EVE General Discussion

Star Wars

I'm sorry the game does not follow a pre-determined script in hollywood fashion where the "good" side wins against all odds.

FIFY

IMO the most alarming thing about Eve's health is that historically after an expansion there is a spike in player numbers as folk come back to the game to see what's new. After FozzieSov there has been no spike. FozzieSov has proven not to be EveJesus. Instead, the best FozzieSov can claim is that it has not accelerated the decline.

Really, CCP needs to come to grips with the fact that the decline in numbers coincides directly with their efforts to make the game easier, more casual, and new player friendly. Most of their recent changes such as the safety, awok nerfs, and jump fat have not brought in new players while angering and driving away older folk. Much of the complexity of the game has been stripped away. And now instead of relying on the sandbox to create content, CCP as gone a full blizzard and is asking players to form up to battle npc (drifters) for their content. Well I dont want to shoot npc; I want to shoot players and I want the players to be making the content not ccp.

It's usually nerfed when the alrge group demonstrate how broken it is when used on a large scale. Which one of those multiplier really gives the small guy an advantage when the large group can field it and then some?

Links don't help against large organisation because the organisation also have them.

E-WAR is also fielded by large organisation.

Have anything else you think give the small guy an edge?

If anything, all those revolution had something a shitload of people in EVE don't really have, an actual cause they cared about and were ready to put the very best they could on the line to get it. They put their life on the line. When is the last time you saw the "Grrrrr "insert entity" movement actually get it's act together and do something instead of just talking about it?

Except numbers back up that a significant decline has occurred not just in the last couple months but for almost two years with one notable activity spike before declining some more.

So. you should say....im clueless on the subject at hand and will use an outdated mantra as substitute for for my ignorance.

Ive asked others like yourself a very simple question and gotten every manner of stupid response but here's hoping you have a decent one....what exactly is stopping you from finding pvp in a game built on mechanics which allow pvp EVERYWHERE !

Including i might add against fleets running pve content.

The problem isnt CCP it is you and what seems to be the vast majority of so called pvpers in EVE.

There are alliances that operate almost exclusively in highsec the hardest place in the game to manufacture pvp content and still top almost every alliance outside highsec in pvp success.

If you cannot find pvp content it is because you prefer dry-humping your precious ship rather than risk losing it in pvp.

Nicely put.... very nicely put.

If people want PVP it is everywhere in the game. Problem is the people screaming that null sec is stagnant is because they are a sheep in a huge alliance. Alliances, in my game design should not exist and corporations should have a limited amount of members. Alliances have too many blues, are too big and ruin the game through dictatorship. At least make it harder for entities to become fweinds.

You do know that players tend to do stuff despite boundaries imposed by game-design ?

AFAIK there are no coalitions in EvE's game-design. Also, the story that I heard about alliances is that CCP added them after players started to hit the max members in corp and started forming informal alliances.
