EVE General Discussion

Whoa.

I maybe critical of CCP here and other game companies and their decisions, but isn't that a tad over the top?

Gamers are varied in their tastes. But those trying to get the best bang for the buck aren't at war with the publishers itself. I don't play or invest in games to watch with glee for them to fail. I want them to grow, and be something that can be enjoyed by all -- not power factions; not one play style; not some special interest. But for that guy who buys a game at Wal-Mart and starts anew.

If anyone entitled of anything is a great game.

PvE?? That's a themepark playstyle concept that doesn't exist neither makes any type of sense in a game like EvE Online. Exploration, like all other parts of the game, is a sandbox feature, not "PvE".

Either you like it or not, this game is all about player interaction, interaction that affects how other players play and interact with both the game and other players. What you do not get to do in the sandbox is decide who you will not interact with. You can choose to interact with player A, even if player A would rather not interact with you. They have little say in the matter. They can make an effort to avoid you, but that in itself is an act of interaction. You have forced them to recognize you, take heed of you. This is what makes the butterfly effect possible in EvE Online.

So embrace the sandbox, or go crawl back to your kindergarten themepark mmo-rpg where your single player experience dreams will be fulfilled.

Finding content is in itself content. Nice logic here.

Was coming here to say what baltec and the princes already said but also want to add that you seem to be reluctant to leave highsec. How can you call that exploration?

You should try moving to a new area, it happens that one a more aggressive move to the area where you are living. Several times i have tried that a "good" area over night turns extremely competitive, and i have found that it's the easiest to just move.

You can also try going to low-sec, it is a good place for exploration if you can fly a battlecruiser with medium or better skills. You can find low-sec areas where each gate i not hell camped.

Exploration is PvE until another guy shoots you over the loot, then it's called PvP.

1st: get out of there ASAP, find some low sec FW corp and start learning frigate fights, make tons of isk with FW lp's, eventually keep probing sites in low sec (yummy how much they drop)

2nd: new/noob/young player is not a problem in Eve, you're not stuck in to level grinding but skills and those if you do it right can offer you a great number of opportunities to have fun in Eve and quite fast actually without playing 24h a day.

You're just doing it wrong like most of us did at some point. Don't expect to find you uber corp immediately, this might take some time and tries but do it for your own fun in playing the game, high sec is the most boring place to be or do whatever.

Again another clueless themeparker post from the WoW expert, there is no such thing as "PvE" in this game, and shootings ships is not the "PvP" part of the game. EvE is not split in half like the simplistic kindergarten themepark mmo-rpg games you play.

After the login screen, every game system involves some form of player vs player competitive interaction. EvE Online is a sandbox mmo-rpg game, it's the last of it's kind, that's the secret of it's longevity. EvE Online will still be played 10 years from now.

I could war dec ya and make some content?...send me the war fee and I'll help ya out.
