I had a little look at the comments & questions on CCP Seaguls Q&A today and there seemed to be a fair few comments regarding the drop in lore, in-game news, roleplay and general influence of the empires and CONCORD within New Eden.
This seems to line up with, amongst other changes, switching CO control from CONCORD to Interbus to enable player controlled structures and more recently enabling POS anchoring without the need to gain standings with empire/s in control.
Is this going to be a continuing trend so that eventually all the New Eden backstory falls by the wayside and becomes completely irrelevant to gameplay I'm all for giving capsuleers more stuff to do, even though I'm not personally happy with how the high sec POCO/CO situation ended up, but is the baby being thrown out with the bathwater

Seagull's AMA was pretty thin on details. Personally I expected a little more than what can be already found on devblogs/forums.
Nice attitude though. They should do this more often, preferably when they actually have some "intel" to give us. |

She shouldn't be hosting discussions on websites that support child abuse. EVE is a game about spaceships and there's an enormous amount of work to do on the in-space gameplay before players (or developers) are ready to sacrifice it for a totally new type of gameplay - CCP Rise |

i don;t think lore is being tossed to the way side, though with the last round of layoffs a few months ago i think they lost some lore writers... I think the lore still plays a large part. But one of the issues that came from the Empyian age and the Empyian war, is that the empires are starting to lose their grip on space. We, the Cap pilots, are gaining more power.
I don;t think we will see some crazy stuff like concord going away, but we will see more things shift to us and less empire things.
Eve lore is rich and needs to remain, but it can be changed as new technology comes, like the 4-1-1. In a room full of dumb blondes, EvE is the smart red head on the other side of the room.-á Lots of men like dumb blondes, and not everyone will like the smart red head, but she doesn;t need to change to be a dumb blonde.-á She is perfect how she is.-á Thats EvE vs other mmo's.-á You either like the red head, or you don't. |

I feel CCP has lost touch with the lore and just throws whatever out there to see what will stick for now.
This current theme that the empires are loosing control must mean the empires are run by fools. If they wanted to stop (some of the) pod pilots, the means are still in their control.
Let's look back at the lore: Jovians originally gave the pod technology to the Caldarians and it quickly spread from there. The process to become a pod pilot was offered to a miniscule selected few and even then, many of those selected never survived the process.
So if the empires fear they are loosing control, then cease the pod pilot program!
Since an unknown amount of pod pilots have a clone back-up in empire territories, all these empires have to do is threaten the pilot to fall into line or destroy their clone(s).
Wasn't it revealed in the "Empyrean Age" book that star gates are manned by people and not automation? If the gate guns can detect a negative security player and fire upon him or her, technology is not advanced to detect whether a ship approaching the gate is manned by a large crew or a pod pilot and limited crew? Isolate and cut off pod pilots running about and contain them within a system.
And this is just off the top of my head. But it does not allow for whacky patch explanations. |

Since when do we need CCP to provide a "proper" way for us to role play? :)(: |

There's a tension, I think, between npc-driven narratives, on the one hand, and an emergent gaming experience on the other. Lore follows gameplay, not the other way around (which explains such things as player-owned customs offices: nonsense in terms of coherent story-telling, but great for encouraging player-driven action). With SeagullGÇÖs push towards even more emergence and unpredictable outcomes, this tension is only exacerbated. I'm at a loss for a tidy solution for that, tbh.

As always 3rd party is better than what CCP provides us with. Way to go CCP Seagul! Give us command line and let us make our own UI. Or just keep releasing SDE and we will make a game on our own out of it. Eve Online Overview Wizard: Forum thread Homepage

Seems like the AMA is filled with platitudes like this:
Quote:We want more things to do for smaller actors - so that's one aspect we definitely keep in mind when planning changes for null sec, corporations and alliances. The challenge is to create space for smaller groups to be independent and have cool stuff to do, but still mattering in the bigger picture in interesting ways.
Quote:Even more tools for players and 3rd party developers, and more marketing stuff made in a way that reflects the actual game and that would be useful for existing players to link to if they are trying to explain why EVE is something to care about.
Quote:we will be able to do more and more interesting things, especially about connecting smaller group actions and ownership of space or structures to the bigger picture warfare in new ways.
Quote:Yup, some changes and new missions coming in the next releases!
And lastly..
Quote:We have things in the works, and you'll hear more about it soon as we start talking about our plans - but that will come from the teams working directly on it - I am not going to present some specific solution here. Ok, then. Thanks for.. I don't know, what were we reading? .. when everything else is gone .. |
