EVE General Discussion

Just to clarify something: Just because we're hiring into Dust doesn't affect the total number of slots working on EVE. If anyone jumps to another project, that slot will be re-hired (Fozzie was a re-hire for a Dust transfer for example).

The tl;dr is that the expansions will continue churning at an unchanged pace.

Soundwave out

But heh - you have got to admit that whoever named it DUST deserves a medal - it is exactly what it (and their money) has become...

Truly prescient

That's pretty cheap by Noble Exchange standards

But seriously, hats! Where are they?

Take the Revenant for example.

Totally been done before by CCP

omg yes this i'll take 3!

I bet it keeps you up at night; thinking about how much more you could have done with Eve if you had all the resources they used on Dust.

What are the top 5 things you would have used the extra resources to add to eve in the last 3/4 years?

You move the only reasonably okay eve dev to the **** game? yeah that will turn out well for eve. No wonder kill2 has been doing ******** things when it comes to ships.

What I fear worst of all is.....what about the children? Who will take care of them?

What resources?

Sandbox game with the reason why sandbox games get such negative PR -- lack of content, as the players are the types that like unfinished, non-polished games and fight to keep them so. Rather tinker in the grim, than taking a hot shower and change that underwear.

Jesus A. Christ. You have devs moderating the game forum. That's how much EvE operates on a shoestring (let alone how bad game mechanics are if they can't trust anyone else to do the job), it can't even have a community manager let alone moderators vetted enough to be trusted to moderate their own forum.

Get those heads out of the sand, and look at the bigger picture.

It has about as much in common with a well grounded FPS as Minesweeper does.

That's its problem: As a shooter game, it gets none of the basics right, which means nobody cares about the one marginal gimmick that it has which other shooters don't. As IGN put it, the entire sum of the "EvE Connection," seen from the perspective of a DUST player, is "not particularly distinguishable from Modern Warfare's predator drone."

It has doods running around with guns. In that sense, yeah, it has at least two things that you expect to see in a shooter. Beyond that, as a shooter, it is uninspired and badly done. CCP has done nothing up to his point, and has shown nothing coming on the near horizon, that is going to change the fact that it is baffling, frustrating, and annoying for non-EvE players to get into, and it offers no discernible reward in return for the effort demanded by its stupidly high learning curve and punishing grind.
