EVE General Discussion

Except for those that embrace the concept. Remember, this is a boutique MMO. It is not meant to be mainstream and it will never aspire to be that. This game has a specific focus and will attract a specific type of gamer. The faster a player trying the game out learns what EVE is like, the better for them and for the EVE community as a whole.

Eve is a terrible game. It's the stuff you can do despite the gameplay, not the gameplay, that makes Eve awesome.

IDGI.

You're asserting that gameplay is bad because it involves mouse clicks and relatively few hotkeys? Remind me again of the wildly successful mmo where that wasn't the case. I'll wait.

In case this is just a veiled whine about being forced to camp gates or people camping said gates, you can always go to nullsec like a big boy and anchor some not-on-gate-pvp-inducing bubbles or proactively scan for your targets anywhere you want.

Sounds to me like you thirst for twitch gameplay that rewards reaction time and having loads of key binds. Might I recommend some FPS titles to you?

So, did you pass your internet class?

If you are referring to the sandbox and loss elements then yes I agree.







I think I would change that from "awesome" to "the best game available."

mby u should stop gatecamping m8

What you say is accurate as long as you differentiate between 'ganks' and 'fights'. The more people you have in a gang the more dumbed down the gameplay for the individual .. CCPs challenge is to make changes that discourage "oversize everything!" (ships/buffers/gangs/epeens) to ensure success in any venture.

The pre-planned module sequence you mention is barely noticeable in the small gang/solo fights as cap/ammo/vectors/heat/etc. all have to be adjusted on the fly to ensure success .. I say barely noticeable as it is still there, you generally want point before web (too many accidental insta-warps ), guns need priming etcetera but it is what people do after that first "cycle" that wins/loses fights.

That difference is why we in FW raged when CCPCSM said they want FW to be null-lite™, as it is currently the only place in Eve where the small is encouraged and thus the only place where one can consistently get to experience a less dumbed down version of Eve gameplay.

I love it how all the fanbois mindlessly jump on OP and not even try to refute what he said.

Activating modules and orbiting a target is what you call pvp? xD You guys are in denial. Yes, 90% of EVE's PvP is gatecamping. This system is boring and poorly thought out and I dont know why my sub is still active.. oh yes the industry part of the game. Thats the only thing I enjoy in EVE. EVE is not a PvP game. Its a game designed by carebears for carebears(like me so i cant complain too much i guess). I brought 3 irl friends to EVE and they all quit when they realized that EVE's pvp that looks so great in CCP's movies is simply : 1. press button (F1-F8) 2. wait for outcome.

A complete overhaul to EVE's PVP system is long overdue. Its simplicity of "press button; wait for outcome" might have been okay when it was in development 10 years ago, but not anymore.

That's pretty much it, what makes it interesting is the suicide ganking, can flipping, scams, espionage, politics and losses, if EVE just reverted to what every other MMORPG did and CCP cracked down on all this type of thing everyone would be yelling about how much it sucks even more than they are now and it would never get voted for on rankings.

Dam - no gates in Wormholes...

No wonder it's so empty out here...
