EVE General Discussion

I will not be surprised if some posts will be deleted from this forum. :) It is pretty common, but it ruins any respect to the company.

Lady, you are too green to claim "I love the game" - one month (since 2016/11/02 membership) is not enough to make up you mind about it and teach another ppl to love it, LOL

Some people invest so much time and effort into something they will stick with it even when it takes a big dump on them...

Yes I agree. We see that all the time here with people that complain and complain and yet they still give CCP money.

Harder to spot now since Ascension of course, but has been the same way for years.

The need for alts makes $15/month a lie.

no you can't have everything. for free,, now away and melt you silly little snowflake.

The 'essential components' to what game? Not EVE. EVE has all its essential components. Just because you think it could be better with more, doesn't mean it doesn't have everything it needs. If you want more, suggest it, but it has everything it needs, and then some, for endless hours of gameplay of many varieties. Don't make the mistake of trying to make EVE into another generic clone of anything else, because it can and should never be anything but EVE.

And I really don't know why I'm repeating myself here. I really shouldn't, you really should just read what I've already said, but EVE is as complete as it is incomplete due to the fact that it is - now pay attention this time - ALWAYS IN DEVELOPMENT. Constantly, non-stop, always getting new content, old content patched and repaired, constantly growing. So again, if you think of something that could be added, feel free to open a thread in the Features and Ideas subforum, and suggest it.[/quote]

The essential parts to any game. There is no immersion. Until 2010, we couldn't even actually play the "characters" we created. They were actually just character portraits with names. Nothing more. And even still, we just walk around a 50 cubic foot captain's quarters and hanger, not doing anything. A feature that is completely pointless and without purpose. A feature that's clearly been stuck in a very, very incomplete state. Second, let's use missions as examples. We talk to "NPCs" (which are not even in the game) that are dialogue windows with names. And they have full 3D models of the "NPCs" you can view; which makes it all more hilarious. Again, is there a purpose to this? No. Is there most certainly IS NOT. Are these the things you see in every other game that supposedly have NPCs to interact with? No. THE FACT THAT I HAVE TO SAY THAT IS SEVERELY PHUCKED UP. I have to point out the OBVIOUS to a guy who's sitting there, scratching his head, trying to figure out how in the hell I don't understand that the game constantly gets updated. Well NO SH*T! But have they created ANY of these essential components (if it still hasn't gone through your head) and are simply, comfortably adding new features as the game goes on? No. They tweak mechanics, they give us new ships. New in-game items. We still talk to character portraits. We've been walking around ONE, PHUCKING, ROOM! ONE, ROOM! For over 6 years?! One entire generation of video game consoles have gone by, and these people are unable to finish up and add in any actual content to a game that still plays like it's a cheap MMO from the 90s. And mind you, I can still name some MMOs from the 90s that probably had voiced NPCs. And say they did bring the game away from this incomplete state. If the quality of gameplay had risen up to an acceptable level, it would at least make more sense to have people pay a monthly fee for something that actually feels like it was built with quality and had an overall feel of prestige behind it. The only thing that exudes quality here, are the 3D models of in-game assets.

And going back to the character creation system... Hahaha... You know it's totally illogical for them to have released such a detailed, and ultimately STUNNING character creation system, yet again - have no real purpose to it. These things are all painfully obvious half-jobs. PAINFULLY OBVIOUS points in development that have been abruptly halted, and a development plan with no sense of direction. Development have clearly been discombobulated in terms of direction with half-baked ideas such as WiS and the character creation system.

If say, when they made Counter-Strike, they introduced a suture kit the CTs could buy to patch up other CTs, and it took 2 minutes to patch up your teammate, would that be a logical design choice? Considering the average match only lasts several minutes in a classic game of Counter-Strike?

Battlefield 3. Another great example of probably the most MENTALLY R3TARDED FPS ever to be conceived. EVER. I played for about 11 hours, and couldn't play another second as to not get brain cancer. This game has quite literally the most guns of any MP FPS I've ever seen. It has SUCH an attention to detail for firearms, it's unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. When I first saw the way weapon customization was handled, I was extremely excited. I'm all for customization, so it gets me very giddy. But when I realized the amount of time it took to unlock attachments, corresponding with the way the game played. My goddam jaw hit the floor. I couldn't believe how insanely, insanely idiotic this game was. It's no Counter-Strike. You're actually not running into enemy infantry very often, so you're not really getting many kills very often, naturally. Yet this game treats itself as if it's a military field simulation. And what's furthermore, the bullet-drop and actually bullet speed are just one giant question mark. Along with this entire disastrous excuse for a video game. When someone is moving PERPENDICULAR to you when they are about 50 meters away (not 500 meters or 1 kilometer away, but about 50 meter, or less), the bullet will actually not even meet the target when your sights are dead-set on them, center of mass, lined up perfectly. The way muzzle velocity was handled in that game is basically Star Wars laser bullets. So you have: A great attention to detail in weapons. An Extreme, REALISTIC EMPHASIS ON THOSE WEAPONS. And yet the actual PERFORMANCE of those weapons is TOTALLY UNREALISTIC and arcade-like. So there you have it. Extremely conflicting and polarizing design choices that are trying to work together, but obviously can't.

So with that in mind, does throwing in 5% of what WiS would ideally supposed to be, along with ambulation in general and character creation - and calling it a day - make sense?

One more time. EVE is always in development, always changing. It's as complete as it is incomplete. Pretty simple.

It is also a spaceship game. You have always had an avatar to play the game with, because your avatar has always been spaceships.

What need for alts? I have no need for alts. I have two, on the same account as my main, but I have no need for them. I have absolutely no trouble making friends. So when other people playing the game who aren't autistic, like me, claim you need alts to get anything done in this game. it boggles the mind. Why am I not the anti-social one around here, despite being actually autistic?

Laura Joffe Numeroff's and Felicia Bond's creation in a nutshell.

You'd think I would be anything but surprised with what I've seen. Everyday's a new one, I guess.
