Falling Active Player Numbers

Go to the 5 year view and you see the real long term situation

There is a fierce competition among MMOs (spoiler alert: Fortnite, COD, etc) nowdays, not to mention that a part of gamers switched to mobile gaming. These games are much simpler and flashier. HOWEVER a game that sticks to their hardcore fan base always gets to live another day. So no worries here. Eden is evolving and yet it is consistent. And there are moments when it’s a more impressive than the cinema-mega-release of a Star Wars (yet another) film

P.S. Nevertheless, there is still a long wishlist for improvements: more focus on the lore (in-game, not just on wiki); exploration being as deep and strategic as the war or economy aspects (love both); the EVE mobile app needs to be updated badly; etc. I mean, New Eden is smashingly magical but it’s not apparent until other people show it to you

Did you walk to him ? :slight_smile:

You have been one of the vets i kept aye on in space when we were fighting … and i check zboard for fits and kms …
You are a perfect example of descent PvP pilot . And i have listen your ideas about pirate implants and turn out you were right . It bring me only good …

And you are a hopeless optimist … something EvE needs…
On the other hand … i am not pesimist but a very realistic …I am not trying to ruin , bring negativity … I do talk with facts and numbers… And here in forums constantly underlying issues with a company of solutions… to be contructive, not destructive.
Solutions i do suggest always paralell with knowledge and literatur researchs …
not something i made up…
i have devoted my years to develop some solutions suitable for EvE eco system … test a lot of different things …
if i have bad intentions, or pesimism and negativism i would not bother myself to put that much time effort and heavy work for years … … but i did put up a lot of work untill the last moment full of hopes
there are people just write here to vent or shitpost with zero constructive attitude. It does not take any effort…

Someone should tell and spot the right issues issues can be solve …
Nothing can be solve by ignoring it… Either behaving like it doesnt exist.
Ignoring the facts and reflections and act like everything is fine has a literatur name .

Damn nearly % 45 loss :frowning:

How are they supposed to know? Should everyone know the name of high sec systems by heart so they can avoid accidental suicides in low and null sec systems on grids that may lead to high sec?

You could just click on the gate, and see the name of the system it connects to and the sec status of said system.

So first I need to check the grid of this Astrahus that I landed on when combat probing the target for possible gates that might lead to high sec, lock him up and scram all within the seconds it takes for that target to get away?

EVE isn’t always very clear. Especially when a lot of things show up on your overview there are high priority objects and low priority objects on it.

Please don’t make ā€˜check all the gates to see if they might lead to high sec’ a life-threatening high priority object.

The dude said these patrols would only be on gates that lead to highsec. It stands to reason you would only be CONCORDed if you were fighting on a gate that led to highsec. You can easily click said gate and see where it leads and what the sec status of this system is.
This is remarkably simple. I should not have to explain this ā– ā– ā– ā– .

Just a question, are you always aware of all the gates that are on your grid and where they lead to?

I know I’m not.

Yes. Because I’m not an idiot.
There is only ever at most one gate on your grid. Ezpz.

Well I guess I’m an idiot who sometimes cares more about other things on grid than whatever gate is on it, often among a dozen other structures and/or ships. Let’s not make EVE any more complicated for people like me who rely on the number in the top left to tell me whether CONCORD will attack me or not.

Grids are already weird things that sometimes extend further than you would expect. Let’s not add CONCORD to that mess.

Just…click the gate dude. Once. That’s all you have to do. If the number is >=0.5, you can’t fight there without being CONCORDed. If it’s <0.5, you can.
You can do that while you are warping in. You’re making this out like this is some incredible feat of intellectual power that only the most genius among us can perform. It’s literally less than a second, and it’s something most of us already do when fighting on a gate so we know if we can realistically chase people through it or not.
Give it a rest. You’re only exposing how little you know about this game.

When you taking gate from high to lowe CCP slap a warning to your face ! You sure ? You want to take the gate? Look this is open to some filty places !

But there is no such thing when you jump from low to high …

He can create a post and share his suggestion there… there are already ā– ā– ā– ā–  loads of risk averse application suggestions in forums recently , will not seem ackward

I think its important to make a distinction between risk averse and simply refusing to take a risk that has not nearly enough reward. There isn’t much reward for merely stepping foot in low sec, but there sure is a heck of a lot of risk.

Can anyone see a benefit to EVE for making it less risky to just get into low sec? I want to get more people to fly around and see what its like, so that they might be convinced to go deeper. Is the concept of testing the waters so foreign?

