EVE General Discussion

As the OP said, I enjoy the tranquility of mining, broken up by the excitement of roams and full-out ops to cause tears among our enemies. It's made all the better because at the end of the day it's still just a game and both sides can (usually) find it in themselves to laugh it off and offer the other side the proverbial "gf".

I enjoy being a part of something bigger than myself where I can still see very directly the impact of my small actions on the larger whole. This is why the corp->alliance->coalition framework of EVE and the heavy emphasis on player-driven emergent gameply has always appealed to me over other games' organization and workflow.

For the forums, of course. Whether it's fighting, agreeing or just plain old trolling, the drama here is better than anything you'll find when logged into the spaceship part of the game.

Mr Epeen

I play for likes on the forum and dislikes in game.

Not sure how serious the OP really intended his topic to be but I will try to answer it with as little verbatim as I can.

I just don't know. I think for a while there I was being victimised by the investment fallacy. Playing the game because I had spent so long playing already and being scared of losing it. But that feeling passed. Today.. I logged on for the first time in a month and I haven't even undocked. I run no industry jobs, I'm in lowsec hostile space in a system with 2 people who historically have tried to kill me several times.

Let's be honest, I feel like I've run out of things to feel enthusiastic about in the game. Training newbies was painful because of how bad the game translates between known ideas and educating those ideas to others. PVP? Omfg it's so bad in this game. Choosing a given weapon type (HML) can leave you being arbitrarily penalised. Like honestly how did it even get so bad and why is it being neglected? Balance remains terrible. PVE is awful. There's no content for a solo player. You will probably run out of things to do solo within 1 year.

Shattered wormholes while an interesting premise and something I personally will invest time in later were created to debunk the power of huge groups. Like neutral/nomansland where fights don't happen in any kind of fortified system. And that's a whole other kettle of fish. I would expand on what I mean but.... you know why. It's just pointless. A kind of depression sets in when thinking about being the force of positive change and then knowing that trying is mostly a waste of time. Unless you work for CCP chances are nothing will be done.

I guess I still like EVE at a conceptual level but continuous years of neglect to basic parts of the game have just worn me down. I don't even want to play. I log on and do nothing because it's the same thing for 5 years. It's just so depressing.

I thought I had more to say but I guess I don't.

And man help me forge this game anew

and from the ashes Eve 2.0

FINALLY

MY MAN MY BRUH MY CUZZZ!!

Wusap My peep

Because it truly is an sci-fi life simulator.
Because it allows me to do things I can't elsewhere.
Because I can be in space like in any other game.
Because the EVE Universe is so incredibly amazing.
And much more!

I like EVE as it's a game that i can get better at whilst laying in bed or even just not playing it all!

It ticks all the right boxes for someone like me with a fast paced, non-stop rollercoaster of a lifestyle

This.

Kill them, kick them out, they are back tomorrow and the next lot comes along in the mean time. Success just breeds more trouble

- unless you are running around, holding nothing, using NPC stations and trying to mess with people as much as possible.

Rocks. Lots and lots of rocks.
