Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Being an Eve veteran I've seen a lot of changes in EVE over the past few years, some have been good and some bad.

I was chatting to my son Captain Nyko and we both came to the conclusion that Eve has become some what boring these days.

We miss the fix position DED Sites like the Serpentis Drug Den, which we visited regularly in our early years, this rewarded us with pirate faction mods all the time. Then there was the Rouge Drone Infestation Site a DED 2, which rewarded us with special alloys.

Visiting these sites regularly came with there risks, which involved PvP, as some player would turn up and steal the contents from your kill's

I know there still is a DED Site in Deltole and another 2 jumps from there though that seams to be it..

The new DED Sites, which now have to be scanned down, as yet haven't rewarded me with anything, apart from T1 rubbish. What has happened with finding pirate faction and faction mods, even the Drone sites have nothing of interest anymore.??

I don't want to say it, though after taking some 5 to 10 minutes scanning a site down, then we get nothing begs the question "What's the bloody point"..

It seams CCP have forgotten the small Corp's and individuals who play Eve Online..

Please bring back the fixed position DED Sites like they were before, with the rewards we used to get, we miss this side of Eve..

They were farmed almost constantly. I still have a few dozen centi items from my farming in Tash-Murkon. Head a roundabout route through all complexes in the region. Made me quite some money. But I'm glad they're gone.

This thread has been moved to Features & Ideas Discussion.

I also removed an of topic post.

Damn I grow tired of this comment. Low, nul and even WH are waste lands why if they are so great?
If low, nul WH offered what players want why don't they move there?
This comment also illustrates another common problem we have in this game. "I think high sec is boring so everyone else needs to think that way". News flash dude for a lot of us the high sec game is just what "WE WANT" only we would like a few adjustments. Tried low sec, tried WH and have a son and more than a dozen of my RL friends that play in nul and I want no part of any of those they simply do not fit the way I want to play this game.

Back to the OP.
I have a slightly different perspective on the same issue.
There used to be sites in high that you had to have max skills and a tech 2 scan ship to find and that rewarded those of us who choose to train the skills and buy the equipment, now any first day scan character can get 100% signal on all of those sites.
I like these changes in that it allows for a lower cost of entry (for lack of a better term ) so many players can experience this activity. But they need to add levels like there is in missions, there would be starter sites like level 1 missions that anyone can find and run up through level 4 sites that would require a fully skilled pilot, best equipment and a lvl 4 capable combat ship to run. The rewards would have to be scaled as well and I think using the average ISK for lvl 1 to lvl 4 missions would be a good place to start for these rewards.

No they do not need more money making activitys in highsec. Leave the secure space to make more money or at least don´t complain about other getting more money or better content. Change your point of view and don´t ruin the game with pushing all content into the highsec.

mfg

Null Sec ratting/anoms are the largest isk faucet by miles
WH Blue loot to NPC buy orders are the second largest isk faucet.

Get your facts right. Overall value created might be different but per player I'd wager High Sec has the lowest actual value creation occurring also.
Market trade does not create any value in the game at all, it actually destroys value. It only moves isk from one person to another, and almost certainly a lot of the market traders are alts of null/wh/low players.

And so? Nullsec pays better and? Are you seriously suggesting you can't make a ridiculous amount of isk from PVE in highsec?

The OP is pleading poverty because of mechanics changes, I'm suggesting that's he's simply not putting the effort in. Not sure what your point is other than... no, no idea.

Nice rant, but let me tell you, when i was doing those Static DED sites i only had myself and a bloody rifter, so here's some harsh, yet wise words:

LEARN TO PLAY.


EVE is about Risk vs Reward. And you don't get rewarded for getting blown up in Low- or Nullsec, you get rewarded for being smart, knowing the risks and knowing how to deal with them.


And a 50k player Blue Donut won't save your f'cking exploration ship if you're too bad to avoid dangerous situations.


And if you want shiny pirate loot in highsec, look for a station / system with a good chunk of L4 security agents you can farm, and if you get a World's Collide you farm it for a week.

Mmmm yet another ignorant statement from the man in a big corp.. Learn to play what mate..??

EVE is basically a virtual life game where we live the life of a capsuleer and I know how to play the game in the way I want to play it and not the way you want me to play it, based on your limited perspective of the game..!!

I think you have things wrong..??

1, Why has everyone got to leave High Sec Space to make money? Where's the choice..!!
2, No ones asking for more money making activities in High Sec, I'm asking for the ones we used to have, to be brought back..!!
