Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Rain,

This is an incredible idea. I like it very much. It makes a lot of sense for EVE to evolve its gameplay this way.


People will eat it up.


Also, Jovian snipe in your thread. Behold.

Supported.

I created a similar idea as a response to the ban isboxer threads, but never gave it a thread of it's own.
I am a lousy spokesperson, as I have trouble communicating my ideas to others.

Give everyone the ability to multibox.

It can be server side or client side, the difference would not be significant.
(Server side could be more practical, as client side would scale limited by hardware purchased by real life money, creating an indirect form of pay-to-win from one viewpoint)

You would have the accounts linked to each other through the account management tool.
It would be a violation of the eula to transfer accounts to another player on this level, as that would be account sharing.

The player themselves is the limiting factor in this.

The player would log into the master account, and have two options regarding each slave account.
Direct control, (swap into the slave account directly, for first person traditional play).
Indirect control, which would be logging that account in as a menu driven set of choices, while maintaining control from the master account in direct mode.
This might resemble a fleet screen UI, more than anything else.

Ship fittings, inventory control beyond basic, all of these would require direct control.

Group actions, would be possible through Indirect control.

EVE should be all inclusive, as software goes, concerning options for play.

I would call it Legion.

What does RTS mean?

Elaborate!

Thanks dear!

I have heard the term before but I wasn't sure what it meant in EVE. I did however played the ones you mentioned and Supreme Commander, also a very good one, not the second but the first one rocks

uhhhhhhhhhhh no.

Hell no.

The ridiculous power of alts have done enough damage to this game.

This is not isboxer, nor is it close enough to consider in the same context here.

CCP was very specific regarding how IsBoxer was not going to be permitted, and this does not enter into any of those areas.

Reference:

Lies! It means Really Tasty Stew.

The easiest and fastest way to defeat botters is to give players an in-game botting mechanism that is accessible to all and fully legal. After all, it's less the fact that they are botting and more the advantage it gives them that causes said botters to destroy the game. Balance the game to assume everyone is botting and voíla! bots are beaten.

I agree with the sentiment, but I object to the term bot or botting.

To my understanding, this would not be considered botting, as it does not remove the player as a decision maker at any significant level for control.

Justifying the purchase and maintenance of additional accounts, by making them more accessible to control like this, seems to me a natural progression of the whole power of two campaign by CCP.
You want players to own multiple accounts? Then I feel we should make them convenient to control.
