To answear this simple request:
Originally by: CCP Incognito Edited by: CCP Incognito on 07/11/2008 07:38:18 What I would like to see is constructive ideas about what PvE, and rats in particular, that would make PvE more engaging and fun. Questions like: What would make a 1v1 PvE encounter challenging and fun? What would make a 1vN PvE encounter challenging and fun? What would make a NvN PvE encounter challenging and fun?
Definitions: Not-fun: I lock the rat and turn on the booster and start the laser's and go for coffee. Fun: OMG I just spent 30 min killing this belt rat and I have 50 hull left, and I am shaking from the adrenalin rush!
So let the ideas fly, this is a brainstorming session, so any idea is acceptable, and nobody is allowed to criticize any idea.
I wish there was MUCH LESS npcs that act more like players. I hate grind. I love challange. I wish a PvE was a first step to learn basics of PvP.
Rats should fall under same restrictions as players - that means their weapon ranges, velocity, EW etc. Rats should be able to change tactics on radom or if their tactics fail. An "aggro-control" should be implemented. Rats should be able to change their targets, but player-EW should work on them (so a damp'ed Rats should switch their lock to target in their new range). Rats should operative cap, so their waepons eat their cap, their tank eats their cap and player-NOS or player-NEUT should disable their potential. Rats should be able to randomly decide to flee while their dmg is in structure and come back a bit later fully repaired. I know - such changes would be more server-resource consuming, thats why we need LESS rats but SMARTER rats.
And realy CCP, you shouldn't listen to the whinners with "omg, missions will be too hard! omg! My Raven fitted only with small lasers can't kill npc-BS! omg!". It's time to state the truth - PvE in EVE SUCKS. PvE is what NEW players see first and that's why they quit the game never to return. That's why EVE has "200.000 pilots" and WoW has 11 million... I know - "5-year-old-char-vets" will laugh and bash me to hell, but no matter if "wow sucks" or "looks like candy-cane world" - that game is FUN to play and has LOADS of cool stuff for PvE (not to mention quite balanced PvP).

Originally by: Squably Please leave 0.0 rats alone lol, make complexes and missions that way but theres a lot of people ratting in 0.0 ONLY to make isk for a new pvp ship, n we want it as fast as possible without stupid hassle.
Thats what Im talking about... You don't need fun in PvE, you just need fast and easy cash. God I hate girnd and people who support mindless girnd......
