EVE General Discussion

MFW people actually think a ship type or skill set is the endgame

EvE is not Morrowind... It's an MMO, there is no End-Game except for maybe completing every epic arc in the game and experiences every type of gameplay functionality.

EvE is a sandbox, the game experience is literally what you as a person are psychologically capable of making it.

also the Mitt barely even logs in to eve anymore.

Fun is the end game, and where the fun is changes with the years.

Myself, after 8 years, still like cruiser and frig sized hulls the best.

Oh I totally agree with this, I was simply speaking in more general terms of overall game play that might draw a old timers attention away from cap ships.

I think that there is room in the game for T2 and even T3 versions of most every ship class in the game. I simply don't want them to center around simply being tougher and having heavier firepower. I believe they would be better served to put more of a focus on versatility or unique abilities.

I don't want to see 1000 rifters beat 100 supers.

I would be sad if this game became no more than managing a skill que. Actually I would just find something else. to do. I came to that on a lot of the old text MMOs where the game really was stats and if you had collected enough you basically won. The thing is there are lots of dynamics in eve that have next to nothing to do with your character sheet skills. If I was you? Take what you already have 'perfect' skills in and experiment with using it. Come up with applications nobody else has. Figure you can afford a lot of hulls and there are no game mechanic skills to impede your performance so really it comes down to what you can do as a pilot. Pick something fun FFS.

CCP, with its new Crucible patch, has utterly ruined the end-game, aka Supercapitals. I know, the whiners are already screaming, "EvE doesn't have an end-game." Bullocks.

I've played this game for 5+ years, and the vast majority of "bittervets" I know own caps and own supercaps, or want super caps. No one has the long term "goal" of being a Battleship jocky/cannon fodder. At least, no one who will play EvE long-term.

The nubs who fly Dreaks in Level III missions come and go. They don't contribute much to industry, they don't contribute much to the politics of EvE, and they don't contribute much as FC or any of the other roles that keep the "sandbox" of EvE running.

I don't give much of a **** about what happens to my own super. For one thing, I bought it with Plex, and I have an almost unlimited amount of Plex in my RL bank account (Imagine about 10 of your parent's houses). Furthermore, being extremely busy in RL, I have not had time to log into EvE for any reason other than to change skills. So, as for my supercap, let it burn, let it die, let it rot in space. I will either Plex for another one, or fly a 'Nado, which looks more fun anyways.

But I am the Anti-Mittani.* Unlike him and his dark Horde, I do not want to see New Eden burn. I don't want to see 1000 rifters beat 100 supers. I don't want to see online player numbers drop and drop and drop. I don't want this game to go in the direction of SWG -- which died a horrible, twisted death when the Devs tried to appeal to the masses and the kiddies and the nubtards.

I was on the Something Awful forums long, LONG before The Mittani. I saw the first skirmishes between SA, 4chan, THWF, Gen May, and others. I understand their goals and motivations. And I loath them.

Come at me, bro.

TL;DL -- EvE is not a fun game; crying about my super; my tears, they fuel you. My tears, best tears.




*OTOH, perhaps he is right. EvE is not a fun game.
