so true
So, everything announced at FF 2022 is coming Q4 2022?
The justification of the 33% price increase should have been THE NUMBER ONE point on Key Notes.
I have 4 Accounts and everything is getting more expensive for everyone. And as a EU citizen i pay with €. So iam basically paying the more then guys who pay 20$…and people in UK are paying even ■■■■■■■ more in terms of value.
So how can you not talk in the slightest about this and why…no new content since years. No content is finished right. Missions are the ■■■■■■■ same since 19 years. That you wanna tackle FW is good. And UI team seems to be the only team who IS actually working. But some new Wormhole Content or finishing like Triglavian Content or Drifters. Doing some drifter incursions or so or whatever…but NOTHING.
I already know over 10 people that quit their multiple accounts. In the end you will loose way more money then you got from that price charge…I really dont understand how you calculate these things.
There is no way that you cant read the comments of the community and read the room how people feel about it. Or are you thinking “eve players always just criticize”. We are definitly a special community but we still love the idea of the game. I know people that stoped playing eve in 2015 but STILL look into all eve things. You are about to loose your community…
But if you dont want to read all that blabber i put it simple.
You want more money, you have to justify that and deliver something…but what you actual delivered dont justify a price increase of 5€…in no way.
I wont stop play because i have still people in the game that i enjoy the time in eve but i will cut down some accounts…and i think many people will do this.

Sooooo, pretty much all stuff that’s already done and doesnt affect gameplay and the rest is mostly irrelevant since we have no idea when. Bottom line is, they dont tackle the real problems, they promise some whatever particle effects which might be cool but no gameplay improvement.
Yup, i had no expectation and i am still disapointed.

And thus, not actually announcements for this FF, but part of the ‘look what’s already been done!’

The issue I see is that Eve Online offers players the abilty to become a hoarder in New Eden and by doing such looks like it had created it’s own reasons for such plex and price increase.
Now this new achievement type currency that is said to hold no plex value other than player completion/progression looks a lot like it will be added and available to omega pilots only forcing the plex price increases onto alpha hoarder pilots that play just to collect NES or Market type items.
I see that the game is changing more and more to become pay to play maybe you guys should cancel the alpha and let only be omega good idea right ? :3

Yes and a lot of the future promises wrapped up in ‘Early in development’, ‘Well along’, ‘Early in the process’… Some of the future plans were just concept renders. The vast majority was about environment visuals, audio and UI updates mostly used while docked.
So, need a 33% increase to pay for all the future plans.

Eve isn’t dead yet, they didn’t mention “Linux” once at fanfest.
They sort-of did while they were drooling over their MacOS release. There was a short episode in that part where they talked about how they make EVE platform agnostic and that that would enable them to release it on other platforms and OS.
But did they say the “Linux” word?
That word is like “holy water” to companies.
They just cannot say it
Hello everyone,
So I took the time to watch each of the conferences of this Fanfest 22 - XIX…
Note n°1: the majority of the speakers are young people who did not even know Eve Online in its infancy; they are essentially young analysts of the dynamic data of the Tranquility server; they are disciplined and are at the sole service of CCP, but in no way that of the players…
Note n°2: the statistical analyzes presented to us are all oriented in the direction of the returns of Eve Online for the sole benefit of CCP; a few eloquent examples: increase in the average number of accounts per player, increase in the average destruction of player assets within New Eden, increase in playing time spent by a minority of players located completely above ground compared to the player base, etc.
Note n°3: even the so-called AIR expert systems are oriented in the direction of more profits for CCP, they are perfect tools for conditioning new players so that they become perfect cash cows for the benefit of CCP, but all these tools, which require no less than 70 hours of personal investment, are in no way tools aimed at encouraging free and natural social links within the game, and finally
Note n°4: nothing within these conferences addresses the questions that all of us here have been raising for weeks following the unexpected announcement of inflation of +33%…
Contrary to appearances, Eve Online is therefore well and truly on the verge of becoming a veritable cash machine on the backs of consenting pigeons (naive players), and this to the detriment of the technological evolution of the game itself, since even on this level, the announcements relating to the future evolutions of the game are absolutely not: we will undoubtedly change and as always cosmetics (example: towards new visuals of docking of the ships), but in no case of game play (example: no new ship maneuverability)…
Greed is therefore indeed a value in its own right of CCP, located alas! far beyond the original promises of the founding fathers of Eve Online: Stephen Ganade, please come back!
Moreover, all these Fanfests still do not finally give us a faithful image of the claims of the players themselves; they are nothing more than personal self-gratification sessions on the part of CCP Staff pretending to make the game more agnostic than ever; It’s just budding pseudo-scientific ■■■■■■■■…
New Eden has literally lost its child’s soul! It is now up to us alone to know if we are really ready to fight together to allow him to find her!
See my points 1-, 2- or 3- already mentioned under this thread…
Personally, faced with the contemptuous, even condescending attitude of CCP, I definitely opt for point 2-: turn your back on OMEGA as I have just done, because the time for the ALPHA revolution has indeed arrived ! Also, form the horde and join the revolution!
Try To Fly Safe Again.

Perhaps Eve (CCP) needs an existential threat to change.

The thing i find soooo ■■■■■■■ annoying about all of this is the complete and utter ■■■■ CCP keeps spouting, the lack of transparency and the contradictions every single time a different moron from this company speaks up. CCP sends a complete retard onto the discord to do a shitty interview, and he makes massive promises on behalf of the company “wait for fanfest…largest content update weve ever done” and then they announce ZERO fuckin content at all. So why is your dev either completely inept at his job and has no fuckin clue what hes talking about, or hes a liar which is it CCP? why dont you ■■■■■■■ clarify all of these ■■■■■■■■ contradictions and vague responses. We as your PAYING customers deserve a fuckin answer if you want us to eat this 33% hike…

For each one of us this will come to an individual choice.
For me it is a matter of mathematics: Do I love Eve more than the extra money it will cost me to continue playing Eve?
After watching the fanfest content and not logging in the last three days, I have decided the answer is “Yes”.
I’m going to add six months of time using the current “pre-price hike” sale and reevaluate in November.
I find Eve satisfying in a way no other game has been able to match. Eve makes me feel things no other game has, so I stay. I stay even if Eve sometimes treats me badly (little to no new content, price increase).
Eve is a lot like my spouse. Leaving Eve is cheaper than a divorce however, so CCP gets another six months to prove they still love me.
