Hello,
.I would like to be able to rename my old characters even if I had to pay a ticket like for resculpting a character. Im not trying to escape bad reputation I do know that it is important in EVE. I choose those nicknames when I was like 18 years old...
CCP should add a way to find if a character has been renamed in the show info or maybe using those old Locator Agents.
.CCP please add new things to do in the captain quarter; look at other mmo how they do housing, in EVE captain quarter you can't even lying in your bed. You made a great thing and you don't use it, I want to play barbie online/sims sometimes after killing everything all day long. There are people that won't even try EVE just because they know you only see your spaceship all day long.
Remember this : https://youtu.be/Gf26ZhHz6uM ? I want those nice dress !
Why not even add walking in POS/planetary things and maybe later in your own spaceship ?

You see, this is what happens when you chew on too many bad ideas all at once. You get sick and throw up all over a forum thread. Can somebody get a mop and squeegee to clean this up?

I would love to see WiS expanded more (and I'm sure the rest of the RP crowd would too) but I don't think it will be. At the very least, could we interact with other characters? It'd be soooo nice for RP.

Why would you be against renaming ? Of course limitations must be set. It is 2016 I want to rename I should be able to do that at least ONCE. |

CCP has provided you with a renaming mechanic. Search the market for skill injectors. Roll new pilot and transfer skills. Sure you'll lose some isk and SP. I'm an old dude in RL and I have some old dude sensibility. I'll pass it on to you. All things you do every day have consequences. The consequences could range from nothing, to life long guilt, to life in prison, but all your actions mean something.
Renaming a character erases all meaning from anything anyone does in the game. So personally - I prefer that actions have meaning in Eve. I don't want it to change. Your character naming is on you. Live with it or make a new character.
It's quite vexing that someone (that would be you and your renaming kind) has the self centered audacity to attempt to change a fundamental game concept (choices have meaning) because you picked a bad name for your character. Here's one for you....

WTF kind of name is that? Is it fun on comms... for anyone? No, folks have been stumbling over it for a decade. Even with an awkward name - I've managed to enjoy the game for 10+ years. Please, reach deep down inside and come to terms with your name choice - it has consequences. |

I bet the guys who were in the guiding hand social club would really love the ability to log their characters in again without everyone immediately knowing it is a guiding hand social club sting...
You chose a **** name for your character and now you have to deal with it... and at 18 you SHOULD have known better then to select some totally asinine name for your character.

No it's just stupidity. As I told there should be limitation of course.
You are allowing people to resculpt characters but no rename ?
I can fake my name IRL easily but im going to get caught by my body easily ! So you mean EVE is unreal ?
Since when do people get tracked by there names it's 2016 wake up. |

The main form of identification in eve is name, not your picture.
You want to search a char in eve, do you use name or enter a description of their face? You want to find an enemy's fc and tell everyone to shoot them do you look for their name or their avatar? What does everyone do to local chat? Thats right, they condense it so that only the name shows. Not the picture. In the char creator i can make several toons look exactly the same but i cannot give them the same name. It is a unique identifier.
People know you by name, not by your face. Thats why you can resculpt.

Since when do people get tracked by there names it's 2016 wake up. As Daichi wrote, your picture is of lesser relevance. I do not see any avatars in local chat, and neither do most other capable people because they waste valuable window real-estate; I do not see avatars in alliance chat or corp chat or any other chat because of the same reason; I do not see avatars in the overview or in-space; I do not see avatars in contracts, in my market history, my transaction history; I do not even see clearly distinguishable avatars in search results for character searches. Wherever I go, I see names but not pictures.
As you evidently mentioned, your argument for name changes because of avatars is "just stupidity" and holds no merit whatsoever in the context of the EVE environment.

