EVE General Discussion

Dude, your face...

Fazmarai did leave...and come right back , like they always do lol. Isn't it amazing how a game can be so rotten and filled with unsavory people and yet at the same time so irresistible?

so?

if CCP is smart they completely ignore random interwebs feedback in their development work, but focus on it in their marketing efforts.

So.... your ideas for attracting more players to this PVP game is overhauling PVE content with collectible card game mechanics? Please go back to dev school and try again.

how does this in any way attract new players to the game? it sounds fckin boring

It's the curse of the PC crowd, the "no child left behind" mentality. Funny thing is that they don't mean "you're not supposed to offend people", what they actually means is "don't offend me". And they don't mean "no child left behind" but actually "don't leave me behind". It's dumbing down to mediocrity, an idiocracy in the making.

Relevant.

For new player Everything in new game is new, so no need to bring new toys for him for a moment. For established players new toys are mandatory, but there is difference between legos and dolls, nonetheless, people play with both. I say you should be able to choose which legos you want for your doll and build a house in station from those legos, together with functionalities. Modularity was expected from WIS, so people didnt really got what they wanted.

Well I mean, if lying to yourself is THAT important to you, go right ahead. Don't expect to pull one over my eyes though.

You try really hard to duck the points people make don't you? I mean, I used to think things were just flying over your head, but I'm sure now that you're dodging them intentionally.

Appreciate you took the time to find those links. IMO. it seems like a pretty complicated system. I have two points:
A) I don't see how this will bring in new players? You said yourself no new mechanics will make people join EVE. It is also too complicated to explain easily without people loosing interest.

B) If it is to make PVE feel more exciting, a more simple approach could be adapted. If one was to be "inspired" by the game(which may be vaporware or not) I mentioned in my PM to you some time ago, they found an interesting approach.

Radient missions. It would require a lot of reprograming but the system it self is simple. This would be my sugggestion how to apply radient missions to EVE, just from the top of my head:.

1) you remove the tiers of missions, and decouple it from agents. Also remove agents from the stations. Decouple it from standings as they have no purpose anymore.

2)You make a toogle in the menu "PVE mission- on/off". Couple this to adding a ship size toggle. So you can select what size ship you want to do the missions in.

3)When flying around in space, if the PVE missions is toogled on, you will be contacted by agents through the notification system(could make some npc corp (like concord etc.) responsible for hiring capsuleers to mission on behalf of everyone in new eden, and they are the ones contacting you), with missions that can be completed in the ship size you have selected in the menu. The reward is connected to ship size.

4) If you reject a mission, another one will pop up after x mins. of flying in space.

5) Specific themed missions could be coupled to certain areas to keep up with lore.

6) I would like to see them being spawned randomly when you are contacted, some times x destroyers, sometimes y. To make PVE less predictable.

7)when mission is completed, the isk is automatically transferred to you.


The advantage of this system would be:

-missions are less unpredictable.

-you don't have to return to station, so you are not bound to a certain area. Pick you ship size mission, fly around and you can go where ever space is taking you.

-People would have to fly around waiting for missions to pop up, exposing them to PVP.

-Having to fly around waiting not and not being bound to a station would perhaps create more nomads just flying around in low and null, increasing population in those areas (might also not)

-waiting x min. flying around will mess with the isk/hour mentality of a lot of people. This will IMO. make PVE more long time enjoyable, as you just taddle around in the universe pick a mission here and there. I think optimizing isk/hour and static missions are what make PVE unjoyable for me at least. This would fix all of that.
