EVE General Discussion

If that's truly the case, the future of humanity is going to suck, and it will do so within the next 60 years.

L3 mission agents ftw!

the game just moves too slow for me, I thought it could provide all under one roof, to attract faster phased games and slower phased tactical gamers... I'm sure it could work, one game could provide it all, fast action on the front line, slower on the metagame

someday I will enjoy eve, I'm sure, however its too early, I'm not that young anymore but, still to fast, to have fun with it now... it is moving to clumsy and thats why its frustrating me, although it could be cool someday... its the main reason why it does not attract young players that much

devs should still think about the arenas, I dont think it would harm the metagame or the other playstyles, just different people would play different parts of the game, like it is happening now

it all would lead to more players, I think that would not be a bad thing

o/

nope, just fuddy duddy people look at that, holding themselves up with details and not the meaning

I do not even look at others spelling, would not even recognice it if something is wrong there

grammar no important either as long as it is somehow readable

Be honest, you can't just pretend that Goonswarm didn't help that growth =P

All screwing around aside, this is a mature post. Thanks for that.

Presented this way, how you think isn't all that crazy. There are serious problems that I don't think you take into account when asking for a channge or additon. I think instant gratification content could introduce some nasty unintended consequences to this game.

Almost all the time people miss one simple fact: Most of the low quality stuff happening in EVE just happen because of the low quality players doing it. Nothing else.

Harassment doesnt happen because of broken mechanics, it happens because of broken players. In the most perfect developed game ever to exist there will be low quality interactions as long as low quality players are in the game.

I am not talking about unskilled players or inactive players, I am talking about players deliberately doing what they know will spoil the fun of the game for this is what they find funny. No mechanic that allow players to make choices freely will prevent players to do stuff to diminish its environment as a whole. Just like real life.

But it is funny that Empires of some well advanced race of human being capable of so much is so blinded to what could happen if you allow people to go around blowing stuff up in their backyard. Just like USA or England starting to allow people shooting other people in the face in the middle of their capital cities. This is a game and CCP can do whatever they want for whatever reason they want, but it is very interesting compare what they visualize as being New Eden in contrast to what it would really be if it was a real universe.

True that if you knew you were unable to die and had very little accountability, what eve is now is pretty much what reality would be. But the same way "immortal out of control" beings doing crime would soon have to face "immortal controllers" that would organize themselves. The problem in EVE is that the game doesnt attract that kind of player, and if it does, it doesnt excite them into combat.

Combat in EVE is not slow or fast, it is very dumbed down. As it is in almost every single MMORPG. Guild Wars 2 had a pretty good shot at it, but all the potential was spoiled for a simple reason: You need masses to be cost effective, and no game with good skill requiring dynamic and ever changing combat mechanics will have masses playing. Most people, like CCP said a lot in the early years of EVE, likes to shoot people in the face.

People have been in this game asking for so many dumb things over the years, like maneuver a space ship with some "flight simulator" base controls, like left-right up-down. Seriously ? If it was one or two people, but still recent posts asking that. Asking mechanics to be enforced to control behavior is equally dumb, it is just less obvious why.

After reviewing the thread, the amount of off topic posting, personal attacks, and lack of content have lead me to close the thread. Please keep all future topics on topic and full of good discussion. Thank you.
