EVE General Discussion

Dear ccp
as you can clearly see I am no where active on the forms but I finally feel its time to raise a point and ultimately an affirmation of where not only you want to go but where we will will go
my question is simple
why can we not expand the game in all directions vs only making the game easier for new people while leaving us older players to see what we have worked so hard to obtain to no longer be what we wanted
like the most disappointed kid at Christmas

I can completely understand the logic of making the game easier for newer players
the eve life is hard and complicated
and frankly quiet daunting
but why must we all whom have played for years suffer to people who have never played or only just started it feels like to me personally that all you care about is getting that subscription number higher

why would it be so hard to develop content for both sides of your experience ladder
make challenges for us older players
instead of us dealing with the same.old bull crap but with more and more missing limbs
it almost seems like a cop out or something

I know there are talented people there at ccp and it is my dream to work for you guys once I've obtained my college degree
but what is do wrong about bring something harder then incursions or making new space where no one can guess where or what will follow
I know I dont know hardly anything about design process yet
but I figured if I didn't speak up
then I can't complain about the direction

so to sum it all
make certain aspects easier
that is a necessity I understand for new players to feel like they can tackle this game in due time
but
bring more challenged to us older pilots
we will tackle anything you can bring to the table
no matter the circumstance
we will find a way
we who are like the water of new Eden will continue to rise to your expectations
we are capsuleers
now bring it

He isn't use to forums. Jeez didn't you read(cause I didn't past that part).

Erm... OP? Are you alright? I hope so. I just wanted to let you know that CCP has never stated that their intention is to focus solely on new players, excluding those players that have been here for a longer period of time. CCP has stated that they want to completely re-do the new player experience so that it better reflects what EvE is all about, including stopping the current trend where a new player joins the game and if they stay(which is unlikely, since so many leave) they are much more likely to only play solo, doing PvE and to not interact with others. These new players become not so new players that are more likely to leave after a relatively short period of time. CCP would like to see these new players [i]NOT/i] become purely solo PvE players, but instead to become players that interact with others and explore more or, even better, all aspects of EvE before settling on those areas that they enjoy, and to enjoy those areas with a diverse group of other players.

With a game that revolves around player interaction, focusing on newer players can have a residual effect on older players, without the need to simply add more "endgame content".

I think a poster above hit the nail on the head with any ccp content losing it's challenge when it's well known and guides are published and optimised.

If you want a real challenge load up on ammo and go dismantle that blue doughnut I keep reading about.

let me know how it goes :)

I stopped reading at "easier for new people" obligatory "EVE-learning-curve.jpg"

Decado
...what blue doughnut....

I live in America, and can confirm a good chunk of Americans can't even speak English correctly on a good day.

Actual genuine lol. Have all of the +1s
