Can they 'borrow' any more ideas from eve ?
Seriously, the crafting is the same
Off line skilling
in fact everything to do with crafting or skilling looks like its been lifted straight from eve. I hate the offline skilling model - straight away they are alienating a large chunk of players who will never be able to catchup!
You sir are an idiot,now stop consuming oxygen,thank you.
Why is that AirStrike? Did I not make a valid point? Ok let's have a look at the 'features' Earthrise has in common with Eve shall we:
Highly customizable characters with over 100 different skills, abilities, and tactics. No artificial "class" restrictions get in the way of making the character you want.
Now where have I seen this before....?
* Sophisticated Player versus Player (PvP) mechanics that let you fight for the established order, join the revolutionary underground, or carve your own bloody path as an independent criminal.
It's EVE's pvp model right here, inclusing priates.
* Territorial conquest and defense that matters. In your domain, you create your own rules – or let anarchy reign.
Just like EVE's 0.0 player owned territory.
* Character progression that keeps you advancing in your career even when you’re not logged in.
EVEs Skill system right here.
* An advanced market-based economy with in-game supply and demand based on player activities.
Does EVE have this feature word for word? um yes.
* Deep crafting mechanics that let you design and manufacture unique items from customizable blueprints and raw resources.
Again - the research, the manufacturing, the blueprints and raw resources - where have I seen this before? Oh yes, EVE
----------------------------------------
So basically they are 'borrowing' a tried and tested game model and making it ground based instead of space based. A+ for originality. Personally I think a certian company should be suing for breaching IP.
And yes, a lot of new players are detered from starting EVE as they know they can never hold to catch up the existing players, hence the offline skilling system flaw - I hope this is addressed (limiting the skillpoints?)
