But I'll wait and see, how the industry changes work out until the end of this year.
Making it so I can anchor a POS anywhere and greatly simplifying the UI (as well as) some kind of team based industry function?
Please, tell me what changes are making it impossible for you to casually play. From what I see, this will make me change training direction of one of my toons to go back to industry. Something I have hated because of how tedius everything is.
Let's go a little deeper here: If I'm lazy (or casual, no dig, but it sometimes has similar consequences), I don't ever have to look for an un-occupied manufacturing facility - I just get to pick one and pay more in taxes. From what I can tell the accessability will be much better for all parts of industry.
What it sounds like you're complaining about is that the NPC station you've lived at in the middle of nowhere will now not be the optimal research, production, and refining facility it once was.
Now CCP - onto NPC corps! |

What will keep me here for the next ten years is: 1.) new content coming out every once in a while like it has been 2.) problems, bugs, and balance issues getting fixed if and when they happen 3.) my budget doesn't ever run out
Even without new content, the game doesn't get stale very quickly. Just the same, I mostly lurk these days and don't really come online a whole lot anymore. But I'm still happily subscribed and that's what matters to CCP. I mostly play other games but I don't pay much money into them usually, since most of them only hold my interest briefly. I don't like to flit about to new games every few months, but unfortunately hardly anything out there has the long lasting appeal that EVE has. I don't think I'll be putting this game down for good any time soon. Fit a warfare link to your tech 1 battlecruiser. Train Wing Commander. Get in the Squad Commander or Wing Commander position. Your fleets will be superior to everyone else's. (had this sig BEFORE Odyssey BC rebalance) And bring back the missile Inquisitor!! |

As a 10 year vet, there really is not much that would keep me here for 10 years that has not kept me here the first 10.
There is no other game like eve, even that game that people are drooling over *cough*Star Citizen*cough* that is trying to be eve, but is not really, would draw me away for long.
I tend to go through waves, I will get a huge wind, get excited and fouced on eve for a year, then it dies and usually its my eve buds that make log in till I get the next wind. And a wind can be anything, I can list a few
1) mining (got me hooked)
2) running my own corp (was bored in CLS)
3) becoming an EvE Radio DJ (I was DJ Reaper like 8 years ago)
4) Running an alliance (the planning and build up and the actual alliance got me into it)
5) Partnering with IAC
6) The first 49-u war with IAC vs. Fix
7) My alliance at the time owning a station.
8) Apocacryto (WH's)
9) Second alliance incarnation
10) took a year off to have a kid, well my wife did, what got me hooked was IAC reforming
11) IAC breaking a part, I rebuilt my corp
12) back to WH's
13) a Corp theift.
There is no other game like eve, anywhere. No game where I can say 'hey bud, come play with me... oh no i'm not on a different server lol eve only has one server." instead of "Hey bud come play with me.. whats that? You are on orion? Crap you need to come to Saturn, yea that's the server I am on' No other game where I can talk to Asian farmers one day, Russians the next, French the next, and then yell at my English corp the next.
No other game where I don't have to grind to 'lvl up'
No other game with a completely open market and world. Crap I picked the race and class... i'm screwed.
Al these things, and more is what keeps me here. My wife has called EvE my mistress in the past, and she is right, I absolutely ******* love this game.
I'd like to see: more space, pos' being fixed, sov being fixed, and WiS actually doing stuff. More Dust and eve interaction Valk integration, and PI being more then a click fest. But honestly, and sadly, eves flaws is one of the reasons I love this place so much. |

If you are talking about the industry changes, I don't see it the same. As I said above, I have been here since 4/1/2004, 10 years. Removing slots is a BOOST. Making it so you have to use your pos is a boost to some and a nerf to others.
I don't see the complaints, it makes no since. Refining redo I welcome, even the loot reprocessing, as imo you should not be mining with guns. They learned that the hard way with the drone regions |

OMG , is this what we sound like before getting married and having kids ? lol.
Hint, when you reach my age, married (and in my case remarried) for years with teenaged children (and in my case, grown step children who themselves have children) and well established in a demanding career field, the even odds are you will just LOVE/CRAVE/NEED a distraction like EVE Online, if for nothing else but the maintenance of sanity.

