Good to hear that maybe CCP is finally getting on the same wavelength as the player base regarding iteration schedules, sad it took so long before you grasped what was wrong with that system on so many levels, Please don't spoil it by trying to spin it off as 'Oh We Just Had This Brilliant Idea'.

Next thing you need to redact is spoofing Time Dilation as some sort of feature, those of us who have played EVE for years recognized what it was, what was causing it and that CCP were never going to be able to solve that simple problem of the speed of light.

As a CeO of a Corp that has watched it's member base activity levels plummet these past months we have had the chance to actually poll those guys and ask them why they stopped playing EVE, Multi Iterations was one minor point, Jump Fatigue however was a major issue for them as was the Multi-boxing debacles, I can hear the Trolls winding themselves up already, Forget it, not interested in what your point of view is, it's a very singular one and does not reflect the issues it caused for a lot of people in regards to there personal content provision in EVE, Had CCP a grain of sense they would have bought out ISBOXER outright, modified it for there needs and rented it to the players for a fee.

The final straw for a lot though was the issues present to them by the proposed 'Fozzie Sov'. They realized long before the details were finalized that turning playing an MMO into a daily index grinding job was not for them, they moved on and unless CCP do something radical, few if any will return.

So it was no one thing, just a series of items on a long list that finally ground them down, Yes it's good to hear your finally looking at the problem seriously, Yes Eve is a sandbox of a type, but turning it into a bland pile of dirt as has happened to date leaves it holding little or no interest for players, If you want to build a pay to win FPS space ships game then go design one, market it and make money, The Ethos of EVE was never that and never could be.

Ok, so I'll just sub two accounts then, to compensate for your compensation. Many like me think the changrs are for the better and now when CCP is listening again, let's give them some help!

The Jesus feature is resurrected!!

Now that the balancing/redesigning of ships and mechanics is almost complete, i hope CCP take a second look at avatar based gameplay! Not that WIS social areas bs but instead, meaningful gameplay to flesh out the world of New Eden.

look, CCP Seagul remembered eve have a playerbase...all is good now

wallet feedback, best feedback

I’m pumped!

Sounds like CCP is grasping at straws, you made fatal decision regarding the frequency of expansions and clearly don't have a clue how your own game functions. Your subs are slowly declining and you have alienated much of your core players who might never return.


You need to first understand the universe in which your trying to shape, you need to be apart of the universe, participate openly and see things from other players perspectives. Ill give you the first hint, when players won't make plans in your game beyond 30 days because of the frequency of your patch cycle, I don't see any reason to keep a sub going past my first 30 days. It takes months if not years to train into a ship you like and when things are changing every 5 weeks, I might as well play something else.

This is why eve was successful for many years, it had a static universe, were mechanics remained unchanged for long periods of time.

I wish you all the best CCP but I have a feeling the days of New Eden are numbered.

Ok I guess it's a typo or just someone not entirely fluent in engrish, but damn sometimes the accidental truth is the best.

Good CCP you finally realised you screwed up by ditching expansions, big releases and the hype surrounding them were probably the single biggest thing that ever got people to notice EVE, not surprising new players aren't turning up when nobody is talking about EVE other than the disgruntled players leaving.

I have to agree with this comment from EvENews24.

"When people look back, 2015 will be remembered as the year EvE players, started the year filled with hope, but so far have been left gutted with disappointment.
The CCP hyped Ageis Sov system, with it's whole Entosis Mechanic, fell flat, as players on TQ have proven, they don't like & don't want it. Players given the choice of playing, or not playing with it, overwhelming have voted not to play. CCP's decision to move away from large scale fights & to focus EvE as a game about cruisers and frigates, geared towards small scale engagements is proving to be a fatal mistake.
For years, players having been telling CCP what was needed;
* Better Alliance Mechanics are needed - a bottom up taxation system rather than have them rely on rental empires. Make Corps have to join Alliances & limit the number of Corps they could have in them.
* Coalition Mechanics are needed - Limit their sizes, limit the number of blues they could have, limit the number of systems they could hold at once.
* The reliance on passive Moon Goo revenue had to be addressed - an alternate income system for alliance & corps to tax members was needed.
* Limit the number of Super's/Titans in the game
* Strong measures to encourage the migration of players & corps from High Sec to Low & onto Nul Sec was needed. So much of Nul Sec particularly is empty.
* Players like things that go boom - They like and want large scale fights, what they don't want, is the TiDi that accompanies those fights.
But greed is good & not actually listening to your customer base works, right?
CCP forgot EvE is like a house of cards, you can not tug at 1 string, without pulling on a heap of others & all the neglect is coming home to roost in spades.
So now, with too little, too late, all will magically be fixed & players will flock back to what was once the best game out there?. Highly doubtful, there is too much quality competition out there all wanting our hard earned cash.
Sadly, it looks like a case of will the last one out, please turn off the lights.
It will be interesting to see how many people actually bother to go to fanfest next year, if the game lasts that long."

I hope CCP reads this and takes notice.
Personally, I much prefer the idea of Damage Mitigation, over the failed Entosis Mechanics and can't see why we really have to have vulnerability windows. You should be able to attack things at any time, not just at set times.
I want to be playing this game in years to come, but unless something changes, & these things get addressed, I just can't see that happening as more and more people opt out.

does that mean that the awesome expansion trailers are going to be coming back?

Yes, the evil CCP is ruining your game. Tell me again how mining was nerfed? Or exploration? Or how everyone in EVE acutally wants LESS PVP content?!

You should get out of highsec, it's actually safer in nullsec.
