EVE General Discussion

This. OP, it sounds like your corp is run by noobs. get out of that corp. Oh god dude, I've seen their losses. Your CEO spent most of his time on NPC corps, which makes me think he is either someone's alt, or someone who hasn't played in a very long time. There is the off chance that he might be a legitimate NPC dweller, but still......

Furthermore, 6 of the toons in corp are all most likely the same person.

Also, PVE is boring as hell. WH PVE is boring as hell. It is very lucrative, don't get me wrong, but it is boring. Join Brave Newbies or RvB. I've personally had a few run ins with both groups, and I had fun.

EvE is a PvP game. Player Vs Patience.

You need PATIENCE in every aspect, from skill learning to figuring out PI to sitting out war decs.

Obviously i'm posting on an alt, as these kinds of posts rile most of the griefers and Player vs Players..

But here's my take. Personally I don't play EVE for the Player Vs Player stuff. That is what other people do in the game. We have a corp of approx 6 people that play EvE loosely, meaning, we play when we want to play, and have several other games we equally enjoy.

Recently, we were wardecced just like the OP, and we had a corp meeting and decided to a) disband the corp and immediately recreate it, or, b) simply vanish for the duration of the DEC. We couldn't be assed to disband, too much cba involved. So we logged off our mains, and spied on the deccers. They knew us well, and there was approx 10 of them in our system at all times. To be fair we never heard of them before, or hadn't taken any notice of them.. anyway.. cut a long story short, we logged off for a week and played something else, and came back, and they had extended it, so we logged off for another week, and came back.. some had to log on to re queue skills, but we never gave them what they wanted. After the second week, they vanished and we came back. So really no skin off our nose, we just adapt. Also, we met up a few times during the weeks for beers and a laugh outside of the game, most likely when the deccers were still in pixel ships waiting for a non emergent corp to surface, whilst we enjoyed our steak and drinks in a beer garden.

Anyway I digress. Player Vs Patience. Patience is a virtue. EvE IS a PvP game after all... and dont be bullied in to Player Vs Player if that's not your game. Play the sandbox how you like, and have something on standby when EvE falls short of what you need. Everyone goes back to EvE, it has a charm, has it's flaws, but, has equal charm that makes it a great hobby.

Fly safe.

And the playerbase has made it boring.
Blue doughnut anyone?

I see where you are coming from OP and you are kinda right. If you are playing the game expecting the game to provide the depth, it's not gonna happen.

Think of it a book. You have the characters, the plot, and so you read the story and you either don't like the story or you are entertained by the story.

This is like most MMOs where there is a plot and your character makes up the characters in it. You play and follow along as a story unfolds before you. Slowly bringing you to the end game.

With EVE, it's different. You open this book and all you see are pages. Empty pages. There is no plot. The other characters are all other players. It's up to you to write your own story.

Think of the plot as being the depth that you speak of. Other games provide the depth but for EVE, the depth doesn't come from the game but rather from the players themselves.

Edit:



Nah you should've logged in and AFK'ed in station. Kinda like holding up a piece of meat in front of a hungry dog that's at the end of its leash.

well your in BoT so there is your problem

Find out what he's flying first - that way a lot of those friends (maybe all of them) can be in Griffins with appropriate racials. If you've got some Gal guys then add some Maulus with Scan Res scripts

yea the op kinda does have a point in his title. where he has clearly not done EVERYTHING in EVE. I pretty much have after 10 years and yea the create your own content thing is kinda dull now. it's very repetitive even in the end game. And the biggest lie about EVE i find now is the "ok build your own empire and take space thing" its a myth. not the build your alliance part. but defiantly the unwritten part where your alliance has to be big enough and have enough political weight to do anything part get a few kills and make a meagre income

Mainly because the truly powerful EVE alliances are actually NOT Eve alliance but rather multigame community's. That have resources far beyond what any EVE only alliance could dream off.


EVE is great a but it's by no means anything like it's trailers. In fact it's barely an internet spaceship game. beyond the kinda token fact the things we control kinda look spaceship like and the background has stars and the odd nebula. If you actually think about it we are kinda actually just playing a game very similar to things like WOW or LOL. we have choke points. Dungeons, healers, tanks, damage dealers. remote buffers A fast travel system.


There is actually very little spacey about the game play.
Personally my biggest grievance with the EVE game and the EVE trailers is that one shows fleets of all different ships brawling and in reality all we do is sit in giant gangs of 1 ship type and shoot a primary then another primary.

EVE is what it is but it's by no means what it claims to be in any of the trailers.
You may disagree but Honestly your kidding yourself if you think I am wrong because A. you have just not played as much EVE as I have or will and B. SHUTUP.

1. Define "spacey".
2. I have never seen a doctrine, ever, that consisted of one ship type. In fact, GSF's main fleet doctrine right now consists of more damned ship types than I have fingers.

4 years of trying to master one ship, still learning new tricks

@OP

As i perceive it: In eve, pve exists to provide fuel for pvp and in its turn pvp as a result provides sources for pve. This happens primarily from player to player interaction. Its a basic circle and you can only be part of it if you can get outside your comfort zone.

I'll agree with you that scripted content in eve is pretty boring. Realizing this is the first step to getting out there and creating your own content
