CCP, why are you guys so deseperate to get players into 0.0? I just don't get it. I've paid for three accounts for 10 months now and still to this very day can't wait to come home from work and play.
I enjoy the fact that I can run missions and there are so many different bonuses that I can get. Going to nothing but ISK and LP's is really boring to me. Its like saving up tickets at the carnival and seeing the same wall of stuffed animals to choose from.
It really bothers me that you have Viceroy aka "TheHighwayMan" whining in Dev chat about his views on this game having input on other ppls future.
I can care less about PVP in this game. Point to Point Ganking does not appeal to me. If I wanted to invest time and money into a PVP game I sure as heck wouldn't be here. You guys have put waaay to much other content in this game, then for me to sit at a gate for hours roasting hotdogs and marshmellows waiting for the next 1 month old in a Badger to come through.
Up until now I would say this game has totally rocked for 10mths. It just appears that you're trying to appeal to the 25% that are sitting in 0.0 lonely.
Thanks.
A-FN-MEN Brother. I've with Corb on this. Also I want to add more.
--On making agent missions HARDER: Ravens are the only pilots doing Lvl4 missions right away. Show me an Apoc pilot that can solo Angels Extravaganza with only a couple months of training. When you make Lvl4 missions harder, all the fn oldies will benefit while the younger players get hosed. I been playing 3 months now and I cant beat Lvl4 missions *grouping* with a friend. But I bet those 15m+ folks will have no problem. No matter what CCP does to lvl4 missions, HARDER = Tougher on younger players than it is older ones.
You shouldnt take content away from people, instead add new content for the 15m+ sp crowd. (lvl5 agents maybe?)
--On making missions pay less: Again, wait until AFTER the missile nerf. The two kinds of people rolling in the ISK is raven pilots and oldies. I make about 2m an hour running lvl3 missions. Thats too much???
--On driving people into 0.0 space: Wow, absolutely retarded. There is no other word for it besides retarded. Hurray!! Push 2.6m skillpoint me out with the 20m sp bloodythirsty BORED ubers. Geee.. I can hardly wait. This is where some clown says "Its not the amount of skillpoints, but your skill as a pilot" Of course thats a falsehood, there arent any 20m sp idiots roaming 0.0 space waiting for a 2m sp pilot to come waste him. I cant believe CCP is listening to the bloodythirsty newb-slayers. I dont want to go into deepspace. I dont want to be a moving target with a big friggen sign that says "Started mid-2005, blast MEH!!" And for heavens sakes I dont want to lose the very implants that I need to get these long drawn out "basic" skills that everyone else has (I'm still working on Gunnery5, and planning on Electron5 and Engineering5 ASAP). What exactly is going to be enjoyable about being penniless in empire space or flat out DEAD in 0.0???? Nothing.
--On forced grouping: I would like to see group content. I do not want to see it at the EXPENSE of solo content. I'd love to have missions that require 2 or 3 people to complete, but the payout should be 2 or 3x the money prior to being divided up. I had recently been pushing us to do Lvl4 missions as a team, we tried one last night and failed. The payout difference between lvl4 and lvl3 make me want to try again. If you nerf it so none of them payout at all, whats the point? Read the above paragraph, I'm not interested in being someones moving TARGET in 0.0 space. Take away the missions and rewards and you've taken away the game for me. If there is no game, guess what happens next?
If your getting rid of chokepoints, thats great. If your opening up space, wonderful. That will encourage some people to spread out, Im sure. The missile changes should drop the amount of cash flowing into some peoples pockets dramatically. Wait and see before going nerf-happy. But you cant just push all the young players into 0.0 space and expect us to like it (or stick around for it).
Oh wait, I forgot we dont have to, we can stay in empire space earning no ISK until our ship blows up, then use the insurance to buy the model down till we're done. I forgot that choice. It is easy to see why.
