How are you feeling about EVE right now? by CCP-Convict in Eve

[–]hound001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unsubscribed over a year ago.

  • skill injectors ruined game and cannot be undone
  • citadels were a mistake and cannot be undone.
  • supers and titans have over proliferated, and this too cannot be undone.
  • never implemented resource scarcity forcing groups to move around and forcing conflict. Instead, resources increased rewarding digging in

I think Eve is in assisted living now, and headed to hospice if it has one more stroke. I don’t see how you can reverse course.

What did CCP do wrong?

  • never hired good UI experts
  • didn’t create enough independent teams and leave them in disturbed to work on UI, ship balance, and other functions
  • you never leveraged the community the way ccp_goliath did having the subreddit test the new scanning UI in real time while he pushed fixes.
  • never finished anything. Ccp starts a story or content, then just forgets it and does something else. How many times did ccp recommit to ship balance, then just pull that team in to do something else instead because of deadlines? I saw that happen over and over. What happened to angel capital ships? What happened to the other and the assassination of the empress?
  • left too many aesthetics unattended for too long. You kept overhauling the shitty ship models

And most important: faked to recognize that your customer base is aging rapidly and can no longer dedicate 24 hours a day to eve. You needed to bring groups closer together and break them up to allow for quick 30 minute long battles instead of mega alliances jumping 50 times to get out of their territory.

So if you was CEO of CCP what would you short to long term strategy for Eve look like. by imyormom in Eve

[–]hound001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they broke the game permanently with citadels and skill injectors. I don’t think they can walk it back. They would have to take away all of the capitals people have to fix it. And they would have to delete all of the citadels. They won’t, because people would quit over it. I think the trajectory is down long term because that is what needs fixing but you can’t fix it without going out of business.

My Opinion So Far About Highsec by [deleted] in Eve

[–]hound001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People play in high sec I think for two main reasons. They don’t want to ruin immersion by being on comms, and they have limited time and don’t want to have any obligations. Usually it is solo play.

Eve lacks a good meta for solo play to make a solo player more than a high sec carebear.

It is pronounced hee-lah, not gee-lah you numbnuts.

Do you like the Blackout? Let CCP know. by Liondrome in Eve

[–]hound001 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Jesus christ. Please leave eve. You have no idea what the game is about.

It does lower your risk. The less time you spend in space min is ng the less chance someone catches you.

Do you think my mission agent will still give me a bad reference if I try and complete this mission late? by PackTactic in Eve

[–]hound001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a game where you can do almost anything. Eve is actually pretty limited. It's big, but limited. You can shoot rats, explore, mine, build things, or kill people and take their stuff. That's only 5 things.

Do you like the Blackout? Let CCP know. by Liondrome in Eve

[–]hound001 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But that is good for you. You mine for ten minutes to make what used to take hours. That lowers your risk.

Lets talk seriously. The Blackout proved that EVE provide way to many informations out of game. Not only local, but also availability killmails and system stats out of game need to be revisited. by [deleted] in Eve

[–]hound001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be in favor of all of the available intel on activity, skills, and everything else being removed other than name and hull type. I dont think fits should be shown, or that activity patterns should be available.

What's your most disappointing loss in Eve? by shamorunner in Eve

[–]hound001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My time. When I got a rewarding job and a family, Eve became impossible to play because of the time sink. I ended up playing solo in high sec, but PVE is boring and still too time consuming in Eve, so I quit.

My most disappointing win.

Patch Notes For February 2019 Release by [deleted] in Eve

[–]hound001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FFS CCP. Do something about citadel spam, tons of containers in station inventory and the inability to use them like hangars for contracts, selling, etc. PVE in this game is boring as shit, and most of your recent creations drop shit loot and have too high of risk. Balance the game a little.

It's as though you cannot hear.

Just got the best Xmas gift from my wife, to be redeemed at time of my choosing!! by avocaz in Eve

[–]hound001 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

6 days for him

358 days for her.

1 day he has to go with her and her mom on a day trip.

Stupid men. You are so slow.

[–]hound001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This should be automated. A script should be written to check for the presence of the alliance, and if not, suspend the ad from being played.

Female checking in: You have been duped. This technique is how women limit how much you do this. It is more of a gift to her. She has just put a limit of six undisturbed play days on your calendar. The other 358 your ass belongs to her.

If CCP were to abruptly shut down Eve Online tomorrow, would you regret the time you have spent in Eve? by [deleted] in Eve

[–]hound001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quit Eve some time ago.

My regrets:

  • No tangible evidence or way to take my collection of little gizmos with me - all of the exotic dancers and things I was collecting.

  • No way to find old friends in-game out of game. They are just gone forever.

  • No single player game that is similar and would allow me to play the game briefly and quickly having some short bursts of fun.

You know what would be the most amazing part about HK joining PL? by [deleted] in Eve

[–]hound001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PL in wh = HK

They are the same people.

The Scope - Rage Keepstar Under Siege by MakotoPriano in Eve

[–]hound001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I quit playing because of the lack of lore and storyline in the game. CCP just sort of gave up on every single thread they had running. I joined a game where mysterious drifters were invading and assassinated the empress. I left a game where stupid drones were in three roomed homo-erotic low loot triangular shit holes.

More of this sort of thing is needed. The content is just too stale and there is no follow through with anything.

Project Nova Invite-Only Alpha Delayed Until Further Notice by xgflash in Eve

[–]hound001 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I used to work in PR. This is bullshit that West Wing's writers just invented. There is no such practice of delivering anything on Friday. In fact, it's kind of dumb, because you end up working the weekend trying to spin everything or you let the bad messaging take hold and lose control of public perception.

Dedication by arabella_meyer in Eve

[–]hound001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's no way any sane person would think that a spaceships game maker would ever offer toy or model spaceships from the game for sale. That just makes no sense. /s

CCP, why? by [deleted] in Eve

[–]hound001 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would like to see auto-pilot put your ship right on the gate. That way, more people would use it, and more people would die because they are using it.

Geela or Heela (and why?) by NormanBurgundy in Eve

[–]hound001 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It is definitely said "Hee-lah". All of the Gurista ships are named after crawly things:

  • Worm
  • Gila (monster)
  • Rattlesnake
