I wanted to tell the whole story but I’m just going to get to the point instead it’s not right that after learning a skill completely that it doesn’t become available to the player regardless of their omega status it was bought and paid for instead it’s held back unless we are omega that to me is a theft and that’s why I don’t pay for the game anymore haven’t in a long time I feel if everyone would stop paying for the game which is what a lot of people are doing now because of the hike they won’t have any income from subs only a huge free to play player base and there are many huge mmo’s that are free to play and get updates all the time they make their money to pay their employees so why can’t eve? It’s because they are greedy and are trying to milk every dime they can from players there really is no other explanation.
This will never happen. It’s like predicting the servers will shut down soon XD (They will not, and people will still pay for EVE)
thanks for taking the time to reply to me…i finally realized i needed to log into an Alt account to see the discount deal… dumb me hehehe
Very welcome.
Not sure if this is going to increase revenue. I usually omega 2 accounts. But now I would focus on one and plex the second one. Makes me skil a bit slower as a trade-off since I would have otherwise bought skill injectors for the isk. So on me personally you are going to earn less. Actually 33 percent less.
I wonder if the plex version of a sub is also discounted on an alt, on amount of plex needed.
Are you referring to accounts that are holding 3 characters and only one is currently Omega and the other two don’t have an active Multiple Pilot Training Certificate?
It is showing me 485 plex needed per month for that Mtc so the sale is just on the money side.
When I logged onto one of the alts on the same account it was 370 or something like that maybe it was a sale that lasted only a few days.
Just LOVE the fact I didn’t get Any Real Content, nor did i get any Real Bug Fixes, nor Any Real Quality of Life Features
But I got A Real Price Increase.
My 7yr old can prolly run the company better than you guys.
At least he understands if he wants his allowance, he has to take out the trash and Actually do something for it.
CCP turned medium sized structures into ez solo killmails for you to take in 5 minutes of dreadnaught siege. Don’t like dreads? How about you drop 50 alts in Legions in and solo the structure before any defense could form up, then? CCP has introduced the blops filament for you to be able to fire all your alts right on the content in one single click. You don’t have a t3c on each of your alts? Don’t worry, CCP has introduced new skills and basically forced miners to learn them, so we can sell more injectors again.
All your dreams of winning eve by investing more money into the game then your competition are finally coming true. Purge the other players from your constellation and have it all for yourself !
Ultimate content time (especially once you’re alone there)
I agree with a big chink of your post, but the miners actually made out a little on the skill changes.
The new skills take less SP than the old refunded skills did. So a fully skilled miner ended up a couple hundred thousand SP to the good.
Another day, another broken patch
but ehi, pay us 33% more, you dirty cunts
I have to admit I’m absolutely devastated - I’ve been thinking about coming back to EVE for a few months now, and I’ve been hearing good things about Careers and more content planned. I downloaded it today ready to jump in, and then find myself looking at £17 a MONTH. I was actually stunned.
I then read through the comments here, see that current players are angry because they’re not getting their money’s worth BEFORE the hike, let alone after it.
Why then should I, as a returning player (from 2017) invest £17 a month into a game that current players say isn’t worth it? It’s extortionate considering other larger MMOs are far cheaper.
Shame, I was looking forward to hopping back into it.
Maybe you can play as alpha for now or to check if it’s worth subbing?
Mind your language. That is no way to talk about miners.
The game has a free to play component (endless free trial). Why don’t you invest a couple hours and decide for yourself as opposed to listening to a collection of anonymous internet windbags?
The problem is that the Air Careers stuff boils down to kill 10 rabbits that are eating Farmer Tyrannos prize carrots for a reward. Its nothing new, its a quest format that’s been around for longer than Eve, and its a backwards step for Eve. It might attract some WoW players but they are dumber than a box of turnips.
LOL, I don’t know if you know this. But I don’t Have Alts.
Now on to your Rebuttal!
Turning med Sized Structures might be Content for you, but it certainly not for me, considering Damn near any Time Capitals are involved TiDi Literally Sucks the Life out of the Gameplay. Heck nowadays, having over 400 pilots in a system Brings on TiDi. So maybe you like to have caps or what not because you Used to just get your 50 Legions and then Lag out to hell.
Blops Filament? Are you serious It’s never Really been dialed in, But I guess you like it? Just another thing to use to bypass territory boundaries and fortifications.
New Skills. No they Took a situation which they did not understand, and totally threw a grenade into it and wondered why the thing is FUBAR’d
the more I think of it, the more I think you are being sarcastic. But who knows.
And I won’t have to purge anything. CCP’s policies and business model will.
I totally agree with the sentiment of most people here… I was also tempted to return as other releases are a while away but… subbing for just a month or two at a time in most mmo’s is already a tough sell as it’s the least economic option.
With the price increase however, it turns eve online which despite having a loyal fanbase from a more niché mmo into something that looks extensively more unwelcoming to its own detriment.
What eve would rather benefit from is making sure people -stay- and having to debate price vs enjoyment every month at a time will drain motivation and drive away players, potential newcomers and returners alike.
It makes eve despite not appealing to the core audience, lose even more appeal due to becoming simply to expensive and looking at other games, especially something like FF14 or ESO, it seems kind of unfair almost.
FF14 has you pay for expansions but has a considerably lower sub-cost while eso lets you permanently unlock content or optionally pay monthly for all-access like eve online, but it provides active subscribers with far more value per month, due to giving them currency they can then spend on said permanent content unlocks. The equivalent would be eve letting you increase alpha skillpoint limits permanently or unlocking the ability to equip modules and fly ships otherwise unable to alpha clones.
Furthermore… most people had a terrible time… we’re still trying to recover barely. Covid, the war going on, housing and food prices and electricity spike yearly and most families struggle more rather then less. For a bunch of people gaming is helps them cope and it doesn’t seem right to advertise true freedom when people get locked out or feel left behind simply not being able to afford a ‘premium’ status.
Omega skilling faster, maybe getting early access to some things, getting premium skins or colorable tracer rounds or ship engine colors and such, getting some plex every month, maybe slightly better insurance if you really must affect gameplay or prime clones if you die but most importantly make it fun to omega and the thing people want to do to support you as a developer.
Don’t make it so people feel like they have no other way to play the game at a peak or optimum level and feel locked out of activities and that makes them -have- to pay.
You aren’t seriously comparing EVE to FF14?
FF14 has to be one of the most boring games out there, other than dungeons and looking pretty, nothing to do. There isn’t even PvP. Damage parsing addons are forbidden as is saying something naughty incase you make a snowflake cry, a safespace for snowflake crybabies.
