http://www.eveisreal.net/#!/image-contest/detail/92739 this is how it should look like in a battlefield (ie missioning, incursions)

Give thumbs up if you would like to see the visual aspect of the game be prioritized

Eve is lacking this kind of background that would give an immense amount of depth and perspective visually.

more examples:

What the crap are you talking about?

Those pictures are all from Eve.

If you want Eve to look like that, stop being afraid of losing your ships and actually pvp.

No one cares about PVE in Eve, and if you do you are playing the wrong game.

ok I respect you opinion, now can you please let the people who cares about PvE talkLol

and sorry if i was misleading, but i mostly meant that this kind of background should be more often in missions / incursions, but other than that i dont understand your argument, it sounds lame

We have people always try to push people to go PVP, but they generally fail.

We have people helps noobs and carebears about isk grinding and enjoying the PVE, but a lot of these noobs finally goes PVP.


Think about it, if you were them, will you follow your order such as "stop being afraid of losing your ships and actually pvp"?

Who cares? If the game is boring, they just quit.
If the game is fun, they will try to find some more.

EVE PvE is dull. Making it look shiny is not going to change things.

Making the game visually stunning is always something of a priority for CCP. They've been consistently updating and improving the graphics in the three expansions I've seen released. If you read the dev blogs they routinely talk about graphic improvements alongside gameplay.

Now if you're suggesting "make it prettier" be the TOP priority for CCP, I suggest you kindly keep your ideas to yourself. There are a LOT of things that will make this game more fun to PLAY, instead of just looking at it.

PvE won't ever look like that because you don't see PvE fleets larger than about 10 ships, PvE is usually fought at range, and the play style for PvE generally has you spend a lot of time zoomed out and looking at tiny icons instead of seeing the scale of the ships.

While I'm not one to tell you to go PvP if that's not what you want to do, in this case I think it's true: the epic fleet battles and in-your-face visuals are in PvP because PvP naturally produces more of those images.

I would support this.

The thing is, you will never see those kind of stunning displays in actual pvp fleet action. It's always lagged to oblivion, with swarms of drones around, and blobs of tc/eccm/amp effects butchering whatever remains when you turn off brackets. If CCP alleviates lag, fleet size will just increase until lag is again achieved.

Some pve eye candy of what we don't get to see in pvp isn't exactly a bad idea. Obviously those will have to be just LCOs for window dressing, since actual people would produce lag and warrant extensive gameplay change for pve.

it will change things for the beginners in the game, they are the ones who suffer though the visual dulness fest.. I say, stop making station environments shiny (only for a few weeks period) and start making the outside environments shinier, just give it a little love baby

Any real beginner in Eve is in a Rifter tackling the ships in fleets exactly like those the OP linked.

Here's a better idea. Instead of making PVE look shiny, why not make it fun?

I think there are more important things to 'fix' or improve other than the graphics right now.

At least with the current graphics the current load on the computer and the internet is really really small.

indeed. pve needs to get dynamic and pve needs also to come to the players, not always vice versa.

why dont npc blockade a station or come in considerable numbers to a gate making you consider using it? this would affect your game play big time and depending on your standings they would interact differently. and this would allow pve and pvp to blend. how does everyone behave when also players' enemies warp into the fight? give standings meaning ...
