but CCP continue to NOT fix things that we have been asking for a very long time.

they dont fix what isnt broke, where other MMOs have massive, gamebreaking bugs that no one knows about and are constantly abused, EVE has massive, unpopular features that are supported by the minority

[quote=Lost True][quote=Gilbaron]two new "space-sims" are coming

snip...

Like i said if only half of the vision of this game is true ,CCP has serious competition
For now there is nothing else like EvE and his genre " sci-fi"

Well, not entirely true, there is evochron mercenaries, which is also sandbox and also multiplayer, but it's not in the same league as EVE...

That's kind of a double edge sword to be honest, since there will be older players that will stick around and continue to develop their skills and the amount of money they have, but need objectives to aim for and in this respect, CCP has failed horribly as they still conform to the idea that the average EVE player plays the game for a year before quitting, so they concentrate on content that's relatively easy to aim for within that time period.


There are those, even if we're a minority, who have played the game since it's very beginning, and did so non stop and where objectives to aim for are getting pretty much non existant once an entire decade has passed since having started on this EVE adventure......Fact is there hasn't been any content for the older player base in years, as the focus for CCP has been the new player experience pretty much exclusively.


They're running the game by the numbers basically and concentrating their efforts on content that affects the widest possible amount of players, wich unfortunately leaves out the much older players who CCP take for granted and feel they don't have to do a single thing anymore, even if it furthers the gap between newer and older players wich i'm sure many will bring this up as a counter argument to adding more content for the older players.


Too many of the old guard have either left out of sheer boredom, or simply log on to change skills and log off right away.....

I think you fail to realize that "end game" content for older players is not for CCP to make. EVE is also different from any other MMORPGs because the players make the "end game" content, not the developer. If you want developer generated content in EVE, go run missions, sites or live in a c5/c6 WH with other players. If you want if you want actual end game content, join a nullsec alliance or live in a c6 WH. You have to have logi and maybe a cap ship just to run anoms in those sites. The point is to get any kind of descent content out of EVE, you have to make a plan and join up with others to help in your ventures for said plans. If you want a 40 man raid, then make a 40 man fleet and roam in a nullsec alliances territory. From what I hear, they are bored to tears anyway.

Anyone ever play Vendetta? Seems to be an Eve copy, but I havent tried it. Im kinda getting bored of Eve (again). I just cant dedicate the time it takes to be where I want to be.

and i like this one

Just read this and drool: Bengal class carrier WIP.

That's a ship, 1 kilometer long, and you can walk around all of it, 12 million polygons of 3D glory forged straight from the "function makes the form" school of starcraft design.

It just may take them a couple years to finish. They have been working on it since '06. But its just a couple guys making it work and have a huge ambition. They are planning a kickstarter finally. Up until this, they havent accepted any real donations from anyone other then peoples time.

That's the whole problem right there to be honest.......Pretty much all of the older player base are stinking rich, have the best implants and hardwirings in game, is flying either a super carrier or a titan, has tons of skills trained up and you want them to endlessly PVP in all it's forms when there's nothing to gain for said people in any way that significantly affects them.


So the " end game content" simply isn't there if it means repeating the same things dozens or even hundreds of times out of boredom and nothing more.

Yet people buy COD every 6 months in the millions.

Can I have your EVE stuff?

Anybody who wishes EvE was twitch-based, try Star Conflict. It's on Steam, and it's awesome, though only arenas atm.

CCP could have implemented twitch-based arenas in some form or another, but no, they kept on going with their alt-based business model, which means you basically need to fund several accounts if you want to get anywhere solo in this game, or get recognition in your corp, since NO OFFICERS EVER in any meaningful corp only have a single account. Most have more than three.

I dearly wish that all those new upcoming space game nos the hell out of the EvE playerbase, since CCP has gone the way of the greedy and cynical, forcing people to pay (in time or RL) more than one account to get anywhere in this game.
