As an old EVE-player (retired), I must say it warms my heart to see Deklein region still live up to its old traditions of incredible stubbornness and wall-to-wall badassitude on occasion. Having stood my vigils at the VFK gate in the past, I had goo…
Yeah, well, EVE is what you make of it. That's the beauty of it. There are roleplay groups that try to capture the spirit of Webers books, and the game is open-ended enough to be able to make such a leap of imagination possible.
However, neither g…
Is it fail, though?
Or simply a different point of view? Remember that "many of the truths that we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view."
EVE is, at heart, built around the basic premise of player-to-player interaction. It is not bui…
I keep wondering, why does everyone want to tussle with the 600,000 pound gorilla of the industry (namely WoW)?
If a game manages to copy WoW, it still won't be the original experience, and will never do as well as Blizzards golden goose, yet ever…
I pre-ordered this as I was hoping to start playing the game after having tried the 21 day trail they let us try some weeks ago, but as soon as I saw Atari were involved I have since cancelled the title, I refuse to fill there pockets at all just an…
Heh, I've been following the Infinity: The Quest For Earth project for a few years now, from just before the launch of the first Infinity Combat Prototype, it's still a long way off but when it releases I'm pretty sure it'll be good competition for …
OMG! The mailman must've stolen your EVE-O box!
(Hint: If the boxes are sent to stores today, it's unlikely you'll get it in the mail today. At least over here, mail usually takes a day to arrive. Also, contacting the retailer by phone might be…
I love how you actually go backwards in time as your skill increases by that graph.
The learning cliff takes a bit of a wallclimber to mount, unless you can find a couple of friends on top to drop you a rope-ladder, or get a few friends below to …
But what is catching up, really? Does it mean you have exactly the same options as the 'uber guy who started from beta', from economy and industry to PVP and all the things in between?
Or is it the ability to compete on a basically level playing f…
I'd like to hear some suggestions as to how missions and mining could be revamped to be more entertaining / interesting?
I mean not to say it's impossible, but what would you do to change the current system?
Um, do you even know what she referred to in 'Mount & Blade combat'?
I can tell you she didn't mean WoW. Check this game out: www.taleworlds.com
Once you get the hang of that, then what she said will make more sense. And I assure you, nobod…
I have a new metaphor for this:
Asking "Is it too late to join EVE" is like asking "Is it too late for me to get a drivers license?"
After all, since other people already have had their drivers licenses and maybe even cars *gasp* for a long …
True, there are ways to compensate, and going solo frig vs. battleship usually means you're in trouble (there are also ways to get rid of drones etc). However, the basic idea is as I stated, and new players can find themselves in a position to defea…
I concur with the previous statement except:
Can-flippers are (mostly) not what I'd call a 'vet'. A veteran player doesn't bother can-flipping a newbie veldspar miner in high-sec, because a) it's no challenge at all, even if they decide to fight, …
They recently changed drones because medium drones were way too powerful against frigates, a change which I had been waiting for years already. Use light drones against frigates, those will do the job fast enough, if not as fast as you'd hope.
Per…
If you really want to start engaging in PVP as early as possible, or at least like to live with a bit of risk thrown in (as I assume from the fact that you went to 0.0 and low-sec deliberately), try joining a PVP corp that operates in the area. It m…
No, he's not that guy. I had the same feeling, so I took a peek in his posting history, and it's been mostly pro-EVE, or at least reasonably sane neutrality.
Okay, have a nice one, mate. Good luck with your MMO-travels.
I'll see you at Jumpgate Evolutions release, as I don't think I need to stop playing one MMO to try another one.
PS. As for the server cluster, it resides in London, hardly 120 hops …
Dammit, I think you might have just put your finger on the reason why my computer suffers random reboots when playing music or games. Have to look into that.
