EVE General Discussion

I think the game has come to the end of it's life cycle for my gaming needs.

I've played for 8 years nearly and in that time it's gone from being an incredible MMO to one that has become mundane.

The current meta is for:

Bring a frigate - we'll bring 2
Bring a logi - We'll bring 2
Bring a cruiser - we'll bring battlecruisers

You get the idea, I just think there should be more differential between the tiers to ensure if this is the mentality of eve's loyal customers, more reward goes to those that seek out even battles. the n+1 mentality, fighting low risk battles and content should be long in the past of the game.

Find a way to accomplish that and the game might just become interesting again.

1. take down KB's i think it indirectly causes people to not go out and experience the game or come up with a different way of showing a "leader board".
2. find ways to make the game more interesting in an arcade feel. e.g. kill 10 different pilots of different corps/alliances solo, now kill 30 solo.
3. just do something about Ewar- anything the mechanic is awful.

1. A rework of the criminal system.
Right now, ganking is incredibly easy and the current punishment system is pitiful if the gank is successful (Which is 90% of the time). People say mining is the safest profession. Honestly, I think its ganking, you die, but you regain your ship + profits in loot, and who cares about sec status? People roll alts anyway.

2. Bounty hunting.
While I personally have no idea how to fairly fix this, it sucks right now. Completely pointless.

3. WIS

4. Blow up alot of nullsec gates creating more pockets and pipes, allowing players to construct their own Gates instead when that comes around, so they can create their own networks, they should be destructable of course.

1. Wardec system - This is basically legal ganking. Would put a cap on wardecs a corp/alliance could initiate. Probably something like 3 for a corp outside an alliance and 10 for an alliance. Make it to where you can't join an alliance when you are in a wardec that you initiated. Give every corp a sec status, decing a corp with a much higher sec status lowers your sec status (And all pilots in the corp), decing a corp with a much lower sec status raises your corp sec status.

2. High sec ganking - Concord should confiscate loot from kills in high sec where concord was summoned to the fight.(No loot for gankers) Basically not changing the ganking mechanics but making it not profitable to suicide gank in high sec space.

3. Mining - Hasn't changed since the beginning of Eve and is boring... would make it more interactive.

1. Introduction of kick ass space pirate hats
2. moar variations of kick ass space pirate hats
3. A special kick ass space pirate hat just for me

1. Remove learning implants. Maybe different attributes as a whole. It gives no benefit for gameplay and hinders some skill affine persons to enjoy the game. Was the greatest archievement in dust514 to have a skill system without those damn attributes.

2. Introduce more walking in stations. Great opportunity to catch more people, increase income for ccp without touching existing gameplay. HURRAY! Think of better quarters for real money, trophys in sites you can put in your room et cetera.

3. Don't know.

May I ask why?

So more like real life in the sense that once you've been in jail you're flagged for life? Even after you pay the fine you still have a medal showing whom your crimes were against. Wouldn't mind seeing Concord be weary when you enter system and follow you to make you behave in it's spaces too. "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime" sort of way.

PVP, PvE, risk averse, risk intensive. Sounds like we would like to pick our fights and play styles. Also sounds like you are being "encouraged" to change your game through game evolution and or what other players do.

I too would like to choose how I play and not be required to engage in play styles I did not select.

PvPers predominantly get to choose where when they PVP. There are of course some exceptions such as Concorde and Incursions. PvE players initially get to choose what they do. However, that can end abruptly should a PVP player show up and decide for the PvE player that they will now be doing PvP.

There are mechanisms in use that provide some element of control. PvE Missions for example restrict ship types.

Here are some game add in/changes that may provide more options

Add in 1: A variety of PVP missions with specific parameters.
Add in 2: Additional Environments, Spec'd out Arenas for open PvP like Alliance Tournament
Add in 3: Dedicated Co-Op PvE environment

These areas would be transited to/from main game environment same as Wormholes High Sec etc. Existing game environment would still interact with new environments at the transition points.

Since these are add in ideas the existing EvE environment would be unaffected.

Inferior grammar skills.

Hostile intent.

Request denied.

1: Toxic pvp player
2: pvp player who clain eve online is only a pvp game
3: pvp player who force you to play pvp when you don't want

And i will add a last one : old player alliance who don't want the game evolve
