EVE General Discussion

Because you are only considering the things that talk for your point of view and omitting those that talk against. Let me illustrate how i could easily get another conclusion with adding some information to your points of opinion:

you have heard that EVE has gone back to the bigger expansions , right? Like the comunity wanted. This is also why you feel there are less changes being released, and mostly minor changes. So big changes in expansions, and smaller features in the monthly'ish releases(like the december release).
I have earlier explained why I think the monthly releases are not named anymore, and why I think the big expansions will be (TLDR. to differentiate the two kind of releases). If the big expansion with citadels and capitals changes are named something mythical we would know, that I was right in that it is a marketing strategy and not a lack of focus, as you claim.

this just means they want to increase their revenue, has nothing to do with their focus IMO. Changing financial model is not a proof that they have given up on a product (it could mean it, it could also not, as it is not directly connected).

Well, tbh. it just means they focus a lot on the promotions of their new game they have developed (you know in order for it to be successfull). People on these forums seems to think that any focus diverted from EVE, could not be partially re-diverted later on. And tbh. this does not prove that they have left EVE to fall behind. It is a very narrow interpretation of the introduction of valkyrie. As the games cathers to two different types of players, I am not too worried about EVE. It is called diversifying your strategies/assets.

I don't think it looks as bad as you claim, when you bring more information into the picture. And I still think you have a tendency to read everything though a filter of pre-defined opinion. Which is why no matter what they would do, I am sure you would see it as a proof that are abandoning EVE.

The problem isn't EVE, the problem is STILL peoples expectations.

Not going to solve that one any time soon.

EVE is doing fine from where I am sitting, and tbh that's all that's important... to me :)

the way you see it, lucas please you know nothing about CCP's projects and the inner workings of the company, what are you smoking?
there ya go again assuming shite.



well Lucas who knows all,, how many devs are working on it? from what i see your saying you'd like CCP to drop Val and VR development because numbers dropped in this game. that's just lol and the drop in numbers is nowhere near panic mode. but drop development?? nuts whole hazel nuts



i work in IT, but hey lucas knows better, get off your orange box it's getting boring at this stage and there you go again assuming you know what CCP are doing. why does everything have to be a conspiracy with you lucas.
pretty much done talking about this with you at this point, you believe whatever you want lucas. it matters not.

Beleive me when I say that the last thing I'd ever do is 'hang out' with someone like you. In a game or out of it.

I said nothing about hanging out. I challenge you to a test of game skill, since you have chosen to believe that I don't know what I am doing. Lets put it to the test, lets show everyone that you aren't all talk. Because this is a video game, we don't even need to be in the same region or online at the same time.

You pick the activity.



This isn't about change. You know that. This is about your preferences. EVE doesn't match your preferences, and you want that to change.

It matches mine (and as you can see, others posting here), even through all the evolution it's experienced since I started playing. That is the difference here, I like what EVE is, you have problems with major portions of it. After almost 9 years I'm still finding new stuff to do. You've decreased your game playing to 1 or 2 hours per week, dropped accounts and found games that suit you better.



Not anyone Kell. YOU. Lots of people have differing opinions from me. Malcanis for example thinks Dinsdale is a nice dude once you get to know him, my forum buddy Kaarous thinks PVE is boring etc etc. Tippia and I have disagreed sharply several times.

But you, no sir, you are in your own league. You don't much care for EVE (and this is where you will deny this, but to recap, you have dropped accounts, play an hour or 2 per week, only post on the forums because of boredom and think Elite is more fun, all your own words), you've posted more in this thread than in the whole forum over a year of a game you do like. You try to be moderate when your views are actually radical.

You have a right to be who you are Kell. As long as you sub no one can keep you from posting the insanity you do, and I wouldn't even if I could. But you have issues brother and your views of EVE are useless.

IMO it's because replying to him feeds his victim complex, and I'm one of the most guilty of that. I'm honestly going to stop because I know that help for that kind of thing doesn't come from someone he doesn't know on the internet lol.

It's hard to do sometimes because you don't want people to think that what he is saying is true (it's not), but then I realized one thing. If anyone with any real power to affect things believes what people like that say, they themselves were hopeless to begin with lol.

Good. Off you trott then.

Except that would literally be jumping through hoops for you which I know you'd love as it gives you that feeling of power. Instead I'll just continue to point out that several years of daily gameplay is more than enough time to work out the best ways to do PvE multiple times over, and if you're still teaching yourself basic strategy, you are a slow learner. This is undeniable fact.

Of course it's about change. If it were just about my preferences, I'd be the only person with a problem with it. The fact is that games need to keep up with the markets. Yes there will always be junkies who stick around no matter what they do, but the health of the game isn't just down to retaining a tiny playerbase. Of course not all of it is the game changing and some of it is people's tastes changing, but it's still up to the developers to keep up with changing tastes. You're so resistant to change and so adamant that everyone else's opinions don't matter that you'd ride it all the way to the ground.

At the end of the day we both have opinions, and they differ. But I'm not going anywhere so get over it. I'm not going to get into yet another discussion (by discussion I mean of course me talking while you insult me) with you over whether or not you think my opinion counts.

Yeah yeah yeah, me and the other people you are constantly harassing through whatever it is they did that triggered you. At the end of the day the problem is yours. v0v

Then don't respond to them. If my views are useless then ignore them as you claim CCP will.

I have identified a change this forum needs. You can still see the posts of people you have on ignore when someone else quotes them lol.

Damn if Ralph wasn't right

So you've actually blocked me this time? For real? Like not like last time, but actually blocked? So when I'm having reasonable discussions with other people I won't have you putting your nose in and insulting me for not having the same opinion as you? Excellent!

Confirmed, CODE are teh EVIL lol.

What is this, a meeting of the EVE hater's club?
