EVE Information Portal

I know, I was hoping I was dreaming. That was ******* scary.

And now it is an issue to sell whatever you can lay your hand on because everybody around you have same NPCs, moons and other stuff. In the same way it is an issue to build something at your home, especially since moons for some reason decided that what they have in them depends on NPC type. Yes, it sort of made the universe larger, but it also killed truly epic battles and turned logistic in a really boring thing.




It doesn't matter if you use your space or not, nothing changes. What you've said is a myth made up by CCP. Anyway all it takes to take down your station services for instance is up to 20 m and couple ships. Also, since capitals are now useless in holding space it is actually easier. I know that all this might still change and i'm waiting for it, but i've also already decided what to do with my Nyx if gets no better.
I'm saying that having the ability to choose when someone can attack you is killing all the challenge.

Multi buy :D...

And what about the jukebox?

A lot of ppl want pvp as well. If by pve content you mean more new missions, a way to make mining less boring then yes I agree we need that. But I'm reading: I want more iskies for those thingies... to that I say: you want to make the already messed up inflation on the eve market got even higher?

( BTW, how is exploration complicated? )

As for pvp, my alliance isn't someone elses ( b-word as you so eloquently put it ) and we're having a blast. Guess you're doing something wrong there?

Solo is death? Really? Have you tried it? More than once?


to CCP: Looking forward to your plans for the first expansion on EVE Vegas, this citadel and capital rebalance is a very anticipated change and we want moaaar info on it :)

It is very heartening, for somebody who hopes to play Eve for another six years, to see that CCP is actually becoming a learning organization. I know I just threw out a cursed management buzzword, but in this case it applies. I don't envy you your job, you have ended up in charge of what may be the most bizarre, convoluted, and in your case rent/mortgage paying unintentional social experiment in the history of mankind. And the worst part is instead of some tidy finding that goes in a paper at the end you have to somehow keep it fun for all of us and run it forever. Without getting good at adjusting to feedback and developing the ability of your team to respond to changes there was no way it could have worked.

As it is though, I see you are doing those things. Keep it up. I think if you do you will eventually break through the design barriers from "legacy" Eve which make it hard to have fun sometimes and create a game that offers far more than it does today.

Good stuff.

Thanks for putting up with us CCP.

Glad to see this. Expansions also help push people to work together on the Uniwiki.


They could release a standalone game that hooks into a chat server. Solo players would never notice the difference, except for being happier to be completely safe from PVP.

Is that a good idea? I'd like to hear your viewpoint.
How much would new themepark content be worth to you, if it had no impact outside of your profile, ala Skyrim.
Seriously, how much? PLEX for ISK goes off the table, so all the money you earn can be spent on things instead of time. That's good, right?

I know how much Elite costs. I can play that offline. And it's pretty. I haven't bought it yet.
I started playing STO again. I bought a $25 point card which could buy me a single ship. Almost nothing that I do in that game makes any material difference to the userbase. (But the Goons still try. ;) My fleet already has a full Starbase. The whole game is on cruise control and the market is a complete joke. But boy, the themepark stuff sure is pretty.

It just seems like you (Xiomaro and the "solo players") want it both ways in one product, and that hasn't been working out so well.

P.S. If I could buy PLEX cards at my local 7-11, I might like that a lot.

Very intelligent and also a very good blog with great news! Expansions draw new players, continous updates retains the existing playerbase. Voila!

However all of us with capitals and cyno accounts probably won't resub those accounts until the new roles of supers and caps are released, not just announced! Meanwhile we are playing EVE with our main accounts, trying to find fun activities, so we ARE allready doing what you want us to CCP Seagul!

But, as I also understand that the decrease in payed accounts now has started to hurt CCP, to the community I would suggest we start resubbing some payed accounts to support CCP a bit; the news revealed sofar about structures etc are really promising, and CCP Seaguls blog is to, Fozziesov is beeing iterated on and will be better in time.

I'll go first and resub one account in the weekend. Just one, but still, a signal for CCP!

I pointed out that losing the big expansions in favour of smaller releases was bad from the announcement. IN YOUR FACE, IN ALL OF YOUR FACES!

/shameless told-you-so post

For me what it all boils down to is lacking that mass marketing campaign that comes with an expansion. Huge features and trailers that grab you by your face and go "Look at what's coming! EEEK!". The smaller release cycles are great for little changes and balance fixes that only the existing playerbase really care about, but old players looking back and potential new players won't be wowed by that. Hopefully this will go a long way to bringing the playercount up to a more healthy level.

That's the f*cking point!!
