Theme 8 (part 3/3)

FUTURE OF EVE VANGUARD

Closing Thoughts
It has only been a year since we announced EVE Vanguard – and it has already been quite the journey. We are a small team with big ambitions, and we are resolute in building towards a shared vision for EVE Vanguard – but we know what we’ve prioritised and chosen to build out for you so far in our major feature releases has showcased the game that we are trying to build, the universe we want to impact, and the types of experiences we want players to have with a gun in their hand.

We get there with your help as we have only gotten to where we are now with it – building this alongside the community as we set out when we first announced EVE Vanguard.

I’ll repeat what I wrote up above about ‘what EVE Vanguard is’ because it’s how we ‘win’, and part of the challenge as to how we make EVE Vanguard a success – we’re not building a single experience, a single mode of play, we’re building a playground. We’re building the tools to allow you all to create your own goals, write your own stories, have that impact on New Eden, and one day be part of the record-breaking stories that got us all so excited to be a part of this universe in the first place.

What will EVE Vanguard look like in five years? Well, that’s up to you!

I do not want to hurt anyone’s feelings, the Vanguard team no doubt are working with passion and dedication to the title.

I have ARMA, ARMA2, ARMA3, Rust, 7 Days to Die, Left 4 Dead and Tarkov in my library. The day the wiggle video was released was the last day I played Tarkov, as I was not only bad ( the teenagers I game with do all the fighting, I am the Kevin Hart bag man from Jumanji ) at the technical aspects of a realistic shooter, very annoyed at the possibility that as a full loot PvP game it was a certainty that I died at least once, if not more to cheaters and lost all my stuff.

Vanguard looks like it is an extraction shooter with crafting, in a market that is saturated with shooters that are full looters or variants of, many of which are already established. I would not even consider downloading it unless there was a PvE mode, so I can be something more than a target for people who are on a better connection with a 4k screen :frowning: The people I know who are still into the FPS genre are playing titles like Apex, CS and a very tarkov looking title called ?Grayzone Warfare? at least, when they are not hooning around in iRacing. I do not find them fun, as it seems all formulaic about standing in a particular spot, throwing a grenade at certain time at a particular pixel and getting yelled at because I can’t headshot a guy 30 meters away with a pistol.

I like the EVE Universe, but I do not want to invest time into the next Dust 514, Gunjack or Valkyrie and feel like I wasted time outside of the ‘core’ EVE.

That was a pleasant read, @CCP_Lumi Thank you for that.
I want to download EVE Vanguard and try it. I hope I can evolve in the world you and your team are building and appreciate the mechanics and graphics as I currently do with Eve online. It looks like you have a good vision for it and know what you want. I wish you much success and thank you for everything you’re doing in making EVE-O and Vanguard player friendly and exciting.