Right now I want them to focus on fixing the game as they have been doing. The faster the better, then they can get to huge eye candy content all the sooner. The old cycle of tossing in new content to just leave as old broken content, I hope is dead.
In the meantime, maybe they could start doing Live Eve Events more often, it doesn't take much development resource to do that. It doesn't need to be fancy, nor loaded with rewards, just some basic organizational efforts to get various things in motion. |

Well first of all, I just hope the game lasts that long.
Secondly, they need to commit to the game, not the little extraneous crap that keeps cropping up that is unrelated to EVE. That means they need to scrap WiS, among other things.
They also need to get rid of the immergence breaking, binary features in the game. CONCORD being chief among them. As far as a "solution" to highsec aggression goes, it is heavy handed and smothers potential gameplay and mechanic improvements by virture of it existing in the first place.
The last and most important thing is that they MUST update the outdated mechanics in the game. Drones are disgracefully out of date, the POS system is one of the worst mechanics in gaming, and Sov needs fixed desperately. 2 of those are technical limitations, which are presently rendered unfixable largely by neglect. Which is where the "stop wasting time on things that aren't EVE" comes into place. Just think what they could have done with all that dev time in Incarna if they hadn't wasted it on nonsense features.

You should get as high of a C level as you can that still has a highsec static. That way, whichever system you pop up in will feel your wrath, like your own personal Incursion. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

Essentials: A full and total revamp of the sovereignty mechanics, getting rid of the structure grind in favour of mechanics that require corps and alliances to actually use or lose the space they're claiming.
A full and total revamp of nullsec logistics including both outposts and POS, reducing both the costs of and restrictions to deploying nullsec infrastructure in order to allow alliances to ultimately operate autonomously if they develop a sufficient industrial base to do so.
The complete removal of the jump mechanic, no jump bridges, no jump drives. All ship movement to be done via gates, integrate warp to 0 into the autopilot.
These changes allow (indeed they require) actual occupation and utilisation of nullsec by those that would claim it, while limiting them to only being able to claim that space which they can actually defend without the ability to traverse the entire map in a matter of minutes.
Nice to haves: A full and total revamp of resource (both ISK and material) production across the board, There currently exist a variety of systems for producing resources ranging from those requiring near total player attention to those that are almost totally passive, the main issue being those requiring the most attention are some of the most boring and least rewarding activities in the entire game.
A full and total revamp of the entire spectrum of PvE content, from lvl1 missions to 10/10 complexes and incursions from +1 all the way to-1 sec. All with the end goal of making said PvE content both challenging and unpredictable at all skill and equipment levels across Eve.
The conversion of Dust 514 to the PC and its full integration into the Eve client to the point that characters can freely swap between the two, the idea that people who don't play Eve can have any meaningful impact upon it is no less bad now than when it was first conceived. Further development to expand the scope and scale of ground combat operations within the Eve Universe.

I'd agree with the removal of jump bridges whether from a pos bridge or a titan bridge, this has actually made players to lazy and complain about long trips. "integrate warp to 0 into the autopilot" confirms my point on that. I personally would love to see those players myself do 100 jumps in a freighter to see how they would feel after that.
There is a lot of things I'd love to see done but I know that a lot of people on the forum's would be against it and some of it wouldn't even be considered considering it would mess with ccp's income too. (notice I said on the forums) since not all of the eve populace even bother reading the forums.
Sov mechanics do need a complete overhaul pve content needs readdressing including increasing the amount of missions available while leaving level 1 missions alone to help build players up to gain a little more experience before proceeding onto the next level's. redoing the game code so that its possible to do more things in the game without the current drawbacks / tidi issues. new content to give the game more life |

I'll disagree with your second point. I think for some, making WiS better and actually work would be a huge improvement to the game. Sometimes, if all I am doing is sitting in a station and recruiting, or chatting in corp, or coordinating alliance, I would rathr walk my char to a bar and drink or gamble, or emote then spin my ship round and round. That would make the 'i'm chilling' game play more enjoyable. They should allow space barbies to actually happen, esp if the competition get it out, but do it well and complete it.
Also not sure why you think Concord is game breaking. Why wouldn't the empires have a joint police force to deal with idiots in there systems? Or they could just replace concord with the faction navy.
Though, if they allowed players to form there own version of concord and police systems themselves, while making it easier to respond, that could be interesting. |
