I've just browsed through the Ghost Sites thread in TSF and a question came up which I didn't want to post there because :offtopic: but:
I noticed several times where you mentioned a lot of your development time in recent months was spent developing/improving internal tools to work on game content. This led me to wondering how you envision the development of PvE content in the, let's say, mid-term future, specifically as it pertains to missions.
I'm wondering if, using your new tools, you're planning to eventually replace all the current missions; change them around somehow; or simply add new ones.
I'm not looking for a specific timeline, just curious how you and your fellow PvE content designer(s) envision the future of missions.
Thanks.
Fake edit: wouldn't be me if I didn't leave a snarky comment, so: please un-sticky the PvE Little Things thread as abandoned threads should diaf. |

Good question but in my opinion I don't see any major update happening to missions within the next couple of years.
Course I wouldn't bet on it since CCP seems to suffer from ADD, ie, will start working on something and before it's completed starts working on something else.

Hey :)
Sorry for the late reply, I just noticed this thread. I can't directly answer if we will be updating all missions - that kind of direction would come from our senior producer :) I will be spending a lot of the next release continuing to work on tools and hopefully you will notice some improvements to PvE or new kinds of PvE in the future.

could you guys please look into fixing some of the years-long outstanding bugs relating to complexes?
no unlock trigger in serpentis minor annex, despite being able to spawn and kill the special NPC that should drop the trigger. no mwd allowed in guristas 3/10 "CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"
Never forget. |

To add to that:
No mwd allowed in some 5/10s (specifically i know of guristas ones that you recieve as an expedition - this would maybe also mean some of the other ones that were introduced later). These 'expedition' 5/10s also suffer from another problem, which i won't mention here (people might remember it from when the 'new' 5/10s were released).
Also, altho i guess it's not really a bug, please reintroduce the ability to use acceleration gates cloaked. I think the change to how cloaked ships will handle stargate jumps made it also impossible to get in complexes without being seen. You will now always approach the acceleration gate until you decloak. It's so easy now to just park the cloaked scanner on grid to the acceleration gate and when you see someone decloak to get in warp your plex runner out.

because having a second person/account dedicated to sitting on the gate and doing nothing is easy? i see that as significant opportunity cost. I kind of think the brief decloak is good to reward someone who is twitchy with the short-range d-scan. I think its a mistake to balance everything around the assumption that everyone has an alt in their back pocket. I was a single-account explorer for a long time.

I used to explore solo for quite a while, too. I am just reporting what i am seeing (and doing myself) - and yes in my experience a lot of ppl do the 'watching the accel gate' thing now. I just think that the removal of the ability to get into plexes cloaked was not warranted - you would have to carefully sneak up on the accel gate and be in the right alignment to not decloak when using the gate. And even then the chances of decloaking on the beacon inside (or cans that players used to drop) was pretty high. As it is a player inside the plex, that has eyes (hell even a 1 week old dude that can cloak would technically do) on the outside, is totally safe if he keeps at least a mediocre amount of attention - he doesn't need that alt watching even, if he just spams shortscan often enough.
But yeah, it was probably a pretty niche activity. |
