EVE Evolved Extra: Revamping PvP in Inferno

Mar 26th 2012 12:01PM (Massively)
Actually it's 50 million for an alliance and 20 million for a corp with the 500000 for each player. This would make the cost of wardeccing an organization like goonswarm more than a billion and a half isk just to start a war. if you are a 2 man corp look out..

The Daily Grind: Do you expect a roleplaying server to be policed?

I don't expect it will be... but it would be great if non role play general chat was immediately snuffed.

EVE Evolved: Rebalancing EVE's ships

Mar 19th 2012 8:49AM (Massively)
it's way too early for me to be excited by this.. so far it's hype to me it's hype and may actually mean nothing. yes destroyers needed some attention .. but is anyone every really in a destroyer long enough to matter?

There are other ship things I think are more important and easier to fix... the primary one being insurance...

The Daily Grind: How many MMO betas are installed on your machine?

EVE Evolved: Five scams to avoid

@Omali lol, I wouldn't call it awe as much as exasperation and fatigue.

The Daily Grind: Should players get a vote on content?

Feb 27th 2012 10:48AM (Massively)
players already get two votes.. one by playing the game you rare voting for it's success. And by doing some content more than other content you vote for content. As far as boting to change a game.. I don;t think that should be standard.

The Daily Grind: Are you a fan of account-wide rewards?

Feb 24th 2012 11:11AM (Massively)
For the more part I'm not a fan. though I'm less bothered by heirloom items in wow than I am of rewards that take a great deal of effort to earn along with a title. I believe the fewer characters have a rewarded item the more valuable that item is to the general player base and to the individual who earns it. It makes me angry to see a level one with a title and reward I'm still struggling to earn after years of effort.

The Daily Grind: Do you take time off work to play games?

I took a day off for lich king to get a three day weekend when it was released.. but I probably will never do this again.

Rumor: Blizzard embracing F2P for unannounced game

@potaco " "Free-to-Play" is the future."

I hate to say it but from my experiance with it, I sincerely hope this is not the case. The main trouble is there is not really a good incentive for gaming concerns to spend a lot of dev time on things that don't pay.. as a result the games suffered flat earth syndrome. NP-Characters are cardboard and unsympathetic.. quests are hollow or do not develop a good story line. Much of the leveling tasks are grinding, repetitous, or unrewarding. Background is not developed in game for the players to experiance, instead they must read voluminous "history of the world" essays to get caught up. (note even blizzard, as they have released more items for sale, have let this slip - cinematics are not nearly as well done or as plentiful - and questing seems rushed - like the story is not important)

What you do see in F2P games is the items store... item stores are fantasticly well done when few glitches, they work like a charm and a full of all kinds of tempting items.. if only the rest of each game was as nicely and well thought out.

Rumor: Blizzard embracing F2P for unannounced game

@potaco ""Free to Play" does not mean "Pay to Win' in all circumstances. Are some games guilty of this? Absolutely!"

I'd argue that most F2P games are guilty of this. I cannot really dredge up a good example of one that has not fallen prey to the temptation.
