EVE Information Portal

You know something?

If I was just joining the game on a trial, i'm not sure I would sub.

That is purely down to the docking scene, I'm fed up with it now, as a new player I would probably walk away.

The lights look, ok, why they only apply to some of the lights in the game and not all of them is slightly beyond me. The suns would have been the best place to start not the boosters that cannot change in relation to the ship or the in station lights that do not move, but its a small step in the right direction. but they are hardly the amazing graphical update that you speak of. The fact that v3 is still being rolled out is a bit weak, that started nearly a year and a half ago right?
In terms of the 'new event' i.e new sites that are the same as all the other sites but with different (not great) loot and different npcs, i have one thing to say that seems to be a concept of game design elusive to all the dev team at CCP:

LEVEL DESIGN

Its a thing, so I've heard.
All the sites or combat anomalies in the game involve the same thing. one piece of scenery, some bad guys and possibly a warp gate to another piece of scenery and some bad guys.
Create sites where there is a actually some movement involved or something that has to be interacted with a in some way, not just F1 get the loot, and create escalation style parts to more and more of the game, that (god forbid) might have some context given about who you are destroying and why.

My other main gripe:
I cashed out a PLEX for Aurum several months ago because the Tronhadar skins were added to the TQ client, and i wanted one for a sleipnir. Since then i have spent months waiting for a piece of code that will actually allow me to buy one from you, watching several other skins get released alongside your money hungry plex deals. There has been no warning, explanation or even mention of them yet loads of the are still not available.

More and more features seem to be being removed from the game without suitable replacements, and the rest of the game just sits and stagnates remaining as unchanged as when i started playing 5 years ago.

hey CCP...

this looks like a pretty gnarly feedback thread, so I thought I'd add some feedback around things other than camera.


- LOVE the new quality of life improvements to citadels - trading/contracts in our wormhole is just awesome
- LOVE the new lighting in the station/citadel, it looks amazing
- Tactical overlay changes . looks good


I'm a little underwhelmed by the fighter changes, but I've yet to do some further testing.

It does seem like we've lost something that encouraged people to undock in capitals at a small scale.

Previously, we had started using carriers for small gang action - it was so refreshing to be able have a carrier that had some punch. We lost some carriers and we killed some people with them, and I really hope that isn't a form of play that is already dead.

It was so much fun.


Overall though, thumbs up and cant wait for more!

Carriers now need some major TLC, they are in a very bad place now.

I think the redesign of the secondary attack on light fighters went entirely in the wrong direction, when all that was needed was the application change. They could have even done with a raw dps buff after the alpha on small targets was sorted.

Making the game look better is nice but as others have stated, form over function just doesn't work for the type of player who is into Eve. Instead of an animation try developing active navigation. It would only take 2 three digit entries to set a basic course in a 3d environment. Example: 230 Mark 025..... This would go far in making fleet movement more coordinated and add another layer of depth to the game. It would beat the SH*t out of conga lines. Scanning improvements might include wrecks so salvaging might become more of a profession and less of a side effect or after thought. Balance changes might include a realistic difference between small, medium and large vessels. High slot modules that allow 2 of a lower class weapon would then be possible... i/e 1 Battleship high slot fitting 2 medium cannons... This would allow larger vessels to realistically engage smaller vessels instead of relying on drone skills. The list of game changing/ improving possibilities are endless but skipping all that for the sake of shiny new fluff is not the road to an epic game play experience.

Hi again everyone,
Just a quick update on what we are currently working on in regards to the feedback you have given us so far: We are looking at combining several dynamic camera actions into a single toggle-able option, that will include the docking/undocking camera as well as some existing toggle-able camera options. Details about what will be included will be made available closer to release, which we hope to have with you soon.

Have a great weekend, and fly safe o7

This mysterious toggle will be called "Turn on OLD Camera" because new camera doesn't have good options.
Just a dream...

Well I mean Invert Zoom Direction is quite nice...

Wonderful ! You are making everyone happy

Now a next thing which could help us a lot is if we can undock and see as much space as possible in front of us instead of the station ;)
