Come on people, this is becoming simply ridiculous for Australian time zone players.

We have crossed the Rubicon, and apparently there is no going back. To when EVE actually worked and the sounds of engines going to warp and out of warp couldn't crash the server when 1200 players were all using drone assist and someone landed.

Seriously.

Fix,

The,

Game.

I love the new ships. But the graphical glitches in the new bubbles (they can turn into interesting triangles rather than rendering as spheres), persistent glitch with Amarr stations in null (which on jumping into station can look like they are snapped in half and drawn on a 45% plane), really annoying metallic whining sound when using ab, mwd, or warping, and general loss in performance in fleet battles is simply not acceptable.

Overall, lovely ship, massive step backwards in nullsec gameplay. It used to take 5,000 players to crash the server, now you don't even need half that. Welcome to the other side of the river

...now either fix the damn game so that night after night Australian TZ corps are not being forced to cancel roams and fun AGAIN because of YET ANOTHER failure in the server and/or code. Go on, surprize us. Make downtime variable each day, rather than prime time every day for AU tz.


This is meant to be a whole new era in EVE. Not just a new error.

All this moaning for the occasional 1hr downtime. I remember when DT was at least an hour, every time. You're all spoiled.

Greetings Capsuleers

Due to issues during downtime updates



I simply hope that one of the updates was to lessen the volume of the MWD sound and get the rest of the in-game sounds back to their "Normal" level.

The MWD noise plays havoc when your in a fleet and on TeamSpeak at the same time :(

starting to get the shakes i need my crack..errrr Eve Shocked

As I slipped my finger slowly inside her hole, I could immediately feel it getting wetter and wetter.

I took my finger back out and within seconds she was going down on me.

"I really need a new boat," I thought to myself.

We are Eve players, when we see an opportunity to exploit something to our advantage we make the most of it.
I'd put isk on the people you call whiners not really giving a **** if they get nothing, if I thought asking for recompense would net me a few thousand SP I'd do it too.

It always costs SOMEONE a great deal of ISK.

Today was your day to win the lottery in that category.
