This seems to be happening more recently. Reported by other corp mates and players in other corps as well. Just happened to me, jumped from Attalica to Hersh in Sequer, no modules running and black screen happens after jump. Was sitting at black screen for 5 mins, then closed client..

Happening to anyone else ?

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Getting the players is not the problem, it's keeping them.

Content, content, content...

You want the devs to make money and the game to grow ? Cater to the PVE people
You want more potential targets on beta/gamma ? Cater to the PVE people
You want more opportunities to grow your corp with new players ? Cater to the PVE people

PVE people need content, dynamic events, storyline missions/adventures more space to explore, different types of envirioments etc

As stated in this thread before, the DEVS catered soley to the PVP crowd and that, quite simply, failed. Let's hope a new direction can inject new life and new fun into this great game.

Just for the record, myself and my corp enjoy a bit of pew pew as much as the next guy, we just dont get all worked up about it.. epeen is for ***, real men just say GF..

Was talking with Zortarg last night and there are a couple of things that need updating in his guide, like the new player experience and some of the changes from the most recent patches. He is in the process of updating it.. He is a busy man so time is always in demand for him.

I dont think EP reset will be cheap guys.

Someone suggested its cost may also be directly related to quantity as well.


I think you guys are overreacting.

I'm tending to agree with Gunner on this.. We don't know for 100% certanity what the final costs will be do we ?
Lets just relax, have a cold beer and wait till we know more (I mean so that we know for sure )..

That was fast..  NIce work, glad we could help..  smile

The teleport solution is well done.. I remember before gamma when, on beta,  observers used to teleport through walls.. Boy did that cause some solied pants at the time..

Yeah it happened every time I undocked and always in the same co-ords. I didn't do anything different from what I can tell.. I created a new char and went to the tutorial island. Then just started working my way through the rookie checklist. It happened from the first undock, confused the hell outa me cause I was looking around for that switch and I was in the middle of nowhere  lol... Then I worked out I had to get back to the terminal, so off I went and that's the way it was throughout the entire chedcklist.

I'll create another new char and see if I can get happening again.. I'll get back to you..

Thought I would give the new user experience a try out.
First up, it looks fine it seems to provide all the fundamental information needed to get started. There is only 2 things I would mention.
1. Every time I undocked from the virtual training terminal it would place me at co-ord 266, 266 which is quite some distance from the terminal and on the coast. At first this confused the heck out me and in the end it was just annoying as I had to then leg it all the way back to the terminal to continue the rookie checklist.. New users will definitely be confused by this.
2. I agree with Jita on point 12, remind the user to switch their modules back on after jumping.

Apart from that it looks pretty good over all.. I'm sure that some more refinements can/will be made as new players actually use it and report back about it.

So call me old-fashioned.

lol.. I call you a youngster.. Those things were not around when I went to school, we had to use a pencil and paper and show our working out. We were lucky, it was just a few years before that they had a piece of chalk and a slate..  smile

In the early grades ( 1 to 4) we actually learnt math using little colored blocks of wood.
We also spent hours chanting maths tables.. Nowadays kids are too busy learning "Dance" or "Drama"

*sigh*

Hey Devs, can't log in tonight!.. Game has been getting progressively  worse (lag) over last week.. Mainly whilst accessing things like private storage or corp storage or a field can that sort of thing..

At the moment my screen is stuck on "connecting" and that's it.. Other corpies reporting same issues. Zort is reporting same issue from Germany..

[edit] Managed to log one char in although took a looooooong time.. Still waiting to log blocker in
[edit2] Blocker finally logged in.. Still major issues with server tho.. Takes forever to undock etc..
[edit3] Sorry can't play at all.. Trying to do anything is just painful. Switching to another game for tonight, check back tomorrow.

stuff...

what in another 2 years? what in 5 years?
new players will always be behind in these terms. the most wealth (more then 90% from the last info i had a while back) in eve is hold by a very few market tycoons. thats the way of a time based progression system. get good, learn how to make money, or stay a small bug. and believe me there are plenty of vets that stay small bugs in terms of money the whole time. just because they are not intrested in that kind of thing.

so what happens to the other 99,99% of the eve players? and the new players that join there all the time? cant they play the game because some other ppl have more money?

its simple. you work to get some stuff for you together and you can do it. one way or the other. ppl that dont do the work will not have it, vet or no vet. thats the difference. if someone plays that "game" better then you or has it played for longer then you will not be bale to catch up. just like in rl where a normal worker most likely will never ever have a chance to catch up to the guys with the big money (yes billions and more). and in this game they have better chances to catch up then they have in real life.

tldr: thats the nature of the game and always will be. and it will be the same for new players that in the years to come. or you have to reboot the server all few years/months.

Yeah well guess what Zortarg, once again you missed the entire point.  Read this post:

http://forums.perpetuum-online.com/topi … n-and-rad/

This is going to be death of the game, mark my words, I told you so.


See this is why people think so little of you Ville, Zortarg has done more for this game than most and I would class him as one of the games elder statesmen, and you can't even show enough respect to get his name right. I would even suggest that your use of his name is deliberately done to cause offense. It does not matter whether you agree with him or not, at least have the decency to show some respect for someone who has done more for this game than you ever will.

[Edit] I see it has been changed, my thanks for that.

Zoom:

I think this thread has run it's course.. It seems to have degenerated into accusations of exploiting and the introduction of topics that have nothing to do with the proposed gamma reset.

Perp has always had a time progression. Not sure if your argument that it will be a turn off to new players is valid.. EvE has a time progression system, doesn't seem to put off new players in that game. I think there are other things that would deter a new player from sticking with the game rather than time based progression.

Cassius sums it up pretty well..

Get to log in screen, log in and presents character selection, select character and loading bar comes up and then stops 3/4 way through. Then just sits there..

I'm guessing still server issues ?

I understand you rather ECM a terraforming enemy and let it stand there doing its thing instead of shooting it?

We have new players ??

If shoe was on other foot, would you want your enemy deleting assets?

I completely agree with you.  "Our side" has already been screwed out of huge quantities of loot on multiple occasions by this.

I say change it so its not possible to destroy anything in storage while terminal is reinforced.

I disagree, it's your stuff you should have the right to do whatever you like with it. Should not matter if terminal is reinforced or not. Once you start moving down that path where do you stop?

If you believe strongly that stuff should not be able to be deleted, then just don't delete your stuff. You still have that choice you know..
