Polaris Lumine Sebiestor tribe	Posted - 2010.03.27 16:32:00 - [32] I remember sitting in a pub once and while my mate went to get the beers I killed his Tamagochi by overfeeding it with cake. He hardly talked to me for the rest of the night ha ha

Sig Sour	Posted - 2010.03.27 17:12:00 - [34] While I am personally excited to see how Dust works with Eve, I am not a fan of Eve Gate. I do not like face book and I do not like Eve Gate. From what I understand, by default I have a profile on Eve Gate. I do not like this, and find it to be a turn off for Eve.

Malcanis Vanishing Point. The Initiative.	Posted - 2010.03.27 17:55:00 - [38] Edited by: Malcanis on 27/03/2010 17:55:45 Originally by: MatrixSkye Mk2 Originally by: Malcanis (I'd just like to remind you of the many, many posts you've made excoriating various subsets of the EVE population in the most definite terms. Terms that leave little doubt as to your absolute contempt for them.) Very well said. All of it, but especially the line above. Oh I dont mind a bit of excoriation so much. Actually, as a rule I'm fine with it. But one can hardly call half of EVE worthless parasitic carebears (or sociopathic griefing scum, come to that) and then in the next breath claim that they're infinitely superior to consoleers. Bit of a contradiction there. PS I was wondering what your worthless parasitic carebear take on Dust 514 is. Will you be playing?
MatrixSkye Mk2 Minmatar	Posted - 2010.03.27 18:03:00 - [39] Meh, don't know yet. Don't have any console at the moment. Never really been interested in one. But with 514 on the horizon this might be the time to get one :P. Grief a PVP'er. Run a mission today!

Tippia Reikoku IT Alliance	Posted - 2010.03.27 19:17:00 - [42] Don't be silly, of course it isn't.

Zeba Minmatar Honourable East India Trading Company	Posted - 2010.03.27 20:13:00 - [44] Tbh when I'm starting to tire a bit on internets spaceships this will give me another eve related outlet for a new passtime as I recharge my batteries for anouther round of eve pew pew. So when PI and Dust hit that is three seperate things I can bounce around and still be connected to the overall eve world. Works for me.

(its easy to come up with crazy crack pot theories, its just really hard for them to actually make sense) I suppose you mean skill queue? Remember, or know, that it took them years to finally implement it. They were very much against doing so, because then you wouldn't need access to eve that often.