Morning Ridley,
I wanted To get more people to fly aroud into low sec .
I want them to see what it is like …
I want them to experience it.
I wanted to grow descent pilots who lean on knowledge and understanding not the isk in their pockets, pilots knows how to banter. Pilots with healty risk assesment skills and attitudes…

So what did i do?
Back then i have been leading corp where members trained and get ready for all round
PvP . Not limited for any nul or low sec corp aliances who are profit oriented focused their own needs .
So I cover all different aspects without limitis… To give pilotes cahce to explore new eden and explore themselves…never join any aliance and refuse all offers.
For low sec:

1- I have picked amar minmatar space… drop bases to kamela , amamake , siseide more down to road avenod… so stations full of ships even 1 day old pilot fly and engage pvp, as well as t2 fitted ships bs down … full set diciplin flight capable to breake gate camps i staged… and i handout them free

2- i have also reshipped so many solo / gang pilots who are not from my corp just randoms or regulars of the area… i handout free and i kept proper fits for them for quick reship . Some of them i have asked their fits to sent me so i made fits cutomised for them… i had mats in Auga when i hve left like nearly 10 bil value to produce ships with full 10/20 blueprint originals archive God knows how much value it has … all pased to rvb from persuaders when i take over mysteriously get lost after i leave RVB…
3. The days before i took over
RvB i have been talking to Hydra Reloaded to launch 50k dessie down FFA in amamake and i had begin to talk to some local aliance and corps for defence fleets for that event…

There is FUN ! In low sec… A LOT OF FUN !

I havent heard the word ā€œ FUNā€ when you talking about ā€œ RISKā€ in that equation…

Dock workers had been gate camping… as turn out once they simply donate huge amount of isk for the pilotsni had been taking to low sec fleet… Some of them 1-2 days old! We took the fight against them, we have banter with them that was sooo fun !
And i split the isk straight between pilots and they all so thrilled!

There were camps occationally to the entrance of that area… we have 3 alternatives to enter and never ever 3 of them camped at the same time.
But there were lot of camps inbetween our roaming destinations… so therefor i staged fitted ships inside the different zones,
To keep action flow and not to cut of by reshipping from rens or amarr or whatever…
Was same reason i have been feeding local pilots with ships… More pilots in the field more possibiltybof action and funz…

Once very big PL fleet camped the Amamake gate… they had been killing everything entering amamake from rens side … So now… please put yourself into my shoes… ! I do all these to gear up the content inside the low sec… and someone over there sitting in a huge fancy blinky ship fleet with logi and everything and butcherin everything for hours …
I wnet to gate,l, and begin to banter them… and passed to other side and begin to warn everybody who is in system and about to jump into amamake. Aprx 2 hours… PL jump into high and kille me there … i got possed i think i come back with leopard and unfortunately i fed it to them to felt bit stupid… bud did not give up… i saved dozens of ships that day may be and directed them to other gates,

I did my best to ruin their gate camp and was so fun… then things getting tense and ā– ā– ā– ā–  talk begin to go out of hands, ( not my hands lol )

Then suddenly amamake went into trig invasion and fleet dismissed…

Do you know what hit us heavy ? When CCP introduced instant dung finder … people begin to queue up for 1v1 s and 2v2 s … i have begin to tract activity on different systems daily and weekly basis while CCP s spesific fights are up… Activity crushed to bottom in tose systems … one more time ! DEV MADE CONTENT sabotaged the natural ece systems thrive!

Now… DO NOT. Assume that i dont understand how you feel and think ,

I have been in frint line and i out so much on from myself to the line …

If i am telling you and telling myself what you are not suggesting is not right for the case… i do tell you from not my emotional and game experience knowledge and understanding,

Im telling you no because i have professional understanding and knowledge about the risk aversion, human nature and social psych …
along with perspective as an eve vet.

I am telling you those as person who dedicated her years for develop solutions … not to just go and work for hoard iskes to fly blinky ships and burning with power fantasies… and not just after my personal indulgence…
I think…
thats why CCP decided that EvE is not suitable for me …

That’s all great. And maybe people ā€œshouldā€ take your advice and try low sec as you did, do, or suggest.

But its been this way for years and is low sec getting the action it ā€œshouldā€? I would not say I have enough data, but what I hear suggests it doesn’t. And if it doesn’t for this long, then I don’t think appeals to give it a shot are going to work. If they would, they would have already. Thus I suggest mechanics changes.

Oh no!!! PANIC!!!

DONT SIGH! I love you.

F U :rofl:

Have you tried going to low sec in a shuttle?

Pretty much no risk and if you lose it you’ve lost little. And then you can see low sec (or null sec, wormhole space and Pochven) aren’t actually as scary as you make it look.

Now high sec, that’s a scary place. People everywhere and war deccers that camp gates in ships that can catch even instawarp ships.
