EVE General Discussion

I understand a lot of people where against the idea. To think of it though we have had many other implementations of non spaceship entities such as PI, POS, Citadels etc. It has only made the game richer. I don't really see a valid argument as to why people are against it.

If it's a technical issue than I can totally understand it. But otherwise I just don't get it. I find it a good area to expand in to make the community even closer and interact in other ways than just blowing each other up.

Just imagine playing a game of poker with your fellow Capsuleers after a long fleet, socialising and meeting new pilots, forming connections. It would open up a new playing field to the game and even attract more players.

It could even be expanded to learning more of the game Lore, meeting interesting characters and conversing with them and such. Wishful thinking maybe, but so many possibilities.

If you have played the original Mass Effect, you get the idea how awesome the concept would be. Just my opinion though, im a newbro and I stumbled upon this not long ago.

so they are taking their time to have a complete polished product , instead of rushing product to the forefront broken and needing many many many patches/fixes for years to come. Here you have "we promise to keep communication going with the playerbase" months on end they go silent only patching up the bits and pieces due to constant endless debates. playerbase screams fix this and that ccp says they'll think about it... but weary to do so cause it requires "work"

they'll nerf a rorqual , but refuse to nerf griefing cloaky campers
they're so concerned about minerals, yet fail to understand not all regions are the same due to large guy vs small guy.. yet they claim the small guy can have sov..

there's so much tunnel vision going on right now its no wonder they have problems retaining new players.

well that what happens when you blow 44 mil in terrible R&D projects that would get canned.. im sorry but they prove ever more often how they waste our money we invest in them. its all nothing but excuses, excuses, and more excuses for that a company provides while failing to keep their promises (which often they'll claim then backaway cause they love hype).

im now looking at how i spend my hard earned cash for entertainment for seriously these days.. is eve a waste of cash? its kind of just due to the way the game mechanics are and how it seems awfully slow to move forward its almost as bad as its skills training.. and im not the only one saying this. then you have the diehards who absolutely love this game for their own valid reasons which i respect and honor however. when it comes to the CQ debacle they could have removed this mess long ago just like they decided to do removing it from citadels.. now im even more bored inside a citadel and dont have a sofa to sit down on and wonder how the Dragon guy has soo many darn bounties on himself..

I WANT IMMERSION! this is a space game, it has some of the most smartest people that play this game. you have a freaking expert JPL guy that absolutely loves this game.. yet they cant figure out walking in stations.. why not just ask him!.. i would love to float in stations.. anything than what we have here.. expand the realm of belief and cease this stagnant boring atmosphere.

There are many, many other threads about this topic where you can find the information you need.

You should resist the temptation to start yet another thread on this, done to death topic.

It's clear you don't understand why a lot of people don't like the idea. look at the highlighted part. That seems cool to you. It's seems dumb to me. I'm not alone in thinking that.

Some people want that level of "immersion" sure. But others of us like for the game we play to be focused on something and to not "mission creep" it's way into a mishmash of not so well connected parts. We knew WiS would be such a thing, and DUST 514 proved it to us.

The immersion people are almost always RP types that talk about things like "lore". Well, lots of us don't give a flip about "lore" and play open world sandbox games like this to make up our own stories that had nothing to do with established lore. So some feature that lets us learn more about lore we don't give a flip about is not exciting lol.



Oh and something that has not been mentioned here. WiS was FORCED on us. When CCP introduced the captains quarters, they made it mandatory. No more ship spinning, and there was the feeling that eventually you'd have to drudge along in a station to talk to an agent or something instead of the simple way we were all used to. The whole thing was BS and promised to be even more BS-like as time went on. A big part of our complaint against WiS was how you could not opt out of it.

It meant that CCP didn't understand it's players, who like things quick and simple and don't care about avatars and crap like that. The WiS fanatics always believe that the anger was about something other than WiS. They are wrong, it was exactly about WiS for many of us, myself included.

Where else would you suggest I go to pick up clients?

its true, especially in a game where min/maxing is pretty much everyones goal no matter what they do, having walking in stations would be fun for the first 3 minutes then everyone would go back to the normal and faster more streamlined ways to play

i hear things like "we could have meeting rooms for alliance meetings" - no thanks id rather watch netflix while ratting with teamspeak on.

More of that nonsense "if you don't like what I like you are just afraid of change" nonsense people put out when they don't want to understand that others are different. If we were 'afraid of change', a guy could come to our door with a million dollars and we'd turn them away because damn it don't change my financial situation!!! lol.

EVE doesn't have to turn into a Star Citizen clone to be relevant, and it has evolved without that nonsense un-EVE like space barbie BS when many other MMOs didn't make it past their 3rd birthday. I am, however, glad that SC is in development so that people that just need some good old space jet dogfighting and FPS play (with no more than 23 other people per instance) can stop being disappointed in EVE.

just go play something like sc or mass effect if you want this, you know like the cod players who want to drive tanks go and play battlefield.
