So never done this before but if I'm picking on the general gossip right there is a big demand for this. Show your support and maybe the right people will get the message.

note: You can fix up the game and give us pve at the same time the two tasks require diffrent people to do :-)

I'd rather aiming, LAVs, laser rifle, dropships, hit boxes, hit detection, red line sniping and terrain were all fixed.

But yeah have a blast with PVE.

You make it sound like its a choice between PVE and the fixes.

Frankly I'm tired of playing the same modes for a year, and we were promised at Fanfest 2012 that we would have PVE later that year. PVE would be the biggest game changer to add variety in the game since it would fundamentally be like a different game added.

Signed. VARIETY matters.

Do you really think the PvE content would be fun to play? We'll get it - then realize what we have is one more mode of repetitive gameplay. The only difference is now Dust is carebear and bad players can feel good about themselves and have somewhere to grind. Dust players SP will increase - but the skill will decrease.

but hey - it might make people want to buy Aur to kill more efficiently so CCP has more money to upgrade the game so I don't fuggin' have to hear a class is "too cost effective to fix"

But priority should go to game modes for PvP and fixing core mechanics and apologizing to us for making it's loyal player-base sit through this crap. I've lost way too many friends who've lost faith in CCP and left - CCP should prioritize something to bring back interest. PvE would only be a patch compared to giving us the content promised - player made equipment, more eve interaction, and a worthy PC mode.

So I guess screw pve. I'm a merc not a trash collector for drones.

You are paid to do whatever your employer tells you to. Not to be stuck up.

Yeah, sure, go ahead and take away the battle academy; Replace it with some PVE and you will have a huge influx of people who can actively get to know the game mechanics while shooting some Drone scum on a battlefield. However, if you keep progressing down this path (talking mostly to you CCP, and also all of you at CPM, who are equally as guilty for an underdeveloped game such as this) you are going to lose this game before Christmas.

I mean it, this game is going to lose over 40 to 50 percent of its people if CCP doesn't pull their head AT LEAST halfway out of their a**.

You put in PVE, and you can take out your silly BA that is only racking more and more hate. Hell, you put in PVE, and you don't even really need matchmaking anymore, and then it could still be New Eden; Just give every player an option to cooperate with other people and make isk while they learn the damn game.

Sometimes, I don't even know if CCP Shanghai or CPM has ever played EVE Online. When you start in the universe of EVE Online, you are given a small little rookie ship, and many choices whether you want to engage other people off-the-bat or not (depending if you like PVP or PVE). Also, remember that a large majority of EVE Online players (called "Carebears" by certain parts of the community) like to do mission running or anything that allows them to casually attack NPC enemies for good isk.

Maybe I don't know how to run a profitable company, but at least I know how to prioritize s**t to generate enough diverse interests to keep this game afloat; and believe me CCP, the choices you are making right now are not going to save you from drowning, unless you change right now.



Tl;Dr: Screw matchmaking and the Battle Academy, just scrap it, and replace all of it with PVE, which will allow people to get used to the game mechanics, make isk, and furthermore, allow an option for them to get battle-ready over time without forcing them to pit against other people. You can't assume everyone wants to PVP, unless you want your game to fail... Which by all means CCP, is under your control alone.