ZiYauRen Gallente RedShift Limited Sang Do Oligarchic Democracy	Posted - 2010.03.28 03:53:00 - [47] Get over it... Eve is a sandbox. A scifi sandbox. Ever increasing simulation sandbox in an ever expanding simulation of many things. It is also a biz that needs to grow player base, profits, and improve its' cost benefit position. All of these things make calling it simply an 'internet spaceship game' ludicrous. That title should more aptly go to something like galaga. Your assumptions suck which is why your commentary and conclusions suck. I don't get on the forums often... but thankyou, op, for reinforcing my belief that inane and verbose bs can still easily pass for intelligence on most gaming forums.
Silvensis Gallente	Posted - 2010.03.28 09:13:00 - [48] Originally by: Bellum Eternus And no, "it's an MMO" isn't a sufficient answer. I assume if you're going to ask a question you're asking us to decide what we think's a sufficient answer. Otherwise you're basically just saying you only want answers that agree with you - in which case why bother asking the question? My feeling is that Farmville in space is just fine. If it brings people in and they enjoy it, and it isn't mandatory for those who aren't interested, there's no problem. Same with 'Spacebook'. If it's there for those who want it, but not required of those who don't, that's cool too. This is the sort of thing that will enrich EVE and widen its appeal - again, the key point is that it shouldn't be crucial to playing the game. Your point about what happens when the Dust players get bored is fair, but a) presupposes that they will get bored (the stereotype view that console players have short attention spans, etc, and an assumption that CCP won't be able to keep it interesting); and b) that there won't be a system in place to take up the slack if it does happen. So yes, you make one reasonable point - although a loss of interest amongst Dust players won't be so sudden that it leaves us capsuleers high and dry. And otherwise, I honestly think you're kind of overreacting. I really can't see that the new features will be as bad as you seem to expect.
3rr0rc0d3 Amarr Dies Irae Veniendum Est	Posted - 2010.03.28 11:53:00 - [49] Originally by: Bellum Eternus CCP is designing more avenues of attention to herd player attention back towards the game. Eve has always been like this. Why else would you play an MMO with a constant progression if you lack the will to commit to the game? 0.0 players are a good example of this, some go as far as setting their alarmclocks in the middle of the night because there's an OP. CEO's and directors are another good example, as some have little time to actually play the game, because they're otherwise occupied by administrative tasks. Originally by: Bellum Eternus do we really care/want our Eve game to be contaminated with an FPS? Is that why we play Eve? To interact with console players? Why would this be a bad thing? I recently took a break from Eve to give my PS3 a bit more attention and besides the obvious difference in games, there's really not that much different in community terms. Don't generalize the community tied to consoles, not everyone is a 12 year old shouting "h4a4a4a4axxxxxxx!!!!!11oneone111eleven!". Also, you as a pirate should be welcoming this, as it gives CCP a chance to implement new players for you to victimize. Originally by: Bellum Eternus Why not just launch a separate IP? That way if (when) it gets boring for the console guys it won't impact Eve. CCP has stated on several occasions that Dust514 and Eve will be seperate games with an interaction level that is completely replacable. If Dust514 doesn't work like CCP envisions it, they can pull the plug on Dust514 while keeping the Eve universe as it is, including the planetary interaction. Dust514 in itself is a seperate game, and will not force Eve players to interact with Dust players, although it is highly recommended for a full gaming experience/immersion. Originally by: Bellum Eternus Do we really want/need farmville in space when we could have similar effort devoted to oh, say, mining redesign, exploration, industry, new ships, removal of local/intel revisions, re-purposing L4 missions... the list goes on. While I agree on the fact that some things are left hanging too long, CCP has designated a seperate team to Dust514 and is in no way slowing the process of developement down for Eve itself. Mining redesign is on the table already, with things like cometmining, planet ringmining and several other changes being thought up. Exploration has received a small overhaul when wormholes were introduced, giving the probing system a new interface and a somewhat lower learning curve. Although this is open for discussion, as the changes were not always welcomed with joy. The removal of local chat and re-purposing L4 missions are also subject to discussion in my opinion, as it caters more to pirates as yourself. (don't get me wrong, I have nothing against pirates, but I like my local chat and I like my L4's as they are, ie: subject to several play styles.) Originally by: Bellum Eternus How many people here currently play farmville on FaceBook? How many would play a CCP developed 'Spaceville' on FaceBook? Again, don't generalize and think the worst from the start. Not a Facebook fan? Take it up with Facebook, not CCP. Not a Farmville fan? Take it up with Zynga, not CCP. Social networking is hot in this day and age, makes good money and CCP is jumping on the bandwagon to increase revenue and thus generate more income to develop Eve and any other projects they're working on. Eve Gate will bring lots of improvements, such as out-of-game mail, the ability to organize events easier, personal RSS feeds, and maybe even the fact that it makes getting to know more people somewhat easier. (for example, if I came to the system you inhabit, you'd be thinking of a 101 ways to ransom me, instead of having a friendly chat) In conclusion, I see your point, and I understand the greater part of it as being overprotective. While you may be a hardcore player, others will have a more casual style of play, and you should consider the story from all sides. ______________________ Originally by: Verone Awwwww buhu.

Iaoth	Posted - 2010.03.28 13:10:00 - [51] EvE Online had had tamagotchies for years now. They are know in game as "Player Owned Structures" Just like the little japanese toys from yesteryear, these POS will cry to be fed, constantly need to have their nappy changed because it is full, and cry when someone comes along and starts beating up on it. Not a lot of difference, really.

