MMOs suck.

I can understand why the social aspect might not appeal to you.

I can understand why the constant grinding to reach the next level, boring objectives, piss-poor design, and thousands of shitheads constantly repeating "n00b" and "pwnd" might appeal to you.

Not really, that's why EVE interests me. It prides itself on not containing any of those things, in fact it's the whole basis for the game design.

Unless you remove the chat function entirely, people are going to say "n00b" and "pwned". It's a fact of life.

Also, every MMO is repetitive. No exceptions.

I've been playing for about 10 hours now, it's not repetitive and haven't seen the word "noob" or "pwned" at all. The sheer depth of the game scares that kind of moron off.

It's crushing depth scared me off as well.  But the depth was mostly the realism mixed with the repetitiveness combined with the seriousness.  It's an MMORPG in the truest sense: Lots of people online all playing a role as a space ship pilot for the sole purpose of getting enough money/power to not die.

Cannot wait.

Tyrannis.


I just wish I had enough to resub, and get a new mouse..Because without the mouse, resubbing would be pointless.


Maybe I'll make a new account, again.

I would play the game,but...

A)I need to find a place that sells gamecards.
B)I need my own computer.

Just use a prepaid debit card and buy from any of these.

Technically... yes.  As I never got past the Tutorial (you know I got lost trying to get to the station a second time) I am a noob.  I prefer newbie, as it shows I did not learn the game instead of simply being bad at it.

Which doesn't help if you can't remember the name of the system.  I'm sure it was in a log file... somewhere, but I didn't feel like searching for it. 
To me, EVE Online is nothing more than a story-less RPG in which you fly around to get money to get bigger ships so you don't die as easily or often.  I'm a fan of story, what can I say?

mmo's are close to MOOS

I like Diablo.

There's tens of story arcs. You just need the money/power to make them interesting before it's worth doing them.

Autopilot sucks. It jumps you waaaayyyyy far from the gate, and is only really useful if you are going somewhere far, and leaving the house at the same time (or cleaning, or something)


Easier to just set your jumps manually when you are jumping through just a few systems.

It's good if you can't be bothered paying attention and have a fast ship. I usually take the opportunity to make something to eat.

I would try EVE but my internet runs on a steam engine with a leaky boiler so I'm not sure it could handle it.

My PC is fine, it's just the internet which is crap.

This reminded me to reinstall steam and play portal again.

The bandwidth it needs is surprisingly small, I can watch streaming videos, lurk on facebook and torrent while I'm playing with no issues on any of them. If anything, my torrent speed was slightly faster, but that's probably a fluke.

Just stay away from Jita, and you should be perfectly fine.


"CCP recently revealed that Jita is one of only 5 systems in the whole of Eve that runs on its own dedicated server hardware and doesn't share with any other system."

Its like, the trade hub of the entire universe. Don't know why... Peak has about 1500 people in there.

And...depression. I need a new graphics card, that supports at LEAST shader 2.0.

Damn, I have a long list of things for the next few paychecks.

What is suicide ganking?

What is suicide ganking?

http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Suicide_gank

That.

" 'Suicide ganking' refers to the practice of intentionally attacking enemies in high-security space, with the expectation of losing one's ship to Concord. Some targets have very valuable items equipped and/or very valuable items in their cargo, and killing them and recovering the items that are dropped will pay for the costs incurred in losing the ships necessary to kill it. Concord response times are longer in lower-sec systems, so suicide ganking is generally most profitable in 0.5."

TODAY.


I need to start a new trial on the computer that just barely runs it!

Meh. I'm probably going to wait for Dust 514 then use any money I make in that to buy a GTC, assuming I can link accounts or transfer ISK between them.

OK advice wanted folks. I have downloaded Eve (which took 6 hours) and am playing through the tutorials but I dot think Im going to finish them before my 14 day trial is up and Im not sure if I will like it enough to pay. Apart from mining material and processing it, killing other ships and ferrying items to and fro is there really anything else that can be done in the game? It seems to me thats pretty much all there really is.

PVP, business...economy based gameplay. It's a game with space ships. There isn't too much you could really do in it except for, well, all of that.


You should be able to finish the tutorial during the trial. I managed to do that, and buy an ORE mining barge in 14 days.

I have two haulers, seven frigates and a battleship, but I can only fly the frigates on a trial account. The hel?

There is only one thing limited on the trial account. I'm not sure what it was called but it was one of the skills needed to fly the bigger ships. I haven't been able to play in a while and am hoping to fix that problem on the tenth.

Or get an air conditioner. One or the other. Computer repair is most likely right now though..

Computer. It's only really hot for a quarter of the year and the computer has at least two fans attached anyway.

Yea, I just found a graphics card on tiger direct that suits my needs and is rather cheap. Woot. Now I just need to find a hard drive and ram upgrade and then wait till I get paid.

OK. I am still playing Eve. I dont understand why when a NPC attacked my mining ship, and I didnt fire back, just ran away, why did the Aggression Timer appear and give me 15 min countdown? Isnt that for if I was the criminal? Will Concord come after me and shoot my ship just because some NPC turd shot at me??