Chevexia wrote:You all know you can change your name in real life right? Not relevant. Think within the context of the game.
Better yet; if you come up with an idea, first think about how a player can abuse it / use it against others. That is pretty much how EVE players think and operate.
Chevexia wrote:Kinda funny how you guys are totally cool with changing your whole body in EVE, having clones, etc. but OH NO SOMEONE WANTS TO CHANGE THEIR NAME? BLASPHEMY! Let me say it in a different way so you can understand:
Your picture is pure vanity. Your name is not.
When you enter a system, no one will identify you through your image.
Instead, players will identify you through your name and use that name to see what you have done (via killboards, EVEWho, forum posts, etc).
In fact, a lot players have the character image in chat lists disabled so they can see as many names as possible.

Welcome to player features and idea's discussion. Where you propose I seemingly simple change and we show you how it utterly breaks the game.
In here you find the tinfoil hat wearing loonies, afkcloakywhingers and a small but resolute group of regulars weary from calling idiots idiots and explaining for the billionth time why upgrading the server hardware by making it out of cheese may not infact be the wisest of decisions.
We see a lot of repeats here, the solution to this one is to gut the character with sp injectors and rebuild it.

The customer is not always right, but the customer is always the customer.
Personally I am happy with my character name, but unhappy with the progress of Eve, and IMHO this is a case-in-point why this has happened. I really think CCP could be doing a lot better if Eve did not attract these kinds of hostile people.
My advice to CCP: Let players rename their characters if they want. Eve is on life support. Let the players redo/undo/change whatever will make them happy.
There aren't going to be a whole lot of drunken player gatherings in CCP's future if you hang your hat on an aging player base. Millennials are used to being catered to. As one person said: "this is 2016, wake up!"; like it or not that's the attitude of the Milennials. With the difficulty of learning the game in the first place they aren't going to stick around if they are treated this way by the company on top of being tricked, swindled, and abused by other players as is the nature of this game. I don't have numbers to back it up but I would not be surprised if Eve had the largest percentage of rage-quitting in the industry.
And with all due respect to the executive team, you should have sold to EA or whomever it was when there was a chance. Now it's too late. Millions of dollars down the drain. Everyone could have made a small fortune. Those are some pretty severe consequences indeed.
Eve Valkyrie, on the other hand, is great! I'd shift my resources in that direction. Once the HW prices come down, which will be very soon, 2D games won't have the appeal they once did. It was a good run but VR is the future.

I leave it with an advice: Don't take your character name too serious when you give into to your necrophilia and unearth a dead topic for no reason.

One of us is confused. Investors take on financial risk, and therefore are entitled to a return on that investment when a company goes IPO or is bought by another entity. Players are just customers.
Maybe you meant that if the product is sold to another company the new owner would change the game in some negative way? If so us customers do have the option to buy another product from some other company, but the employees and shareholders don't because this is their livelihood. I do realize that is not going to be very palatable to hear, but these people need to put food on the table.
Besides, I'd be willing to bet EA would be much more responsive to customer demands, so ultimately the customer would benefit.
Eve has lasted a very, very long time. Way beyond the expectations of many people. That is a big success story. CCP is to be congratulated. But obviously all technology eventually becomes obsolete. It's just the nature of the business.
VR is definitely the future of gaming, and they have already come out with two titles: Gunjack and Valkyrie. So CCP is moving forward. BTW if you don't have a Rift or a Vive (I have both) I highly recommend getting one. And if you have any friends who do you have got to try Valkyrie. They did really great with that. It is an EXCELLENT game! I'm not into shooters but for those who are Gunjack is another great title GÇô and you can play that with just a Gear.
I really think CCP can reproduce their success by focusing on VR. In the meantime they should build the millennial user base. If customers want to change their character names or whatever, who cares? Just build up enough revenue over the short term to reinvest in the VR titles and go forward on that front. Hey, if Eve does continue for another few years that's great, but I think they are well aware VR is where it's at now.

Not sure if trolling, EA spai, or technophiliac with more cash than brains.
Also... customers tend to be short sighted and extremely selfish. While you cannot ignore this, you also should not cave in and give them everything they want (to keep the game overall healthy).
That is partly why EVE is still around. A lot of decisions that have been unpopular with players have been pushed though. Mind you, if there is too much push back, the DEVs reconsider their positions.
But just giving the customers everything they want without consideration to anything else is lunacy.

