Lot of interesting stuff here, Lot of frenzied enthusiasm also however there is also a lot of trepidation regarding the implementation of all of this new age material from a lot of players that is not mentioned here.
Question is why is all this necessary, Modular PoS systems have been mooted before, they have potential I agree, but as a game content generator, doubtful and I can see the idea of all these new 'Destroyable' structure theories becoming very old very quickly returning EVE to it's current state.
Recent changes in game have had nothing but a detrimental effect on player generated content for a number of very basic reasons that seem to have been overlooked by CCP when designing these changes, nothing here appears to change any of the negative so called positives they offer, Travel changes have left large areas of EVE as under utilized deserts, New structures will do nothing to change this in my view, why should players engage with them if the very reasons they currently don't engage with structures and areas of space still apply, Others looking to move into that space will have the same problems to deal with and soon loose interest when they too find most of there play time eaten up simply to get from one location to another.
New Sov systems proposed mean less rather than more incentive towards permanency and security of tenure in any location, add in the travel nerfs already in place and why would anyone want to invest time and money owning anything in a system and I still don't buy into this 'All work together' BS, no incentives worth players time is the bottom line here, fleet up to go mining or ratting, well those that are left actually doing it after CCP nerfs might do, but it's a big ask to have people just fleet up to protect those doing that, just not going to happen.
Again I ask why is all this required, why have the instant download system introduced, the new sov system, new structures system and why now all in a short space of time, seems to not only myself but a good number of others that we have every right to be concerned regarding the direction that CCP is taking EVE currently, This Own nothing, build nothing, plan nothing destroy everything type of FPS instant gratification mentality does not look good for a long term future for this game as turning it into one gigantic Jita 4-4 un-dock scenario seems to be there given intent and that as stated before will get very old very quickly for most established EVE players and drive them out in favor of the younger 'Credit Card' brigade far more amenable to the 'Pay to Win' type of MMO established on other platforms.
For the above reasons and others not mentioned this lot gets a resounding No from me at least. |
