Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Increased missions rewards will lead to richer game experiences, as much of the game's population does missions. Encouraging fleets is the best way to retain players.

should take your own advice then buddy

EVE should have a new feature that rewards fleets for missions. Increased isk payout, scaling missions, better standings. All sorts of increased rewards to thank players for creating content and developing "richer experiences".

I would like to see this. There have been plenty of times I've tagged along or had someone tag along on a mission and despite being depressingly boring we were disappointed to find little got added or shared. It would be nice to sign up for a joint mission or having someone tag along would raise the profit a bit. Something like 190% for two players, 265% for three, 320% for four ect. the percentage gets smaller for each individual you add to the mission. This means that one player doing a mission with a reward for 2 million will make 2 million. Two players will make 3.8 mil or 1.9m each. Three players would make 5.3 mil or 1.76m each and so on until say 10 players where the bonus would be something like a flat 700% or 14m total/1.4m each. Over ten (or maybe even just five) the number would no longer increase.

It would make it more lucrative for each individual but only slightly and it would still heavly depend on their speed at finishing the missions.

This process could also be used for LP rewards from missions.

lol you dont see how your wasting your time and isk/hour with that at all?

If your going to multi box why would you run one mission with four earning 320% isk when you can run four missions with each earning 100% for each or 400% total profit. Then again if you think you can run them faster with four in one mission then it's on you to try and optimize it and vise versa.

This actually opens up missioning gameplay depth by giving players MORE options to try and make better isk, even if we're just talking about a multiboxer. Some might like the ease of running just one site with a few ships while others will want to maximize and pay a little more attention as they control three alts and their main at four separate missions.

Because it is far, far, far easier to put my shopping alt, my freighter pilot, and the freighter alt's webber into a single fleet with a mission runner, have them do what they do, while I also solo missions and get 320% isk.

Once again, the many ways players of this game will utterly abuse this idea greatly outweighs any potential benefits.

This....


OP, watch damn neer any video ccp has made. At least from apoc which was the first videos I saw. Google butterfly effect....still in my top 5 movies ever made by ccp in my book.

CCP is giving the less than subtle guide in most videos that the content you seek is not in pve and not even in empire. Few exception videos (recall the ghost sites one being pve focused) but by and large when a player tires of rescuing the damsel, yawns running even AE bonus room ccp has shown the way to new areas to try out. WH, low or 0.0.



Plus the abuses already well covered. But to be fair to the op....a caveat shall be presented. these new missions exist only out of empire. Some will say umm, level 5's exist. Correct. We just have CCP modify level 5's to payout all instead of the claimer primarily...voila. Reuse of old material....why make new code when you can tweak the old stuff.

Bears get what they want. The pvp'ers get what they want. if 4 bears run the level 5 and not die to ,say, tusker roams.....they should be rewarded well. Even better than incursions I may even grant.

This actually a fair middle ground. Its a reward that isn't game breaking really.

that it can't be money is certain. Right amount of isk on the table I can wake up alts real fast. The many threads before this beat that poor horse to death. Time to let them rest really lol.

that and as mentioned in the many threads before there are ways people can get paid to share that level. Run them wolf pack style with say frigates. When you spam a level 4 with several pro pve BS' boredom should be expected. And the payout will suck as its a mere small percent of the ship(s) involved.

DO af spam it gets interesting and say a mission like wc which can pay out 30 mil in bounty and agent reward...split even 5-6 players is 5ish mil a player. 5 mil a decent percentage to cost of the af. vice 5 mil to cover thier billion dollar shiny fit BS. Put 4-6 af's on a bs target....she is gonna drop. fast and hard. So all get a piece of the bounty on it.

the interesting part to this what attracted me in the past. When I had alt accounts active I ran odd ball combo's. Why I was sad to see NPC aggro shift come in some ways tbh. Used to drop in the meat shield bs like rattler with the alt and when the main on breaks from 0.0 I'd have him run the stealth bomber (torp spec'd ofc) for a change of pace. Now on just one account...I'll af a level 3 from time to time for giggles.

Want to make eve interesting, make it interesting. No law says it has to pay well to do this. It not being SSDD crush the rats in an uber ship can be its own reward. But thats me. IN rl if a fellow net admin has a really cool project I am not on but looks kick ass is working a bit after hours I will hang around and help out...for free, no hours charged. An hour of exposure to new technologies being implemented the reward to me.

I could get behind this - but aren't standings relatively pointless apart from market alts? As a new player, over eight years ago, just running missions by myself, I could gain standings faster than my skills could enable me to run more difficult missions.

Standings= jump-clones.

This is going to be met with a lot of resistance on the forums because of the vocal PvP crowd not wishing to see groups of PvE pilots doing anything in combat ships.

Most of your players that enjoy fleet type things have their own alliance forums and such they discuss the game in. The largest vocal group here are the solo PvP bears that, as the one guy above posted, consider PvE pilots to be content, not enjoying content. Some devs should really take a look at that statement and understand just exactly how toxic for the game it really is.

As to the subject of the thread... I agree that missions and other activities should scale with fleets. Even if it was nothing more than seeing extra triggered waves within standard missions which would equate to a bit more ISK and microscopic standings changes per mission. Possibly a system that led to escalations and other activities that were more suited to fleets. Some of that could lead to other areas of space---though honestly the PvP folk need to give up the dream that anyone interested in PvE and not already there can be enticed there by a little more ISK. You can pay me to be your content directly with ships and ISK for my time, but I'll not volunteer to do it on my dime.

PvE can certainly use the love and attention of the Devs for a little while. We pay most of the bills, we deserve some of the spoils.
