That's pretty bad goal. No, not because of Doomheim being horrible, but because you'll be asked on the interview "What do you seek in the Doomheim?".
Try to think about it. Make up your minds, make up your answer.

On a related note, CCP has done Crimson Harvest (Blood Raiders) and Frostline (Serpentis). The next event should be Sansha, complete with the "Sansha Kuvakai makes people come back from the dead" theme.

NPCs would be characters in the Doomhiem corp and instead of sites, they would just spawn randomly to attack the account holders that deleted them Twisted. Oh and unlike the last event they drop actual interesting things...

See my thread in GD. Something's coming already.

My wet dream of EVE? oh oh oh...


First of all, have a big galactic war that screws up the systems secstanding, make it fluctuate everyday... make it nullsec oneweek... highsec the NeXT...



Then make a a no firezone around gates and stations... :D :D :D... that will make the mainstream EVE players commit mentally suicide ingame and send bombtreaths to CCP.



Have a few UBER HISEC, where all weapons on ships og offline when entering system. (Even more players will become pissed)



And remove the SOV completely and let the "NPC Population" decide if a alliance can keep its controll decided upon if they have provided the system With Resources and goods the NPC population needs... Ergo, every systems needs to be worked to keep "ownership" of "system". (That would **** of the big "selfproclaimed" region owners" cuz it will remove their "rentfee" for something they dont own anyways)



oh oh oh... not to forget, give factional police ability to Block unwated players Access to systems. (gates wont activated)



Let CONCORD pod criminals and give them big fines, 10 times the value of what they destroyed or tried to destroy. :D


Remove PLEX from game completely :D :D :D


Refuse players to have ONLY 1 ACCOUNT online. XD


AND let players hire soldiers from DUST to assasinate other players when they are docked :D


NON THE LEAST, IF A PLAYER SCAMS OTHER PLAYERS (LIKE THE SCAMMERS IN JITA) THEIR OTHER TOONS AND ACCOUNTS GETS LINKED TO THE SCAMMINGTOON SO EVERYONE SEES WHO THEY REALLY ARE XD XD

One EVE wet dream would be to win a 1v1 and loot the wreck to find like 50 PLEX in cargo. I would literally say to my screen, 'Well now! Don't mind if I do!' and be the smuggest smuggernaut about it to everyone, for days.

There's just something about this post I find annoying. I can't put my finger on it but it's definitely there!

I'd like to make a profit in PvP.

Wait, you're asking about what would like to do in PvE? I'd like to PvP in a PvE environment. Surrounded by pretty stars, and floating corpses, and oh yea, make a profit blowing up other players.

My goal?

That's a very good question.

My goal when I came to Eve was to be a space pirate. I did that till I was -10.
Then my goal became to fly in the really huge, shiny fleets in the Sov wars. I did that and participated in some of the biggest battles Eve has ever seen, helped build a player empire larger and more powerful than the NPC empires.

Literally the end game of the empire building sandbox. Done that. CCP had to basically use dev hax to break our grip on null sec.

So where to go now? What do you do once you've 'won' Eve Online? Especially since CCP decided that winning their game was bad and fairly well ensured that such epic space drama will never happen again.
Despite it's warts, it's TiDi, it's sitting on a Titan for an hour for no kills....Dom Sov was obviously fun because thousands of us showed up to every battle.

My goal was seeing where building a huge empire in a sandbox would lead- but that was essentially castrated by FozzieSov, which artificially shook the etch-a-sketch then broke off one of the knobs.

Like a lot of sov guys that enjoyed massive fleets and epic warfare- Eve is suddenly a much more hollow experience for me. Many of us have left sov because the simple truth is that FozzieSov effectively killed sov as a premier mechanic in the game. People are drifting away looking for somethiing remotely as interesting as running a galaxy spanning empire.

I considered selling everything but a Tengu and go get lost in the WH network.

But to be blunt- my goal in Eve right now is to find something fun to do to keep me subscribed.

You didn't win, though.

It's hard to find a goal for oneself when he identifies with the achievements of many ...


You did not win at all.


Do you have an item with youe name on it?

Try that!

Or invent a technique or fitting that'll get adopted by others.

Start a rally to get something done!

Run the biggest scam in EVE history!

Be like Chribba!




There's SO many things, you just don't see them! :D


Think about it.

**** alliances, groupthink and following orders of strategists ...

What do you want to achieve by YOURSELF? :D

This whole thread makes me think of Progod back when he joined 101st. We joined about the same time and people gave him a little rough time for his last name. But he indicated early on he wanted to be a great FC. So when i think of players that have a goal and follow it through, I think of him.

Of course, he probably has absolutely no clue who I am. :P Everyone was pushing to make me a carrier pilot since I was the only idiot that had trained DI V.

Getting my name on an item was probably my biggest honor by far. So that's one goal that means a lot to me. Future goals, well it would be cool to have an xl citadel in Amarr just for the kicks of it Big smile

RVB was a good second, but E-Uni is the white whale. Frankly I think we missed the opportunity for that at this point. The ideal time would have been when kelduum revaan was in charge and they were at maximum beariness.

They don't seem nearly autistic enough these days.

TL;DR

As a 12 year vet (close enough) When i first started in eve my goal was to have fun with my friends.

my two friends ditched me for CLS, so my next goal became to learn to how to run a corp.

Then while in CLS my next goal became to make my own alliance

Then as the founding member of the Brotherhood(space)space)Of(space)(space)Steel alliance (yes the spaces were rediculus, the other founders wanted it that way..) my goal became to build up

Then when i retook control of the alliance after my honeymoon, it became to gain a constalation in null

Then when we were having issues securing the Kari pipe as UK fell to CVA, it became to not die

Then when i got an offer to move to Catch and be an IAC pet, it became to control my own constellation.

Then when i owned the Z-UZZN stantion and that constalation in Qurious, it became forcing all the other petting alliances there to bed the god damn knee to me

Then when bob came in and steam rolled us, and a blue set us red and the alliance collapsed, it became not lose everything i got currently

Then while in HS, it became rebuild my corp

Once that was done, it becaome live and make isk in wormholes

Then make a new alliance

then with The Last Brigade was around, it became own my own system...

and the cycle contenued.

ATM my goal is to build up isk. But i'm not very motivated and i'm waititng for citadels to do my next goal.

isn;t eve grand?

OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

Eve For life.
