EVE General Discussion

I kind of agree with OP, but I don't particularly mind. What there is, is pretty to look at, and the models that do exist look good. I prefer this over wildly over-the-top fantasy fair of colors and shapes. The variety is, as other people have pointed out, in the interactions with others and heck... even ship fittings can get really crazy

Eve is a 'doing' game.

Try it; and you may well find yourself becoming immersed in New Eden.

Being honest bud if you feel this way....Can I have your stuff?


Also moving pictures are pretty ship spinning is great...skill queues are nice but do try clicking the undock button and flying in The "Black of space"

Sounds like you are playing solo and expecting PvE to entertain you. That's not the way to play eve and have fun.

variety?
- there are literary hundreds of ships in EVE, each of which can be fitted in at least few, often more then few ways - basically there are more combinations of things you can fly then you will ever be able to try, let alone learn to love and use; if you consider play in small team, you pretty much have infinite number of combinations*
*: sure, there are standard fits and there are fits that suck and ships that are outright bad (but devs are working on it), but even if you consider just standard T1 frigate fits, you have dozens of fits to choose from, hundreds of combinations if you take 3 men frig team and that is just tip of iceberg

so when you look at variety, EVE is at least order of magnitude above your typical MMO (with cca 10 classes and 2-3 specs per class); hell, after cca 2 years of (casual) EVE play, I am unable to name all EVE ships and am (very) far away from knowing typical fittings for each of them, also I yet have to see every EVE ship in space :)

then consider different approaches to playing eve and things you can do: manufacturing, highsec mining, lowsec mining, highsec exploration, lowsec exploration, faction warfare, 0.0 warfare, highsec warfare, lowsec warefare, wh warfare, industry etc. etc.... and all of these pretty much have different approaches and playstyles (sure, some are similar, but many are not - for example you will not play highsec exploration the same way as lowsec one and 0.0 will add additional tricks, wh space will add different ones..., same goes for many other things)

as for graphics, well... you shouldn't be really playing any MMO for graphics; imo EVE is not that bad in that part - you have shiny space, less shiny space, more shiny space, shiny space in different colors, even some different pretty shines in wormhole space, you have stations and stuff in different thematics for different races and stuff...

also as others said... did you try actually playing the game? :)

I founded the corp I'm currently in, a few months back definately within 6 months, we're part of a larger gaming community and we all have immense differences in likes/dislikes/personalities so we didn't know where to go that would please everyone. Within that time we were a High-sec mining corp, missioning corp, exploring corp, we owned a c3 wormhole and did alright running it had a cloudy white skybox we had plenty of pvp going to, moved out of the wormhole joined a null sec alliance and hung around there for a little bit, and now we play around here and there in low sec while hanging out in various places.

I'll agree some things look similar and it might feel like your doing the same thing with a different skin but I guess that's at the shallow base of the game it can be mining/harvesting, but get into the deeper parts, check out incursions, check out lowsec, I can speak from personal experience when I say Wormholes are a completely different animal and it's a beast that will chew you up and spit you out if you don't take it by the horns, and tell it to "STFU and sit down, or else it won't get it's Scooby snack."

I didn't even think about it till I saw someone doing it, one guy was just a market trader he would watch the markets and would buy/sell stuff for profit, he made billions within a matter of weeks. lol.

When you look at a product in comparison to other products it's called being an educated consumer. I cant imagine how ******* terrible every product on every market would be if people didn't. It's actually dizzying that you're serious.
