller and larger conflicts to occur. How systems can be accessed, and in which future manner should they be allowed to be accessed by(other than a star gate or a wormhole). Space is very large and open, however in our submarine simulator it manages to feel cramped, bottle necked and static, versus a large open immersive non-static world.

methinks you're doing something wrong. It could be because I've only been playing around a year, but eve is very much a large open immersive world to me.

sometimes you have to leave your comfort zone though, which I can see why some don't like to do.

I can trust Tippia to burn these down right away. Its when I don't agree with Tippa I think someone else is logged in :P

I think this is quickly turning into a "**** im burned out of eve" thread..

Do not be, Tippa has made great strides in restraining the rhetoric and focusing on the facts. Credit where credit is due, not everyone can get cooler over the internet.

I've seen people pod themselves 5 minutes into being stuck in a wormhole system even though one ship had a scanner installed.

It's not meant to.

"EVE 2.0"

Every time this is suggested, and it gets suggested often, I have to remind myself to stay cool, that the person posting it isn't clever enough to use the search function on the forum to see if their idea has come up before, and that they're not clever enough to put it in the proper forum to begin with, and on some level, it may not be their fault that they're not clever enough for those things. So there's no point in getting angry about it. It's difficult, but I can restrain myself when needed.

While the suggestion is as annoying this time around as it was the last 50 times it was suggested, because at worst it speaks to a lack of understanding of EVE Online as it is, I have to remind myself that the person posting it isn't clever enough for the things mentioned above, so they probably aren't clever enough for a proper understanding of EVE to begin with, and likely won't be around these parts for very long anyway. So I can take some measure of solace in your imminent departure.
