Aloriana Jacques Amarr Royal Amarr Institute	Posted - 2010.01.06 05:01:00 - [1] Edited by: Aloriana Jacques on 06/01/2010 05:01:42 With Dominion fresh off the shelves it seems a bit odd to be ready for the next expansion already. But considering that Dominion's key features were focused more on 0.0 some of us coughcarebearscough need to look to the future and anticipate wonderful things...hopefully. As most know, planetary interactions are coming next and is slated for a summer release (may-july). There's not too much that we know will be thrown into the expansion, but here's where we can hypothesize what will be coming. What we know is coming: Planetary interaction----- Low barrier of entry Own regions, develop them (industry, academia, infrastructure) and profit from them Interact with other players who own regions around you Player actions within their regions can spill into their neighbours Care for/enslave/"employ" your citizens "It's less about particular units or installations and more about policies, trade agreements and diplomacy by other means..." -Fan Fest 2009, CCP Presents, Timestamp 1:03:39 Nuke your enemies from orbit (destroying the infrastructure in the process) On release of DUST 514, hire DUST players to take your enemy's territory (while keeping the infrastructure intact) What we know is coming (soonTM) and may or may not be part of the next expansion: Alliance Treaties (removed from Dominion for more work, allows alliance to make treaties with other alliances, corps, and even individuals giving them rights within their space to specific things) Mining revamp (planetary rings and comets that must be scanned out and contain new resources) Fleet Formations (offers many bonuses to ships in formation) T3 Frigate series (stated to be the next iteration of Tech 3 that is to be "cheap" and "highly configurable") T3 loot (not much out except it'll be a new generation of modules + components and "It's going to be awesome!") And also expect: Random info on Incarna (maybe they'll rename it again!) Jovians (Mysteeeerious... And are waiting for the right time to strike.) So is anybody else excited for the future?! :D NINJA-EDIT: And if I missed anything else, let me know and I'll throw it up! ----------------------------------------------------------- CCP Presents: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNhPig8inEY CCP q&A Panel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFEi2aIvsFA - - - Aloriana Jacques - Skill Sheet

Not a rip off though( as mentioned at fanfest ). Just think about it, DUST players will be on our planets right? So in theory we could be making maps for them. Awesome! Apparently our interaction won't be so detailed. One of DUST's features is that one person will be given the role to place installations on the map as he sees fit. The map itself is static, but features there can change depending on how we as pilots act on it. IE: Nuking an environment from orbit would reflect a wasteland in DUST. This might cause rivers or lakes to become dry and gain strategic advantage. It seems like it'll be more macro-management then micro-management. You might be able to tell your police force how brutal to be, for example. It could makes things more secure, but your workers might be unhappy as a result. Requiring you to pump them with gifts and bonuses to make them happy again. .....I can't wait. >:) - - - Aloriana Jacques - Skill Sheet

While delays and further reconsideration/detailing of new features is to be expected, I think it's pretty fair to say that the major feature goals are staying where they are. Looking at CCPs track record, they've always implemented the major feature additions on the schedule, once they set one that is, even if the initial implementation was nothing to write home about. --------------------------- Only those who surrender are lost

CyberGh0st Minmatar Ara Veritas	Posted - 2010.01.06 09:10:00 - [23] I hope that next expansion will give us an option to turn off positional sound effects, so that we can enjoy the explosions and turret fire once more. It is certainly possible, as Baldur said he was interested in doing this. Of course sound has only been messed up for 9 months, Dominion was just too short notice to get such an advanced feature in the game, but perhaps with another 6 months, he may be able to do it. http://www.mmodata.net Favorite MMO's : DAoC Pre-TOA-NF / SWG Pre-CU-NGE / EVE Online ( Pre-Dust514 ? )

Nina Treml	Posted - 2010.01.06 10:28:00 - [30] What is STRONGLY needed and more than ever in this game is: fixing fleet fights! All the promo video by ccp are cool, but the game is not even far from what you can see in those videos, it's all about blobbing, nothing can change that... or: Introduce REAL squadrons/teams/wings call them as you like, but make it so that people MUST create smaller groups to fight each other. What i mean is not to reduce the number of people fighting, but having a more tactical and deep fighings. Example: you can still make huge fleets of 200+ people, but the squads inside it should really be indipendent: the fleet leader should assign a target for every squad, up to a maximum of 2 squads can fight a single target. So you can have dedicated squads and attack an enemy bs team with 2 of your squads, 1 of tacklers and 1 of bs; then the enemy must fight you with an anti-tacklers squad while sending support and so on... You can then have mixed squad (let's say 5 tacklers + 5 sniping bs, or 1 command + 3 tacklers + 6 dps ships and so on) and solo-pilots that can be assigned like a jolly to support teams (but, being alone, they don't get bonuses from the fleet). This will mean: less focused fire + more tactics + more fun fights. It's very hard for me to exlpain this well, like i'd wish to do, expecially becouse of my poor english, but I really hope to see something like this one day.
khendro Caldari Point of No Return	Posted - 2010.01.06 11:55:00 - [31] From what i heard, the regions where DUST players will fight on are seperate. So you can't order DUST players to conquer entire planets, they will only be able to conquer specific regions, all the other regions are purely controlled through EVE Online.

