EVE General Discussion

Good luck!

0/

Didn't go the way of Smell-O-Vision which sounds so much more awesome (wake up pron industry! You could use this!)

eve dosnt have an outdated model. pay long enough till you become self sustaining (PLEX) that is all. what else.. oh yes Dust intergration. and after all the rebalanceing fine tweeks and modual pos's and possable highsec player owned customes offices we may see INCARNA part 2 so we can actually go through that fabled door.

and eve has been improveing its grafics by leaps and bounds unlike other games (of which i shall not even mention)
hell even DX11 tesalation soon iirc and possably even 3d support. eve + 3D... clean up isle 3!

Yeah because everyone wants to play games on a tablet PC...

in my view, EVE online probably is one of those game that can be played on tablet without need to overhaul UI interface (no doubt, there will be huge behind scene change)

EVE online don't require you to have AWSD to move around. since touch screen suppose to replace mouse. In paper theory, EVE online is playable on touchscreen tablet. But will it perform better than keyboard/mouse is other story.

Oh man I've been hearing that PCs are dying since the mid 80s....


Remember back when gaming died in the 80s and had no future?




Oh and I really hope you built that PC yourself or you got hella ripped off.




5 years ago I built my current machine for a bit under $500. The only thing I've had to upgrade is the graphics card (old 9800gt died so switched to 5770). Even though I'm running an "ancient" machine I'm still able to play any game out there at reasonable frame rates at reasonable settings (1920x1200 and 1900x1200 monitors). Hell I'll run two eve clients while playing Tera or counterstrike on a dual core. That's how slow computer speeds have been advancing lately (CPU makers are out of easy ways to micronize stuff as they are almost down to the atomic level now). You buy a well built system today and I guarantee you that the only part you'll be upgrading in the next 5 years will be your graphics. There's just no reason to upgrade like there was back when Moore's law was in effect.

Nope. The PC will remain the premiere gaming platform for sophisticated games.

Tablets are way over-hyped by the media.

The reason that Eve is lagging is proper (or any?) regression testing of client patches and updates. A test server with random folks trying out new features is not even in the same ballpark as a structured regression test.

Tablets are not the "future".

Anyone that thinks so spends too much time sipping over-priced coffee and feeling smug about owning an iPad.

They are a market driver right now because idiots with more money than sense will vomit cash at Apple for whatever gee-gaw they bully component producers into making for them. Which in turn Apple pats itself on the back for "inventing", when they haven't invented ****, just put stuff currently on the market together in a thin white plastic shell.

Like lemmings to a cliff, other companies parrot Apple in some twisted version of a technological Chinese firedrill to suck up the remaining tidbits of cash from PBR drinking hipster fashion victims who are too cool and independent (read: unemployed) to own a Mac. These will buy the off-brand gee-gaw and feel equally as smug as the Apple douche.

The rest of us who either, want to get some real work done, or want to play a game without boogers, spittle, or whatever other organic effluvium covering the screen, will pay half the money, get twice the power, and the ability to feel smug about other things.

lets look at the history of the new technology

PCs
Laptops
Cell phones with web browsers and keyboards
larger cell phones with touch screens and cameras
small tablets with touchscreens with cameras and no phones
larger tablets with the above
larger tablets with fold out/snap on flexi keyboards

whats in store for the future?

Laptops
PCs

its a vicious circle, eve is fine where it is

You sound like you're desperately trying to make a point that no one really cares about.

Yes, technology changes. A lot has changed with computing over the last 20 years, but fundamentally, you're talking about very different things. Tablets are not designed for complex gaming, never have, never will. I agree that mobile and tablets are the wave of the future, but not in the context you're trying to put them in.
