Although I greatly enjoy EVE, I am getting frustrated the way management is handling many issues. I have been playing EVE since beta and bought it the day it went retail. There was so much hope in the game and CCP has delivered us many promises for the implementation of new items and features. However, time has past and we are not much further from where we are since retail. I would like to purpose an International EVE Log Out Day where no one logs in for 24 hours. I would like to plan this during the weekdays since the weekend is usually the best opportunity for players to get some gaming in. This Log Out is to show CCP that many custumers are dissapointed with how EVE has evolved, but we still enjoy what it can be. I would like for noone to log on from downtime on Tuesday November 4th till after the downtime on Wednesday the 5th. With enough people not logging on, CCP will get the message that it is the players that control the game and they must listen to our demands.
I do believe that I speak for everyone on the issue of when a new patch will be put in. We have gone about 2 months without one and it is only gonna spell doom if they prolong the patch for another Grande Patcho that is just gonna blow up in their face. Also, what is this Soon(TM) crap. Give us a calendar of target dates that things plan to be implemented.
I fear that many great players will be leaving in the upcoming months if nothing happens ingame. So, show CCP our interests and support the International EVE Log Out Day.

The content for newbies in EVE is very poor IMHO. You choose a slave, who is specialized in weapons, got military background, is a pirate wannabie; what you do the first 1 - 2 months of your career as a "Terminator". You mine stones. WOW! What an action game.
Believe me FedEx missions and mining does NOT attract new players. This game could have been a single player one, if people knew that missions and mining are the only ways for newbies to build up some economy. Sorry but not everyone wants to join a corporation. You can see that very easy by going to newbie systems and check the computer made corporations how many thousent of members they got. You cannot force people joining a corporation, even if the idea is good to let the players understand that they need to cooperate in order to advance. But the whole idea could have been slightly better. You cannot force me 1 week after I buy the game to join a corporation in order to have fun. I want to see that there is more content before I decide to put full time in EVE.
The months passed and nothing has changed. No content. The missions still are some poor FedEx delivery missions, and for 10.000 ISK you might also die cause the server will spawn so many collaborators that will whoop your butt in no time. Mining is so boring. You see some lazers hit stones for hours... What an action right? *yawns*
Sure, you guys work your heads off with bug fixing, but drop an eye into the content.
- Mining
- FedEx missions
- Corporations
- some PvP now and then
- PvE in low level system
And thats it...
You ask for constructive critisism. Well... here you have: Add more content into the missions, newbie enviroment. Don't let the newbies create superman character and then throw them in the middle of the universe inside a ship. To do what... mine alone... Place the newbie spawn systems close to each other. Newbies should find other newbies to interract with each other.
The graphics are stunning, don't put any more work into them, consetrate into your bug fixes and game content. We do NOT need new ships. We need more people. What would be with a good ship if the only things to do with it is mine, kill others or kill yourself. I understand you didn't want to do a major release because of several good reasons.

Sadly, it's not gonna happen... a) the majority of players don't bother with these forums and b) even if they did, the lure of 24 hours of unchecked mining/hunting/exploring in closed 0.0 territories would prove too strong, as the alliances controlling them would be all too aware...
But do I know exactly where you're coming from - this game needs some urgent attention in many areas.

Hi you folks.
We know that we have been quite silent here on the forums lately. There is much work to be done here at customer support. We are working on your cases and we will answer you as soon as possible. In the meantime, please take a look at this interview with Sigurur Ëlafsson at CCP, he shares information about some of the new features that will be implemented into the game soon.
Have fun

And your only mistake was using the word "soon" .. which, (I think I'm safe in saying), the EVE community is getting mighty annoyed at hearing repeatedly in regards to things that never happen.

This kind of civil disobedience rarely gets support, but I've seen it work in other MMORPGs.

You just said on another thread EVE is a wonderful game :) No megathron for you :) Keep mining, perhaps "soon" you and I get your megathron. Deadflip see you at belt 4 tonight.
Well Zworm thanks for stepping by to announce. I know Customer Support has nothing to do with the development, so keep fighting for us fellas and inform your workmates at dev what is going on in these boards.

WTF? I started out by hunting Arrogators and Imputors in my Ibis, then proceeded to buy a Condor so I could hunt up to 10k pirates, then a Merlin at which point I was hunting 20k pirates. I do admit I have mined since then but only to build ammo, not for money.
As for frigate PvP... I see alot of frigates flying around out there, and since people usually don't think of frigates as a threat, you can warp into a belt with cruisers/bships mining and start wreaking havoc.
Your 425mm Prototype I Gauss Gun perfectly strikes some nublar, wrecking for 1155.0 damage. |

This is the most stupid thing i have ever heard so far i nearly fell off my chair laughing. If you are prepared to go to the lengths of organising a demonstration about content in a COMPUTER GAME i would seriously consider seaking psychological help. I for one will certainly not be joining u,i really do enjoy playing this game and the things to come sound great.

