EVE General Discussion

Pretty much this. I have no time to play EVE at the moment, let along dedicate the time needed to be an active members of a space holding alliance.

It was quite difficult to watch and listen to. Typically, I can't stand the videos with just music blasting, I like to hear the chatter, but that was miserable.

I know nothing about FC'ing, but shouldn't he be giving general orders to subordinate squadrons who then actually pick the target? Or for these battles does EVERYONE shoot the same poor sap? Because... if that's the case, that's too bad.

Wow that looks...boring.

What did the average pilot do during that battle? Orbit an anchor and shoot primary? It's that pretty much the MO of incursions?

I'll stick to small gang warfare.

Guild Wars 2 PvP is 1000 times better than the quality of EvE blobbing. Only saving grace in EvE are small roams.

EvE PvP is too long to setup, too long to find something to kill and that won't insta-cyno 800 supercaps.

No fun elements like personal positional tactics, no personal line of sight relevance, no subtle personal tricks (FCs do have theirs though).
No real collision detection bar some 1990 half broken "collision spheres" that only work some times. Plus ships stop like they are swimming in water. Nuff said.

EvE PvP can be played by damn clickers, the WORST in the PvP industry, who would lose to any competitive PvP game baddie.

I have played in 0.0 blobs, it was a snooze + lag fest. Only saving grace was our FC, when he'd finally get drunk and started singing then we'd do some epic deeds, but still within the obsolete PvP gameplay of EvE.

without miner how you construct ship you need for this?

you will know soon how mutch you pay for your new ship ... ore will be a lot expansive

for blob-haters.

I'm sure many have watched this but I still linked it out, pretty damn good small-scale pvp where skills matter

Man I hated DAoC PVP for some reason. I mean, I'd spend several minutes running with the zym and then get smoked by a pack of those floating vampire players - I forget what they were called. The only fun I was was playing one of those minotaur-headed characters - this was long ago and for a short time so I forget the names of everything. My ex was a hardcore DAoC vet who might still be playing it if they haven't shut out the lights yet. My bullhead dude's name was "Peoplefighter" and the casters used to run when they saw him coming. That was enjoyable yet I shortly left DAoC after that.

PVP with a beast spec hunter in WoW was enjoyable if not for the win, but for the sheer enjoyment of watching them getting chewed up while they tried to find your shadow-melded NE. I think they nerfed that, but have not been back since the end of 2007.


EvE PVP has the potential to be great, but only because I think this game has a hard-core following and so long as the FiS portion is not affected, there's no "gold ammo" or MT involved, CCP has the balls to try new stuff. Balls in MMO development is always a good thing so long as they don't end up on your chin.

Perhaps, you could realise that you can work with other people, without having someone else telling you what to do all the time. Perhaps you should go and find a game where everyone agrees with having only one style of game play - yours.

I can safely say I don't want to be part of that. Plus I have lived in null so im not talking from no experience.

It doesnt help when they call primaries I end up being the first one to die (CURSE YOU ALPHABET)
