Upcoming Feature and Change Feedback Center

So its a fun game play mechanic that gets people to undock and provides an interesting way for people to try and get into fights ... but no additional log-ons, so no tangible 'improvement' to your bottom line. Thus, you axe it. Ridiculous.

What I am wondering, Especially about the metrics. Was CCP Ghost involved in anyways determining especially in analazing the data. Also of course aimed at player retention and new player experiences. I would love to get some info on that. Although I probably understand if thats a absolute No No for the time being

This was probably the best thing that happened for Eves new player experience in a while. I really hope you reconsider its removal. It certainly increased activity around Horde systems and made the new players more likely to stick around.

I can't help but think testing this during exams/finals season would affect the log ins anyway. I know that I surely would've logged in each day for 10k SP if I wasn't revising for exams.

I'm not understanding the logic of killing the feature just because it didn't produce the outcome you expected. At least leave this in place for characters that are less than a year old.

While I opposed the introduction of this iteration of daily opportunities, I am glad to see that CCP continues to try to improve the Eve experience. It's also encouraging to see CCP being willing to admit that a new feature is not having the desired effect. I hope the information gained from this even helps improve the Eve experience for all players.

I found myself logging in 2 alt accounts far more often and combining the Hunt with a trip through belts, mining, and some low level mission running. Probably an extra 2-3 hours of play time a week. Overall I think if they can combine it with some industry, PVP, and exploration activities, it would be a nice mechanic that benefits more play styles.

Talking to some new players in local in systems around Amarr and Isendeldik, most of them definitely said it was worth doing the Hunt to speed up skill training.

I agree that there is a lot of room for improvements in the EVE PVE experience. I stopped running missions years ago on my main account. The recent events have been a pleasant change. Plenty of PVP with the war.

I would like to add that often in EVE the barrier to logging in and participating is due to skill points. What if you had a type of program that granted you all the skill points you would need for any subcap ship once per month (or perhaps even just for new characters on an an account or returning inactives)? This could be limited to a few days to allow you to test out a new ship and fit and see if you like it. After the few days you lose the skill points gained temporarily but gain an insight into a different type of ship. This could also entice newer players to try out certain types of ships by buying PLEX. I am not sure if this would have a deleterious effect on the market, but it might be a cool way to get people to log into the game.

Perhaps the downsides to this that it might cheapen the feel of making choices and living with making the wrong ones and learning from it. Yet, this could also enhance the learning experience and bring more players into different aspects of the game. Further just imagine being a newer player and joining a Nullsec alliance and being able to fly a T3 destroyer on the first day! Again it would have a time limit but might be a very cool thing to do.

I didn't use the feature, heck, I can't even remember to keep a training queue going half the time :P But what I love about the OP is that it shows us a delightfully flexible and experimental mindset about game features from CCP and that is just wonderful to see. Seems to bode well for the ongoing possibility of keeping things fresh with new stuff being popped in here and there, then retired and replaced with something else new a bit later. The amount of stuff that's been changed/added to the game over the last two years is really staggering!

Well I was fine tuning some exploration characters that I would not have spent the SP on as I have more important things to do with the normal SP, this was giving me more play options and more reasons to log in wwhen I have the the inevitable blanket war dec. It is a pity that you removed this as it was also a major benefit to new players and those who are not so good at making ISK or cannot buy plex with real money. Thankfully I am getting near to the end of that fine tuning, focus was on drone skills, but I had not got them to use ECM drones yet which is a pity...

Oh well, it was good while it lasted.
