What is disappointing is the lack of Dev responses and comments here. Sorry to say but It looks like my EVE online subscription will end when there is an MMO that shows me the original promise of EVE online, that of a space simulator that has all the things depicted in any Sci-Fi movie.
Star Citizen is close but isn't a true MMO. Its the MASIVE part that is its short coming. So it wont be able to effect historical on a scale like events in gamming as what we have experienced in EVE.
Eve has become stagnant. Its Imagination has had its breaks put on, were it can only iterate within its core self. This was not its original promise and vision. It has become a game of disappointments rather than the sandbox that has its Box opened to other parts of the beach. The sand has become dry and the box claustrophobic.
Many of the old time players are syndical of remembering the old promise. They only remember the failure of the over reach by CCP. Aspiring to have great goals is not a bad thing. Each year our computers become more powerful and the tech becomes more capable. Unfortunately fear seams to be the overriding influence to pushing forward and giving the players true reasons to continue to play; which is more... space, and places, even if the space is inside of my ship on a planet or in a station. With Dust514 and Valkyrie there was a promise that those venues would be part of a whole game yet that promise hasn't been fulfilled again.
Eve was the original promise and even if the technology isn't there to create in one game/platform all the gameplay of the original promise it should be the Hub that connects all of them. EVE should be profoundly affected by what goes on, on the ground in Dust514, and if there are space battles to be won Valkyrie pilots should be a force to contend with.
I do want to see planets defending there space from hostiles space ships by blowing them out of space from the ground. I do want to hire Dust mercs to help me not just blow someone else's ship up but take it from him by boarding it and shooting the pod jockey in the head. I want to have Valkyrie pilots at my disposal to help me disable my enemies capital ships so I can land my boarding party and take his stuff. being it his POS, his planet, or his titan.
I do want to get off my ship and hunt creatures on planets for sport or for gain. I do want to take a planet over and become its lord. I want to build cities and homes that look out onto alien vistas and see my factories billow smoke as they produce the finest ship that will blow up in glorious space wars.
I do want to call my friends and plan our secret meetings to take over the universe. or simply hang out and listen to some music and talk about my new baby girl that was just born, all from my home on a planet or on my capital ship or in my Station.
I think...this dream, the original dream that sparked this in my imagination is all right with all of you too. Lets be encouraging to CCP while we wait. Sooner or later this Dream WILL be fulfilled by someone. It would be great if CCP where to do it.
It will come and ill see you there. |
