Why isn't Eve more successful?
Because of lack of content for casual players. Not everyone got enough time to play 2 hours a day, or 3, or 4...
Eve is great, complex game, with lot of possibilities, but unfortunatelly, if someone can play mostly in short sessions, lets say 0,5-1 hour at once, there is suddenly not much to do. Traders or manufacturers could live with this i guess, but for someone who just want to fly in space and shoot things, choice is very limited.
PVE content is crap, missions are boring and repetitive. Exploration is more challenging and fun, but requires more time. Much luck is needed,for finding and running decent site in below one hour...
PVP? If you have fleet on standby, you can join and maybye youll get lucky and get fight. Flying solo? Its not really fun, using your only hour of daily gameplay to look for a fight, and thats not sure, if you will get in the end. To be true, more probably youll just die to gatecamp of guys,that hang there for few hours straight, having nothing better to do. Ship loss is not a big deal, but fact that getting nice fight is such a pain, is.
Maybye i suck at finding fights, maybye i suck at exploration, but i consider myself as not so bad gamer after all, so i think im not the only one who cant truly enjoy Eve due to lack of time.
So, dear Devs, introduce more PVE content, thats not so boring like regular missions. Make missions more unique, not so repetitive, with different goals than "clearing all red crose in the room, move to acceleration gate, repeat". Epic Arcs come to mind, i realy liked for example "smash & grab", most missions should be developed around such scheme.
About pvp - id love to see some flagin system, so i can just undock, flag myself for a fight on choosen conditions, find someone, who flagged himself similar way, and have a fight, knowing, he isnt boosted by alt in offgrid ship, or he isnt a bait, whos only task is to hold me in place until his friends come...
Some of course will advice me to adapt, HTFU, GTFO and thelike, but i dont realy see who could be hurt by such pvp system, except those, who like to fight, always being sure of their advantage... |
