But never got around to try?

Have you always wanted to run Cosmos dungeons but never found one? Wanted to mine but didn't know where to start? Take part in a live event but couldn't find one?

Discuss.

I've always wanted to try out how it is to live in a wormhole for a few months.
Never gotten around to it though, but I imagine it's like the ultimate exploration experience this game has to offer.

Doing some exploration without getting annoyed about tons of signatures being "only" yet another wormhole or that tiny complex your ship doesn't fit into. :)

I would like to come across some of the legendary officer drops, but can't afford the time needed to do anything in 0.0. I also miss the existence of some sort of end game for people who have a life and play EVE rather than live to play EVE. Sad

I wanted to try FW but its underdeveloped and pointless.
I wanted to try Cosmos missions but they get bugged out a lot and again underdeveloped and pointless.
I wanted to do some low sec PvP but low sec has very little people there because theres no real reason to live there.
I wanted to do the epic arc, but its kept bugging out and locking me out.
I wanted to see the Gallente CQ, but its not developed yet.
I wanted to... I could probably do this all day.

But enough with the cheap shots agianst Zulu.

In all honesty Ive always wanted to live in NPC 0.0 and in a sense "become" part of the pirate faction(aka do enough missions to where your banned from the Empire). Sadly apathy set in and bittervet syndrome took its toll.

Live events sound like they would be fun. Not sure if they happen in my timezone though. Since I'm Aussie.

At one stage I was looking around for a wormhole to go into. But all the ones I looked in already had POS anchored.
I'd like a c1-c2 to live in. I'd have to get a large tower, so its harder for others to kick me out.

I always thought I should try the sister's epic arc at least once. Never got around to it.
I did 2 of the lvl4 epic missions. They were good.

I've always wanted to fly with some RL friends, but it's impossible to recommend the game to anyone because those who run it seem intent on taking it in the entirely wrong direction, ignoring the cries of their customers as they steadily unsubscribe.

Being part of a larger alliance of players, or at-least one that is organized and owns space.

I have spent a better part of my eve career being in small corps/alliance and corps/alliances that never own space.

me I've always wanted to take over the tri-state area, but Perry always stops me.

I've always wanted my own little spot, but high sec pos' are kinda crappy, low sec pos's mean pirates, and 0.0 poses require me to either be part of a major alliance or rent from them. I'd get lost in wormhole space but that get's old fast trying to do that by your self.


but right now what I want more than anything is to get a beta invite for dust.

I've tried most of the things I was remotely interested in

- nullsec (NPC and Sov), FW, lived in a WH, highsec, cosmos missions, l5 missions, trading...

Yet what I'd really ike to be able to do would be meaningful small scale warfare.

Imho, small gangs are the most fun to be had in this game, but from a strategic or financial PoV, they're pointless - there's no strategic goal that can be achieved and from a financial pov, it's mostly a losing bargain.

So I'd really love to see raidable moon mining arrays - we'd finally have an incentive beyond :goodfites: to get into a 10 man hac gang and fly somewhere into 0.0 - i.e. steal peoples moongoo.

Large powerblocks would be forced to actually defend their space against small gangs instead of jumping around supercap blobs like locusts, taking loads of space, setting up poses and then only log in to refuel them, jump/titanbridge and sell their goo.

only got to fight in a few massive dread slug fests. they dont happen anymore. but id liek to do them again.

6h of pure win fight was the one i remember. 1 siege cycle for the whole 6h, gotta love lag some times. my guns wasnt cycling, but that was fine as i was in a moros with dread 5 so my drones were awesom. that was before you nerfd my moros. can you put the 50% per lvl to drone damage back pls as well as making dreads worth while again.

tried almost everything else. nothing is as much fun as the pvp imo, everything else i do is to fund my pvp and accounts.

OMG when can i get a pic here

See this is why I don't understand you lot ..

Every time you talk about 'Eve' you come up with PVE and 'anti bear' bollocks that while having a place here, does not in any way capture the essence of what I and a lot of hardcore subscribers consider to be 'EvE'.

Why not use the examples of:

Founding a corp/alliance
Taking and holding Sov
Scamming
Pvp aspirations (solo, small gang, ewar, fleet, caps)
Manufacturing and industry (neglected whatever)
Faction war (redrawing the map in real time - which it is well documented you hate).

All the above and much more 'define' the 'essence' of what this game is about ie conflict, but you came out with .. WoW in space. Raids, loot, anti social nothing activities with no scale or cascade effect inclusive of other players/activities. Live events? For fucks sake man. The essence of that? Is what? Graphical DIKU or digital isolationism and retentive action par sperge-excellence?

Sorry, maybe I am just over-interpreting your usual terse and succinct posting style but bro. Do you actually 'get' this game? I sometimes wonder.

The passion of this game is conflict. The driver in every aspect of intensified play is conflict. Yet for a long time now you've been trying to turn it in to benign interactions based on socially inert grind.

Why?

Do the metrics tell you this will bring more subs? Even though all this 'content' is so thin and so dull that you can't entice a new player to hang around for more than six months?

Maybe I need to just chillax .. eh? But I wish you'd let Torfi handle this kind of stuff. He seems to have a vision of the game and a passion for the darker side of player interaction that, in my mind, better reflects what EvE is. You sir .. just seem like a marketing executive; one who is working for the wrong game company.

Just sayin'.

I would like more instant gratification and less training times. I want to try and train my tertiary characters. I want to try things in space I simply have no skills for. Forever waiting for my skills to train, I often wander to the lands of steam...

The only way is the metric. You should know that already.

Bottom line is: conflict as a business model is not comparable to loved up Elves and Pixies characterized by 14 year spergelords and middle aged housebound fatties of both genders. Making dasiy chains and holding hands brings home more bacon. Fact.

EvE is perverted from space bastards online to world of incredibly boring pve. Only CCP seems conflicted internally (no pun intended) over this; as a consequence they have basically failed to deliver a good experience for either cadre of hard core 'fans'. PvP as we have it was 'finished' years ago. And has not got perceptibly worse. The rest of the game is a stagnant mess of broken 'expansions'. As we all know and as is well documented.

Presumably they realized this 'content' and fotm demographic direction emphasis schyzophrenia would eventually just kill EvE and developed Sparkly Vampires Online to cash in on the aforementioned fatties JSA payments. Without losing people like me - who make up the majority of sad no-lifer plex buying addicts.

*shrug

W/e brah. My way is the only way. That and all the dudes paying their mortgages with sov mechanics. Yeah. You know who they are.

Everyone else is, in the immortal words of Edward Wilson, 'just visiting'. Init.
