We have crossed the Rubicon, and apparently there is no going back. To when EVE actually worked and the sounds of engines going to warp and out of warp couldn't crash the server when 1200 players were all using drone assist and someone landed.

Seriously.

Fix,

The,

Game.

I love the new ships. But the graphical glitches in the new bubbles (they can turn into interesting triangles rather than rendering as spheres), persistent glitch with Amarr stations in null (which on jumping into station can look like they are snapped in half and drawn on a 45% plane), really annoying metallic whining sound when using ab, mwd, or warping, and general loss in performance in fleet battles is simply not acceptable.

Overall, lovely ship, massive step backwards in nullsec gameplay. It used to take 5,000 players to crash the server, now you don't even need half that. Welcome to the other side of the river

...now either fix the damn game so that night after night Australian TZ corps are not being forced to cancel roams and fun AGAIN because of YET ANOTHER failure in the server and/or code. Go on, surprize us. Make downtime variable each day, rather than prime time every day for AU tz.


This is meant to be a whole new era in EVE. Not just a new error.


Downtime is right in the middle of GMT day time and you dont see us complaining!

Guys ffs stop maoning they do their best and its up when its ready.

Maybe reduce everyone's skillpoints by 50,000 for complaining.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

All this moaning for the occasional 1hr downtime. I remember when DT was at least an hour, every time. You're all spoiled.



I remember that too.

But guess what, I've been paying for this game for the better part of 10 years now. I am sick of the rubbish and the lame excuses. Either make downtime variable, so EVERYONE gets to have their game play totally messed up, or cut the pay to play subscription nonsense for timezones who day, after, day, after day, every patch, can't actually play at all.

Enjoy EVE Downunder this weekend. While you are there try playing on Friday Night, or Saturday night. Oh wait ... YOU CAN'T.

Next time i recommend that you don't try install untested updates, as you can see here, they do cause problems.

Be a good sport and only install properly tested updates that don't brake things. Its not that hard to torture it until it brakes to see if it brakes things.

Seriously? Are you joking?

10PM-10:30PM is RIDICULOUS for the Australian players? Yes it's annoying, but It's got to happen sometime, and 10pm isn't exactly prime time for us.

Maybe, I don't know. Plan around it?

This. +1




We are Eve players, when we see an opportunity to exploit something to our advantage we make the most of it.
I'd put isk on the people you call whiners not really giving a **** if they get nothing, if I thought asking for recompense would net me a few thousand SP I'd do it too.


Did I strike a nerve? Wasn't trying to offend you personally mate, merely point out that the community is still the same old cesspool its always been. Relax, I know its just people trying to get something for nothing. We are talking about EVE players after all. =-)~