Actually, something similiar was done against Funcom with the game Anarchy Online.
Many players, upset with the patch procedures after a horrible patch and other issues cancelled their subscriptions temporarily to send a message. The developers received the message very loudly and very clearly.
I'd suggest checking yor attitude for the cause of any deficiencies.

Nah, i don't believe it.

For those of you posting the "this is dumb" replies: it would be nice to have a reason as to why you dissent. These unsubstantiated opinions on these forums will be ignored quickly.... so enlighten us, please .
This is not an organized demonstration that would require you calling in sick to work or missing out on anything other than EVE. It would simply be nice to know what the argument against this idea is.
As someone posted previously, this has worked quite a few times in MMOGs, and I would be willing to join in for the reasons detailed in Sirrah's post.

The reason I thought it was dumb is that it pre-supposes CCP aren't doing all they can at the moment to make things better and that therefore you will be able to speed things up/improve them with this pointless action.
Until someone shows me a photo of the CCP studio with all the devs sitting around smoking Ganja with feet up on desks surfing for ****, I guess I'll cut them some slack.

I'll do it, all 14 of my accounts will not log in for a whole week if needed, mind you making 48 mill an hour from sucking on the carebare roids, is hard to tempt me away. I could go and mine bistot and have enough hauler to make that around 200 mil an hour.
I praise CCP for making the mining sim a reality.

What is the meaning of getting the game better, if a lots of players cancel their accounts. Many of us that have played EVE from the start, are feeling that CCP have been promising a bit to much sometimes.
Yes and we¦re starting to hate the word "soon".

Done reading the interview...
It¦s the same kind of "we will..." blabla you guys gave us since release.
I¦ve said it numerous time and this is probably the last time I¦ll say it: Stop promising and talking about 'exciting' new features, IMPLEMENT THEM! NOW!! Not in 2 months, not in 1 week, not in 2 days... NOW!!!
Actually YESTERDAY is still too late since all these 'exciting' new features were supposed to be in at launch.
I¦m a patient person, extremely patient. I¦m 100% sure that this game will succeed once the initially planned content is implemented and this is reason why I¦m still here... but I¦m tired of waiting and I¦m even more tired... no... I¦m ****ed about these stupid promises you guys make when you know for a fact that your promised stuff will not make it into the game in your stupid promised timeframes. Heck... if you don¦t know when some feature will be ready then TELL US EXACTLY THAT and don¦t raise our hopes over and over by promising stuff you know you¦ll not deliver in time. I¦m tired of your goddamn 'soon(tm)' and your damn 'in 2 weeks' promises so stop them and start delivering what we paid for.
We want deployables, we want researchers and manufacturers to be a viable class in the game, we want enhanced gang features, we want the goddamn lag-issues fixed, we want gate 2 gate jumping, we want frigates and cruisers to be the common ships in the game instead of the goddamn battleships which I¦m extremely tired of aswell... stupid slow-ass long turning boredom machines ****ing me off more and more everyday since I¦m freaking FORCED to fly one of these damn things.
Dammit... all I want is to hop into my beloved Incursus and be sure that the ship is worth anything, that it¦s capable of living up to it¦s role as a combatfrigate spearheading attacks and operations. I want 6 of my wingmen also in them while our cruiser backup helps us out... with a few battleships sitting some 90km away supporting us with longrange weapons.
I want my scientists to be able to make a change to the goddamn expensive BPs we buy, I want my manufacturers to have fun doing their job, I want my logistics people sitting in front of the map asking themselves how to transport those 200 frigates from one system to the other, I want my enemy to be able to find me just like I¦m able to find him, I want to be able to scan others in this goddamn world, I want enhanced scanning equipment...
I simply want what you promised all the time CCP. So stop the damn promises and DELIVER! NOW!

How retarded an idea.
"Hey guys, lets not play a game we are still paying for the next 24 hours to prove we are upset with them. I know it'll make their CS team happy and there won't be any server stress so nobody will need to fix anything. We'll help out the employees at CCP and still give them money since we are all morons. YAAAAAY lets go protest"
Only if you get people to cancel their accounts for a month will you make a statement besides how low your intellect is. I personally am still paying on a month by month basis, not an hour by hour or day by day, so I'll be not pulling anything retarded like this as long as I'm still paying to be playing.

As far as logging off for 24hrs its not a stupid idea (striking has always been seen as a method of getting your message across) but obviously you will always have people that arent interested. It's an idea its not stupid its just impossible to make everyone see things your way so will prolly make no difference unless you got the whole player base backing (which is not ging to happen).
