EVE General Discussion

Considering you are the only one who is stomping feet about a short post of mine, it's more of an "easily bruised ego" reaction of yours. Pointless reaction that is, I did not even mean to bruise anything to begin with, the butthurt is all made and staying on your side.



I see you have reading comprehension challenges, maybe you should ponder why nobody else is finding anything to say, while you are reading baffles for waffles and throw a tantrum on that.

Is this one of those tie-breaker competion questions? Answer in 50 words or less.



EVE Online has a beautiful universe, but...

Shame about the face?

Confirming Tippia is Shadow Lord of the forums. I haven't been posting much because I need to update Jabber, haven't been getting my Tippia "post now" pings.

I mean, it couldn't be that most posted ideas (especially yours Shizuken) are crap that don't stand up to peer review and would have negative affects on the game if they ever saw the light of day or anything like that. Nope, it's all Tippia's fault.

Damn you Tippia for holding back the game!!!

Except that the losses come form two places, Advertising and RND. You would expect a loss if you are making a new game, i.e. EVR and WoD. And because you made ads for a new game , i.e. Dust. We will see what this year looks like when evr is out and if dust makes money. but off topic I am

I have to say that I don't really understand the need to make posts like this one. If one doesn't like the game, don't play it. Not everyone is going to like everything. But I really don't understand the thought behind some of the points.

1* What's boring about the ship physics? As of yet the only game I've ever seen that has "realistic" space ship physics has been the ancient Lunar Lander which if I recall came out for the Atari, with good old vector graphics. Any space combat game would be really tough to sell as a "game" if it used real space flight physics. Read a few of Alistair Reynolds books and one will get the idea of what realistic physics could possibly be. With that in mind though, one can still have fun with a game that's unrealistic. Super Mario was fun, and one doesn't get hung up by the fact that real people can't jump three times their own height (among other things).

2* Given that the game's focus is a space combat, I'm not sure what else one needs. Does an MMO really require you to be able to dance naked on mailboxes with your character? The game doesn't prevent you from conversing with the other people. How else do you need to interact with them?

3* PvE depends on what you want out of it. I feel EVE is more interesting than most MMOs since there is a wide variety of PvE activities to get up to, all with varying amounts of risk. For me, there's the challenge of how efficient I can get at PvE. How can you maximize your ISK return from it. How do you acquire load outs for ships that help maximize it? What is one's goal with PvE? Do you want faction standing? ISK? Loot? Materials for Manufacture? Its as interesting as you make it. As of yet there's been really no MMO that killing mobs has been that exciting. That brings us to...

4* Can one really say that orbiting with your ship is more boring than clicking on a mob and auto attacking until the computer mathematically determines the end of said combat? EVE has one thing that almost no other MMO does though, you have skin in this game. Its amazing how much that makes a difference. Especially the farther you get in the game, the more you risk. Only game ever where when one enters combat - especially PvP - one feels your heart get going.

5* EVE has by far the best economy of any MMO. Hands down. Its as real as it gets, its live. As of yet there is no MMO that has an economy and market that runs as well as EVE's. Don't expect to play the market in EVE and "have fun" unless you're already one of those people who has fun by such endeavors. What game has a better market that is more "fun"? What makes a market "fun"? To me its dynamics are interesting. EVE's economy adhere's the rules of supply and demand. That's a key to what makes it work. AFAIK, there are no other MMOs where you can create buy orders to stimulate activity. Think about what that enables you to do.

6* What personal skills affect how well you do in other games? In every other MMO, my character's "skill" level is simply affected by how much time I spend online. EVE's is different. You either like how it works or you don't. I personally like it. It means I'm not forced to be in game all the time to advance my character.

7* See above. Best thing about EVE. If I take a week off, I'm not now behind everyone. As of yet, EVE is the only MMO that really has as much content as you want to partake in, and you can rapidly shift from playing a lot - and joining others who do - to playing a little. I took two years off and when I returned, my ships were still good to go fight with. They weren't obsolete, and suddenly all my stuff is worthless like every other MMO. People still needed my stores of Tritanium, people still buy the Thrashers I make. There's activities I can do casually, stuff I can do intensely if I want. For a casual MMO player, what could be better? Its only a second job if you want it to be.

Double post. Six thumbs. Move along please.

No, its a game where a group of cult like douchebags go around ganking New players with developer blessings....

and where the most active players on the forums are all running scams

Its a great game... if you either Ignore everyone or like to be a dickhead

OP = Nutz

But I can't believe how many "Likes" he got... Bunch of losers...

5 years in an NPC corp have jaded you. The majority of my playtime is with fun and upstanding players.

It is true though, sc will be a care bear mmo, with pvp sliders and consensual only combat. It's a pity I was looking forward to it, but can't be arsed now.
