I don't mean I don't want competition; I mean I don't want this to forego fun gameplay to make it appeal to the "competitive" crowd who wants everything to be perfectly balanced and fair. I've run into these people in other games and they basically seem to want to suck the fun out of everything to make it "competitive".
So if it comes to a choice between RPG elements and consistency with the EVE universe over "competitive" suitability, I'd prefer the former any day.
Also in before "you don't like competition just because you suck so bad at this game". I can already see it coming. Dunno what to say as you have 2 distinct audiences, you have the eve crowd who want every thing as complex and unforgiveing as possible. Then you have the fps crowd who want a fun and fluid balanced shooter and ccp cant decide which camp they are in and niether crowd is willing to give an inch hence the game cant decide what it is
You are both wrong.
I won't speak for all of the Imperfects but very many of them want MORE rpg not less.
Very few of them support the amount of nerfing this game has experienced.

Pretty much this.
Though I extend this to not want average FPS players to even want to play games I play.
To attract those players the game will have to compromise itself so far that it wouldn't be a fun game for me and players like me. |

And as it's an fps it is going to have to go head to head against Bf , cod and the other fps out there wether it's designed to or not
This is a very incorrect statement.
If it provides something unique there is no need to compete directly.
It could even have measurable worse graphics (though probably would still need -tight- fps play).
Seeking to compete directly will ruin this game. |

Wether you like it or not these are the games it's up against as it's firstly an fps.
I think you should learn about a few more FPS games if you think Battlefield and COD are the only ones out there.
Lots of different FPS (especially on the PC) that cater to different groups of players.
They don't try to pull the 10m players out of BF or COD by just being another version of BF or COD. |
