EVE General Discussion

Now if you had to ask people about a single Pen and Paper franchise most people would just look confused and then evaluated if you where dangerous to their person or just a bit strange.

Those who know about one would state D'n'D and the majority would recall it as a fad back in the eighties known for the rumours related to satanism and teenagers committing suicide.

I know WoD, and I've played various variants for many years.

But calling it a "huge franschise" is just ridiculous ...

You are missing my point.

The number of people who have any idea of what D&D is, much less any idea of the editions and of other companies involved are a very small group of people.

A very nice group of people, and dare I even say a very smart and intelligent group of people (at least that's how we like to see ourself).

But still a very limited market ;)

…so, much like Warcraft, then.

You seem to have short term memory loss, the universe now exists in 3 dimensions, you warp directly to the star gates in-game, the V3 was completed on the entire series which was a larger project than even Trinity.

You forgot the faction Super carrier, the massive PVE content required to create it, and it's fighters.

You forgot to mention the complete overhaul of every exploration site.

You forgot to mention the exploration system redesign.

You forgot to mention the removal of RMT. (Almost Entirely)

You forgot to mention the removal of Botting (Almost Entirely)

You forgot to mention the hundreds of ships that were not useful balanced back into the meta.

You forgot the revolutionary creation of time dilation.

You forgot Planetary Interaction

You forgot POCOs

You forgot Dust514 integration.

YOU FORGOT DUST514... another LINKED game with hundreds of hours of game play.

YOU FORGOT 6VDT, NEVER FORGET!

You have massive short-term memory loss. The Good old days were good, but CCP has been loyal to it's customers for years now (July 2011, we are well past July 2013).


The Goold Old Days have come again, EVE's second decade is looking at least as revolutionary as it's first.
Watch the CCPgames channel, and I DARE YOU to tell me there is no content:

We'll just bring more catas mate. We adapt. We survive. You die. You cry.

Who are the arseholes and where have they dictated every aspect of the game? The EA guy was brought in because CCP felt that he fitted a position they had available, now I don't like EA, they've ruined many a good franchise but to tar all of their ex-employees with their rightly deserved reputation is a bit harsh.

If you're giving out "pro" advice you really should establish your credentials first, without them you're just another idiot with what are probably terrible ideas.

As for the Catalysts, sure remove two guns, where people used to bring 3 they'll bring 4, and things will still die to them.

Please do give us your input on what real consequences should be, the guys at CCP are getting paid to develop the game, I'm pretty sure that they're better at doing so than you are, as evidenced by their employment at CCP.

Sov is borked, CCP know it and have stated in the past that it is on the agenda to fix, the Sov landlords know it and are doing what they can with a toolbox that's half empty.

Lag is a side effect of having thousands of players on the same server, CCP introduced TiDi to compensate for some of it and there's probably more in the pipeline. It's not a problem that is unique to Eve, many games suffer lag.

CCP and Eve have been around for 10 years, while catering to the people you call "dicks", subs have grown year on year with only the occasional hiccup. Think about that, 10 years of continuous growth, most MMO's spike initially then die or go f2p/p2w within 2 years, CCP are obviously doing something right.

That lame board game that came with the collectors edition? That financed the initial development of Eve, without it you wouldn't be spewing your crap all over the forums.

What course do you recommend? I'm sure the people at CCP who direct such things will be happy to listen to your "pro" advice, and hopefully file it under G for garbage.

When you eventually quit, I'll be happy to handle the reallocation of your stuff.

I saw the title of this thread and thought "Oh, I better go an welcome the newest CCP employee. But isn't "CCP Layoffs" a weird choice of name"? Who is his cubicle mate, CCP unemploymentcheck?

trolltastic.



arguably true, but you need to keep in mind that for years players had asked CCP to stop with new jesus features and to instead focus on fixing and improving existing content. Which they did spectacularly. New content has come in smaller chunks among other major updates. As long as the game is getting better, I'm less concerned as to whether that comes in the form of new content or improving existing content.



Article says layoffs were just at Atlanta. The departure of Flying Scotsman is not necessarily a layoff.

Also, dust has made some serious strides in the last 6 months, both technically and content-wise. Get your accounts today and start accumulating that sweet passive SP. Evemail me if you want a referral link that gives you some bonus starter gear.

Dang, and here I was hoping that they were laying off all of the CSMs ... well, except for that one EvEUni guy. He's cool.
