《星战前夜：克隆崛起》：我希望我们能在今年的活动中看到和听到的

新玩家体验

每年我们似乎都在谈论新的玩家体验。如何在新的一年里留住新球员?CCP的团队如何防止玩家留存?为了让新玩家更容易接触到它，我们做了些什么?

新的玩家体验对于让《星战前夜》在未来十年甚至更长的时间里运行至关重要。CCP如何在游戏中处理新玩家并让他们在基本教程之外开始游戏是一个似乎还没有成功的挑战。

今年6月，EVE Toronto打破了留存率，显示几乎90%的玩家在EVE注册后的头七天内就退出了。在一开始就需要一个新的印象来留住新的玩家，并通过新的玩家在新伊甸园中留下自己的印记来保持游戏的流动性。我想知道的是这个团队打算如何去做。

是不是因为简化了技能系统?在过去的16年里，技能系统已经变得非常庞大，对于任何一个不熟悉EVE复杂性的新手来说，这都是一项艰巨的任务。还是说，它更像是帮助新玩家找到方向，一旦训练轮脱落，真正走上成功之路?在这个周末的活动中与开发者交流，并向他们请教困扰了《星战前夜》很长一段时间的问题的解决方案，这将是一件很有趣的事情。

 

项目新星?

这可能是一个很长的机会，但去年维加斯在展会上给与会者的手与灰尘的继任者的时间。最初，另一次测试计划在下个月开始，但CCP突然取消了测试，称他们将与Nova一起从头开始。一年来，关于《星战前夜》中预期的FPS设定，CCP几乎没有透露任何信息，我们还能期待听到它的进展吗?虽然我不认为我们会听到更多的简短的玩笑，如果我们做了，这将是有趣的，看看新星在今年是否出现在拉斯维加斯大道上。

Permaband的未来

这更多的是个人的希望，但是随着CCP的守卫在今年早些时候离开CCP后回到EVE Vegas，我的梦想是我们开始看到CCP内部乐队的改革。我还记得2017年的EVE Fanfest，当时克里斯蒂安·奈恩(Kristian Nairn)是全球最受欢迎派对的主持人。虽然房间里挤满了人，但并没有坐满。当Permaband出现在舞台上时，你几乎不能移动到那里，这表明EVE社区对这个团体有多么的爱。

Every year, EVE Online fans descend upon Las Vegas to celebrate and discuss internet spaceships. Each year the event brings announcements and more to players eager to see what the future holds for CCP’s grand sandbox experiment. And after the year CCP has had with EVE Online, it’ll be interesting what the team has planned for the last EVE Vegas for the foreseeable future. Here’s what I’m hoping we’ll see and hear about at this year’s event.

Blackout information

Look, unless you find yourself addicted to EVE news or better yet, play the game, you likely don’t know what the Blackout was, nor its effect on EVE Online’s community this year. When EVE’s Blackout hit nullsec earlier this year, it put a lot of Nullsec veterans on edge, with many Alliances and players stating it fundamentally changed how surveillance and information gathering in those sectors of space. While the Blackout didn’t last as long as I initially, thought, it had a purpose: to inject a bit a chaos into New Eden.

CCP CEO Hilmar Pétursson told the player run “Talking in Stations” podcast that a “chaos era” was being ushered into EVE Online. Players had to deal with the new chaos in nullsec, which in turn came after the chaos of the Drifter attacks that took place earlier in the summer. I want to see more data showing exactly what CCP learned from the Blackout, whether or not it accomplished its goals and if we can expect to see more chaos crop up in the near future.

About those Drifters…

Speaking of the Drifter attacks in Nullsec earlier this year, will we see more as we move into the remainder of 2019 and into 2020? I’d definitely be interested to see and learn what CCP was trying to accomplish by forcing the hands of many of EVE’s great empires. Additionally, can we see these Drifter attacks come back up in greater force, but find them in lowsec, or even highsec hubs, such as Jita? Imagine NPC drifters that descend upon the trading hubs in Jita in such numbers that the security forces can’t keep up. With players in highsec already on guard thanks to player hunting parties who gank unsuspecting new players in what is typically considered the “safer” areas in EVE Online, the response from the players at the time would interesting to see, and maybe give players something to do when they don't want to mine, do a mission from the Agency or even try their hand at the current Triglavian invasion encounters currently going on in EVE.

This one might be a long shot, but last year EVE Vegas at the show gave attendees hands on time with the Dust successor. Originally another test was scheduled to begin the following month, but CCP abruptly cancelled the test, saying they were going back to the drawing board with Nova. After a year with little to no information coming out of CCP about the anticipated FPS set in the EVE Universe, could we expect to hear something about its progress again? While I don’t think we will hear more than a brief tease, if we do at all, it’ll be interesting to see if Nova surfaces at all on the Vegas Strip this year.