Kweel Nakashyn shadow and cloaking Yggdrasill.	Posted - 2010.03.28 21:04:00 - [54] Edited by: Kweel Nakashyn on 28/03/2010 21:10:12 Edited by: Kweel Nakashyn on 28/03/2010 21:05:36 Originally by: Bellum Eternus To me, CCP seems to be peddling PI as a stepping stone to Dust514, but as Eve players, do we really care/want our Eve game to be contaminated with an FPS? You have a point. I think it's good thing for Eve but I see another problem. Do you still play Halo (the first game) ? How long did you played it ? And then ? Originally by: Bellum Eternus How many people here currently play farmville on FaceBook? How many would play a CCP developed 'Spaceville' on FaceBook? How many currently don't use FaceBook but are planning on participating in Eve Gate? How many use FaceBook and see Eve Gate as a complete parallel? Planets in Eve is another problem. As I see this, it seem to be time based. Farmville/Ogame are time based games and can be fine but these are boring at some moment. For time-based gameplay in Eve we have... Well, everything but pewpew. It's sad CCP didn't find an other gameplay mechanic. I'd have prefered chess/poker/anything else than watching jauges growing in 2d11h57m12s until I can move/have my stuff/apply my politics/launch missiles. They should have read the colony topics until the end and ask questions amha. And talk. ~ OSEF
lovely song	Posted - 2010.03.28 23:39:00 - [55] what a bad fat troll - grill him tyranis + planetary interaction + dust = excellent innovative idea never done before
Zartrader	Posted - 2010.03.29 00:15:00 - [56] Edited by: Zartrader on 29/03/2010 00:18:44 CCP wants the game to be all of the world, not just spaceships. This is consistent with that and the sandbox format is perfect for it too, as you do not have to keep updating content just to stay still. Also players put the effort in to make the content, CCP only needs to provide the tools and infrastructure. It's a no brainer to do this and CCP have been suggesting this for years, if anything they thought of it first rather than copying others. It's only development costs and technical limitations that have been stopping them. I don't know why people are worried about kiddies wrecking EVE. It is a separate IP and anyway console players are not all kiddies by a long way. Many will be well organised and competent. This will hopefully bring two major benefits to those who have no interest in it. More income CCP clearly needs to update and fix current content and by using cross use of code (which they stated in a dev report they were doing) they can import code to EVE for a very cheap cost. As long as they have isolated their investment costs and risks in this, which any competent company would have, there is nothing to lose and a lot to gain.

DWEnvision	Posted - 2010.03.29 01:19:00 - [58] Almost landed a 360 elite for a buck fifty two days ago. Didn't get it because I was a little slow on the draw and someone picked it up before me. I wasn't too upset. My first thought when I heard about it was Dust. lol But then after the fact, I was like, Oh well, I don't like console games anyhow. But then It might be cool. I'll have to rent it when it comes out and see what its like. I think that i can understand the logic behind CCP and the direction that they are focused on. I used to own my own landscaping business years ago. was pretty successful too thankfully. Thing is, at first early on, I was totally focused on the quality, not the quantity or combination of the two. As time went on, I found out that I wasn't making as much money as I should be considering the quality of my work. So i figured a change in philosophy would be wise to put in motion. BUt in order to make it happen, I had to lower the quality in order to get the quantity I wanted. There was nothing that i could do to keep it up to par while maintaining the quota that I had set for myself as realistic as it was. here's the thing, it was a business, and my wallet was fatter in the end because of the changes i made. such it life though. sometimes you have to sacrifice some quality in order to achieve goals. Personally, I don't mind the changes CCP is making. I've been playing this game for a while now, and I still love the game. I'm sure that what ever CCP decides to come out with, I will be online just as much if not more. Keep up the good work CCP..
Tarazed Aquilae	Posted - 2010.03.29 01:28:00 - [59] I know what Facebook is of course but IÆve never used it. And IÆm completely unfamiliar with the Farmville game or Tamagotchi. However, from your post I can gather what they are. I also donÆt know all that much about CCPÆs plans for this new expansion but I have seen the trailer. I can see where you are coming from I suppose. And, if the expansion merely amounts to a pointless tack on then you would be right. However, if done right the expansion could be incredible. Suppose, for example, that thousands of new trade goods were added, each with itÆs own benefit to a planet. And imagine that every planet had a station in orbit. These planets would buy and sell items at its orbiting station. Orders would automatically be placed according to some supply and demand algorithm. Not every item could be realistically produced on every planet. That would mean there would be a huge demand for people to move cargo around. In lowsec, the demand might drive up the price on items to fairly high levels and this would make it profitable to run loads of cargo to the planets there. And that would mean the pirates would have someone to shoot at. And maybe some of those trade goods would have negative effects on the planet but still be in demand, (such as drugs) The owners of the planet could declare these items contraband. Moving contraband in empire would still be dangerous but it could be very profitable to smuggle a load of contraband into an unfriendly area of 0.0, sneak to their planets, and sell your cargo. In fact, this could even become a new method of warfare as hostile alliances each try to move loads of militants, drugs, small arms, etc. onto a neighborÆs key planets. That was just off the top of my head and I donÆt know if thatÆs what CCP is really doing. But this new expansion could easily be the best one yet.
