EVE General Discussion

The way star citizen is going, I believe CCP doesn't have to worry very much.

Don't fix what ain't broken. You have a very easy ingame way of paying for the game. You just have to work at it.

Will people jump ship. You betcha. Heck logins dropped for CCP the night the batman movie came out, when a wow expansion dropped, when ffxiv relaunched.

People go play the new thing, cry when it isn't perfect, then return.

Eve is like a warm used blanket. You paid for it, stitched it up, and won't throw it out.

The only problem it requires grind for the majority of people. If you are space rich off the backs of others, then you don't need to log in only so often, but there are only a handful of people who fall under that category.

I think I would enjoy EVE more if I didn't have to log on as much is what I am trying to say.

But CCP will have none of that.

Oh joy another prole with a business plan...

At current prices, a single plex costs 20.5 mil isk per DAY. That's 20-25 minutes per day in a null sec anomaly like forsaken hub if you are flying a crappy t1 BS or attack battlecruiser.

Hell, doing ONE site in non-shiny HQ incursion fleet flying a tech 1 BS pays 31 mil + lp. You could literally join a high sec incursion fleet, run ONE HQ site with them per day and at the end of the month you could buy a plex and have STILL have a quarter bil+ isk left to spend on space-hookers and space-blow.

And you would enjoy a game more if you didn't have to play that game as much? At what point do you realize that the game in question is not your cup of tea?

Will EVE support walking in stations and Occulus Rift support in 4 expansion?

Well there is Valkyrie, but that's not EVE really and will most likely be F2P.

Yeah there is too much hype and people are spending $1000 on ships in a game that doesn't have anything other than a hanger which you can walk around and gawk at space pixels.

The thing is though, some of us have low expectations... Hell... War Thunder and World of Tanks has better gameplay than EVE but it lacks strategic depth.

You only need slightly better gameplay and somewhat of a strategic depth to achieve success.

War Thunder and World of Tanks and League of Legends have more players than EVE, but they aren't really competing. Sure I might play one of those games for a few hours, but it lacks the depth of EVE to warrant spending most of the time on it.

The issue is that if you have a game that has superior game play AND strategic depth then you'll stop playing the other game.

But the truth is we don't know other than the development promises, but I suppose they aren't going to fail because lack of money. People are just throwing hundreds of dollars at that game.

Anyways, I think that Star Citizens success or failure also rides in the success of the Occulus Rift.

I have a suspicion due to the reviews of people on youtube that I saw is that when people get a rift, they will stop playing games that don't support it because it seems more realistic and immersive with the Rift.

CCP has noticed this so that is why they started Valkyrie and demo the hell out it with the Occulus Rift everywhere they have an event.

I don't like null politics and I don't trust WH corporations. Also I hate mission running and ratting much less incursions.

Also, if people are buying plex to sell for isk it means there is a good portion of the player base who don't earn enough isk to warrant actually buying the plex.

Also personally, I can earn 2-3 plex's every weekend so its not like I have to log in every day.

I mentioned before I actually plex'd 3 accounts til January 30 so I might as well be playing.

Actually... I should check my market orders now.

And truth be told I sort of do enjoy the process of making the isk. Its just that I believe the majority of players who buy their plex do so through grinding of certain actives like missioning which seem like a chore.

It just feels like I have a 200lb on my back to make sure I earn enough isk all the damn time even though I don't.

I just don't like the idea of having to play all the time even if its only 2-3 days a week. I sometimes like to take breaks for a month and do other things for a bit. I want to be free to not play the game when I choose not to.

'2) CCP sells character slots, ship paints, golden pods and more clothes and stuff. Basically, CCP sells as much as it can that doesn't have an impact on gameplay.

As they improve the game more people play and buy cosmetic items and CCP get richer.'

I can see that quickly degenerating into 'Evetropia'. What fun that would be.

You could be spacerich off the backs of others too but you chose not to.

Its the only MMO to have a decade of growth.

To the OP, aren't you that doucheag CCP hired from EA?
