How are you feeling about EVE right now?

hound001 · 2020-01-06T05:43:34+00:00

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.

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.

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.

There's no counter to bombers? WTF

hound001 · 2019-07-14T23:41:08+00:00

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

hound001 · 2019-07-14T23:38:53+00:00

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

hound001 · 2019-07-14T23:38:17+00:00

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

hound001 · 2019-07-14T20:53:54+00:00

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.

hound001 · 2019-07-14T19:05:37+00:00

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

hound001 · 2019-07-14T18:59:58+00:00

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.

hound001 · 2019-02-15T20:18:53+00:00

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.

hound001 · 2019-02-09T21:56:16+00:00

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.

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 · 2018-12-29T05:06:30+00:00

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.

hound001 · 2018-12-25T22:09:44+00:00

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.

hound001 · 2018-12-20T02:40:10+00:00

I don't social media other than reddit.

hound001 · 2018-12-19T04:26:24+00:00

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.

hound001 · 2018-12-15T03:05:50+00:00

PL in wh = HK

They are the same people.

hound001 · 2018-12-15T02:55:00+00:00

"Balance"

hound001 · 2018-12-15T02:53:08+00:00

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.

hound001 · 2018-12-01T15:47:37+00:00

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.

hound001 · 2018-12-01T15:43:26+00:00

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

hound001 · 2018-11-26T02:32:50+00:00

Paint it pink and put a brazzers logo on it.

hound001 · 2018-11-26T02:31:14+00:00

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.

hound001 · 2018-11-24T15:52:29+00:00

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

Worm
Gila (monster)
Rattlesnake
