EVE General Discussion

I can only guess that CCP is "simplifying" things in order to attract more folks.

The only problem is they grew every year for 6 years, until they stopped giving us stuff for FIS.

Simplifying stuff makes the game worse, not better.

Just keep doing what you did with the last patch, and you'll see the subscriber base grow.


I can see this going bad places....

life-bars instead of hull/armor/shields... that'd be simpler too....

When you mine asteroids, instead of ore going into your hull, isk drops into your wallet.... that's ****-tons simpler...

Fitting ships is too hard, so get rid of all modules and have each ship hard-coded with turrets/launchers, ecm, and tanking abilities.

If you do that, then you can name ships properly

Caldari Long Range ECM battleship I
Minmatar sacrificial tackling frigate II
ORE Ice Mining Vessell II - Mackinaw
Nomad -- Minmatar Freighter I

so much simpler. So much better. Right?

Just change the names back, kinda like the turret icons. like ya shoulda done with the fonts *grumble*

wrong answer is wrong.

it's not going to bring in paying customers. Unless this is all to prepare for the FREE TO PLAY CROWD, and if that's the case, then bravo, you've done exactly what you need to do.

...or then there is some noob renaming stuff who hasn't even played the game and thinks it is "hard".

pls elaborate.

that's just not true.

it's more challenging to swim thru that pool whilst dodging the random stuff, therefore removing some of the random stuff effectively dumbs down the process of swimming thru said pool.

try again.

OP is an idiot.
Also, they should read up on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

I, too, could say that CCP are going to replace all offensive modules with a single 'Shooty Shooty' turret, and then claim that the above will happen because a few modules have been renamed.

However, I won't, because I have a functioning brain, whereas the OP is about as intelligent as a sack of potatoes.

It does not take much, to make a mistake, but a whole lot to admit it.

I wonder if CCP has what it takes, this time.

People get a self-entitled feeling of a accomplishment when they're able to understand something that is overly-complicated, with parts and mechanisms that serve no purpose other than to confuse, annoy, or slow the user.

Basically you're bitching that they're removing the bits that had no purpose other than to stand in the way of playing the game. I'd say the subscriber base will go up as long as they keep doing this, as one of the main complaints about eve is navigating all the useless crap in the game.

Remember learning skills? Yeah, good riddance.

No the five people who care won't be able to convince CCP like that.

THEY SHOULD MAKE FIFTEEN EACH AND EACH ONE AFTER THE OTHER NEEDS TO BE FARTHER AWAY FROM REALITY THEN THE LAST!

Missiles have been renamed EVE is Dead.

I can take or leave the overly complicated names. Pretty much everything in Eve comes with this little blue button or a right click and hit 'Show Info' and viola...no real confusion. Most people only memorize the meta 4 modules they use instead of T2. I don't actually care what the names are- it's just something to remember later, and again, comes with a Show Info option......

That said, having actual names for things is more interesting than the bland designations of RL military equipment. Because I have at my fingertips this god-like ability to open a box who's sole purpose is to explain in great detail everything relevant about any given item/ship/module in the game- I really didn't need the dumbing down of item names either.
