EVE General Discussion

The EVE Litmus Test

Listen to it from start to finish, no breaks. If you still like it at the end, you are ready for a career in EVE Null Sec.

...and horror movies shouldn't be scary because someone might get scared.

..because it might offend aliens?

this is the only one I wish to address. *flashes his 10 year vet status*

I think I told you this before, and I am sure others have as well. EvE doesn't need 'pvp arenas' as they already have them.

You want to 1v1? challenge someone to a duel.

you want to 2+v2+ go to ls or find a quite 0.0 system or lord knows take 5 min and find yourself a wormhole.

You could also form a corp that people can join and leave at will to pvp.

What it seems to me you are asking for is a 'if I die doing this I get to keep my stuff' which then makes me ask you... why do you even play eve in the first place exactly?

To the op: eves reputation is its strongest advantage, and one of the reasons I have played this game for so long. Every other game seems lacking. Its like after you met the perfect woman or man, everyone else seems lacking in all aspects, and just just want that person you found.

That's eve. In a sea od bleached blonde idiots, eve is the smart red head across the room.

Ban the in game browser, this will solve all the problems CCPgames has atm with it's game and reputation.
It will remove stuff like pron links in fleet, and troll spam links in local. Applause CCPgames, you fixed eve.

On a serious note, If Ambulation was handled properly, we would have had more female gamers, and the "boys" would have had to adapt to 10-15% of eve's subs being female gamers, missed oppurtunity CCP, but nothing new here in the long history of New Eden

Return ICE back to its former glory so that new players have a infinite resource to draw from.

i'm interested in learning how ambulation would have lead to more women subscribers. also what kind of fleets are you even in where that happens

What kind of fleets are you in where that doesn't happen? I've never been in a 40+ player fleet without getting pronspammed. You my friend, are missing out on the best part of Eve. Some of that stuff is just gold...granted, some of it requires eyebleach afterward, but that's fairly rare.

I don't think anything needs to be done, our could be done.

You will never stop people from completely misrepresenting or misunderstanding what they have read. Case in point, that ludicrous fictional rendition of the Mittani event.

"Called out the guy by his real name"
"said during the livestream that he wanted the player to actually commit suicide irl, and the big bad leader was marshalling his ingame forces to "make it so"."

LOL!

You can't cure that type of ignorance, not as a game developer, parent, psychiatrist, or anything else. People will hear exactly what they expect to hear.

Which is rather sad, as the true events in the treacherous EVE universe are actually far more imaginative and interesting than the silly horror stories people that have never played the game like to pass around.

Still, enough truth leaks out via actual players (or gaming review sites, or the BBC) that EVE is still thriving after 11 years.

Yes, it's had it's ups and downs... but usually those ups came on the heels of something particularly spectacular and dastardly that has happened, an event that could not possibly happen in any other game.

So no, nothing to do... and nothing need be done. Any attempt to "improve the image of EVE" would likely do far more harm than good.

it's not so much a complaint about the internet, which has unlimited access to clips of GoT where jon snow is getting beat up, but the fact that eve is apparently made up of dads whose idea of eroticism is like, doing it in missionary position w the light on.
