Flamespar WarRavens Imperium Eden 1362	Posted - 2017.04.06 23:17:59 - [1] - Quote What's going on? Fanfest used to be a really exciting event where you'd go learn more about where EVE is heading, discover exciting things to look forward to, and basically reaffirm your reasons why you love this game and are hear for the long term. I just watched the "EVE" Keynote, which was basically Hilmar going VR! VR! VR!, followed by Devs more or less telling us what we already know about whats coming for EVE. I got bored and stopped watching. EVE Chronicle: An audio drama set in the EVE universe http://evechronicle.blogspot.com.au/ https://twitter.com/Flamespar

TigerXtrm KarmaFleet Goonswarm Federation 1916	Posted - 2017.04.06 23:50:49 - [3] - Quote The reason it seemed 'boring' is because most of the really exciting stuff was already announced in dev blogs weeks ago. Refineries, already discussed to death. PLEX changes, been there. Blood Raider capitals, yup. And the few things we didn't know yet, like the Faction Citadels, were still pretty vague in their announcement. I agree the keynote missed the 'wow' factor of previous years. If they're only releasing refineries in the winter I'd argue they could have saved that for the keynote tbh. The PLEX changes had to be announced early to do it right and the Blood Raider stuff was leaked early (among many other smaller stuff). So yeah... you win some you lose some.

Sweet Adamas Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 68	Posted - 2017.04.07 02:08:33 - [4] - Quote Sausage fest is always boring because of sausage. Best to make it part of an extended holiday where you attend the bits you want and then go sight seeing. Northern lights are always worth a watch, but then so is Hilmars silky beard
oiukhp Muvila School of Applied Knowledge Caldari State 152	Posted - 2017.04.07 02:23:42 - [5] - Quote At least they are holding off on player built Stargates. That could have been a huge can of worms to open.

Mr Epeen It's All About Me 10758	Posted - 2017.04.07 04:33:03 - [8] - Quote Fanfest is not a spectator sport, in my opinion. Much like fleet battles in game, it looks pretty dull from the outside looking in. The fun is when you are participating. Having said that, I've seen better and I've seen worse as far as introducing new stuff to the game is concerned. But here's the thing. The game is what we, the players, make it. CCP just supplies the tools. And while the tools shown today might not have been "sexy" enough for the armchair content reviewers, they were certainly enough to make the upcoming months quite interesting from the view of what kind of content we can create with them. I was pretty satisfied with the presentation. Mr Epeen There are 86,400 seconds in a day. You just saved one of them by typing 'u' instead of 'you'.-á Congratulations, dumbass!

Holy ****, not idea how you can be so blinded by an obviously hyped technology which has a very very limited potential and even a smaller market. I mean if you have only ONE product after 15 years, maybe produce for a market which has actual customers and not some high risk investment... the Code ALWAYS wins Elite PvPer, #74 in 2014

marVLs 761	Posted - 2017.04.07 07:11:19 - [14] - Quote Yup, almost no new content, no new PVE, incursions, mining, ring mining, WiS, only some long long promises (yeaaaah like structures that all supposed to be released in 2 years and we got 1 per year...) Sadly this may be the last fanfest for me.
Drago Shouna Royal Amarr Institute Amarr Empire 732	Posted - 2017.04.07 07:15:15 - [15] - Quote I have to admit that there was nothing in there that "grabbed" me. Mostly stuff that we already knew about and self congratulatory waffle. As for the new trailer, I'm not convinced it'll attract any players. Don't get me going about the permaband song either ;/ Solecist Project...." They refuse to play by the rules and laws of the game and use it as excuse ..." " They don't care about how you play as long as they get to play how they want." Welcome to EVE.

Exaido Fire Over Light Those Infernal Machines 107	Posted - 2017.04.07 07:27:29 - [19] - Quote I've never watched an Eve Fanfest Keynote before and I actually found it interesting. I was also impressed by how committed the developers are to building on an and improving the game. There are few games that have lasted this long and have continuous investment into the game development. Most other MMOs are expansion packs of more of the same.
Mina Sebiestar Minmatar Inner Space Conglomerate 1169	Posted - 2017.04.07 07:41:15 - [20] - Quote Dead space "planet cracker" eve style looks ok. Was hoping blood raiders would get their own models ...there is better Bhaalgorn out there there just is. All in all this is 1st fanfest since streaming start that i did not watch opening and cut after new pod pilot video(i liked it) and not finishing keynotes. will probably get around to it at some point. You choke behind a smile a fake behind the fear Because >>I is too hard

Esnaelc Sin'led Never Surrender. No Handlebars. 93	Posted - 2017.04.07 07:56:25 - [21] - Quote Very disappointed as well with this year Keynote. It was emplty, complete void, nothing. Only promesses and visions of what could be Eve in 5 or 10 years from now. And this "conquering the universe" promesse that makes no sense on a game that has 14 years old, thousands of solar systems that has already been conquered and a dropping player base at worst, constant at best. - Artificial Intelligence is very heavy to create and expensive, we won't have high quality AI anytime soon. - "Reinforced Sandbox", no sense, see above, unless you create more Solar System (player base dropping would be even more spread out), or wipe the entire 0.0 space (which will never happen because : whinings). - Enhanced graphics, or even rebuilding it entirely judging by the concept arts. They could've made some awsome designs for the Blood Raider Capitals, just like the Cruor and Ashimuu, but, erm.. lazy, better work on "how to harvest more money from dropping player base" with skins, plex rebuild, free 2 play content, etc... And this Stargate Player Made thinggy that is turning year after year into an exact copy of that Captain's Quarter door that will never be open-able... And the top of the top was that "WE DID IT" thing about atmospheric travel through Valkyrie... I bet once NOVA is released in 5 years, they will tell us "WE DID IT" about that door, finnaly opening... sigh

Try reading.."mostly" seen that, i guess you're not excited about it so. aren't all keynotes like this, some new stuff and updates on what ifs and maybes filled with lots of back slapping, it's a celebration for the devs also.

You probably should have read the dev blogs where they specifically stated they had decided to release information about upcoming changes before Fanfest as opposed to at Fanfest in order to get feedback from the community.

Shiloh Templeton Center for Advanced Studies Gallente Federation 612	Posted - 2017.04.08 03:22:41 - [27] - Quote Mr Mieyli wrote: Eve is dying thread ? I think it's more like, "How long is Eve going to be in spit-shining mode?" There was a time when Fanfest introduced new avenues of gameplay like Wormholes and Faction Warfare. Those must have been good times.
Matthias Ancaladron Wrath of Angels Solitaire. 240	Posted - 2017.04.08 05:52:11 - [28] - Quote Its just a crony rich boy party for the one percent. If I could afford to fly to iceland on a whim every summer for a week I wouldn't be an alpha or playing on a dingy laptop with no internet (and a currently fried HDD so I can't even play anyway) I'd be able to afford a real PC and go out and do things in my free time not sit alone at home by myself grinding isk. If you're going to have a festival it should represent all players not the rich elites to go on some tour and be given free overpowered ships.

Lol since when does CCP listen to feedback? No one wants the plex vault yet it's still there. No one wanted a new aura voice but there she is. Well... muted for 99% of people but still there technically.
