1. So I have come to like more "mature" MMOS and eve struck me as one of the best.
I started playing 2 months ago and just lost all the friends I brought into eve.
2. This game is simply way too punishing for new players. Just to be slightly effective it takes about 1.5 years of training.
3. Then you have some of the basics and can still not do anything special.
4. My first month of eve was great... But it was all just theoretical fun. All I did was plan stuff and study about the game and it's mechanics.
5. So I brought 4 of my friends in which all payed for 1 month + trial. They loved the first month of eve and into the seconds month they all saw just how truly pathetic they were in terms of SP. Everything they wanted to do was years of training away
6. I was going to quit as well until I heard of the character bazaar. So I dropped a huge load of $ to buy a pilot that could actually play the game.
7. I am sure the long SP training ques are CCP's way of "milking" $ out of us.
8. Which proves a point to me. Every one that I have spoken to that plays eve has at least 1-4 alts.
So that in itself proves how low the game population actually is.
9. Now this isn't a troll or whining thread.
10. If CCP truly wanted to make more $ something needs to be done about SP.
11. The longer the game progresses the more useless new players become.
12. Could you imagine starting to play WOW right now and have to grind through all of those expansions just to start playing the game at 90... Then the game only starts right?
13. So this is as constructive as a new player can get.
I am not mad in any way.
14. I actually want to help eve grow, that's the whole reason of this thread.
I want to know if anything is being done about the huge SP brick wall.
15. From what I am seeing the summer change is making it even harder for new players.
Battle cruisers were a huge win for new players as it didn't take too long to fly them and now it's even taking that small win away from new players.
16. So all I am asking is what is being done about this huge problem EVE faces?
17. Who can I talk to about this to make it apparent?
18. This game is truly great but how does any new player have a chance at experiencing that greatness?
19. I truly want to see this game grow so help me talk to the right people.
20. If I could talk to the right people I could really guarantee new players sticking around instead of getting discouraged and quitting.
Regards: Hefty
1. Make new friends in EVE. There are no rules against making new friends.
2. This is your opinion. However this is not fact.
3. again, opinion. Not fact.
4. My opinion here is that you were doing it wrong. Maybe if you'd actually tried played the game instead of reading up on things you might have actually learned something.
5. So when they go to college, do they moan and complain after a month because they are not masters of whatever they are studying? Some things take time. Part of the reward of EVE is accomplishing something or completing a skill that lets you do something new. If that doesn't sound like your thing and you want stuff handed to you on a silver platter, go back to WOW. EVE is not meant to be easy.
6. What happened? did you learn that SP are not the be all and end all of this game? player skill is just as important as SP.
7. You are of course an expert. You have been playing for a couple months. Why you could probably write a number of books detailing everything there is to know about EVE and CCP.
8. Well I guess you are wrong again. I know plenty of people with only one account. Players that have been around for years.
9. I beg to differ
10. Yes, because the game hasn't been going for almost a decade already. CCP should hurry or it might not last another decade.
11. More opinions from our new expert EVE player.
12. So are you suggesting here that new players should start with 100mil SP? It sound a lot like you are. Maybe they should also get a free titan.
13. Yes you are
14. No you don't. You are just moaning about something you know nothing about instead of trying to learn how to play the game properly.
15. How exactly? They are making the battle cruiser skill a racial skill. You can still hop in to a BC in the same amount of time. Some might say they are making it easier for you to get in to a BC.
16. Nothing because nothing needs to be done.
17. Features and Ideas sub-forum. But maybe you should be more specific when you post there. Post exactly what you are trying to skill up for, how you are doing it, how long it takes, what your goal is etc etc. Don't just pluck random numbers and rubbish assumptions out of your backside.
18. Undock, do some epic arc missions, speak to people in the game, join a training corp like RvB or EVEUni, go to lowsec and have a fight. In other words, PLAY THE GAME.
19. If you truly want to see it grow, stick around. When you have an actual idea about how the game works, then think about how exactly it can be improved. Post your suggestion in the correct forum and don't act like a child when people say things you dont like.
20. You sound like you think you know what you are talking about but you don't. CCP know their game. If you start demanding changes when you obviously dont know anything about the game, do you really think they will listen to you?
There. I think I answered your questions. No doubt you will not read what I wrote and just say "You have not answered my questions blah blah blah. |
