more of a idea.
Eve you should do what age of wushu did. when you log in you get a warning saying this is a pvp oriented game. you have to accept such warning. and if you haven't played AoW it is kind of similar to eve. that you can be attack anywhere if you want to or not. and you can kidnap people and sell them to brothels but that's another thread.
but maybe if you ad such a warning people wont get the idea that there are "safe" zones and will be less butt hurt when they are killed by for the first time.
what do you all think of something like that. |

To what purpose? This is EVE. Everyone knows EVE is harsh. A pop-up warning on loging would be like telling people that water is wet. Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

if you're too stupid to realise game mechanics allow you to be shot at any time by any one, then i doubt you'll be able to read an irritating and redundant pop up upon logging in. |

im just saying add it for the 90% of of the internet that is too inept to research a game before they jump in and expect rainbows and butterfly's.
and for those unable to read we can do pictograms or something like that. |

i'm still going to say no.
because i don't want an irritating popup every time i log in. why should i have to suffer such a thing? |

that every one will instantly click to get rid of, because it's nothing more than an annoyance.
so nobody will ever read it, and it will never be seen.
so, it's just a gigantic waste of time for every one and will serve no practical purpose? |

Warning: Must spend 2 minutes before you can continue.
Welcome to Eve. In this game, you make your own fun; CCP will NOT be providing it for you. If you find an aspect of the game less than enjoyable, either do something else or quit. We gave you an entire Universe - go do something. Here by talk start if go able? |

mai Talie-Kuo wrote:it would cut out a bunch of petitions. ccp could answer all i got ganked im a noobie with you were warned HTFU That's already the state of play... CCP is absolutely clear about what is allowed to happen. And people still whinge about being ganked. A one-time popup won't change anything. Why sould CCP waste Dev's time with that?

Heh!
Phrased like that, I'd say it was a great addition to the title splash screen - not so much as a warning, but rather as something we can giggle at.

A one-shot warning that you don't even have to see? How utterly pointless! A complete wasted of Dev time. Why would any rational company bother? Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

This is a great idea - a popup warning of "Burn Jita" last year did wonders to alleviate the freighter losses.

As a new player I'd say the warning already existed. In spades. It was called "Rookie chat". That channel was full of warnings and explanations about pretty much everything 'bad' I as a newb might encounter. (also that link to the probing video....) o Also pretty much every newbie guide had some sort of warning, or link to warnings or pictures of warnings.
Just googling EVE can lead to lots of links full of warnings.
As a new player I'm not sure how I could have failed to notice all the warning signs.
Honestly and I mean this as non-maliciously as possible if 90% of new player have the inability to clue into at least some of the warnings both in game and out around EVE then there is not much the game can do about it. It has nothing to do with the game.
I don't however think it's 90%. The majority of new players I've met in the game so far, know about it, have realized or have been capable of constructively learning from doing something dumb and playing the game. They are also well aware or very quickly become aware of what the game can do to them and for them.

This is like the mandatory "Warning: Coffee is hot" label on coffee cups, because otherwise they'll get sued whenever someone spills their coffee and gets burnt. Cyno's lit, bridge is up, but one pilot won't be jumping home.

And yet many people come to these forums and complain when they get wet lol.
I don't know if the OPs idea is necessary, but it would be nice. Even with that there will be those who dislike the reality of any given situation and will pretend it's otherwise, just like those people who relive high sec should be 100% safe and that "EVE should be for everyone".

I'm sure some kind of funny CCP warning pop up would be fun to read for a first timer. It wouldn't be a big issue as I would just turn it off. |

negative sir. eve is a sandbox. the reason I felt like posting it is that I have seen 100 million. highsek should be safe post from people that got the impression that high sek is 100% safe. i just think eve should do a small thing to make it slightly more direct. **** gets blown up. if someone realy wants you dead they will do it. that is the allure in eve to me always watching your back.
but unfortunately without tons of research prior to playing. a large number of people don't realize this. there are many reasons this happens. and i have seen players with good potential. but lacking research skills quit and never come back because of this. i just think could do a little better at warning players that eve is a dark and nasty universe where you can be killed at any time and people will kill you.

Hmm..I don't remember ever being told in the newbie tutorials that you can get shot at in high-sec, the only way I found out was by locking and shooting a flashy red on a gate in high-sec and then getting concorded
That was 6 years ago though so I don't know if noobs are warned in the tutorials nowadays. Are they? If they aren't than they should be. Herping your derp since 19Potato --á[Proposal] - Ingame Visual Adverts |