No, we customers do not have the choice to just buy another product because there is no other product available that is like EVE. That is, in large parts, the fault of companies like EA and customers or investors like you. Under your scenario, only the shareholders interested in a short term profits may or may not benefit from such a sale. Focus on short term profits without regard for long term benefits, however, is a substantial reason why we live in this overall miserable economic situation, thanks to companies like EA and customers and investors like you. Considering this, among other things, I very much doubt that employees at a CCP sold to EA would appreciate the move. I also strongly doubt that a sale to EA would keep CCP in business, considering long tradition of studio closures after EA bought them.
Customer demands like yours, which are diametral to what makes EVE what it is and supposed to be, just because some whiny wimps can't grasp the game's concept and are overchallenged by the different nature of this game? You just need to look at the latest Alpha Clone "improvement" suggestion to see what kind of terrible players try to join the game and thankfully leave again once they notice they cannot abuse it however they like. EVE does not need these players at all to thrive. As for responsiveness to customer demands: Do I have to really remind you of the latest Sim City iteration, which was a complete disaster and only poor sales figures and massive violent pressure from the community made EA change their mind.
EVE has lasted as long as it has because it was largely independent from terrible companies like EA. The last time CCP tried to do tricks to the community that are akin to what EA does to their games, the game almost crumbled. Not CCP not selling to EA (or any other random bad publisher) makes tech and the game obsolete, selling to these cash milking crap companies does.
The VR that we currently have is just terrible and most current gamers cannot use VR because their computers are not capable of handling it and they are not and will not be able to upgrade to suitable hardware in the near and midterm future, in part thanks to companies like EA and customers and investors like you, who are only interested in short term profits without consideration for long term benefits and effects, causing an overall miserable economic situation. Valkyrie is nothing like EVE. It may be an excellent game for casuals who are not interested in risk and reward that EVE itself has as founding principle of the game's mechanics and gameplay experience, let alone a long term oriented game play beyond just a useless, non-impacting, non-effecting 10 minute space battle royale with some "friends" (that word is so empty and meaningless these days, by the way). EVE, however, focuses on more than just this.

EVE, however, focuses on more than just this.
Instead of saying "what EVE is supposed to be", you should say "what EVE could be". You have your idea of what you want, and, coming from someone who says the word friends is "so empty and meaningless these days", I guess EVE is what you want it to be. Your assumption seems to be that all EVE needs is the current player base, and I say you are wrong because the current player base is aging. Expansion into China might prop the game up, but I'm not sure if they can merge those servers because of the way business works in China.
Your assertion that "The VR that we currently have is just terrible" makes it obvious you haven't played with a Vive or a Rift. (Maybe if you left your basement??) You also assume EA or Blizzard or Rockstar would kill off the game and that is just an assumption. They have massive player bases and could bring in millions of more customers. Of course people like you would probably not like a flood of kids and causal gamers coming into the game, but ultimately that may be necessary whether or not any of us likes it.

Not only is it not necessary but it'd kill the game in a year or so because thats how long the players you're wanting to attract play a game for before looking for the next 'ooh shiny'.
Old players still play eve. Its features allow play and progression whilst offline. We train skills whilst logged off and we can make money whilst logged off. We can make money whilst we do chores around the house. Etc etc. A couple years ago the oldest player was over 50 and the average was 25 with a full time job. True some people leave due to real life, but less than you might think.
Funnily enough these would be the first things the 'new' players would change if they could. They'd have a grinding skill progression. Dailies (ugh) and pay wall shite.
Honestly, having 20% of the playerbase for 10x as long is better than having a game thats last a year and dies.

'EVE is dying' is not a topic for this forum, nor is it anything new kids. Bitter people with nothing to argue like to throw it around, it's been that way for over a decade.
If you want to customize characters and names and have MMO elements thrown at you outside of playing a game with a massive amount of other people, you're looking for something else. Cosmetic changes that would require a lot of effort like more in-station content is not a priority for development. |
