EVE General Discussion

you're boring and sucky. Doesn't feel good does it!

Of course they would, it's called a habit.

I kind of agree. If EVE wasn't an MMO it would be a terrible game.

There's nothing interesting in space. It would be nice if CCP hired someone to put in some new and interesting content to make the world of EVE feel more alive. For example, spacial phenomenon, danger from asteroids and radiation, NPC battling each other, etc

…and that is why CCP isn't going for it.

No. Balance gives you more unpredictability in what you'll encounter, which translates into more risk.

No, we don't.

Those.

The same could be said for watching paint dry...

Well a better idea would be to add more dynamic content.
Such as use the old Incursion code but have it made of various pirates and last maybe 2 hours.
Suddenly you have planetary attacks at random that you can go fight in.
Not a lot but it can definitely bring some fun back.

If you want to be stuck in some fixed class, grind quests, and have your game content spoon fed then go play anything but Eve. You wont find a game that allows you to actually do what you want to do like in Eve. You obviously just dont like MMOs then and arent going to be happy anywhere.

I've been playing EVE since 2004, obviously with some on times and off times. It never ceases to amaze me how no matter what year we may be in there are harbingers of doom spouting off about how the game is "unfair", "broken", "dying and/or already dead", "boring", etc......

But yet, here we all are still. Granted not everyone has been around since the first few years but I can tell you that I remember very clearly when it was big news that we had 10,000 players logged in concurrently for the first time. Most normal weekday evenings during east coast USA prime time, I saw an average of 5,000 to 6,000 tops.

Interesting that even though the game was "unfair", "broken", "dying and/or already dead", "boring", etc. since way back then, that now I see over 40,000 on the weekends and even 25,000 when most people should be sleeping. (It was during an "off time" of mine that the current record numbers were hit, so I don't feel the decline since then.)

Are there things wrong with the game? Of course there are! Nothing is perfect....(sorry kiddies for killing the tooth fairy but that's just a fact of the world). However, I haven't found any other game that piques my interest, or my intellect, as much as this game. What other games have you using Excel spreadsheets???

And as long as I'm all uncorked here, this ranting and raving about how "I should be able to do whatever I want in the game but other players don't have the same right' is REALLY getting annoying. This constant whine is not something that I remember being as prevalant before. Granted I do see that space is more dangerous now than it was years ago. But how cool is that??? How cool is it that at any time, any character can find themself caught up in a null sec Alliance initiative ("Ship"ageddon, Interdictions, etc.) I think it adds SO much flavor and immersion to the game.

So no one, well at least not me, buys the nonsense that anyone is rage quitting over a set-back. Your emotions wouldn't be so high in the first place if you didn't really care a lot about the game. Who gets upset about something they don't care for?? Enjoy the game for what it is. Play the game for what it is. See the obstacles in front of you as challenges and use your wits to outsmart those who would seek to destroy you. Live your character a little. Put yourself in there. That's why you're playing this type of game anyway isn't it?

I'm still a high sec carebear....maybe in the appropriate thread sometime I'll get into my brief null sec excursion....and I WELCOME the danger. It's exciting not knowing what's going to happen when I undock, and actually having to use my brain a little to plan out how I am going to accomplish a goal. It's aggravating how lazy some people are. It's not so different from real life. Successful people take what comes their way, don't expect to be spoon fed, and adapt....and everyone else.....well you know the rest.

Sorry if a bit off topic, but I couldn't hold it in anymore.

End rant.

Which is pretty much what EVE does as well but just in a much more subtle,clever way.
