What was fun about Earth and Beyond? So many different mobs that you could fight and all the different epic events / encounters you could do. After that, coming to Eve... It all seems so dead really. It's more realistic, true, but this is a computer game, it would be really fun if it would be spiced up a little.
I'm still a noob, true... But it would be nice if some more mobs were introduced in the game. The focus is PvP, but all the mobs look almost the same and fight the same way... Zzzz.... I really find the game dead boring at times because of lack of that content I got used to in EnB. Please do not get me wrong, Eve is a good game, but I think it could be a LOT better.
For example... You warp to an asteroid field... You find some mobs there.. They are always almost the same looking ships there who will chase you do no matter what in same predictable style. ::yawn::
How about adding some variarity... How about some space dwelling creatures chilling in the middile of asteroids (some hostile, some not - all killable of course). How about NPC mining operations? Would be fun to see some NPCs mining... If they are trying to mine the asteroid you want, you blast them and take out their industrial ships and jack their ore. Depending on what security level system you're in is how the police would respond.
How about random police patrols warping thru the system and asteroid belts? Of course little patrols that could be jammed and killed if done right quickly before the big police force could come. Just throwing some ideas here.
How about more nav points but asteroid fields? I mean I found some hidden navs, but most of the time there is NOTHING happening there. Some special mobs could be added there. Either ships or organics... And make sure they all look and act different from eachother.
Perhaps some convoys flying from one starbase to another who have to travel thru who knows how many sectors to reach destination and that you have the oppretunity to ambus them and take them out. For example the ability to stop in mid-warp between gates and set up an amubush point with a warp destabilizer field or something?
That bring me to my next point... FREE WARPING!!! God, this game needs that. I feel so limited with the current system, you got navpoints and you can only go to those nav points, you cannot free warp anywhere or stop between navs. There is no freedom.. I don't know how the Eve engine works, but free warping and more navs / encounters would bring it a whole brand new life.
Also stuff like huge epic encounters where a lot of player would have to participate would be great... Think of the Tada-O Gate, Ascendendt Voltoi, OCD or any of those epics found in EnB... Similar stuff in Eve would be really interesting and would bring in the game community together. A lot of the time the game seems very, very lonely.
I know I'm just writing my ideas here... I don't want Eve to become EnB, but it could learn a lot from it. If some of these features were impliment, Eve would be a wounderful place and I'm sure a lot more customers who yearn for this type of gameplay would come. Just think of the possibilites... Please consider some things I said... I could go on and on, but this is getting too long as it is.
P.S. Oh yeah... How about some different looking asteroids? Maybe some crystals / different colors, etc etc... Or even adding some motions to them so they move around (but that could be too bandwidth intensive). Anyways, shutting up now. |
