Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Content in EVE is not something that CCP provides, it is the result of player interactions. If you want more content then the features you want from CCP are new things for players to shoot eachother over and new and exciting ways to shoot eachother.

Someone has to buy the plex those "free loading" vets use so CCP is getting their money from someone and I bet they really do not care.

On the fence here on this topic.
I prefer to think of EVE as a tool kit and raw materials we players are supposed to us to create content. While I agree that CCP should not provide the content the "tool kit" is rather lacking in many respects and to me that is something that longer term CCP should look at here is just one example.

You want to set up a miniature version of the alliance tournament so you get all the details figured out and it is time to put those plans into action where in game can you advertise it?
There are 2 excellent possibilities, the bulletin boards next to the jump gates and the vid screen in the captains quarters yet we as players cannot place anything their. Allowing us to use these game assets to create or promote this player driven content only makes sense.

As I say, I do not want CCP to provide the content just a better set of tools for we players to use.

That's laughable coming from a higher-up in one of the two power blocs.

So much butthurt and vitriol here.

Go make your content mate. Start a war, take carebears on tours to major sites (and kill them or not), teach new pilots how to PvP. FFS, you have what you need, and a whole damned cluster to do it in.

Less tears, more content generation.

All you fools... ccp needs to give players the tools to generate fun and exciting events, big or small, with limited input and time investment. Why? Because its a friggin game that we cant all spend 8 hours a day playing.

Yes ccp needs to add more content, like exploration, pve that facilitates pvp, etc etc. The list of things that I can come up with that would be fun is very, very long... and thats without getting paid to do this.

Im not sure why they dont or cant come up with cool ideas.

Assuming this sentiment is genuine, it goes against what pretty much everyone who talks about "more content" actually wants.

"more content" has long been a codeword for "themepark". Which is why people are fundamentally against the prospect, especially if such a thing would take time out from fixing some of glaring, blatantly broken issues that have sat untouched for years precisely because CCP wasted so much time with "more content".

Fix the damn game first. Adding "more content" before that happens is just putting broken mechanics on top of each other until they collapse. (that's how you end up with the current POS code, boys and girls)

CCP were adding 'content' for years whilst the bad and out of date mechanics grew and grew.

this all blew up in their face around Incarna time. The very next expansion after Incarna was Crucible. Arguably the best received expansion to date and it was complimented for its fixes, updates to existing game features and hundreds of balancing tweaks. Oh and ABC's.

There's still a fair way to go down this road. Mods, Corp mechanics, POS mechanics, SOV mechanics etc etc.

They say different teams can do different things, but I hope CCP keep the focus on updating the game before going back to the 'add major new features with every expansion' philosophy.

Actually any nullsec monthly recap or FW update worth more than thousand words.

Don't worry, CCP don't have to do anything.

Yeah I think most of us will be trying that game out....it looks awesome. You never know though, could be a total flop like so many others.

As far as content.....what happens when you jump into nullsec for the first time? What do you see? Nothing. Nothing at all. You then travel the next 20 jumps and see......nothing. Then another 20, and maybe spot a random explorer in local.

Then, you jump into a bubbled gate camp, and being a newbro, die in horrible fire. Being a vet, pray to your God that you can burn back to gate.

Not my idea of an immersive environment full of content and things to do.

Nonetheless, Eve is still pretty awesome.
