EVE Information Portal

Good job on that event tab! Hell, its about time too!

This makes no sense since they aren't replacing anything. Adding new stuff to a sandbox doesn't make it less of a sandbox. You don't like it? Don't do it.

I want to like it.
It feels like they really took player feedback into consideration, and it was not the "bad" kind of feedback.

It tastes and feels like daily quest grind right now, which is something I have loathed in other games.

The outlook and chance of joining in on the Serpentis side remains to be seen how it will be implemented.

But in all honestly, I think all this "carrot on a stick" stuff is not a road you should be pursuing. I know you put in effort and all, so I will not call it a "bandaid fix." However, you try to tie the NPC world to the player in a superficial and "controlled" way instead of pushing it to be the living, breathing entity it should always have been. On the contrary, with all events you bring, you seem to unhinge the feel of the game world more and more.

Opportunities have been a failure to try to integrate players into the game.
Events structured like this might as well be a failure as players will only see the goals and rewards instead of what they actually should be doing.
Or when was the last time someone could paraphrase you the general content of the agent mission text after they auto-accepted the mission a hundredth time...?

"Loot chests" in EvE. This is the end.

Ignore answering questions you personally posed and answer a post with a very non committal, nothing to see here response.
Awesome, another Fozzie clone on the Dev team, respond in a thread and say nothing.

PS; How long does it take to learn to write something and say nothing...
Where is the information about this and maybe future events?
The blog is so vague as to seem it was written without any thought for its reading audience.

Coming June 28 - will be the introduction of an event BUT we're not telling you anything about completing it or what it is about. CCP's new mantra - Say nothing and pretend we are being informative.

Do not like



Do tell more

Would be nice if those of us with very high serpentis standing can have a serpentis story events. If only...

So is what is displayed on SISI what we can expect to go live?

Destroy "a" Drifter Battleship while piloting a Cruiser - 0/5 Drifters killed?

The first 4 "challenges" (killing a Drifter with a cruiser will certainly be that) don't even earn you enough for the first "reward", which seems to be a "Thorax"?

So how many of these will an individual need to complete to see, a Gila is it?

Looks Great. Like pie.

Doing it is fun. Explosions. Nice Graphics. promise of PVP. Like tasting Pie.

Once completed, i predict a certain gratification.

Once the pie is digested, blood sugar is lowering much faster than other food. because sugar effects. like drugs. this trains certain behaviours. (see adhd)

Now what happens if i eat too much of this "content"? "Fat and Lazy" and evtl. diabetes are long term problems.
The Lazy part is especially problematic, because many sand-box features are created around its absence.

Sugar is unhealthy for getting old (see EVE compared to other MMOs). CCPlease, DO NOT TRY TO PUSH SUGAR LEVELS TO PROLONGED HIGHTS!!!!
---
The minimum you can do is:
include long term industry into the process of getting a useful item out of the rewards!
Therefor isk/h will be balanced around long-short term activities.
(example: if putting out real (=/=bpc) ships and uncontestable (=redeemable) Loot its one-sided)
Add a way to play the passive-income-preparation game and participate like that! (example: deployable serpentis yards (with citadel defence mechanix but waaaaay smaller of course). planned setup, guard, defend, income over time. join the serpentis side!!)
---
Thats what i see when coming to SiSi to pioneer. Thanx for reading.

I don't see where these events will take us, can you give a location at all?
