EVE ONLINE: Discuss

like the title said.

EVE ONLINE:

good, bad, ugly, the black sheep of the family, genius?

I think it's genius personally! Tell me why I'm wrong, or tell me why I'm right!

I love it. Eve online got a nice tutch. Played it 1 year ago and I still like it. but I stopt play it. but I hope more peoples will start soon

yeah I need to get back into it! I had to close my account cuz I had limited funds...but maybe I'll start it back up soon, who knows

It's awesome but I got bored of it after a while.... missions were repetetive and travelling took ages.

still, it's awesome. They'll soon update the enginge to modern standarts (not that it looks bad). Expect too see normal mapping and smart shader 3.0 goodness :O

I thought it was 10 times more interesting than a standard MMO....I think MMOs like WoW are just mindless....I felt like EVE actually engages you, y'know?

yeah, but it takes sometimse up to +2h to travel somewhere (and all u can do is to sit there and wait, drinking tea). eve is a game for the more patient gamers.

This is true....I'm the kinda guy that sits down and throws 10-20 hours into a SINGLE pewter miniature for a game like Warhammer 40K....

so yeah, patience is a forte of mine. But that's what I loved about it. It felt so real time...and you could do JUST that, grab some tea, read a book and sit in front of your computer with the sound up....

Honestly it turned my home into my starship. I loved it!!

I know it's not everybody's thing....but....At the very least it IS something different...

As opposed to what you DIDn't like....what DID you like?
(and does anybody ELSE like this game or am I all alone??)

Did you ever make it to end game with a decent guild?

You can't solo end game WoW, you can't even really group with a friend or two, it requires 25-40 competent people. And that, is where Blizzard focuses: end game content. You don't see them releasing new 5 man dungeons and the like, it's all 25+ man dungeons that they're releasing. And by all means its not mindless. At least with current dungeons, the way bosses are setup, it gets quite complicated. It practically has you jumping through flaming hoops in order to kill them. Like the Shade of Aran fight in Karazhan. You gotta be running around in circles during the fight, or stop depending on what he does. If someone, any ONE person screws up, your team gets wiped.

Video of the fight:

Mind you, they make the fight look real easy. Best my guild has taken him down, is like 15% or so. But they're European, so they're hardcore like that

And if EVE is like Earth and Beyond, then I'm going to have to pass on that. I like the concept and all, but spending half my time flying from place to place, rather than doing something just isn't for me Then again, I've never made it to end game - if it matters at all.

What I love about EVE is the participation is unique and interesting at every "level" And even when you get big ships you hang on to the smaller ones...because sometimes you need them. And you can participate in big campaigns (or little ones) pretty much right away. You can go it alone or go massive teamwork....

Sorry, but you just aren't going to be able to talk me into WoW....it felt more like a job...than a game... no fun at all :'(

It's an EVE bashing thread now... *sob*

I love every games like Eve Online
Only thing i despise when i pay for a gamer per month i feel obligated to play and end up not having fun at all because im gaming by obligation.

So Eve Online was a short 3months for me.
