Hillmar made brief comments in an interview for Fireside Chat that some players are taking as a statement of intent.
Hillmarâs comments were, in context, about his vision of a âperfectâ EVE - but not an expression of âhere are changes on the roadmap for EVE developmentâ.
Is CCP looking at potential tweaks to industry activity in NPC stations? Yes. (They are looking at about a million things at any given time, so take that with a grain of salt for potential to actually implement anything.)
Do we have any details about the scope of changes being considered or their potential impact on industrialists? No.
Other than my belief that skillbook prices would rocket to the moon, I donât see the issue with doing away with NPC industry.
Particularly anything that could not be balanced with changes to PC industry, such as more available production slots and cheaper use of NPC industry equipment.
I see a problem with doing away with it. If they take out NPC stations as a viable option, then yeah its a problem for me. I do and still do some things in Citidals, it is however a pita to find out that the station owner either A. stopped fueling the thing, or B, it was destroyed.
I have had both happen in the middle of production or research. Now my stuff that made it through sits in asset safety. Another thing rumors buzz about doing away with.
I stopped grinding day and night a while back. Now I play for pleasure, and if it takes me longer to get there, or I never get there then so be it.
Not looking to get space rich. I do not have to âwinâ Eve. I donât give a fig about sovereignty, nor do I care for null sec politics. Corps I have been in turned out to be placer corps or corps where they need you on 24/7 it seems. Usually I cannot play often enough to really contribute much anyway. So I role solo. Before the âEve is not meant to be solo thingâ, no duh.
Anyway the mineral changes were a pita. I still do it for myself because I enjoy it. But it makes it harder. I mine odd hours now usually at night in low to get what I need there. An over watch for the rats is a must.
The drone aggression changes make it a pita now for miners. And nobody mines afk, being that the afkârs were CCPâs beef. Z kill boards main red meat are miners in Ventures and Retrievers.
Who does that? More than once? Now this thing has come up. Its my gripe. I pays my money so I gripe.
I am sure thatâs true. I have to admit that I did not watch the video in question. And after re-reading, it seems I did not understand the issue here.
All this could have been avoided however, with a little known and arcane computer technique I hope becomes mainstream one day. This might be interesting reading for some folks:
There are multiple wholly unnecessary threads about this subject already, and the actual interview is already linked in other threads. Reposting the link is not an obligation any user has other than the person trying to start the discussion - which would be the OP, who hasnât bothered to watch the video, only a vloggerâs commentary on said video.
Thereâs really no point having discussion on this particular thread because the OP wasnât willing to do even basic fact-checking of the rumor he heard before trying to stir up worries.
Which is why I recommended the OP actually watch the video.
I generally subscribe to an older and these days, even more arcane idea.
Originally it would go âGive a person a fish and they will eat for a day, Teach a person to fish and they will eat for lifeâ
or more apropos, âGive a person a link, and they may become more informed for one thread. Encourage a person to search for the information and they may become more informed for all topicsâ
This is getting extremely ridiculous extremely fast. Your post coming after mine, I thought that was meant for me.
And I have no idea why you think the OP did not watch the video. It sounds like he did.
Both policies contain practical flaws, but I shall focus on the second:
Youtube is AFAIK the largest repository of publically available videos of all sorts in the world. That being the case, and not armed with an exact title for a search, it is quite possible to find and watch multiple different videos with conflicting information and still not know which is the correct video being discussed or even if its included. That will lead to problems I should think are obvious.
Literal decades of experience hunting information without a proper video title (which is even easier to cut and paste than a link as its usually shorter and usually contains text only with no symbols) has taught me that I can usually, but not always get some sort of information if not the exact page/video in question. This was one of those times I could not. And before anyone even thinks of insisting THEY could, easily, please remember that everyone gets different search results depending on what cookies they have in their browser and/or algorythyms assigned by their particular accounts. I searched and got nothing.
In short, post your links and make things smooth. Or donât and enjoy a discussion akin to marching through a bog.
Response has a great deal to do with how the original statement is made. Had OP posted âI saw commentary from a third party about a CCP interview. Iâm having trouble finding the interview in question. Here is a link to the video commentary; can someone help me find the interview they are talking about?â any number of people would have readily given them the link because that is what they were seeking in their post.
Instead, OP posted with an acknowledgement that the source may be incorrect, and wanted to know if the statements of the third party were true - without even providing a link to said third party to let anyone else evaluate those statements. When the OP isnât willing to put in effort on their ask, most of us arenât going to go out of our way to do their legwork for them and get them the resource they didnât even try googling for first.
CCP just had a very publicized âFireside chatâ Literally linked in the game launcher among other places. That is a very specific video to find, and easy to search for.
Iâm not talking about overarching general âgo find itâ stuff. If there was some obscure reference I would post that for clarity. In this case the video in question is already linked in several other duplicate threads already. And it is easy to find.
Not to mention there is already a link in this thread. No need to duplicate that.
Hi,
I wonder if that person was me? Either way to clarity I said that it was mentioned that a potential changes may be happening sometime in the future.
What this will be is anyoneâs guess at the moment however CCP has stated they are not 100% happy with industry in its current state. I then go on to state why I believe this may not be bad ect.
You seem to be out to piss me off with a bunch of unfounded contrarian statements that seem to be from some sort of goofy mirror dimension in a time loop. I think at the very least you might want to consider what âvery publicizedâ means because I can guarantee not a single one of my neighbors would have the slightest frakking idea about anything related to EVE.
Yeah, AFTER I pointed out there was no link. What medication are you currently on?
The same reason why douchebags post âgimmie your stuffâ in quitting threads. Eve attracts a certain type of player, theyâre 96% male, incel, hypocritical, and toxic to a default.
Iâm not sure if you just do these things on purpose, or you are from the same place as Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy (where his race took everything literally).
I think anyone reading what I wrote would come to the seemingly obvious context of the EVE community. To anyone participating on these forums and playing the game, the CCP fireside chat was a fairly pulbicized event, being that it was posted to their twitter feed, on their Youtube channel, and on the game launcher.
Yes but before I replied. I take aspirin from time to time, but not very often.
A forum representative will soon be along to berate you for not knowing exactly what that means, as since they guessed correctly, they know any idiot could. LOL
Of course you might also be told that ambiguous search terms should have led you to an answer in under 2.21 seconds using Jeeves. ROTFL
What they mean is that there is an idea about doing away with players being able to do industrial jobs in 100 percent safe NPC stations, and will instead have to manufacture items, do research on blue prints, reprocess ore, etc only in less than 100 percent safe player owned stations.
What it means is that CCP Hilmar, as he has always talked about, would like EVE to be as player driven as possible.
It means you should really listen to the original stream segment in context (It is linked further up). Hilmar was talking about a lot of things that in a perfect world heâd love to see, up to and including the removal of NPC stations altogether. He also acknowledged that we have things like NPC stations and asset safety for a reason.
What it doesnât mean is that they have any such changes actually on the update plans. Nowhere did they say any of this was actively in the works. He was just talking about what CCP Hilmar always has talked about.
I donât spend a lot of time on YouTube or listening to stream segments or whatever you are referring to. I have no idea who CCP Hilmar is. Thus my question here.
And I gave a pretty extensive answer just above. CCP Hilmar is the current ceo of ccp and has been with ccp since almost the beginning during EVEâs pre release development
