EVE General Discussion

An f2p contractually exclusive to the mac for the first year with maybe someday a port to PC, PS3 or special android derivative + full VR touch sensitive suit for WiS2? nothx

NO!

What a funny environment forums are. In one thread, people post changes to make it so the top thugs have easier access to the lower skilled to kill and this post wants to wipe out the top thugs and make them restart sort of. Funny viewpoints both.

Resetting is not an option.
But the thread still has potential!
With all the knowledge anchored in the playerbase right now, it would be interesting to hear what people would choose as an income source IF a reset happened.

What skillpaths would be rushed, which pve activities would see most frequent use, what steategic decissions are made in order to secure the biggest share of the pie.

If you can point out the good opportunities, you automatically point at things that maybe need to be balanced.

This game will be fun as **** when we run out of ressources...

Oh I know, add more new systems because the current ones aren't empty enough anyway.

I think there is a simularity between people who believe a reset will 'help' them (or the situation in general) and things like Fozzie sov (that's supposed to "open up" opportunities for the previously disenfranchised "small guy") and other changes CCP has made or wanted to make.

Some people have the idea that "I want to do things, but I can't because of this unfairness, if only this injustice didn't exist, I would shine!" lol. What really happens is that when you remove all these 'barriers' you find the same people who succeeded in the past end up succeeding again (because success is a part of who they are and how they think) and the people who failed in the past (and blamed it on the barriers) keep failing.

This is why CCPs attempts to "open up the game" have failed, the kind of person who will continue to play EVE past the trial would have continued under almost any circumstances, people who quit would have quit anyway.

I actually saw this happen in real life, a guy working for my organization claimed that a few policies we had were all that was holding him back. So he ends up working for another organization that doesn't have the same restrictions....and still hasn't made any progress (and is now blaming it on a new set of conditions...conditions that didn't exist in the original organization lol).

BTW, In the exact same time frame I've been promoted twice, because the things that guy thought were barriers , weren't

The environment and circumstances matter sure, but at the end of the day, whether one experiences success or failure is fundamentally internal, not external. A Reset of EVE Online would just be confirmation of the fact that some people suck at gaming and others don't. We already know this lol.

I think there should be more and more meaningful choices in the game, not less.

The hate between HiSec and Null players is a great driving factor in the game. Why not seperate it a bit more to drive that?

Imagine the more sov your alliance holds, the bigger of an actual empire you become in EvE. I mean you go out there leaving your former empire masters to go out on your own. You have absollutely no contracts with CONCORD for protection. At some point you should be seen as a threat by the old 4 empires.

Make it so with increasing sov comes increased gain in your space, like triple or quadruple what we have now (lore wise you could argue the little pirate patrolling done in null to keep things semi in check are stopped and pirates go berzerk in your space, you get invaded by Drifters, etc...). But also start restricting those people from HiSec (no more gateguns for you in low, Navy starts shooting at you on sight, at goon level empires you will get instaconcordokened in jita). Bettering null infrastructure should go hand in hand with restricting the respective safety in hi. Big empires should strife to have their own market hubs. This would open up a lot of infrastructure to attack, but only once you got big enough to handle that. Smuggling goods from hisec tradehubs would become a profession (of alts ofc (but those alts would not be in alliance and thus cant help in fozziesov), but also people that take it as a job).

This is the kind of response you get (to a post that is just common sense) when a person has a fundamentally nonsensical way at looking at the world.

Why does some random internet guy's post about the obvious nature of things irritate you? It says a lot that you would rather read my posts (that you know you won't like) and respond uselessly rather than use the ignore function.

If you were the kind of person to examine your own thoughts (before speaking them...), you'd realize what your reaction to my postings mean about yourself. To put it bluntly, if my posting on a video game board about personal responsibility, self reliance and the need to know one's self before criticizing others bothers you, it might mean there is something wrong with you.

Of course making snarky jealousy posts every time I post simple observations would be way easier than that though...

hell, go full chaos. Reset under Aegus Sov and merge all the servers...now that would be interesting.
