1) dental drill flagging alarms - my speakers easily reproduce them; my ears easily hear them - they are annoying as hell. I have many other complaints about the new sounds. In fact, I would say that the new sounds have been engineered by morons. And QC ? I guess it does not exist at CCP.

I have yet to see CPP answering this one.
So many complaints were made about the sound, and they ignore it.
Not the best thing to go around and ignore players, in case you forgot we pay for your product.
So whats with sounds then???

Dear Player:
You p!ss us off with your constant bitching. Enjoy the carbon "gift" we gave you in return for your subscription.
Maybe if you shut your trap we'll upgrade it to a mini monolith so you can have a handful of stars that you can stare at in wonder while waiting for the NPC jamming to cease for 2 seconds. We even gave you glitchy fireworks and snowballs and yet you still b!tch.

Well dear player, go fornicate yourself with an iron rod and give us our money. We worked hard recording iron bars dropping on the floor, doors slamming, and Jim Carey's "most annoying sound in the world" to make the alarms. All this took us about 5 mins to record and 9 months to butcher the coding for the game to integrate.

So stop your moaning already, bend over and take it like the little ho you are.

Sincerely,
CCP

i think this thread is one of may favorite threads it's full of carebear tears which makes my heart feel warm.

it makes me laugh that carebears refuse to adapt .

CCP make many changes to the game some good some bad and some irrelevant.

the one constant is that we adapt.

yes missions are almost unchanged in difficulty once you learn how to make the new AI work for you.

now on the other hand rather than crying that your making less isk why dont you realise that T1 ships are OP and cheap so you dont need as much so why are you crying?

I like the way over the years people have complained about mining and isk etc etc.. and the responces where stop bitching and get over it.

now the ratters and missioners have been hit a blow its all hell let loose... my response to you guys is stop bitching and get on with it, as I have been told many a time when I complained about mining and production (usually one career in the eve universe) over the years..

STOP BITCHING, ACEPT THE CHANGES AS THE INDY GUYS HAVE HAD TO OVER THE YEARS WHEN WE HAD REASON TO COMPLAIN (Still do really)...

All because the bigger career (isk maker) in eve has been hit its all complaints now.. you make me laugh... as they say what comes around goes around.. its your turn now to cry for a good few years of complaining.. before you get a boost to your isk making...

Dear CCP and fellow gamers

I see myself as longtime player of EVE Online and for first time ever the new patch instead of sparking new interest in the game did something opposite. I found myself disappointed not by the numerous bugs (which are really annoying, but I have got used that your beta testers are not the best) but with the changed content.

I cannot really understand your hate for Caldari race - before the patch there were 4 ships worth flying by Caldari : Tengu, Drake, Falcon and Basilisk. I have no idea what overpowered you seen in rockets or jammers, but now the ONLY usable ship is Basilisk. (of course you can use what you wish, but people will not be flying Caldari ships anytime soon).
You should really buff the Caldari ships... as their ships sucks (and hybrids - long range are... lol)

Second mistake you did was nerfing pve in general, probably the nerf of rockets were to make missioning useless. Same with the drone aggro, and EWAR. The question to you is - how you plan to keep the casual gamers in the game when you destroyed their primary activity ?
You think that the person who logs every 1-2 day and makes 3-4h of mission to fly pvp in the weekend (or just gather money for better ship) will start to mine, use PI, trade or move to 0.0 (or wormhole) ? I think not.
I think you should cancel those changes and add some other more challenging PVE as option.

Third one are the sounds - removal of the jukebox and changing large content without even brief acceptance from community is... silly. You have large community and if you think that when only 20% of the players used jukebox it can be removed ? You even claim that the number of game clients with sound on increased from 80 to 83%, but mine question is, how it is now, and how it will be in the next month. Because if it will be under 80% it means you FAILED.
Mine proposal is return the jukebox and add into it basic player capabilities like playlist and repeat.

Fourth change I actually liked was bounty system, its great thing but you should add two things - new players under 1 month should be safe from bounty system. Another thing is, to receive bounty your security status should be under 0.0 (or you did any crime during last month). This changes should protect people from receiving bounties after asking a question in help channel.

Fifth change you did is nerfing orca (by removing unscannable hangar) and nerfing blockade runner by making them unscannable. Orca nerf made trader profession much more difficult - you can be easily ganked now (thanks to introduced T3 battlecruiser), and paper thin tank of blockade runners which will be shot on sight now.
I have no idea why you are constantly buffing gankers... anyway, I think you should either return back unscannable ship hangar to orca, or make transport ships (which have proper tank) unscannable as well.

The greatest flaw in your thinking is that you know better what you change and how to do it better than 100k+ of the players. You love to change the things that are working, while totally ignoring bugs that persist to exist for many years. You ignore the opinions of the players from test server, you ignore feedback only to wake up when your player base start to shrink.
The bug I am asking you to remove, for years now are totally useless roles in corporations. If you have POS you can forget to customize roles (there are starbase operator, fuel technican and corporate - only three levels), which could be connected with corp hangar divisions and corporate titles. It should be maximum one week of work for 1-2 people to do it. But instead you change / remove the useful things.

I really donGÇÖt now what to think, as I feel ignored (and therefore not sure if there is any point in writing this post) - you are not even pretending to pay attention to this forum topic. Maybe in the future changes you should introduce voting system and do votes for some of the changes...

Best regards

Why CCP can not turn off all NPC EWAR, and after that think aboutit's purposes.?

Because then the gulf between PVE and PVP will widen even further, and the poor sucker who tries PVP for the first time after fighting NPCs will have no idea what happened when they come across their first Arbitrator. CCP is trying to close that gap, at least to the extent possible....

Would be if the NPC ships use same stats like the other ships. But god sake a frig use TD/TP/jammer from 100km range with 2 sec pauses ?

Yeah... my thoughts exactly.
