I also enjoy games with a strong storyline. In EVE I get to write my own story. My friends that I play with write theirs. Our stories intertwine and lead us places we didn't expect. We meet new people, do new things. EVE's storyline is constantly evolving and unlike in other MMOs, it is uniquely mine.

I would probably stop playing EVE if CCP started determining my actions for me in the form of a mandatory storyline.



No mandatory story lines, just event cinematics.

Every second I am forced to watch an event cinematic is a second where my ship is vulnerable in space and there is nothing I can do about it. -1


Right click the screen and the cinematic stops? Tada



then what's the point of having a cinematic in the first place if you're going to skip it..

that's wrong.. they openly talk about everything all the time.. be it on streams or in dev blogs.

Answer: Options, not everyone wants to watch, better things to do, however there are some who enjoy a good plot line.

I think I already said this.

Alright then ask them since I'm out of the loop what they intend on doing about PVE?

ok so create cinematics to make the game more enjoyable, but you are in space defenseless while watching.
to counter this you add an option to skip the cinematic.. and then back to square one. see the problem here?

All I hear from you are excuses for "Why not". That is the wrong attitude.

Keep local up through the cinematic.
Have a red flash come accross when someone enters local
Right click to end if you see red flash
Can re-watch the damn thing later
So many options I think it's funny

well simple enough, follow them on twitter, facebook.. check in the forums where there is a blue sticker with the word "DEV" in it... and then when something happens, guess what you can test it in SISI (singularity)

Et voilà! you are now aware of "stuff" happening

you're the one pushing for changes, the burden of proof is on your shoulders.. show us how you are right.. you have to come up with these ideas, not i.. i'm just here trying to pass my opinion and doing so in a good critique.

No the burden is where I have to even propose such ideas. If they like them they will figure it out. I just want to see the game thrive. However as a consumer I could take the approach that this is not my problem and let the game die, there will be others.
