I hope it can, but it probably never will. Not unless people actually start reporting that poo poo. And people can't relent. Goons & pubbies alike are like kids. You have to repeat yourself non-stop. Every time you hear the n word, you press that report button.

Yeah I tried that and nearly got purged for being too annoying about it. When you press the report button a lot (because there is a lot to report!) in a dictatorship, people eventually get tired of you. It got to the point where some of the mumble cops knew me by name.

It also got to the point where I'd press record every time the conversation got bad, and when I realized I was recording more often than not recording I decided eve is loving terrible and went somewhere else

It's been like 6 months so I guess it's possible theta has changed, but considering how intensely they were back-patting themselves over the cultural revolution even back when I was active, I doubt it. Theta is the only mumble channel I've ever been on that made me physically, actually, sick-to-my-stomach ill, when a vietnam veteran took two hours to tell stories about and justify himself for murdering children irl. He even had a song about it, one line of which is stuck in my head and I will probably never forget until I die.

na like in 2016-17 we were still playing eve and just doing a bit of pubg/rocket league/OW/whatever-fotm-game on the side, but now it's become "play other games regularly, and eve on the side"

this is precisely what happened to groon, until groon came to the realization that eve is garbage and the sub wasn't worth bothering with anymore

perhaps someday others will too

e: last i checked they were playing blood bowl, and having way the gently caress more fun with that than anyone has ever had in eve

If you're looking at "this RNG has a significant chance to completely gently caress you over and cause you to lose everything", the only way you can compare that to Diablo is back when playing inferno hardcore would randomly tee you up Invulnerable Minions + Vortex + Arcane + Jailer and you're hosed now, goodbye hero

That was not a popular feature in that game and was removed for a reason

Eve already has diablo-style loot rng, you can see this any time some shmuck does a 10/10 and gets overseer effects

Changing anomaly parameters in a fully-RNG way seems like the exact opposite of what an Eve pve grognard would want. OK this complex only allows up to battlecruisers, oh no the affixes are capacitor drain and explosive damage and the two random spawns are both webbers and I'm scrammed and my billion isk pve yacht is about to get loving dumpstered, thanks random affixes, see you next time

Incursions were supposed to introduce moderate pve RNG and the very first thing the players did was hammer out a precise uniform formula on what to bring every time so that they could eliminate their chance of losing ships

arent incursions basically the "active pve" you are asking for

we used to have incursions occasionally spawn in goonspace and for a long time unless you were in that specific small group it was pretty fuckin rare for anyone to even go near them unless they blocked a major jump bridge and then the directorate would yell at us to

the most common reason i remember for no one being interested in them was no one really had the right ships ready to go, and a random-affix pve situation in eve is going to mean that if you haven't invested the potentially large sums of money it would require to set yourself up right for that instance, you aint doing it

Falcon being all whiny about null being safer than high is some serious "grr goons are too good at this game" poo poo

It throws off the risk vs reward of the game. Nullsec space should never be safer than empire space, regardless of what the alliance that owns it does. It makes no in-lore sense that Delve has mineral composition like the virgin outer rim yet has more mining activity than any system in empire space. CCP should make the minerals in Delve only spawn Veldspar, and the Bloodraider rats should be restricted to frigates (because goons blew up all of their high bounty battleships). This would reflect the fact that Delve has become just as safe as The Forge.

then goons will move

more dynamic maybe, since it causes more regular change in the universe

more interesting? not if you're one of the people in the space goons hit, where your own lack of asset safety means you put nothing on the line which means it is fully impossible for you to stand a chance

it's easy for you to make these harebrained weirdo posts since you live in the backwater no one wants, though. that's your asset safety
