So a fluff idea most people wouldn’t care about, remember, these ideas need to appeal to the masses in order to make them worthwhile so that people actually USE the feature
Not really sure why you would even want that, who wants to stare at a screen watching another players avatar just walk around a single room, again, not going to appeal to the masses
Would end up needing to be fairly meaningless loot, the gameplay loop wouldn’t exactly be complicated so you’re likely talking about room decorations again which aren’t going to appeal to that many people
Would need to also be accessible to people not wanting to bother running the CQ portion or those on machines literally unable to run it, which also applies to the above, its why the content for CQ would have to have mostly no impact on the rest of the game, which by default would mean most people would have little to no interest in it
Now, you can claim to not care about my opinions, and thats fine, but when you’re looking at the bigger picture you’ll see the same issues, and being able to look at the bigger picture would be a mandatory skill for someone who wanted to be oin the CSM
Yeah the kind of people who they wanted to attract to play shooters aren’t going to want to download an entire other game just to be able to access the FPS game, hence why they are and would remain entirely separate applications outside of the social ties to corps
Not really, but i can understand how you might struggle to look at the bigger picture
Nobody i knew used EVE-Voice for anything because superior options existed, there was literally no reason to pick EV over teamspeak/vent at the time
EVElopedia was already eclipsed by many other guides and wasn’t updated frequently enough, EVE-Uni already surpassed everything CCP wanted to create, so they axed a product that was already redundant the day it launched
The IGB was dropped mostly due to it not being used and webkit basically being a security liability, you’re already logged in to a PC at this point so if you desperately need browser access just press alt-tab, so again, a mostly redundant product
Are you seeing a pattern yet?
Yes, when 3rd party sources update their content faster and provide more detail and create video guides to go alongside it, yes, CCP could have hired an army of people to write guides for every single part of EVE and create videos for every type of activity and tactic in the game, but it really isn’t worth it when dedicated players are already going to do it themselves in a format that better suits them
See where you see greed i see CCP realising that the players making content for the game is the best way to keep them engaged with said content and keep them playing, it helps build the community and encourages players to seek out likeminded players to help build and maintain this content
Do you think EVE Scout would be as popular as they are if CCP just told everyone where the thera WH’s were all the time and hosted and wrote all the guides themselves?
Do you think EVE-Uni would be as popular if CCP wrote all the new player guides for everything?
So yeah
