Player Features and Ideas Discussion

It allows you to multitask by literally not paying any attention to what is going on on the screen. Multitasking is fine. Occasionally looking away from chat or market to right click warp click jump is not a lot of work, so why make it that extra step easier. Plus, it makes booting ever so much more simple.

1) I picked an overly ridiculous analogy on purpose, because that's what this change sounds like to most people, but fine, instant transportation provided that the ship you were docked in was transportation ship (which CCP replaces the freighter with) and the place you were moving to was only X number of jumps away. Fixed. Continue adding stuff, I'll continue fixing the analogy, but in the end it's just as ridiculous as before because it destroys the gameplay, that's what your asking for. Maybe not for yourself, but for someone. If you want to find that someone, this topic is littered with them.

2) I've known people that enjoyed mining, they found it relaxing to sit at their keyboard and watch rocks melt. Don't ask me why, but if any of them would have suggested that it's repetitive and you might as well automate it nobody would have taken them seriously. Same here. Your asking for automation so that you don't have to sit at your keyboard and actually participate in the game. You want the same reward for less risk. Barring other people that want the same risk free environment why should anyone agree with you? Is there a broken game mechanic? Does it introduce more variety, more granularity into the sandbox? Does it increase our options in this universe and/or decrease the amount of influence CCP puts into the game? No, no, and no.

3) Yes they would. As I pointed out, autopilot in it's current form doesn't only slow you down on the one gate your on, but gives them time to follow you, plan your route, setup a trap, and gank you in it. This planning time is completely removed and your only hope is to catch them on the end. Some people maybe, I know most (the smart ones anyway) would figure out the time their route took, a program could be setup to calculate it if it's constantly changing, and set a timer, come back to the keyboard 30 seconds before you arrive at your destination. Your still not at the keyboard at all, it completely defeats the purpose of playing the game if all you do is come back every hour when you reach terminal station, unload, and set off again.

And no, we aren't (or at least I'm not) taking their desires into priority, I'm just saying that it should be recognized that they have valid arguments against it and you really have no valid arguments for it.

4) And so did warp to 0 :) it was before my time, and apparently before yours. There was a time when there was NO warp to 0, on autopilot or manual. People created thousands of bookmarks covering entire regions. CCP realized this was tedious and affected the server and so added warp to 0. You just have to be at your keyboard to use it. Also, PI (even after rework) is still a nap fest to me.

As a "high sec carebear" I say leave it as is.

If your ship and/or cargo is that valuable, then pay attention and fly it manually.

Empire is safe enough...there should be some room for "error" and facepalm moments.

you just trollin? I cant believe my eyes,,, a highsec carebear with a brain... what?

Yes yes, nobody's troll alt here.

I "survived" the learning cliff 2 years ago and enjoy some losec pew pew just as much as anyone.

No Drakes or Tengu's here.

"In Rust We Trust".

Okay, I warned people not to start with the slippery slope ****.

Okay, the V3 project which involves reworking all the new ships visually is a bad idea.

See, it starts with the V3 project, and then that'll raise subscriber numbers, and that'll encourage CCP to invest more and more in improved visuals, which will eventually lead to a dominant investment in visuals, which will eventually lead to a TOTAL investment in visuals, and CCP will move to creating 3D movies and Eve Online as a game will die out.

SUPPORT EVE GAMEPLAY, BAN THE CONDOR REDESIGN.

They why didn't they simply make the 15km distance radial?

As in, you warp to your target, and you come in 15km away in a random direction? There, I just kept WT15 and at the same time destroyed all WTZ bookmarks.

There is no reward from sitting in front of the keyboard for +1hr warping to zero +30 jumps depending on what you're flying. If you consider this a reward, then I'd have to conclude that some point in your life you considered a feast to be food scraps from the bottom of a dumpster.

This game needs a serious reduction in micromanagement. Warping to zero is just one issue. It would be much welcomed if CCP did change this. And they could do it in a way to reduce travel time while still retaining campers' ability to get their pound of flesh.

Reductions in player micromanagement would go a long way to improving the attractiveness of this game for new players and old alike.



CCP never wanted MT. But that didn't stop them from doing it?

aah.. amuzing read =)

You know what I realized? APWTZ would make the trade centers even MORE crowded, because gankers would all be waiting on gate in Jita &c.

FIGHT JITA LAG, FIGHT APWTZ!
