EVE General Discussion

Dunno what fictional characters from the real life past have to do with this argument anyways.
I want to play internet spaceships
I WANT TO PLAY EVE
THATS WHY IM PLAYING EVE



I pay my $15
I have opinions (they may differ from yours but thats how forums work), Ive had ideas, Ive had suggestions, so I come HERE to express them. Forums ARENT only for people that agree with you bud

Tried it. Star Trek Online was pretty bad.

That's why I've come back here, hoping CCP can evolve EVE beyond just spaceships. If EVE doesn't evole, it will stagnate.

Perfectly fitting my point and there is nothing more to add great expression what is really the relevant points to this complete thing in regads to WiS and Eve all over all!!!

1. You imply just that.
2. No, it could not, because I will not leave EVE now either, will I? I like the space simulation as it is. I like the rough approach. So, honestly, I think they were looking for something else. Somewhere else. As said, I played WoT most of the day because I felt like fast, every minute PVP for a change. EVE doesn't give you that and people wanting that are in the wrong game, too. As said it is vastly more intelligent as a game. The other reason could be: You play a game for ages, you naturally get tired of it. You ignore all other paths said game has to offer you clinging to a concept like "end content" which is more WOW/STO fitting. Finally you leave. It will not be easy, as you leave friends behind, but you leave... And you find an excuse in Incarna. Which you can ignore at your own leisure.
3. For the same reasons it is not eventually. Name one of the planned things for winter expansion that will make prospective new players go "Hurray" or old players hold longer than a month.
4. Re-read my post in Eliza's thread and you will see we agree somewhat... But still the whole "We heard you, we go FiS now" is a lie!

And now I go to bed. Makes it easier for you to disagree with me.

We'll have walking in stations soon and on a machine designed for it.. the PS3 (yeah I dont' have one.. have the xbox so thats a wrinkile)

All the content will be there... let it happen in good time.. when feasible, find a way to let some percentage of the dust play be done on the pc....

... another option would have been putting out a run of the mill low resolution enviroment sorta on the level of global agenda (which is fun enough for me if it were a small sliver of a bigger game)

the PC and the Console are merging in the future anyway.. or whatever the predecessor will be called

where, precisely, did I say that I wanted EVE to stagnate and die?
Dont IMPLY it, QUOTE it





You ask why other players unsubbed than fill the reply with stuff about you. We werent talking about you, we were talking about others. Get over yourself please



Um the Incarna being shelved thing wants a word with you on that...

People are also turned off by it not being world of warcraft. Games that try to please everyone tend to fail horribly, and since eve is, and always has been, a space game, it stands to reason that the main focus should be on the space aspect.

I mean really, if someone were to say to you "Well, I don't really like the whole spaceship thing" do you really think that they'd get into, and stay in, eve were it to also have a little walking minigame?

Given how many people left after WiS was introduced, you really can't argue that it was a good idea on the CCP's part. Hell, look at how many people were pissed off that ship spinning was taken out. Most people who play eve do it for spaceships, and while WiS could have been a nice introduction, if it detracts from the spaceships aspect of the game (which it DID, because it ate up an absurd number of man-hours that could have gone to developing space stuff) it's going to be met mostly with hostility.



Rebalancing a weapon system that's used by a third of the ships (and half the races) in the game, as well as 4 new ships(which is pretty rare in and of itself), massive changes to the largest ships in the game, allowing smaller, newb-friendlier ships to compete again. I think that counts as something for the casuals at least. As for new people, if WiS was really going to be the thing to draw them in, odds are they'd not have stayed very long.

I'm not reading thru 12 pages for this...

THE UNDOCK BUTTON IS RIGHT THERE !!!

They don't need to respond, they know a lot of people want WiS and they know a lot more
people will join than leave when they finally get to launching the full version.

WiS and Dust are a ground breaking concept that will propel EVE and CCP to the next level.

Engine trails? And how is that adding more versatility to the game? That's not adding new content to expand game options. Personally I would rather have all buggy half finished content fixed before adding any more new content to this game. Even if it takes a few years. By the way, there's been a lot of good content added to the game within the past 36 months.

God, I'm really getting sick and tired of seeing close minded simpletons spouting garbage like 'Space Barbie' bla bla bla 'FiS' bla bla bla 'No content for 18 months' bla bla bla. Try looking outside the box.

FYI - I turned off CQ a few days after it's release due to all the problems. Doesn't mean I didn't like it nor do I want it removed from the game. I want to see it fully developed and integrated into Eve. I believe it has endless possibility's for adding lot's more depth and variety to game play. I've watched the CCP Videos with Dev's giving progress updates and demonstrations about Incarna and Dust.

Maybe I'm wrong but this is what I got from watching all those video demonstrations and interviews:

Incarna is a visionary step to turn a PC mmo spaceship simulation into a real time based sci-fi virtual reality.
Dust is a visionary step to turn a Console mmo FPS simulation into a real time based sci-fi virtual reality.
Joining these two totally different control applications together to work simultaneously would transform Eve Online into the ultimate real time based sci-fi virtual reality universe.

This should usher in a whole new era and revolutionize the gaming world as we know it.

As for new game play content, here's a couple of scenarios.

While in your Captains Quarters or in your ship, an alarm activates informing you an invasion force has attacked and captured a PI facility on one of your planets. You call up a Dust Commander and inform him to meet you in the war room of the Planetary Command Center to plan a counter attack and regain control. In the war room are 3-D visual maps of the Planet, the PI facility's and surrounding areas. You both examine the maps, verify the enemy position and mark the drop zones for supplies. After forming a plan of attack, you load the supplies into your ship while the Dust Commander rejoins his team who are waiting at the 1st drop zone.

You travel to the planet with the supplies loaded in your ship, enter into atmospheric flight and drop the supplies at the 1st drop zone. While en-route back to the station, you encounter a small blockade of enemy player ships. You make a call to your corporation and are quickly joined by a couple of Fleet mates. Small gang PvP combat happens in space while FPS ground forces engage each other.

As the battle in space continues, you receive a call from the Dust Commander requesting supplies to be dropped at the 2nd drop zone. You and your Fleet mates have almost killed all enemy player ships when more enemy player ships warp in and you find yourself locked and tackled. Dust Commander contacts you again saying they need those supplies now.

or

You log into the game with the sound of alarms going off in your Captains Quarters. The main viewscreen informs you that the station is under Security Lockdown (no docking or undocking) due to an Invasion force (Sansha?). You and other players trapped inside the station must go deck by deck, seeking out and killing all invaders encountered. Players must make their way to the Central Command Center to deactivate the Security Lockdown allowing access to the docking bay. Question is: What will you do? Do you attempt this solo? Create a gang with other players for tactical combat and support? Stay inside your Captains Quarters and hope somebody else deactivates the Security Lockdown?

There are many different game play possibility's that could happen. Just open up your mind and think outside the box. I for one hope and pray that CCP is successful in making their vision a reality for us to enjoy.

Then we can all say 'Eve is Real'.
