EVE General Discussion

Yeah i was around for incarna and it sounds like i have a better grasp on the situation than you. The outrage surrounding incarna came from CCPs failure to deliver what was promised while at the same time, leaving broken parts of the game untended to.

If CCP delivered what they told everyone they were working on for the past few years, the the summer of rage would have never happened. Unfortunately after years of developement all we got was one room and some £50 pants so it is no wonder people quit.

Seriously, go and do your own reaserch because I'm to here to prove anything to you. There was a recent article on one of the news sites that indicated that patches without content have trouble keeping new players.

If you love the game already and the slight improvements are improving your experience, i'm very happy for you. I'm simply bored with doing the same old stuff over and over again, and doing that stuff even more ("go out and create your own content") won't change that.

All i want is something new and fun to do while i wait for ccp to fix the old parts of the game.

Okay, you explained what you meant more clearly here and i agree with you. Fingers crossed that the industrial patch will bring about those sort of changes.

I have an industry alt and if these changes improve the industry game a lot, it might keep me from quitting.

Did not read all the replies, and some that I glanced at were a tad annoying... but I digress.

To the op:

So let me see if I understand you correctly... you are complaining, because they are fixing issues and old features, but instead you want them to add new features...

Let me give you a brief history lesson. As a 10 year straight vet, who has been here since nearly the start, I am some insite.

This was EVE:

"Hey guys, this new expantion, we are calling Exodus, we are letting you form alliances, and giving you star bases so you can claim 0.0. We are also bringing dreads to shoot the star bases. You will be able to claim sov. In addition, we are brining in new mining barges, and then comet mining, oh! and system wide asteroid belts to accomidate, as we would like to add other things but we will see"

a few weeks late " Unfortunatly guys we have to cu comet mining, not enough time to do it right, but we will look at it soon(tm)"

a few more weeks "Unfortunatly we have to cut system wide belts, the servers will melt, but in the future we will do it"

two weeks before release "Unforunatly the dread has ben changed, some of the stuf we said it could do, yea we cant"

one week before "oh man we need to move this feature of alliances to another expantion, sorry guys we will work on"

months after relase "oh we know pos bashing is annoying, yea we will have to think of something a bit later"

A few years later: "Guys we are making this new game called dust, in order to accomidate all the stuff we want with dust we are giving you this new expantion that has to do with interacting with planets, you will use the dust mercs to conquer other players stuff, and what they are shoot is stuff you guys placed. This will also tie into sov and change things up it will be great!"

few weeks before launch "oh no we scrapped all that, here is the new pi, we will look at it soon"

a few years later "Oh yea we are changing sov, you need these new devices, and then they will be dynamic so we can add more stuff later, and this will help us revamp the pos system, its going to be awesome when all is done, this is just the first step! We also are changing contracts and giving you treaties!"

few weeks before launch "Treaties are out, we will tackle them next time, and the other sov stuff will come later we have to try tthis first"

The point is, CCP would make a feature, not have the time to finish what they want, so they would give us the bare min, then leave it and move on to something else.

So in essence what you are saying is 'Yea eve is stagnating because ccp is FINALLY fixing things that have been broken for years, but screw that, I want more broken new stuff that will drive me nuts in a few months, then more broken new stuff on top of that!"

The future of eve, looks damn good. If they fix the old and broken, then they an make way for new stuff, that is actually fully done and fully working. That's a big if though. But you are esentually a noobin who has no idea what your talking about.

For CCP to introduce new content they need a solid base to build it upon.

That solid base is what they are currently building by fixing all of the stuff that they've left broken or unfinished because somebody thought that Jesus features, that like everything else are left unfinished or broken, were a good idea.

For someone who claims he has experienced everything ...

... I wonder why nobody knows you then.


Because in EVE, you can experience fame too.



Got anything else to say?`



Hey and how many alts does this guy actually use?

So...

TL:DR the entire thread;

The people who enjoy the game vs those who hate it and are "unsubbing" until it "picks up"

Yeah well

Go on

Do it

I double dog dare you

In my opinion, EVE is a game where is it is not the responsibility of the developers to create content, but it is on the players to make the game fun for themselves.

There is a world of fun content out there.

The only thing stagnating here is the quality of postings about EVE stagnating.

That one is new.
