Pestillence Revelations Inc.	Posted - 2006.09.11 11:22:00 - [32] Originally by: Skoke You want to inherit 5.97 million annoying 8-16 year olds from games like WOW? I would rather stick to the mature playerbase that Eve already has and be able to enjoy ourselves personally.... WTS Sense of humour It never ceases to amaze me that people take these posts seriously. If someone jumped up and down on your toes waving his arms screaming so hard spittle flecked your face "ITS A JOKE!, ITS A JOKE!!!!11!!!1!" - You'd still take it seriously.
wild Ari Euphoria Released Euphoria Unleashed	Posted - 2006.09.11 11:45:00 - [33] 1.2. make skilling Jovian require running missions repeatly while very time you use a jovian module or ship your sec status drops a bit and a few 100k are added to your player bounty and you are attackable everywhere w/o concord protection. 1.3. when reaching -5 you show up on the map 1.4. no clones for jovian characters 9. customizable ships (yay - pink apocs!)
Adonis 4174	Posted - 2006.09.11 11:58:00 - [34] If somebody attacks you with a full T2 setup they drop 50 ISK when killed but killing them increases your standing with someone you really couldn't care less about. ----- Russell T Davies is my master now.
Evelyn Lavi	Posted - 2006.09.11 12:54:00 - [35] We need to be get more ignorant people (like the people who take the OP's post seriously) to jump on board to win the numbers game! Here's how: Add in aliens! Yes! Make sure they follow the "Proud warrior people with leather getups" and "faggy pretentious aliens that are smarter than everyone" stereotypes and make 'em playable!
Auritt Caldari Solar Storm Axiom Empire	Posted - 2006.09.11 14:18:00 - [36] I loved the SWG reference in point 1. Very true. People return to Eve because it's a proper game. The rest seem to be fun for a while whilst Eve maintains it's integrity. Auritt
Constituo Caldari Enterprise Estonia Veritas Immortalis	Posted - 2006.09.11 14:23:00 - [37] You forgot the necromancer skill and module. With this module you will be able to reanimate corpses who will follow you into the battle. And you can buy better ships for them. With necromancy V you will able to control 5 souls.
Vanlade Amarr Imperial Academy	Posted - 2006.09.11 15:06:00 - [38] Originally by: Sigurd Ross Having visited a lot of other forums, such as the ones on MMORPG.com, I have come to the conclusion that we are inferior to other MMOs, in particular Lineage 2 and World of Warcraft, because we don't have the Six Million Players (tm) that seems to be the yardstick for quality for the masses. Let me, without further ado, propose some ways EVE can win the numbers game! 1. Make the Jovians a playable class! Er... I mean race. Yes, make them unlockable, but only after you blow up a few hundred super-elite rat spawns and loot "jovian crystals" that tell you which factions you need to grind up to 9.9. There are five total, and the last one is a secret, where the crystal tells you "the crystal remains silent." Now, this worthy soul, after mission grinding for, say, Republic Security Services, Dai Lai, and Zoar and Sons, can "unlock" a new Jovian character slot, with uber skillz right out of the bag! 2. Instanced battlegrounds! Yeah! You wait in line for about an hour, then your ship is teleported to a "disputed space" instance. A really big flag is on either side of a deadspace zone, and the first to run the flag to the other side, wins! Or... you can opt out and disconnect, waiting for your side to have a bigger blob for a guaranteed win. 3. Raids! There's nothing more epic and heroic than gathering up 40 of your "friends" and kicking down the door of some deadspace rat, banging on it with missile and sniper spam for five minute stretches. One uber module is then dropped, which everyone can whine over. 4. Heal0rz! This is very important. Get rid of all armor repair and shield boosters and make logistics ships not only necessary, but uber! Nothing like refusing to do anything until "teh heal0r" slot is filled! And nothing like refilling the shield and armor bars of your friends while they fight stuff. Right? RIGHT? 5. Solo pwnmobiles! The oldschool gankers are right. Battleships need to be completely invulnerable to anything but another battleship, because getting the skillpoints for one entitles you to it. In fact, make "epic battleships" that require raids to aquire, that pwn regular battleships! 6. Levels! My level 41 frigate pwnz your level 39 frigate, noob! 7. Sex appeal! We need to have full-body avatars with the choice of leotards, bikinis, gravity-defying glue-on clothing and much much more to bring in the horny teenager crowd. Anime-up everyone's appearance too, so SonGoku666 can live out his wildest dreams while private convoing DrowGrrrl69. 8. Most important of all: We need an "awesome story" like World of Warcraft. Which means everyone should get a chance to kill the leader of each NPC pirate corp at least twice a day, save the galaxy three times a day, and be the "hero of the Federation" and get a cool non-tradable medal that everyone else has, too. Who's with me? Most Excellent Post! A game that would appeal to today's majority of gamers would be... just like that. Stupid. EvE is the best, and it not meant for everyone. This post made my day. - Vanlade
