EVE General Discussion

Also, most of the comments in the OP are based on bullshit. "This is what I think of a game that I've never played" is not a reputation, it's an uninformed opinion at best, and misinformation at worst. And it's the same for all of those comments.

Lets compare EVE combat with something like a WWII flightsim like IL2 online.

Flightsim
Your flying a simulation of a WWII German fighter with a huge learning curve because it actually IS a simulation of a historically difficult aircraft to fly. You have banked into a tight turn and as you pull back on the force feed back stick to pull the plane even tighter the stick begins to shudder as you approach stall and the wing slats bang open. You slam the Hotas throttle forward for combat power and dial in more trim as suddenly tracer appears out of nowhere missing you by inches. Your head tracker works overtime as you swing your head back and forward looking for the enemy somewhere on your tail as your wingman squadmate screams at you over voice coms "try and bank left so I can get a shot at him" meanwhile your opponent finally gets in a good deflection shot and bits of your wing start peeling off and a steady stream of leaking fuel appears. panicking you kick the rudder pedals and flip inverted before pulling back in a split S barely clearing the ground before flipping up right and banking between two chimney stacks on a Russian factory. A collision will turn you into a fireball. Your opponent gets off another deflection shot and your engine splatters oil over your windscreen and develops a distinct grinding sound ....

EVE Online
Using drop down menus and the keyboard you lock the target and attempt to manually fly to keep your traversal up by clicking at a random spot in space. No need to worry about colliding with anything as you will just bounce off. A red bar appears on your target as you get into range and hit F1 but he gets a lock on you and red bars appear on your screen as well. Eventually one of you is destroyed and disappears.

This single person's complaint is the same reason other people play and his assessment is entirely subjective. Also, EvE is not alone in that players can screw each other over. There is griefing in every game. Therefore, this critique is moot. No justification has been given as to why EvE is any different.





This is not relevant to any productive conversation. It's just one bitter person who most likely was dissatisfied when he/she made risky choices and paid the ultimate price.




The E1 incident was dealt with professionally. Anyone who thinks otherwise lacks an understanding of the limited reach and uniformity of true justice. CCP had a decision of whether or not to ban someone for something documented by a 3rd party program. While part of the community that was outraged was asking for E1's head to be delivered on a spike, the rest of us considered how dangerous it would be if CCP decided to chuck the ban hammer at anyone who pissed off the community. Ultimately, E1 was banned and anyone who left because of CCP's slow response never understood the fundamental principles of EvE in the first place. CCP did an outstanding job of being calm and collected when passing judgment. Those are qualities much more preferable in practice compared to handing out swift death to anyone who becomes infamous.




I can not defend the actions of someone who says something that awful. However, considering that I have never heard of this before and no link has been provided for proof, I can not address the hypothetical of a major alliance leader saying something of that sort. If this was actually done and CCP followed it up with a 30 day suspension, then I would not consider it a total failure as the quoted person seems to believe.

Players who spend most of their time in a massive multiplayer online game fighting computer generated opponents do not have the grounds to complain about player interaction. The game was designed to create conflict between players. Interaction between players is also what keeps the game vibrant and alive. It is only a minority of PvE players who are vilified because they do not contribute to the longevity of the game.



Again, this is someone who just sounds bitter. This quote does not contribute to any meaningful discussion.

Why the **** would a boar have gold!?!!?! Why?!?!? Why does no one ask these questions!??!?!

People say the fluid physics in eve is ******* immersion breaking.. but not 1 damn person in WoW complains about broken immersion when a wild boar drops a ******* demon sword!!!!!

Now, let's see...

Here's someone talking about EVE who has never played the game, who says he will never play it and yet seems to believe he knows it all. The internet is crowded with such people and anyone listening to them is to blame themselves.


Here's an "article" from someone who could have been the guy from your first quote. I would bet he didn't take the time to actually listen to the soundcloud file. And if I told you what I think about what happened later, I probably would get in trouble with the mods.


If this former player is who I think he is, this quote would be quite ironic. Because the player in question tried to intimidate other players with not very veiled RL threats.


As far as he knows, nothing more was done... Well, if you google the incident in question you will learn that a lot more was done. And it wasn't a 30 day suspension from the CSM btw, but a temp ban from EVE (and more). So obviously the guy writing that steam review doesn't know much.


EVE is not for everyone.
In almost all other MMOs the player gets to be the hero, simply by following the storyline. And in the end - although it makes no sense - you will have hundreds or thousands of chosen ones. EVE is different. In EVE you have to work to be a hero (or villain). You gave to earn your reputation. And if you have it, you have to live with it and deal with the consequences. That's what brought me here.

The cruel nature of various posters responses clearly indicate the continue sociopathic and disgusting behavior that CCP allow to continue in EVE. I have no doubts that many of you like playing this game because you like taking all your negativity out on others in a game. Does that make you feel like a man?

I swear I am about done! The negative reputation this game gets from all sources is well deserved.

It certainly happened, what the OP got wrong is that the alliance leader in question got a 30 day suspension from the game, not the CSM.

OP also forgot to mention that he was removed from his position on the then current CSM, and barred from the position he was due to fill in the next CSM. He also apologised to the player in question and paid a substantial amount of ingame restitution to that player.

What would it take for you to be completely done?

Can I have your stuff?

*Scratch that comment*

Idk what to make of this...
