o7 guys!
There is some ideas about alpha clones and other ideas for help beginners to enjoy eve :
- Create a new 2.0 security status space only avaible for "alpha" clones, omega who wants to enter will be nerfed to alpha except the "trainging time" for skills who will continue as usual, only effective skills will be limited. (about 20 systems)
- Alpha will not be able to change their security status to prevent all form of suicide ganking, they will just be able to PVP in LS/NS/WH. Alpha clones will be gankable by omega as usual in regular space only (-1.0 to 1.0).
- Alpha wont be able to stay more than 24h in row outside of 2.0 space to limit the farm in WH. After 24h they will respawn in 2.0 space, in this case any stuff not T1 on ship or in cargo will be stocked in the station where ship will be to prevent a new form of hauling. If the ship is in space, the stuff not T1 will be destroyed. If you get something in regular space, be sure to stock it in any station/citadel to not loose it by respawn.
- In 2.0 area will be 5 PVP systems but the PVP will not be Free, people who wants to PVP have 3 choice :
- 1v1 at moons
- 5v5 at planets
- 20v20 at suns
The players will be able to fight only through a match-meeting, if people come in fleet with 5, they only will be able to play against another pre-formed fleet of 5. The fight will be limited in time.
The kills in thoses matchmeetings wont give a killmail but you will earn 1 point for 1 kill, with thoses points CCP will open a shop where they will give us acces to the chiness skins, thoses we ask since so long time... If you choose your oppenent, you won't earn any points. The chinese skinns won't be tradable, to make more people come pvp. The goal of this system, is to help people stop to be scared by PVP and learn that in eve when you loose a fight, your ship is destroyed. An important things is to take a part in a fleet, thigs you can't do in any tutorial or mission today. Thoses things must help new players to enjoy eve freely.
- Ships lost in PVP matchmeeting will be given back for free in the nearest station, only T1 frig/destro/cruise without modules, an alert will tell us that in regular fight you won't receive back your ship for free, but you can insure it to get a part of ISK back.
- Alpha won't be able to fit any mining ship outiside of 2.0 area to prevent abusive multi-account farming, the goal of thoses alpha status is to discover the game and not farm multi-box for veterans...
- There will be new "mini-games" in the 2.0 space and only there, like capture the flag with a frigate who will need to evade cruisers gun shoots, by flying well and using angular velocity, or signature tanking. The goal is to learn people to fly, actualy the missions not learn this aspect of the game.
- Alpha account will have a lifetime of 1 year, you will be able to increase it to 2 years maximum. After thoses 2 years the account will be blocked and you will have 1 year to activate it, if you don't, the account will be deleted to save the pool of nicknames for capsuleers. If you have upgrated your clone at last one time to omega rank, your account will be saved forever, and you will be able to play 2 years over the last omega status. This must prevent people who will use thoses accounts forever in alpha state, every 2 years they will need to upgrade it to omega.
The most important is to create new content for thoses alpha, making them discover the fun part of EvE > The fight!
In other hand the alpha status must be fun for every player, not only the beginners! In many corporations people like to have a fair and fun fight with small and cheap ships, there is a place to do it and earn points to get extra skins! The match meeting will prevent cheating by earning free points with a "no-fight".
The real danger of Alpha clones is to open the game for too many new players without give them acces to fun like today, they will leave the game massively and tell others on the internet that eve is a ****** game and we will have the worst effect ever :/ Instead of increase the recruitement, players won't come anymore beceause so many of them will read everywhere (because of larger amount of testing accounts) to not come to this hard and not fun game :/ Alpha status must be worked hard to offer a new experience to the new generation of gamers with theirs codes like easy matchmeeting and if they like it, they can continue with an omega status but they will already learned to fly and to take a fight 
In my point of view, this new status of Alpha clones must create new mecanics that give acces to fun. This is not a kind of make eve casual, thoses new things will be restricted in 2.0, a kind a micro sandbox in a sandbox game who will learn the basics through multiplayers mini-games. The multi-player aspect is very important to make freinds and give a way to form corporations in this 2.0 place.
So I hope maybe to bring some cool ideas here, and sorry for my english I do my best to take part to the future of eve, trying to make it better for everyone of us, veterans and beginners :) |
