EVE General Discussion

Mind your step. Floor has been polished. If you accidentally your knee and attempt to file a lawsuit ... I will just skip the advert you star in.

On a serious note, I have cleaned the thread of all non-relevant posts/content. Please try stay on topic and post constructive replies.

I know it is difficult, but remember that we all had to start somewhere.

Also, I won EVE.

I agree... nullsec has some major problems at the moment... Sov Mechanics are extremely Coallition Oriented, and unless its under the protection of some big entity, a small entity has NO CHANCE at taking and holding sov....


You need to stop sucking and learn to PvP.... FW is cheesy... as it rewards orbiting a button and running away rather than actual PvP... Also, Offgrid boosters are a MAJOR problem there.....



There's good PvP to be had... although most of it seems to be in the FW arena at the moment...


Even if all of eve gains a 1b isk bounty on them tomorrow.... what will this really stop you from doing?? How will this really hurt the game?? It wont... it will just encourage more pewpew.... And have a bounty... get in a ship and go lose it to shed your bounty... I bet you can have fun doing it!

When your accounts expire... can I have your stuff???

Bittervet is bitter. That's what the OP sounds to me.

Everyone who's playing EVE intense for a couple of years should understand what kind of game you are playing and how such a game works. EVE is MMORP(S)G. I repeat in full words: Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplay (Sandbox) Game. What does this mean? Well. Very simple. That it's highly dynamic, controlled by thousands of players playing it differently and due to it's social and economical concept very close - sometimes too close - to RL. You have to work to earn ISK to buy stuff to stay alive in the game. CCP defined rules and mechanics and they have to deal with the influence and feedback of the community. Some mechanics might be broken and need to be fixed. Sure. But in all of my 8 years I am playing EVE I never found anything in the game what made me such frustrated to start a big crybaby thread on the forums. I agree to some issues the OP mentioned but there's nothing I am not able to deal with. EVE needs patience in any case. If you are looking for a game you can master on your terms, EVE is the wrong place. People are still complaining about broken mechanics, blobs, imbalance, 24/7 hardcore nerds without a RL, ECM, ECM, ECM, no solo PvP anymore... the list is endless. Those people are just too lazy or not able to adapt and change. They want things work the simple way like a straight forward linear run in a Arcade game what you can master by finding the walkthrough pattern. EVE is not working like that and I am still surprised hat especially the old players still don't get it what type of game they are playing and why there's always a bigger fleet. CCP can't solve that for us. It's up to us to solve it. If you can't play in a group, if you can't afford to play expensive, if you don't have the better skills... don't complain at those ones who fly in a group, fly in expensive ships and beat you becaue they have the better skills or know how to master the grid. You get blobbed but you wanted that 1v1 so bad? Wrong game, mate. It's a MMORPG. And not a 2003 with a few thousands online only anymore. Deal with it. Period. You are annoyed by this afk cloaker? Learn to live with it and don't cry for probes finding a cloaky. In RL noone is fixing the problems for you. You might get support or help by others but finally you have to fix them. Just saying.

I had a blast in EVE so far. Null, w-space, low, a bit high, FW... I have faced a lot of fun and ****. I have an intense RL with wife, kids and friends. I have time to play EVE. Limited time. So I just focused on PvP with two accounts and sub-alts for asset- and cyno-logistics - what boosts the chance to survive on a fair level: not scared to engage small groups, flying through low and null easily, winning much, losing less - and I do not stress myself out by running EVE on 4+ accounts trying to make ISK to feed my PvP hunger. Spending my time in RL to make EUROS is hard enough. So I simply don't care about bearing and convert GTC into PLEX. ISK problem solved. If I have time some day to collect all my loot I have left behind or just sell my loot I move with my carrier all the time. I would have around 30 bil more. But I doubt that this will ever happen. I even have two years old officer stuff hard to sell on my terms. So what.

There's nothing broke in EVE what ruins my fun. If the new bounty system will drop massive bounty on me or someone is selling the killrights to someone who thinks he can kill me. I can't wait for the good fights. If CCP brings something new: I will adapt or ignore. I learned to survive in this game and I know how and when to PvP. I take the risk. I love the thrill. I still think that this game is the best game ever. Because it's different, a real adventure with a never ending challange. And btw: at a well skilled level I don't even care about skilling or missing a skill change for hours or days. It doesn't really matter anymore.

And last but not least I made over 4 billion with tier 5 cashout just by FW-PvP the last 3 months. Should I really complain?

No. Good hunting. Good job, CCP.

You / we / ccp - cant fix eve. thats why they are doing different game its called DUST. I think that CCP knows that eve is dying, they have all data about players.

So yeah..

That's 25 to 37 hours a week.

Assuming 7 hours of sleep a night, that's 21-31% of your waking hours per week.

A casual gamer you are not (it just seems you're trying hard to come across as a casual player).

Loving the heteronormative comments assuming that because he's a man he has to be the breadwinner of the family. Perhaps his wife/husband works 10 to 12 hours days, allowing him to stay home and raise the kids (a work-at-home-dad) and play some EVE when the kids are asleep.

Tell me how is it FW's fault for you and your buddies to suck so hard you lose 4 dessies against a merlin? I don't care how well his merlin is fitted but if you lose 4 dessies against a merlin you're the one absolutely doing it wrong.

Agree with most of OPs points, or at least the gist of it and the spirit of the argument. Although I feel points being left out and professions being forgotten, like manufacturing?

And I'm not of the opinion that EVE is broken or dying, just getting mature.

I see you missed out on Wormholes, maybe you should spend your last 8 months trying them out.
Also, for solo/small gang pvp, I hear FW can be good for that.
