EVE General Discussion

Post 3 things you think are wrong with EVE.
What do you think that should or should not be in EVE?


PS: I will not post to avoid first post influence.

CCP actively attracting people who don't come here for the sandbox
CCP not trying their very best to educate people on said sandbox
CCP having devs who don't even understand or agree to the sandbox

Ok, this is so only going to be one thing because its a biggy

1) Unfinished crap. CCP has a tendency, and they still do this, that annoys the crap out of me, to announce some feature thats sounds really cool, then either guy chunks of it before its implemented, of implement it and then leave it. No matter how broken or pita it is, they make a few tweeks then move on to new shiney. Its annoying, and they need to knock it off. Examples.. (some of these are being fixed, but as i said, new shiney) PI is way too clicky, PoS were ****, and still are. Reactions are a major pita. It took them forever to make pos fuel easier. Treaties are still not in, comets still not in, Fozzie sov is still in need of some more tweeks, etc.

they need to stop leaving broken, unfinished, in dire need of tweek features alone and oh idk, fix them.

In short, quality of life improvements.

1. Ship balancing, or lack thereof (T2 Blackops, T3 Strategic Cruisers, T1 Battleships). Missing Faction and Officer modules (missiles), module tiericide and new ships (Caldari-Minmatar Pirate Faction, T3 Battleships).
2. Outstanding bugs, glitches and features (map, camera, rubber-banding, market lag, etc.)
3. Balance pass on Citadels (increase vulnerability window, reduce asset safety, require fuel for basic operation, eliminate anchoring exploit).

If CCP wants the regular MMO crowd to transition we need to create the ground school WiS to transition them with lots of cut scenes and themepark hand holding from the planets surface, complete with Lore videos and cut scenes about the races, cultures, and telling the Eve story, that plays more like an interactive Eve movie that teaches about the cold hard universe that Eve is as a 'child' in the eve universe would learn that dreams of becoming an elite 'capsuleer' that transitions into orbital station actual NPE ship flying Eve Uni like classes with Aura and other NPC agents giving ACTUAL game play lessons ( btw the new NPE with the dying goes a LONG way already ) with the final graduation being to fly to your new starter schools station and then getting promptly kicked out with a "Heres a ship go **** yourself!!" in true Eve style ending.



Ganking needs some improvements. Dont get me wrong I got into ganking after I got ganked. I lost like 300mil in a t1 indy many moons ago and I was like hey!! if they can do that then so can I!! My first character got killed by M0o in mara using the jet can lag exploit before it was an exploit. I didnt cry, my friends told me how cruel and brutal Eve was when I got into it, so I just woke up in the clone bay and got to getting. What is wrong with it is its too easy atm. Even with the isBoxer improvements there needs to be SOMETHING to make it interesting. Atm its scan, blap, collect and not a lot of real other gameplay. There needs to be an effective counterplay or even some real deterrent as many of the same rules do apply.
Dont get me wrong I love being able to be ganked and OMG it MUST stay in game. Just like missions, lol, make it stimulating instead of spider and fly old gate camping style of gameplay. Give me a reason to get excited to log in my gank alts again instead of pure balance sheet numbers game.


There needs to be more stuff actually destroyed. We have effectively gotten too good at protecting ourselves, especially old farts such as myself. We have adapted far to well. The longer you stay the more you adapt and the worse it gets as the people that stay are the adapters and innovators. Or else you WILL get drummed out, ring the bell and tap out and stop logging in. Its a sad reality as I do like my stuff. But its a reality non the less.
And though in the end it is a game and fun is important I think that this is an issue in some ways.


Other than this theres more "stuff" wrong but that stuff is usually tied to too many factors to make for effective changes where cause==effect orderly and so becomes a balance nightmare which I do understand. If the Fed or the BoC or any other federal org has a hard time making this "perfect" in real life then games will not be any better or worse.

Lack of captains hats in the NEX store.

ISDs that infringe on free speech relentlessly by locking threads for any and every reason.

ISD's for dominating player chat channels and running them in a dictatorial manner.

ISD's....ISD's are what is wrong with eve.

Eve needs more freedom and less moderation!!!!

It's only people like me and the OP that take this place seriously.

In the forum rules, rule 5 defines trolling as:

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive, and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.

I never deliberately design posts with the intent of angering, insulting or drawing an emotional response, so by definition, I cannot be a troll.

If anyone feels those things because of my posts, then they just need to HTFU and stop being such emotional children.