Sigurd Ross	Posted - 2006.09.11 22:32:00 - [39] Hey, don't just chuckle at my populist notions. Add to them! Here, to get you started: Let's impose "no fire" zones where you can't target anyone! You can fly up to an NPC "Priest of Discord" flying an Apoc and turn on your "pvp" flag by giving him the copy of the Pax Gankjooia you start play with. No one really does this for any rational reason, but sometimes CONCORD glitches and gets into fights with the PoD. The battles are hilarious, and super laggy to boot! Whoooo! To further promote the "iconic" nature of EVE, everyone will be able to play a Jovian right off the bat! Yeah, they'll be just as crappy as any other starting character (at first) but then be given built in, penalty-free, MWDs that cost almost nothing to activate because they are a "point blank" class of ships, or something! Nothing like Ipwnzjoo the iconic Jovian running away from every fight he can't win (which isnt many)! When the game starts, we should replace Aura with the leader of whatever faction you started off in, who tells you that you are the last hope for the EVE cluster, and tells you to blow up some rats in velators in a top secret mission that, erm... damn. I think I just had a stroke writing this! thump
Mac Knife Gallente Mordu's Elite	Posted - 2006.09.11 22:41:00 - [40] Originally by: Maritz Originally by: Mac Knife Please tell me your joking? You.. can't... tell... he's joking? With so many people coming across from Wow complaining about how this game is so hard blah blah and suggesting chages such as this, its getting hard to tell if someone is joking or not sighs

With so many people coming across from Wow complaining about how this game is so hard blah blah and suggesting chages such as this, its getting hard to tell if someone is joking or not sighs I'll admit that I've seen a lot of evidence to support this claim. I have spent months in the noobcorp, and in the channel, along with the usual "HOW DO I SHOT LASER" kind of nonsense from WoW kiddies, there's almost always someone to say "this game sux omg" and who apparently picks up free trial accounts just to be a rabble rouser. Mind you, I've tried to get some reasons out of the doomsayer, but all that's ever said is "6 mil peeple play wow lol nuf sed"

With so many people coming across from Wow complaining about how this game is so hard blah blah and suggesting chages such as this, its getting hard to tell if someone is joking or not sighs Really though, the response to either types of post should be the same. Laugh as if they were both jokes. It shows you see sarcasm when it was meant to be sarcastic, and it really ticks those kiddies off when their serious post was seen as a joke. Either way it works!
Linerra Tedora Amarr Viziam	Posted - 2006.09.12 15:55:00 - [43] 227 : Next up is skipping the gates. At every station, we have placed a portal stone, that will allow you to travel instantly to any other station in the universe. No more gate camps, safe travel for all. 228 : NEE is coming... the New Eve Experience. Henceforth it will become an fps game, where you fly your ship with your joystick, and have to shoot manually. No more auto attack. EvE-CCG Spoiler Database
Detavi Kade	Posted - 2006.09.12 16:05:00 - [44] 229. Buying the collector's edition of Kali will get you a titan. 230. Emotes. Gotta have /dance! 231. Familiars. We should all have 1 pet that follows us around and does cute things. And occasionally aggros the sentry guns.
sugark Caldari SOTI Inc. Combined Planetary Union	Posted - 2006.09.12 16:27:00 - [45] I want to be power-levelled Nothing better than sitting in an astro belt being teamed with a friendly soul who you told that you are a RL girl while he kills rats and within a day you reach the level cap just to realize that actually there isn¦t anything left for you to do really...other than power-levelling others, that is.
Mah Kraah Minmatar Masuat'aa Matari Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2006.09.12 17:23:00 - [46] have u already bought ur heavy assault crusier expansionpack? its great! not yet, whaiting till price drops below 25$
Wilfan Ret'nub Singularity.	Posted - 2006.09.12 17:30:00 - [47] WoW already has T3 gear and T4 is coming in the expansion. Meanwhile, we're stuck with T2. CPP, DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!11111111111111oneeleven ------ No ISK, no fun
Tareen Kashaar eXin Alliance	Posted - 2006.09.12 17:39:00 - [48] Bwaaahahaha this thread wins :D --- WTS: Forum Signatures, 30mil a piece. Evemail me!
Darksaber64x Jump Cloneses	Posted - 2006.09.12 17:44:00 - [49] Edited by: Darksaber64x on 12/09/2006 17:44:52 I can't beilive no one's mentioned this yet! Since EvE's skill system can be way too unfair, all skills and skillpoints put into something other than your race's ships should be refunded and not allowed to train ever again! And since everyone knows what they want from the beginning, you should have to choose all of the skills you'll ever train right from the beginning, and become unable to train any others, unless you make a new character. OR We could just have trainer agents located throughout the galaxy, where you can talk to them, and they'll refund all of your skillpoints for a few hundred k isk, and you can redistribute all skillpoints to any skill! Be careful though, each time you do this the cost doubles! Plus, loosing a ship is just too painful! Your ship shouldn't blow up, just break down! When you eject, you go to the nearest 'pod-point', and just fly back to your ship. You'll be as good as new! No one will take anything of yours! IT'S PERFECT!
corroded	Posted - 2006.09.12 19:01:00 - [50] the swg part made my index-finger twitch, wanting to craft some armor, or maybe harvest some tubers.. Damn You!! a year and a half of electro-shock therapy down the drain!!! It Buuurrrnnnnnsssss!!!!!
