EVE General Discussion

Its less of a verbal explanation, and more of a kick to the groin.

"Ya, kind of like that"

Uhm i`m not going to tell my friends how to play this. I have try in the "normal way" belive me i try. The get so confuse. And the problem is, i know to many things so my info is way to big to tell them.

So what i do or what i have done. Is doing a lan party with internet. Let them come over and install eve, and even i start a new "trail". So i go try to pick all of them the same race so there is no "confusion" where some one is!

There i try to learn the basic. And playing all day long. "missions" just to get the feeling how the warp works ship and combat. This can take a while to get hang of it.

It works because the ask me TONS yes TONS of question. If i need to talk that in english or i need to type all that i think the are kicking my butt and the will never play this game. But know sins i have done this way, the are playing. You can try teamspeak. But to do it for them its easyer then telling or typing.

So this game have to many options, Yes its sandbox i know. But the overwheliming of options is just crazy. I think the need to limit it, so there is not that MASS OPTION for you. Unless the hit a box that say show all options. After the done all tuts the "show option will be auto enabled"

The problem is TEXT nobody whats to read TEXT in game. Aka 2003 yah ok ic why you need to read. But come on people put some money in TALKING.

I know for me its useless sins i know a thing of two in eve so if the going to change ad it or remove this will not effect my game play. But for like my son he wants to play it he know what i`m doing but when he first login he was like uhm dad???? He get a little confuse at his first mission. I think the best way is to make a NOOB ZONE

All trail account go there is a dead space no PK nothing. No high sp players can enter. Also all noobs are there and the can team up easy without traveling because the have no clue how to team up or how to travel. So this will clean up that problem. After the have done all the tut you can get them back in eve "spawn in there own starting race"

This is how i will do. If that was possible. I know bad english but he i want try to help.

This…

I read this quote to my husband and after multiple failed attempts to explain EVE, he finally gets it.
Still can't get him to play though. I'm the science geek in our relationship :)

Well i have never had to deal with this situation because i am blessed with lack of actual RL friends.... so yeah if i did i'd say something along the lines of:

* it is the only game [that i am aware of] that is actively promoted to Feth people off, lying, cheating, stealing, all the good things your mother warned you about, it is all here in the all-in-one-space-game.

* you can play dress ups. unfortunately there are no magic hats.......or stuff like that, but there are cybernetic arms and such.

* everything you do affects something or someone else, every action has a consequence, even if you don't realize at the time.

* if you are .....like me......and haven't got an interest in playing group games but like MMO's but don't play well with others [i prefer solo tbh, less mind feths] then you can play solo without much of a disadvantage, this type of playstyle is also promoted.

there are many things to discover, and if there isn't something for them, then i'd mention a list of other cool but unrelated to Eve "games" and what they can do etc.....

but i am blessed with no friends...

just how i like it.

This is easy.

I have no friends, so anyone who approaches me and asks me about it ...
... would just receive a **** you and my middle finger and that's how I explain it.

How do you explain EVE to friends?

I demonstrate by doing something like this

Austria.

This.

F

Eve is a sunset.

A technically explainable thing that while shared by many will be a unique experience to the individual.

Telling? No thanks, i want to keep my friends...
