EVE General Discussion

Same situation w/ a friend of mine. Game crashed twice before he could finish character creation. He never came back. I think he dodged a bullet.

Plain and simple, eve is a social game.

It is a game that you can just sit down, and do stuff with friends in game or ones you know in real life. It's pace is set by you, it's victories are set by you. So why play eve? Cause you can play it your way. It is a social game.

Eve has it's flaws, but with the sheer level of changing and updates, it is getting very good and for the better. The tough part is integrating the new play with old veterans and opening it up more to having a stream of new players entering the fold.

I guess if you fit his ship stay at high sec you tank and he do dps i think he will like it. Some friends found that to. The got bored pretty fast in eve. So i`m alone again. I guess eve is not for every one most people want 24/7 adrenaline rush but i do not.

If he wants trill than this game is not his cup of tea. He wants a relaxes and very deep game play with allot of uhm "surprises" than this is the game. And he needs to love space or this will just not cut it.

A few answer and question will help to. My wife got she hates the game but she loves the marketing -_-" so yeah, you got my drift there? Now she do all the transaction (contracts and that kind of stuff) will i do the pve lp farmings and other stuff.

In EVE, you get to make the damsel's distress even more acute if you want to.

Or be the damsel and shoot the guy who thinks you need rescuing, that works too.

Your friend should play EVE because it's the most cutthroat, anarchistic political power play roller coaster out there! EVE favours the smart, the sneaky, the organised and the charismatic. It gives us a free universe to be who we want to be and the opportunity to learn about how we respond to the actions of others in a lawless society.

Eve teaches us about how humans respond in a dystopia where we all are invincible and primal desires such as greed and power are the aspirations of the masses, achieved through competing, forming uneasy alliances, subterfuge and economics.

Eve is an MMO unlike any other: a universe where the fittest survive and flourish. The meek must overcome their inhibitions to become strong, or forever be consigned to a life of servitude or exile.

p.s. This coffee is really good!

I think a lot of players still prefer a character rather than just a ship (which doesn't even stay constant), I generally prefer melee weapons in hand. Although you could say the ships are the armor, but the combat is all range, either short or long.

Although, I do tend to prefer sandbox type games, but these seem to be limited. Problem with a lot of MMO's (from my perspective) is they're going more and more theme park, so getting less attractive.

"He was after the most challenging prey of all...MAN"

Unfortunately, EVE has a well-earned reputation as a place where only unscrupulous gankers have a hope to succeed, and no one is eager to run in here and be victimized by people better equipped with nothing better to do than to brutalize and rob them for lulz. That's the nature of "enlightened self interest" or what gankers like to call "risk aversity" (ROFL, that still slays me, risk aversity, someone's brain was on overtime to dream that one up.)

Anyway. The other two complaints are it's believed to be a "spreadsheet" game, which is really few people's idea of fun, and to crown the cupcake, it's "boring." I've heard all three of these, however, where the last two used to be the only reasons, now the first one has taken a tremendous lead - I'm not paying to be someone else's whipping boy.

CCP seems to be fine with its income, so it's doubtful their leaning toward a thin minority's LOUD screeching about so-called PvP (but actually ganking) will ever be changed. Therefore the set of reasons "most" people avoid this game will remain the same. Eventually, however, the fact its software is antiquated is going to pick up steam - pardon the pun.

This isn't so difficult to understand, is it - I know the gankers have it in their interest to claim it IS, but we all (being HONEST about it) know better.

May the spew begin.

There are other games like EVE? Wait, someone told me EVE is real? Thought it was CCP tbh.

Doesn't sound like he actually likes games like EVE does it?

I've asked myself that a couple of times since I've been playing Fallout 4... and to be honest I couldn't come up with an answer
