This looks like the “How to artificially inflate your subscriber numbers” Guide for Dummies. Otherwise also known as the “How to make sure your new game fails to launch successfully” Guide.

can't launcher no longer launches. Fix that first.

I would like to jump in, but anti cheat is kicking me out because I am gaming on my steam deck (linux)

I really enjoyed Eve Online but the high price put me off, I don't have the type of money to buy 12 months at a time etc so was paying monthly which was costly.

Not to mention anyone can destroy and steal your stuff which I understand is part of the gameplay mechanics but as a player it put me off. After all these years nothing will change in that regard and that's fine, its their game but for me if it was lower priced with some super secure systems where you can't get robbed blind I would probably go back. But not as it is right now.

CCP forever trying to spend money somewhere else instead of reinvesting it into EVE. joke devs these days.

at this point they refuse to bring back DUST 514. such a disappointment

I tried Eve and Vanguard for some weeks and it's just a sad experience. You don't even care about customer service - had several bug's on my first day playing - wrote support, waited a month with Omega, to me that is a payed sub... for that money I do not get support within a week or two? I uninstalled the game, got the feeling of getting scammed. Like i get Eve is your money cow. But maybe, just maybe TREAT YOUR PLAYERBASE BETTER. And releasing a buggy First Player Shooter. wich sucked so hard in beta i don't have the words for the sheer hubris to even present something like this - wow. While there is a griefer and massive BOT problem in your base game - wich you know. But why should you care, right? They all pay for Omega. The ONLY thing that made Eve a good Experience were the people and maybe the concept/ setting. BUT I can meet good people in better games with no Omega and no Cashgrab-mentality. Also take a look at X4 if you ever feel you want to start working on your space game again (or even Warframe). ^^ Like WTF - this is all so barebones for the time it's out and so P2W. (ALSO the weirdness of the bugs: one was the tutorial vid from the AIR Career wich just kept playing after i closed it, or Missions not updating for weeks after I finished them, but the weirdest was that the VANGUARD Voice chat was still running after closing the game......fr, how?)

Getting scared of certain competition?

Are you nuts? You have to LOWER the barrier to entry for new players and not INCREASE it by requiring expensive monthly subscription just to test some game in alpha state for 3 days

Make it free to play and build it into Eve online instead and make it part of Eve online ?

Just make sure that high sec is high sec and pvp zones is from 0.2 to -1, so miners are left alone and then make the all the rare ore´s avaible in high sec aswell !

But It could be cool to fight for one of the side´s as a Soldier in FPS ..
But like in every other fps game, it will be swarmed with cheaters in no time

Dust514 was free to play, I like that game better than Eve online, because what i missed in Eve online was to be able to respawn like in Dust 514 without losing your imprints or skills on it !

You could respawn in Dust 514 10000000 times without the need to worry about a clone or some other stuff you need to protect your progression with !

That is the downside of Eve online, it is to complex and people hate losing implants and skills ... I rather want NPC bosses to have a chance to drop thous rare implants instead or through a blueprint, but it should be permanent added to your Avatar !

It could be cool if your Avatar from Eve Online could jump into a battlesuit without the risk of loosing your stuff on it .. but be able to battle freely in Eve Vanguard and expand the empire that way ? i mean the options is many but CCP DONT LISTEN !

And that is anoying ...

The game is so old that it should be 100% free to play and only earn money from players that dont want to grind the game and want a shortcut with real money !

But it should never be a pay to win ... wich it is in this case because you can use money to buy SP with and that is the biggest mistake CCP has ever done to this game, it should be with SK instead and not real money !

Are you seriously? Do you want me to pay money to play this for free? It's better to burn the stove with money than to spend it on this game. Is this the fourth alpha test? I'm right? Show me your work! What is this? Where is the game?

Where is the game? Two machine guns and a third with a shovel? Is this a tree planting simulator? Why am I standing with a stick and poking it into the ground? Doesn't look like a shooter at all. It's more like a farm. Where is the barn with the pigs?

It felt like you started with Eve Online and then asked yourselves how to translate that into an FPS. The end result felt like an uninspired FPS with oversized/oversimplified maps to fight on and an unnecessary crafting system that no one who plays FPS games would be interested in using because it interrupts the action with tedium.

You have to keep in mind that the people who play Eve Online aren't necessarily the same people who enjoy playing Battlefield. In fact, I'd wager most aren't. You have to create Vanguard for people who don't care about spreadsheets-in-space. Instead, start by making a simple, fun, competitive FPS first and foremost. Ditch the huge, barren, samey-same looking crash site maps. It will never be a Battlefield clone. Make the game play more like an eSports game with smaller, more intricate and well-thought-out tactical maps. Once you have something that's fun and can stand on its own for fans of the FPS genre, then bring the Eve stuff into it as an underlying theme.

An extraction shooter with a monthly subscription. Its a bold move