Dred 'Morte Sabre Inc Center for Disease Creation	Posted - 2006.09.12 19:05:00 - [51] Originally by: Skoke You want to inherit 5.97 million annoying 8-16 year olds from games like WOW? I would rather stick to the mature playerbase that Eve already has and be able to enjoy ourselves personally.... Hey hey hold on a minute! I joined this game 13 years old and back then I already laughed at stupid games like WoW (aka, Teletubies)! Not all kids are idiots. PS: The only thing this game needs is 10 times bigger bounties on rats so I can PvP more often Signature made by Mr Floppykickners
Encelaedus Caldari Science and Trade Institute	Posted - 2006.09.12 21:21:00 - [52] Edited by: Encelaedus on 12/09/2006 21:26:35 Quote: I refer you to the Neocron - No more elves campaign I completely forgot about Neocron - is that game still going? optik :: berlin.com ICQ 256429383 Sapienter si Sincere
Del Mahone	Posted - 2006.09.12 21:54:00 - [53] Just because someone plays world of warcraft there is no need to call them an idiot...... Having said that, there are some idiots at work who play WoW and talk about it ALL DAY LONG... EVE is different to most other MMO's (different, not better, not worse)which is why I gave it a second chance (and I'm sooooo glad I did ) Anyway, I keep asking on Global chat, but who here can pl me? because I want to play the uber Jovian class and I need to be lvl 250.....pl me pls !!11!!!
Rehmes	Posted - 2006.09.12 21:59:00 - [54] hmmm...Dunno about WoW, but since i did play Lineage 2 i propose to have floating castles and remove space stations. We get a bunch of legendary dragons that take 300+ people to take down and give u a bunch of crazy modules (plz put in cat ears to put on ur ships in place of guns.....). Make isk soo very hard to get that 90% of the community will resort to botting/ebay. This would make the game appeal to all koreans thus giving this game 7m suscribers.
Drusty Minmatar MAFIA Pirate Coalition	Posted - 2006.09.12 22:02:00 - [55] WHAT WE NEED IS TV ADVERTISEMENT HELL MOST OF AMERICA DOESNT EVEN KNOW ABOUT EVE AND YES THIS IS ALL CAPS. THIS ELVES **** IS FOR THE BIRDS ITS HARD TO REACH MILLIONS WITH WORD OF MOUTH THEY NEED A TV TRAILER THAT WILL KNOCK THE PANTIES OFF YARR <-------------------------------------------------> The mighty always fall.... They well always fall before me.
Oblivionix	Posted - 2006.09.12 23:29:00 - [56] ^ i want your drugs i kinda like this idea ... in addition we should be able to jump outa our pods armed with hefty axe/sword/spear/club and beat the hell outa our opponent and plx add big complex bosses that we're going to try to kill for days and weeks and when we finally kill it ... it will drop fcking nothing and yes, rename game as world of evecraft i <3 this tread ... i managed to express my hatered towards wow and nobody flamed me
Viktor Fyretracker Caldari Worms Corp	Posted - 2006.09.12 23:56:00 - [57] all MMOs are numbers games, you have that group in every one of them that will try and optimize DPS and stats to the nearest decimal point.
Evelyn Lavi	Posted - 2006.09.13 00:10:00 - [58] We need to anime the hell out of everything! Because if it's made in Japan, it's automatically cool! And deep, and profound, and... oh jeez, I can feel my hygene deteriorating just by typing this. Well, if we added in Earth and Beyond's "Tada-O" that wouldn't be too bad. But yeah, just imagine if we anime'd the hell out of everything. Hell, we already got a quasi-religious name for the game. We got "Angels" and the Amarr are full of theological gobbledy****. Just distort the word placement and bingo! You got "deep profound Anime names!" Like maybe we could have "Pious Deity Seraphim Requiem Devices" that spit out retarded-looking circular rings around our ships, lined with random Hebrew and Aramaic letters. Make everyone look more metrosexual! Even the Gallente... if that's possible! Put in potions! You can't have the asian gaming experience without "pots" to pop every five seconds in PVP.
Inquis Eisenhorn	Posted - 2006.09.13 01:34:00 - [59] The third race should be the Imperium of Man. With their miles long battleships, whose cannons fire shells the size of office buildings! They have no idea what I'm talking about
SengH Black Omega Security E.R.A	Posted - 2006.09.13 01:41:00 - [60] Originally by: Inquis Eisenhorn The third race should be the Imperium of Man. With their miles long battleships, whose cannons fire shells the size of office buildings! They have no idea what I'm talking about Turn Amarr into Imperium Turn Gallente into Space Orks Turn Caldari into Tau (Nearest equivalent I could think of) Turn Jove into Eldar Turn Minnies into... wait ppl play minmatar in this game . ---------------------------------------- Back for a month cus BS5 finished.....