It's very hard for me to exlpain this well, like i'd wish to do, expecially becouse of my poor english, but I really hope to see something like this one day. It's not difficult to understand what you are thinking. Just that assigning an arbitrary fixed number of wings/squads/whatever kinda goes against the open battle themes of EVE. What would probably work better would be something along the lines of the more people targeting or trying to target a ship the smaller its effective sig radius. It basically becomes a game of diminishing returns where a ship has an effective, but no real hard limit to the number of other ships that can target it. This makes it ineffective to target something like a frigate with anything more than another wing of frigates while leaving enough room for mass targeting of capital and super capital ships. This opens up some huge opportunities for more tactical deployment of pilots beyond the current "Nyx is primary, primay is still the Nyx" However, something like this could potentially give birth to some seriously nasty lag monsters so I doubt we will see anything like it in the near future.

A lot of things have been thrown into the air, but which one takes priority? The information regarding what to expect from Planetary Interaction is very vague and seems to be at a concept art stage. Incarna is still being buzzed, but nobody knows if all concepts have been scrapped and it will develop into something completely new, if at all. DUST looks to have had a lot of developing going on, but no release date yet. I am just thinking, perhaps CCP is struggling with some external problems these days, and the next big announcement they will make is about leaving Iceland. ---------------- Mr. Science & Trade Institute

Aloriana Jacques Amarr Royal Amarr Institute	Posted - 2010.01.06 17:19:00 - [44] Good to see we've been staying (mostly) on topic as to what we'd like for the next expansion. Even if some of the things don't have synergy with each other I think they can be regarded as follow-ups to Dominion, such as looking at fleet formations. Personally, I think this planetary interaction will be a new facet that the game needs and would work as a good prep for Incarna (whenever it gets here). From space, to planets, to walking in stations. All that we would need after that are actual stations on planets, but that would require planetary flight and that I'm pretty sure we'll NEVER see. Overall, I think it's always good to have many things to look forward to. It helps endure many of the problems we have now when they strike. - - - Aloriana Jacques - Skill Sheet

Aloriana Jacques Amarr Royal Amarr Institute	Posted - 2010.01.06 22:51:00 - [50] Originally by: Trinity Faetal a carefull guess, we may be able to walk in station in the summer, planetary orbit, thats winter stuff, won't happen this summer. That would be...really out of left field if they did that. But I don't think they will because of the whole planetary-interaction/DUST connection. It makes sense that we'd get planetary interaction before DUST because DUST currently is only a single feature (that we know of) in EVE. While in DUST, the ability to take the contracts and be part of EVE corporations is a really big thing. While Incarna...well, there really isn't anything in it that we've been told that directly connects to anything else. And they still need to spill more on it. Like, actual GAMEPLAY parts of it and not just show off how pretty out pod-room looks. > _ > - - - Aloriana Jacques - Skill Sheet

