EVE General Discussion

So much going for Eve Online, but quite a few really stupid and game breaking mechanics.
Top 7 things I hate about Eve Online:

1) Cyno's - many players gang up against single players. Instant movement of large super capital blobs across vast distances.
2) Stealth ships - the untouchable vehicle for cynos. Instant-locking-after-decloak stealth bombers.
3) Bumping - Many players gang up against single players. Doesn't even do damage.
4) HS Wars - Many players ganging up against single players.
5) Blind gates - Many players gang up against single players, who cannot see the other side of the gate.
6) POS POS's - What a pain. Single players cannot control these independent of the corp (many players).
7) Titans and Supers - DD ista-pop carrier. Motherships with insane ehp and damage compared to their carrier counterparts.

Eve Online is designed to the advantage of the largest aggressive blob by the very mechanics themselves. These 7 things make Eve Online awful, unless you can a) ALWAYS fly with the biggest blob or b) ALWAYS stay in HS and out of every war. CCP needs to immediately address the very overdue issues with more than just promises.

--------------- Eve Online: Protectors of Easy-Kill Mechanics ------------------
oh its an MMO, find a group, some say ..
[1] Find a large enough group that you can trust on your timezone to counter a cyno hotdrop of supers, and titans, and dreads from the surrounding region. This is Eve, so, yeah right. The response to cyno is major alliance bait op? Really. I am asking CCP to fix this so that a simple cyno doesn't require such extra-ordinary preparations.
[2] Stealth and cynos and insta-locks. I fly covert ops but this is definitely game-breaking. CCP, scrap the 0s target delay bonus already, and make regular cynos unfittable to ships with cloaks on them.
[3] Ship collisions should do damage. Projectiles do damage. Hybrid charges do damage. Bumping ships away from stations or stargates breaks the game. Single player moves a cruiser through HS, but can't burn back to stargate because a few frigates "bump" him. The frigates should be destroyed in the first "bump." Flies on the windshield, I say.
[4] An alliance in null sec should not have to keep a sizable detachment in HS to escort every alliance member around HS. HS Wars allow many HS based players to gang up on the few null sec members mulling around HS for various reasons.
[5] CCP: Invent the Gate scan probe: Equip every ship with an onboard gate scan probe system which sends a probe through a stargate to see the other side.
[6] The pos system is a laugh. Fix it already. There is no reason that any player should not be able to simply set down their own pos with minimal effort.
[7] DDs broke the game a long time ago, despite the fixes. Get rid of them already, CCP. Supers break the game because they can move so far, so easily, through enemy sov space no less and with impunity. Sov means nothing to supers, except to allow them to be built.

Multiplayer is nice when single players can actually play the game too. Blobplayer has always been resented due to the mechanics above becoming extremely "noticable."

One thing i hate about eve online.

People like you.

You started a thread about things you don't like about eve online. I just gave you what i dont like about eve you hypocritical ass

By design. Single player don't need anything of that scale. (Sidenote: If a single player actually NEED something of that kind, he know, how to make it happen.)


And? You can't own one without being in a corp (unless you're really-really stupid). So, none of your business.


EVE Online is a MULTIplayer game. Even more, Massively multiplayer game. If you have issues with the definition of a multiplayer - you've come to the wrong place.


Oh? And this says - who? Have you been on the other side of your rant? No? GTFO.

lemme guess....

you are in red alliance during the off hours when bulk of the alliance members and/or your corpies are away so you don't have lots of people online for backup/intel.

Solution, join a corp/alliance that fits your time schedule better.

Or take the good with the bad. been in corps/alliances not ideally suited to my time slot on a char. Some nights it was hide since lots of every other color excpet blue around. Other nights....kid in a candy store pve wise since a ghost town and raked in some isk.


hate gate camps that much, no intel on them (either your mates suck ass or not on)....welcome to Null Sec 101. Todays lesson:

make a 2nd account and have them scout your main when its s slow day for intel



550 mil to plex them....but they keep your main from getting shot down in 500 mil and higher ratting bs' on gate camps. either way....you are paying 500+ mil. Without the alt, you may pay out that 500 mil way more often. Pick your poison here really.

Moving from Features & Ideas Discussion to General Discussion.
