The makeup of the CSM is never going to change at this point. Players have become apathetic over the past few CSMs with seeing the virtual elimination of any high-sec, low-sec and wormhole representation.
It is what it is. I could care less about the CSM at this point (as I suspect is the case with many others), and have zero desire to vote in any future elections or participate in any kind of restructuring.
I used 2,5 bil marauder for missions, so what? How many nestors you saw before the price droped to 400 mil? And how fast they died for lulz at market hubs undock? Was they more popular than now? Price tag is a real thing.
You need to go up a notch I used an officer fitted golem for null ratting ^^ about 16bil total
Price tag is not something you balance for the trig ship prices are reasonable if they arenāt to you then stop being poor
CCP nerfed drops for machariels BPC and increased drops for nestor BPC some time ago. All that because of price changes. Not that it changed something in case of machariels and rattles but itās because nullsec is too safe and being overfarmed. Nestor prices donāt reflect the demand but oversupply.
Marauder spiked in price due to moon mining changes.
many things. id like to see new leadership and clear direction, they used to do roadmaps years ago but i have no clue what the goal is these days. somethings not right at ccp based on recent events. they lost a ton of people and i fear they need a complete restructure. get rid of the guy from ea right off the bat, anyone in ea should be completely blacklisted from ever working in the game industry. and get rid of the people greenlighting all these terrible ideas.
get rid of the agency interface altogether. admit they were wrong on it and it was a bad idea from the start and they should have listened to the players. fire whoever came up with the idea on the spot.
commit to finishing one project at a time that are long overdue on not starting new ones every few weeks to be abandoned.
fix sov
fix bounty system and piracy in highsec/lowsec
add the antibump module like they said they would forever ago
abandon the mobile games theyre working on period. no one wants a mobile game
abandon the monetization from the store on overpriced skins or make them possible drops in game or let players create their own skins with a muted palette, ccp makes trollier garish skins already than most players would make and they wouldnt cost $30 in plex
go back and finish walking in station and dust (former player who was shafted by ccp shutting the game down, still waiting for concrete news of a new shooter with my sp carrying over as was promised, and not on a pc. it should be on ps4 or ps3 as was initially planned with it running alongside eve on pc. none of that lobby shooter garbage they turned it into with nova abandoning the dropsuits and vehicles and removing any sort of gameplay link to eve)
remove the failed resource wars sites and pirate bases that 99.9% of the game is never going to touch. dead content just takes up space.
remove the stupid npc ai in them too. no one wants tougher npcs that slow down farming especially when they dont drop any loot that makes the time invested in killing them wasted.
remove t3 ships, never should have been in the game.
remove abyssal modules and ships, bad idea.
add actual story based quests like every other mmo. current missions are just repeated fetch quests with pointless walls of text and no actual impact.
get rid of csm if its gonna be ndaād. they need to be transparent with the players and stop ignoring feedback when we catch stuff before this stuff is even launched. its almost like ccp just launches stuff without even doing a single test of it cause if they used some of these things on test server pre launch even 1 time they would have caught the issue. just look back at the disastrous events at the start of the agency. all of that could have been easily avoided.
ccp is taking the game in the wrong direction, it was nice they added the alpha thing so that i could come back for a year and play the game for free and relive some nostalgic memories but i dont even really log in anymore and i dont see any point. they havent really accomplished much since the last time i quit playing back during apocrypha. its crazy that back in 2009 was when they first showed stuff for dust and wis shortly after back in 2010 and now its 2018 and its been removed from the game entirely when thats where the future of eve lies.
as much as star citizen seems to be a scam and vaporware that will never be finished what theyve shown already is where eve should have been going years ago. they can actually walk around in a complete ship interior and board/disembark at will onto a planet or other ship. what is ccp still working on after the last few years? updating ship models that should have been finished a decade ago and trying to launch a new mobile game after they shut down ccp atlanta and shanghai imploded to run dust on a skeleton crew for 2 years with no new content being made just bug fixes and having to kill that vr Valkyrie game cause like everyone predicted no one wanted to play it.
waited almost ten years for wis and all they managed to do in that time was cancel alot of side games and let the game stagnate.
Because the game is either regressing backwards or not moving forward. The alpha program isnāt actually going to help the game long term if they run into the same problem they had in dust where it was a massive influx of new players but no one stays and vets keep leaving.
Outside of the small group of dedicated dust players the other 90% were first time players who never played again so the population numbers were misleading. The last few months werw I was active daily for several hours at least it was starting to feel the same as dust.
But hey at least in a few days there will be another overpriced monoclegate their skin. Logged in yesterday to patch and of course there were 600+ Plex (ON SALE) star captain skins out that absolutely no one buys. And Iād wager the numbers would back me up on that if publically available /sigh
Itās nothing against you personally, itās just that at this point CCP is the thing getting in ccps way and that canāt change without change across the board.
Look, I get it - you liked Dust and they killed that game. I feel the same way about what SOE did to Star Wars Galaxies. I hope youāll take a look at Project Nova as it progresses, as maybe that can get you back the FPS you were looking for.
As for the rest, not everybody thinks the game is regressing backwards. If you do, I donāt think thereās anything I can tell you thatās going to change your mind.
There was small thing about āNo taxation without representationā. But I suppose around here it is āDevelopment without representationā. No need to worry, hi-sec will never print enough pamphlets.
You are theoretically correct, but that was a little tone deaf to player sentiment and statistics backing this thread. If more players could be persuaded to vote, the CSM would be considered more broadly representative.
Itās entirely up to 4 Goonswarm members and 1 thatās in their coalition, if they wish to advocate for highsec-only issues, especially PvE. Null players want more players in null.
i guarantee you more people would agree its regressed more than progressed if not making the case its simply failed to advance at all, and no there isnt anything you can say sorry.
I guarantee you they wouldnāt or else the game would be dead, and guys who donāt play the game anymore wouldnāt be complaining about it on the forums.
