How is the New EVE store even worse than the old one?

What is this man? What's going on up there? Tell me you had an intern work on this. Tell me you outsourced this to India. Please tell me that you guys aren't really this out of touch with the EVE community.

Just look, what do we got in apparel? The stuff that doesn't just say "EVE!" on it is crap that nobody wants. Death to supers is cool I guess if you're in PL or something, but the rest of it is just terrible.

Players, am I right in asserting that nobody wants this stuff?

Actually, I never looked until you linked it. I really like this maintenance ledger...

Thanks for sharing! Smile

The Musterbrand jackets were great. Why not bring those back?

Oh, I clicked yesterday the ad in launcher and it seems store was offline then. I tried few times again after some time and it was offline still. Today it works. Only troubles with this store.

It's done with the typical "that'll do" frame of mind that has been plaguing CCP for years.

what would be your ideas for top selling t-shirt designs?

Domination Nephilim - Angel Cartel

Calm down miner. As you pointed out, people think they can get away with stuff they would not in rl... Like for example illegal mining... - Ima Wreckyou*

Easy. Bring back Musterbrand.

Pirate faction logos
Faction logos
Ship pictures
PermaBand shirts
A cool representation of the map with a "my universe is better than yours"
Aura messages
"Incarnage survivor" (do it)
blue donut
Standing icons, possibly with text
Aura
A pod (I'd kill for that)

Just off the top of my head, put them on all the things.


Also: "My other car is a [ship name]" Bumper stickers

I see no spaceships and no factions stuff, nothing about CONCORD. There were some pretty designs with them years ago. So maybe stuff with those designs.

And maybe Quafe in bottles. I made myself one and I still have it on my shelf. Lol
Also I have a physical PLEX I made with my portrait, and I keep it too.

Id have to add hats. Fitted baseball cap designs with the pirate faction and empire faction logos on them, both in the middle on white and black and also half on the brim and half on the hat slightly to the side hopefully on a hat of complimentary solid color.

logo in the middle

logo on the side


I would also kill for high res images of most items in Eve for a small nominal one time personal usage fee. Mostly for personal giclee prints. By high res I am referring to 1-2000x 1-2000 or more dpi prints.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Had to end sometime.

I'd probably buy stuff, but there's no way i'm prepared to pay that much postage to the UK..

I'll get some goodies from fanfest in a few weeks.

Isn't that pretty much true no matter where you shop? Hell free shipping was the only reason I'm on amazon prime. The streaming is a bonus.

More Quafe themed stuff
"I'm in a Rokh"
"This is a Templar, the amarr fighter. Its a combat drone used by carriers."
"Two ships enter, one ship leaves"
"o7"
something about the Friendship
"Warp to the dancefloor"
"Killing is just a means..."
"Harden the **** up!"
Something about the wrecking machine.
Highsec/Lowsec/Nullsec themed stuff
"Not purple? Shoot it!"
"Not blue? Shoot it!"
"Not red? Don't shoot!"

just brainstorming here, but it's easy to come up with better ideas than there are in the store.

edit:
"Did he say jump?"
"Hold cloak"
"Cloaky camper" <- wear this alongside a cloak.
"Not Cynobait"
A shirt with a "classic" mission raven fit in EFT format on it.

Neuntausend gets it.

"WOOP WOOP" It's the sound of the space police!

How about shirts with pictures of badass spaceships on them. No there's an idea!

How about a black collared shirt with an orange triangle on the right sleeve with "II" in it.

CCP out of touch with the community?

Naaaahhhhh they are all hardcore eveonline players, they know their own game perfectly well.

I like how at least half of it is for their obscure non-EVE games that nobody cares about. They may as well load it up with Dust 514 stuff (and I suppose they still could.) Half the clothes are straight up ugly. The tees are bland, trite, self indulgent. The beer glasses make me want to buy a beer, not buy a glass. And it looks like they have a surplus of convention lanyards! \o/ I guess it's for fanfest for people who want to cosplay as an EVE fan. :P

Maxim 6. If violence wasn’t your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it.
