CCP Rise C C P C C P Alliance 5634	Posted - 2016.06.23 14:23:51 - [1] - Quote Good day! I'm here to let you know that on Tuesday, in the 118.6 release, we are planning to remove the recurring opportunity "Thrill of the Hunt". Our hope in releasing this feature was to gain insight on how direct, daily rewards might effect and improve engagement in EVE. I can't go into too much detail about results but I thought you guys might like to know a bit about what did happen after it launched. The biggest conclusions we can draw so far (though we are still gathering and analyzing data) are that recurring opportunities did have a significant effect on player activity in game. We saw a pretty big bump in the share of folks heading out to kill something each day, and we heard some feedback that this in turn led to some pretty funny situations (read: kills). On the other hand, we saw very little change in login behavior, i.e. if you weren't planning to log on anyway, the 10,000 free SP boost wasn't really going to change your mind. This is really important for us and by collecting solid data with a fast and simple feature like recurring opportunities we will be able to make better decisions as we work on larger things in the future, such as the Shadow of the Serpent event, which begins on Tuesday in the 118.6 release. I want to thank all of you for taking the time to talk with us about the feature, both online and in person at Fanfest. While there were certainly concerns from you guys, the conversation stayed mature and productive which is fantastic for us and we really appreciate it. Until next time, Fly safe, CCP Rise for Team Size Matters @ccp_rise

Demolishar United Aggression 1112	Posted - 2016.06.23 14:28:52 - [2] - Quote Sounds about right.
Khan Wrenth Ore Oppression Prevention and Salvation 620	Posted - 2016.06.23 14:28:52 - [3] - Quote Dang, just a bit late. Second, then. On a side note, I'll have to go about my command ship training a bit differently now. See now, I thought I'd be clever and I remapped for getting all the leadership stuff done as quickly as possible. I was going to use the free SP from "opportunities" to steadily up my command ships skill itself. Guess I'll have to slowboat that segment of the training now. No biggie. Let's discuss overhauling the way we get intel in EvE.

Until next time, Fly safe, CCP Rise for Team Size Matters Glad you got good metrics from the feature. I, personally, am looking forward to the upcoming event and the previously announced Tribute system. I think both of these will engage players and change login behavior far better than simple daily tasks. Definitely keep working towards more of those kinds of features.

The data clearly shows that the SP reward should be bumped to 50,000. I'M KIDDING. THAT WAS A JOKE. DON'T DO THAT. SERIOUSLY, PLEASE DON'T DO THAT. I'm glad to have been proven wrong in my concerns surrounding this feature, and a tip of my cap to CCP for removing it when it wasn't giving the expected results. @manicvelocity
Squizz Caphinator Primary. 191	Posted - 2016.06.23 14:36:07 - [9] - Quote I play more Eve from out of game than I do in game. I actually enjoyed this as it encouraged me to log in. Oh well, I look forward to what you guys come up with next! Various projects I enjoy putting my free time into: http://zkillboard.com \| http://evewho.com
Kelby 68	Posted - 2016.06.23 14:39:40 - [10] - Quote @CCP Rise Was this always intended to be a short term test? If so was its limited lifespan kept quiet to try and avoid influencing the results? For what its worth I thought it was a nice little feature, it would be nice to see some variation in the goals and the rewards in the future but I'm surprised its being removed in its current form after a just month.

Until next time, Fly safe, CCP Rise for Team Size Matters Thanks for the communication. I can confirm that your results match my experience. I certainly undocked more, and undocked more alts that normally rarely leave station, but it didn't encourage me to log-in on a day when I was not planning to play Eve. There are already enough rewards in this game tied to activity that an additional SP reward did not change the balance for me at least. Best of luck on your work to develop and alternative approach to accomplish your development goals, and I appreciate the rapid turn around time on deployment and un-deployment of this trial feature. Why Do They Gank?

It wasn't necessarily intended to be short term, but it was focused on information gathering and we knew that depending on results we could change or remove it. We did try to avoid influencing results by sharing any plans, but that wasn't hard since plans were so dependent on what happened. Glad you had a good experience with the feature, we will certainly have similar features coming, we just want them to be more integrated with with the rest of our work and be a little more robust overall. @ccp_rise

Yorn Dallocort Olympic Mining and Business Corporation 1	Posted - 2016.06.23 14:51:51 - [13] - Quote As a beginner (three months in Eve), this was a really nice way to catch up with friends and so many other people who played for years. It made Eve a bit more open to noobs like me... I can't mine in HS without being attacked or racketed and I can't afford any injector. I know it's a game of patience, but Thrill of the Hunt was a worthy way to compensate my IRL lack of Gé¼Gé¼Gé¼ to buy PLEXs...

Before this started I would have been shocked by this result. Now I am not. The dailies came at a time when I needed a break. Like, you know that feeling when you have eaten the same thing over and over...and suddenly you just can't eat it. You stare at it, and objectively, it looks as good as it always does, you know the smell is right....but instead of being welcoming its repulsive. I find the times I don't log in are very much that, I am not logging in because its not what my appetite is for right now and the thought of choking down something I otherwise like is somehow makes it even more repulsive. I do hope you will try more experiments like this. It was fun and it did lead to me doing some things I wouldn't have done otherwise.
Travis Uchonela Sniggerdly Pandemic Legion 63	Posted - 2016.06.23 14:54:42 - [15] - Quote Disappointed. This was a big hit for the new players in Horde and a good way to get guys flying around in space. I'm not that surprised it wasn't drawing people to log in that wouldn't have anyway but It definitely got people warping around looking for trouble in belts again.
Skia Aumer Sebiestor Tribe Minmatar Republic 297	Posted - 2016.06.23 14:57:09 - [16] - Quote Good riddance. Props for acknowledging mistake and fixing it fast.
Lan Wang Knights of the Posing Meat FETID 3212	Posted - 2016.06.23 14:58:03 - [17] - Quote well that went well didnt it lol focus on the pirate events they are much more engaging FETID now recruiting pvp pilots & corporations \| lowsec pvp & piracy - Join FETID Loyalist to Angel Cartel & Serpentis