Kolatha	Posted - 2010.01.07 03:38:00 - [57] Originally by: Chaos Incarnate Your FC > hey guys, our supercaps are about to jump in, everyone target them as soon as they land so as to screw up enemy targetting/damage. /evil laughter Edit: and to predict the next 20 posts of this conversation: You'll say "Okay, so fleet lockings don't count" and I'll say "Okay, so I'll have seperate fleets" You'll say "Okay, well, alliance lockings don't count" and I'll say "Oh, I'll have my coalitionmates lock our supercaps instead" You'll say "Well, any lockings toward blue standings don't count" and I'll say "Well, we'll fiddle with standings before fights, as annoying as it will be." I'll then be forced to explain how the game can't properly differentiate between hostile locks and friendly locks meant to imitate hostile locks in a way that isn't exploitable, because the game can't read your mind. Yet. You are right, we could go the whole I say - you say routine but that is rather a pointless task when all that is presented is a very broad possibility. With a bit of creative thinking you don't even need to differentiate between hostile and non-hostile at all, I could go on and on with many ways to implement the mechanics that don't require knowledge of the difference between friendly or hostile targets. Stacking penalties first come to mind. Fiddle the stacking right and supercaps, with their already huge sig radii, aren't reduced to an unlockable state while smaller ships have an effective upper limit to the number of people who can get a fast lock. But even that can go through the whole I say - you say argument. But to reiterate, it is just a broad fuzzy wishful concept not a sweeping intricately detailed mechanic. There isn't enough detail presented on how it would work to actually say whether the idea I presented would or would not work. It's just a broad idea that would be a nice addition to fleet warfare.
Tbear Cave Bear Mining	Posted - 2010.01.07 06:39:00 - [58] Nope, sorry, you all got it wrong.... CCP needs to give Exploration some love with a new battlecruiser class exploration ship and exploration sites randomly spawned (% chance of spawn when scan probe initiated). Could mix in a few story line exploration missions from deep space agents you find off the beaten paths by scanning out their hidden hideaways in deep space. Follow the bread crumb trail of clues and avoid getting killed to find the hidden dark places that may be guarded or un-guarded where riches could be found. Not Epic Arc style, or WH style, or lvl 4 style, but any pilot with medium scanning skills could find an exploration site in any system in eve. Give each exploration spawn a random dificulty with matching risk/rewards. Walking in stations, Bah! DUST console, who cares! Just give us the hard core stuff of flying ships, shooting at things and maybe grabbing a few iskies for ourselves. Exploring space is what attracted many of us to Eve, why not give it just a little love......

Sound fix.. no more hardeners that disable turret sounds, working jukebox etc... Turrets to have recoil again.. Missile launchers to maaaybe come out of their launchers (maybe rats not killing my drones if I have a reconnect) AA that works fix for blocky Shadows a rework for the lousy hit effect for turrets Petitions that get answered in less than 3 days (it's been 5 now..

Dr Karsun Gallente HUSARIA Curatores Veritatis Alliance	Posted - 2010.01.07 10:43:00 - [62] I want zombies... Battleships will launch bombs with toxins at colonies down on planets and the players playing dust will have to take their guns and kill the zombie hordes... Seriously, we won't know what we'll get like 10 days before the patch as far as I've seen it and as this time - there will be stuff added that won't ever reach final patch notes (like moros nerf in dominion). Lets not count on anything really, although I am really waiting for walking on stations and on pos. Landing on the ground should also be nice and fighting but I'd rather see it not as normal fps but more like mech wars, with soldiers running around but npc controlled. Capsuleers should control huge war machines on the field. But that's just my vision... huge war machines fighting zombie hordes... Yarr... And btw - if capitals will be able to give support to those fighting on land... A normal siege launcher launching a nuke ever like what... 4 seconds? Whiping out the entire surface of a battlefield... No f-way this will work as we'd love to...

So now I get to play Sim City on Eve? As has been said on here several times fix the Risk/Reward in low sec. Also, putting out a fully finished product and actually listening to the people putting in time on the test server to give feed back might be a good place to start. In general I believe CCP does an outstanding job with this game. Sometimes, though, I believe they overthink the problem and over do whatever they believe the fix might be. Whatever the next expansion holds, I am sure I will still be playing, and enjoying almost every minute of it.

In all honesty, housekeeping should be done little as little as they go, not all at once. That kind of defies the purpose of bug fixing. If you patch a whole bunch of things all at once and people report MORE problems you don't know where to start looking. Meanwhile, if you patch even one thing a month, there's a much narrow possibility of where the problem is if a new problem occurs for some people because of a small patch. Bug fixes are all well and nice, but it's not really anything to look forward to and be excited about. :\ Not in the same way as you can about an expansion releasing new content. - - - Aloriana Jacques - Skill Sheet

Yeah, jetcan mining really shows gaming polish. Go to character bazzaar. Almost every character sold is miner. AFK mining enables CCP to squeeze out last money from people who really really do not want to play any more but still feel attached to the game - before they finally quit. The same with AFK training. The less interaction the better. Also polish in my EvE? EvE has rough barebone mechanics that people metagame around. And abuses are touted as sales pitch.

Well... ok got a few more wishes: - A tool in game to verify the damage crystals have when they are not loaded. Whether it be laser or mining crystals, please find a way to r-click then get damage or something a like. - Default short-cut notifications on the right when you do a right click so people get familiar with them - Auto stacking in cargo and hangars/ cans like the POS fuel bay. \o/ - Drag & drop. Like in the corporate hangars of the orca you can easily move items into 1 of the 7 cargo holds without opening the tab. Would love to drag stuff from my cargobay onto of one of my GSC's without the need of having to open it. - A skill to unanchored offlined towers.

