Also, I don't know about you guys, but I would kill to have players recreating the Kadeshi from Homeworld in the Lagoon Nebula and scaring off explorers in that system.
Give us freedom, the same as EvE. Consigne the universe to the players, FD
- Thread starter feroce
- Start date
I haven't even seen more than 10 people in an Elite instance
Let alone without any lag. 1 bad pinger and the whole instance starts warping.
Rofl "break into Solo and make them all cry for a few hours" says it all, "the prosecution rests your honour".
I am avoiding open because I don't want to meet some of the people I see on this forum in game too (yes I am looking at you), this is where I come to have fun not "cry for a few hours", lol good luck with that too, apart from 1 episode of lassie I have been pretty good at controlling my tears for the last 30+ years.
Apologies for not reading all 740 posts before responding.
I am not at all interested in having the sort of massive player input that results players owning a (or a network) of spacedocks and controlling an entire area of space. That inevitable favors the people who believe in gaining money for it's own sake. It also ends up with a few people who own a lot and can disproportionately affect the game for many other people. A year in, it could be all but impossible for new people to feel involved in any way, or things will turn over so fast that it will be hard to keep track of what is happening in any area. I don't want to fight at that level. It gets way too unbalanced and there's no way to rebalance it.
I don't appreciate it when people kill other people because "they are bored" and I certainly don't want that kind of person controlling a space station.
I haven't played EVE, but tales from past EVE players have made me decide that I am unlikely eve to want to. http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/10/28/eve-evolved-top-ten-ganks-scams-heists-and-events/
And those are even the 'ordinary' griefing that exists.

Funny; I play Solo, but I haven't cried in 30 + years...
Someone doesn't like EVE, and that has nothing to do with the bore factor of ED, keep talking crazy guys.
LMAO, hey Frontier, is this going to be an awesome Multiplayer or a mediocre single player game with multiple players flying around too? (Like Destiny)

Dude I was joking, I have zero PVP kills to my name, zero
Whoa, what a strangely accurate statement.
Anyways, it sounds strangely as if Frontier Developments wants to basically have god-like powers and just use collected data to influence players to go to areas they believe would be interesting to them and not us. I mean, I want to see how my decisions and others would impact how the galaxy evolves; hell every little ship matters you know!
At this point I'm not entirely sure what Elite wants to be, its like its torn between its roots and unsure as to what it wants to eventually become.

The big difference? The DEV's have purpose, and a vested interest. They want to keep the game enjoyable for every one. Let's just say for arguments sake, I am the lowest common denominator, (even though when I left Eve I did have possession of (3) Titans, and (2) Super carriers, and was a loyal card carrying member of PL) Why shouldn't I have fun too? I would prefer you just not be involved. If we sat down to play chess? I would beat you every single time, you wouldn't stand the slightest chance to win. Wouldn't be much fun for you Eh? You would be the lowest common denominator in this case. Would you be a moron? Probably not, just not as good as I am, that's all.
I would very much like it if this game stayed about "the Sifi of living in a galaxy", "Discovery" and Adventure. and not have it evolve into something that's more about war and conflict, and stupid political struggles, (I get more of that then I can handle in real life). I don't want any player organization to be meaningful to anyone but maybe themselves. I also have no need of a Demigod player leader to get in his or her head that the game is all about them, and not the individual player.
I want the Dev's to make a great game for everyone, including the casual player, (or lowest common denominators in your words). I trust the dev's to do this. Not you. With all due respect.

I'd totally kick your ass at chess
But you see, the chess pieces you gotta make sure you grind away for a few hours so you can afford a few pawns, and maybe a bishop here and there. Just remember to work your way to a Queen so you can eventually win against other chess players! Remember, you can't trade pieces with others.
I too could kick your ass at chess.

Shame I can't rep you again yet.
This is not an argument for not having better player interaction. Saying that this has been discussed before is an easy cop out to dealing with the simple fact that unless something is done to actually make this game multiplayer then the longevity of this game will pale in comparison to EVE. EVE has been around for over 10 years and every year they have more active players than the last. You honestly think that if Elite ignores improved player interaction, that it will have anywhere near that kind of longevity?
I wouldn't be able to play currently if I hadn't joined a group, we create our own content and the comms jabber keeps me in lols.
I wont play a game if the multiplayer is garbage, and this one is an oddity for me, a sick curiosity for the future, and Frontier is very new to this multiplayer world, they are jumping into the deep end here, look at their history, they have no experience with how to multiplayer.
They want to, and that is great, multiplayer sells games. Word of mouth best advertising ever.
Its exciting, there are infinite possibilities for this game, but could indeed also end poorly, games are not a scare commodity these days.
The original remake is done, its now time to propel the game forward, take the feedback and work with it.

The player interaction requires plenty of TLC...but PVP for who? The verbose minocrity who want it? or the slumbering beast that doesn't?
you said pvp, not me mate.
EDIT: for the Record. I prefer co-op games, group pvp, or solo play, not duels or ganking.

Actually, EVE subscriber numbers have been on the decrease. CCP no longer publish these.