While there were certainly concerns from you guys, the conversation stayed mature and productive which is fantastic for us and we really appreciate it. Until next time, Fly safe, CCP Rise for Team Size Matters I thought this plan was bad from the get go - for some reasons I have accounts with 3 pilots - none of them can use anythign but a ibis or whatever ship/gun you get from the start of the game They all can build 11 things and research 11 things - but realistically leaving station with a 3 bil isk clone to kill something for 10K in a frigate with little to no skills is suicidal at best. Now, if you got it for putting on 5 build job, or researching 5 blueprints or 5 inventions or some other thing, i would be all over it like gravy on biscuits It was just too limiting to do the alts that need the SP any good My mains only shot goons, so no sp for them either, which is also kinda dumb, but I digress...
Ban Mjolnir Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 9	Posted - 2016.06.23 15:04:12 - [19] - Quote This alt and is now a sad alt, but not too sad, as I got a few support skills trained up on it during this event. Just a few minutes before bedtime and goons your uncle. Normally all my chars get logged in at least once in any particular day anyway so was no stress.
Chewytowel Haklar KarmaFleet Goonswarm Federation 191	Posted - 2016.06.23 15:05:00 - [20] - Quote Hello, I would like to say that this feature was very nice for newer players, or more specifically those low in starting skill points. It would be nice if you left this feature available for players or characters that are new and have less than X sp or are less than X months old. Could you possibly add this into the game as a great way to boost starting sp gain for active players in some way? Perhaps even just adding it back as a simple kill any NPC? I've heard a lot of people say that this only seemed to be a really nice thing for starting characters and so I figured I would bring this up. Thanks if you took the time to read this! :)

Angelique Duchemin Pandemic Horde Inc. Pandemic Horde 1003	Posted - 2016.06.23 15:06:16 - [21] - Quote I liked it. It was two free injectors per month worth of skillpoints. The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.
Jisenia KarmaFleet Goonswarm Federation 4	Posted - 2016.06.23 15:08:10 - [22] - Quote So its a fun game play mechanic that gets people to undock and provides an interesting way for people to try and get into fights ... but no additional log-ons, so no tangible 'improvement' to your bottom line. Thus, you axe it. Ridiculous.
Perpello Astralite Technologies 1	Posted - 2016.06.23 15:09:16 - [23] - Quote I liked the daily 10k sp; however, it'll be relief not to login on-the-dot every 22h. Playing field levelled, injector prices up-up-and-up.
blazigen Militaris Industries Northern Coalition. 13	Posted - 2016.06.23 15:10:54 - [24] - Quote What I am wondering, Especially about the metrics. Was CCP Ghost involved in anyways determining especially in analazing the data. Also of course aimed at player retention and new player experiences. I would love to get some info on that. Although I probably understand if thats a absolute No No for the time being
Daerrol Death By Design Did he say Jump 306	Posted - 2016.06.23 15:10:55 - [25] - Quote Jisenia wrote: So its a fun game play mechanic that gets people to undock and provides an interesting way for people to try and get into fights ... but no additional log-ons, so no tangible 'improvement' to your bottom line. Thus, you axe it. Ridiculous. wut? CCP's bottom line has nothing to do with logins/day. At all. They stated from the get go the objective was "Improve player logins" not "Get players to undock." It is in trial period so they are doing the right thing and tracking (most likely with the upcoming serpentis event) how different rewards attract and apply to different players. Once they have that data they can make informed decisions to tweak player behaviors in ways they want to. Or they could just put in a feature half assed and say "Screw the social science experiment good enough"
Aradina Varren Pandemic Horde Inc. Pandemic Horde 37	Posted - 2016.06.23 15:12:01 - [26] - Quote This was probably the best thing that happened for Eves new player experience in a while. I really hope you reconsider its removal. It certainly increased activity around Horde systems and made the new players more likely to stick around.
Angelique Duchemin Pandemic Horde Inc. Pandemic Horde 1003	Posted - 2016.06.23 15:13:38 - [27] - Quote Now on the upside. People who liked to maintain -10.0 sec status can now do so without losing skillpoints. I was appalled to the bear-esque levels by security status was moving to with all this rat killing. The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.
Recessio DobCo Industries 1	Posted - 2016.06.23 15:14:07 - [28] - Quote I can't help but think testing this during exams/finals season would affect the log ins anyway. I know that I surely would've logged in each day for 10k SP if I wasn't revising for exams.
Skia Aumer Sebiestor Tribe Minmatar Republic 298	Posted - 2016.06.23 15:14:36 - [29] - Quote Travis Uchonela wrote: Disappointed.

If you keep justifying bad features with "for newbies!" argument, you'll make a strong association: "newbies = bad". Which is not healthy.
Bishop Xsi Blackfriar Bridge 84	Posted - 2016.06.23 15:16:23 - [30] - Quote I'm not understanding the logic of killing the feature just because it didn't produce the outcome you expected. At least leave this in place for characters that are less than a year old.
