This game was never designed to help everyone succeed. It was designed so that those who try had the opportunity, but that opportunity was also dependent on other players and the state of diplomacy in PC.
We weren't designed for casuals, we were designe as another insight to the EvE universe, but be the boots on the ground to there wars. A place casuals could play, but would never get far, in fact, remove Pubs, make FW the only pub, and insert the different game modes as 'different battle strategies' that the empires take to conquer and defend land. (Random idea, not a part of the topic)
And being soldiers, that means we get the shortest sticks, life's hard for us, we have to make a name for ourselves or be lost in the thousands of other voices trying to be heard.
So how do you stick out, and how do you make a player stick around?
It's simple, and it's already there: You make the high end part of your game special. You make it look like being a part of PC is the highlight of your existence as a gamer, a literal sandbox universe that anyone with enough skill and friends could get involved and make a difference, conquering entire planets and telling others to **** off, or come party.
you give meaning to the grind by showing them the end game, and how the end game constantly evolves.
Because that's how it is, and that's the only reason a lot of are still here, even those who quit and only post.
Do the GD peasants here know of the EoN Wars, a war where thousands upon thousands of players took arms to fight the largest american land holders, resulting in nearly 70 battles every day for a single corp?
Or how about the CRONOS wars where the Europeans upstarts nearly took over the galaxy through amazing diplomacy and maneuvering?
How about the DNS Take-over where an EvE Empire basically came down upon us and changed everything going on in the game for PC players?
Dust doesn't do enough to highlight the importance to the grind. The grind matters, but players won't know unless they explore on there own.
CCP, you need to put a lot more focus on the UI and tutorial to lead players to PC. |

Here's another example of why this game's potential is being ruined.
Posts like these used to start domino effects, which is why so many people still go to alts to post when there mains are unbanned, the animosity they generate sometimes is incredible, and that tension translates to PC and creates a **** ton of fun for everyone.
It's gone now, posts like his are just like farms now, and CCP - you can fix this with simple changes to how a player is introduced to the UI. Or throw it in there face like you do that pointless news that never changes for months at a time.
Put a board up that shows the map, who owns the most where, and even boarders if you wanted to go the extra mile, it's all very possible editions too, within your means, that would go a long way to making NPE have a little more meaning |
