Player Features and Ideas Discussion

The EvE is just a PVP game is so very old.

Really, comments like that are like a child saying school is just for social bullying.

Wake up fellows and start reading a little more.

1) Look up the most ship kills (NPC kills are at minimum 100 to 1 to PVP kills).
2) Look up players is space (High Sec is far more populated)
3) Look up how much time is logged doing PVE activities vs PVP stuff... PVE has far more time spent.

Why in the world wouldn't you want PVE to get better in all areas for all player bases.


It's a PVE game with PVP experiences thrown in to get past the boredom.

You're playing your own game boys, let others play theirs.

or come up with better reasons for posting, you add zero to the discussion by saying EVE is this or that!

to be more direct...

I am talking about combat in general. Mission Running.

There are plenty of Indy and Market Opportunities for advanced game play in High Sec already.

Regarding losing ships... I've lost ships many times both in PVP and PVE with other characters I've played over the years. In High Sec and PVP areas.

The most comfortable loses are always PVE related where the game is balanced and I needed to up my game.
The times I've lost ships in Low and Null are boring, uneventful trash encounters with absolutely no element of good game play for either side. To setup a Gate Camp is the weakest game design I've ever seen in a game and has nothing resembling competition. If you're a gate camper ganker, you are cheating your own game and living a lie that you're amazing at PVP.

This game has some cool PVP parts, but space battles for part time solo players, just isn't there, sorry! The only thing that's left if PVE. I don't give a rats what the forum trolls think, as I post for CCP to see the player interests.

This same crowd, shot down The Skill Queue change and Single spawn rats (Burner missions) and those are great adds to the game.... of which I've posted many times before they were introduced.

It would be awesome if you stopped dodging my questions. Also again, for your reading pleasure:

Apocrypha

Release date: March 10, 2009

At Fanfest 2008 it was announced that instead of a six-month gap between expansions the subsequent expansion to Quantum Rise, Apocrypha, would be released on March 10, 2009. This expansion included a training queue, Tech 3 vessels, and exploration of uncharted space through unstable wormholes.[38][39] Apocrypha has improved NPCs' artificial intelligence and has added a new NPC faction to the game, the Sleepers.[40]

Apocrypha 1.5 was released on August 20, 2009 and considered by CCP to be a mini-expansion. CCP felt that Apocrypha was released very early for a Summer expansion, and that they had enough content ready to go for it to be classified as more than a patch.[41] The new mini-expansion brought to EVE four more epic mission arcs, new rig sizes, specialized cargo bays for specific ships, and performance enhancements for their Factional Warfare.

Apocrypha ended official support for Linux operating systems


Is that what you're talking about.. I don't see it having anything to do with giving non-pvp players more advance combat options.

This post has nothing to do with PVP areas or removing PVP content. If that floats your boat, great!
You are lost in an illusion if you think CCP thinks this game is only a PVP game. To them it's a money game, where they are trying to keep high end players to fund their show!

3) Look up how much time is logged doing PVE activities vs PVP stuff... PVE has far more time spent.

How this thread quickly turns to defending PVP is so typical of forum vets.

This is not a nerf PVP thread, it's a make non-PVP combat more interesting as you progress in game.

1) Most games have levels as players progress through the ranks of game play.
2) Each level adds more dynamic and difficult content to the game.
3) Said levels have bosses that are more challenging to the player.
4) CCP encourages Multiple accounts (I get adverts all the time and buy into the deal)
5) CCP should have content that is not in PVP designated areas that allows the promoted multiple account player to progress and still be challenged.
6) They currently are lacking in this area; as there is a void between level 4 missions and Incursions for non-PVP oriented game play.

How is that threatening all that is right with the world..... ladies?

While multi-boxing is encouraged to a degree, having to push a "solution" to there being a gap in progression from l4 missions (designed as intermediate solo play, or beginner group play) and incursions (designed as direct competition for high end pilots with rewards commensurate to the SP and ship investment, i.e. one of the possible definitions of "end game play") being available in highsec (one of 4 primary space types, and the one which is least player driven, the tightest rules on the sandbox and thus the least risk, leading to lower possible isk rewards) is asking to be a special snowflake. If you want something PVE and more difficult and thus rewarding, leave highsec or step up and run incursions. Commitment + Barrier to entry + risk + investment (SP, ship/fit, and PLAYER SKILLS) are what determines how profitable an activity is designed to be.
