These changes are moronic and cater to people too illiterate and incapable to be playing this game to begin with. I do not approve of any of these changes and hope they are withdrawn.

This smells of the homogenization and nerfing that has sent every other MMO into the dirt. This game is what it is because it requires attention and some reading skills. I do not want to lose this to the crybaby masses.

this is eve online, where we fit Alumel Omni ECCM Sensor Array to our ships. a little less clarity in the name of a skill is a fair price to pay for not feeling like an idiot while talking about it. multiple targeting sounds like multiple sclerosis and has to go away.

Stomping your feet and crying 'I want 10 years ago", doesn't seem to separate you much from those crybaby masses you so seem to hate.

1. it takes a lot of money to properly develop a video game long term, CCP has failed at this and that is why this game feels so "10 years old", when other games have done a much better job of keeping up with the times because they have the financial resources to do it.

2. As CCP brings in outside management talent i can assure you it isn't because they felt like they were on the right path with their past development ideology and resultant cash flow problem and small player base (no, i dont have access to CCPs financial records but i do understand the concept of 'lost opportunity costs' and CCP has lost out on millions if not tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars they could have used to keep this now antiquated game current).

3. The only hope this game has for a better tomorrow doesn't lie in the hands of players or developers that would shun casual players so stomp your feet and huff and puff all you like but we casuals will win because there are more of us in the gaming world and we have a lot more money to offer CCP if it plays to our desires and in the final analysis investors don't care if you like the changes or not they care about their quarterly profits and that is precisely what we casuals will give them.

4. btw, this response is appropriate to about 10 other respondents that are wondering why CCP cannot seem to keep up with necessary changes to their game, its simple EVE has been mismanaged and until the management starts making some serious changes CCPs financial constraints will have this game falling farther and farther behind other games in terms of its development.

All the skill names are just so confusing. You should really dumb everything down such that there is no imagination or flavor involved anymore. New player confusion will be immediately fixed this way. Suggestions:

[SBVP]

Remember, the goal is to prevent any confusion or learning for new players. Gotta focus on that.

1. Spaceship Command +1
2. Target Acquisition / Advanced Target Acquisition +1
3. Subsystem skills independent category +1
4. Planetary Interaction skills independent category +1

My personal thoughts:
Thanks alot, I just started a video series using all these old names.

masterfully trolled. Or searingly ignorant. Either way, you go, girl.

Edit: Or possibly much too aware of the truth and not interested in trying to change the course of things.

I would leave Weapon Upgrades and AWU in Gunnery since their primary/secondary stats are more in line with that group. They would be the only ones in the new Engineering group that would be Perception/Willpower.

All the skill names are just so confusing. You should really dumb everything down such that there is no imagination or flavor involved anymore. New player confusion will be immediately fixed this way. Suggestions:

Frequency Modulation -> EW Falloff Improvement
Sensor Linking -> Sensor Module Capacitor Use
Signal Dispersion -> ECM Strength
Energy Pulse Weapons -> Smartbombs
Tactical Shield Manipulation -> Low Shield Armor Protection
AWU -> Weapon Powergrid Usage
Controlled Bursts -> Turret Capacitor usage
Gunnery -> Turret Damage
Sharpshooter -> Turret Optimal Range
Surgical Strike -> Advanced Turret Damage

I could keep going, but you get the idea. Dumb everything down to take the flavor out.

Also, I suggest changing all ship names to their ship class and a number, it's way too hard to remember all those ships. for example, Amarr Frigate I, II, III. Or you could do Amarr Light Cruiser, Amarr Heavy Cruiser, Amarr EW Cruiser. This would help a lot.

1. Thanks for the edit, that was quite decent of you.

2. I don't post troll, if i post it i believe it to be true (although you are entitled to disagree as you see fit)

3. um....why am i a girl?

4. I am very keenly interested in changing the face of EVE, just not in the direction you apparently prefer.

It's true, I don't prefer it. I enjoyed WoW for awhile and then this happened to it and ruined the elitist aspects I personally find most enjoyable. It's only natural that I would react defensively.

I do see that you're interested in changing the face of the game. As I said I don't like it, but my opinion isn't likely to be relevant in the end. I'm keenly aware of it.

Also, you're a girl because it's a churlish and petty way of being offensive on the internet, obviously. Or in grade school. They're the same thing, anyway.

I'm with this guy.

"Spaceship Piloting" is a little too limp-wristed.