All the promo video by ccp are cool, but the game is not even far from what you can see in those videos, it's all about blobbing, nothing can change that... or: Introduce REAL squadrons/teams/wings call them as you like, but make it so that people MUST create smaller groups to fight each other. What i mean is not to reduce the number of people fighting, but having a more tactical and deep fighings. Example: you can still make huge fleets of 200+ people, but the squads inside it should really be indipendent: the fleet leader should assign a target for every squad, up to a maximum of 2 squads can fight a single target. So you can have dedicated squads and attack an enemy bs team with 2 of your squads, 1 of tacklers and 1 of bs; then the enemy must fight you with an anti-tacklers squad while sending support and so on... You can then have mixed squad (let's say 5 tacklers + 5 sniping bs, or 1 command + 3 tacklers + 6 dps ships and so on) and solo-pilots that can be assigned like a jolly to support teams (but, being alone, they don't get bonuses from the fleet). This will mean: less focused fire + more tactics + more fun fights. It's very hard for me to exlpain this well, like i'd wish to do, expecially becouse of my poor english, but I really hope to see something like this one day. Agreed, make the FC more of a command role focuing on straighty/tatics rather than command
Mr Kidd	Posted - 2010.01.14 00:49:00 - [89] Instead of expansion how about some polishing? Why do software companies ignore the obvious and apparent imperfections in their software and instead expand it to include more imperfections with which the customer base is left to deal with? A polished UI would be more welcome than planet interaction. Some real physics would be cool too? Ducking behind objects to deflect fire. First person piloting. Gravity wells. How about a freaking compass of some sort to orient the player in both the space view and the map view? How about if I collide with another ship I don't just bounce off?

Been waiting seems like 3 yrs now since they officially announced it and at the time was pretty much the one thing that made me renew my subscription at the time, not 2 yrs on or so and still next to absolutely nothing to show except 1 teaser trailer and some pre alpha footage thats over a year old. Was really looking forward to owning a bar, getting the new skills for the clothing stores ect, not just seems like a waste of time even mentioning it. Dont care for DUST myself, plenty of other shooters out there if i want that...Moving all the asteroid belts in all systems to planet rings would be high on the list, so that you can never run out of the asteroids to mine, basicly was supposed to be simular to ice mining, long stretches of asteroids that re-generaited the futher you moved down the belt, dont remember what i saw that at or even if that will still be implemented or not. More T3 stuff, i for one thinks T3 frigs would really suck, who wants a frig? lol plenty of those in game already, i wanted the T3 BS ever since T3 was first shown at fanfest, never wanted the cruisers lol.. Planetary Interaction, now this has been talked about for years aswell, but i dont want any more usless crap going into 0.0, last thing i think eve needs is another damn expansion limited to pvp area's again. Dominion hasn't changed anything at all with all of its 0.0 space, the same alliances still hold the majority of the same space with no new players occupiying anything free'd up.

But considering that Dominion's key features were focused more on 0.0 some of us coughcarebearscough need to look to the future and anticipate wonderful things...hopefully. As most know, planetary interactions are coming next and is slated for a summer release (may-july). There's not too much that we know will be thrown into the expansion, but here's where we can hypothesize what will be coming. What we know is coming: Planetary interaction----- Low barrier of entry Own regions, develop them (industry, academia, infrastructure) and profit from them Interact with other players who own regions around you Player actions within their regions can spill into their neighbours Care for/enslave/"employ" your citizens "It's less about particular units or installations and more about policies, trade agreements and diplomacy by other means..." -Fan Fest 2009, CCP Presents, Timestamp 1:03:39 Nuke your enemies from orbit (destroying the infrastructure in the process) On release of DUST 514, hire DUST players to take your enemy's territory (while keeping the infrastructure intact) What we know is coming (soonTM) and may or may not be part of the next expansion: Alliance Treaties (removed from Dominion for more work, allows alliance to make treaties with other alliances, corps, and even individuals giving them rights within their space to specific things) Mining revamp (planetary rings and comets that must be scanned out and contain new resources) Fleet Formations (offers many bonuses to ships in formation) T3 Frigate series (stated to be the next iteration of Tech 3 that is to be "cheap" and "highly configurable") T3 loot (not much out except it'll be a new generation of modules + components and "It's going to be awesome!") And also expect: Random info on Incarna (maybe they'll rename it again!) Jovians (Mysteeeerious... And are waiting for the right time to strike.) So is anybody else excited for the future?! :D NINJA-EDIT: And if I missed anything else, let me know and I'll throw it up! ----------------------------------------------------------- CCP Presents: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNhPig8inEY CCP q&A Panel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFEi2aIvsFA Modular stations!!
