Eve Online and What it "Could Be"

  • DedthomDedthom Member Posts: 541

    From what I have experienced in EVE, the game has a good balance for both playing with others and playing alone. The Best part of EVE is the many and varied ways the game can be played.

    Sometimes EVE has the feel of a single player game, like when you are in a station and no one else is around. But there is always other to shoot the bull with in the channels. But without the other players EVE would not be what it is, the politicing and the danger would just not be the same. Sure you could simulate certain parts of the game but not all of it without people behind the ships you encounter.

    Well I interact with people all day in real life so I see nothing wrong with wanting to escape into a game without people and have fun by myself. I guess some people need the online interaction because they lack the rl social interation.

    Really bad idea IMO, and in the words of the OP, I don't care what he thinks otherwise.

    Other than online chess programs there is no computer AI in any game that I can't beat.

    There are definitely humans in games that I cannot outthink.

    Just the facts, Jack.

    There are like 10billion single player games. You're on a MMORPG forum.

    I even posted a single player game that is almost exactly like EVE, except it's 2D.

    You're just a troll. Get over it.

    How the hell are you still a member of this site?

    I remember you from that ridiculous Thanksgiving Day thread. You know, the one started by that Native member. You made some lovely comments about Jews and Africans. I noticed your post and remember you as my g/f is Jewish. You're lucky that thread got deleted before anyone could report you.

    The only thing more ridiculous than this thread is the bigot that you truly are.

    This thread is so outside the realm of anything that is possible it's more comedy than anything. In fact when I first read the OP all I could think to say was thanks for laugh.

    side note:

    A couple of weeks back someone posted in this forum how EVE could have been such a great game if it had followed the PVE/Themepark design of a game like WOW or EQ. I gave the standard, there is nothing wrong with having variety in the industry answer.

    TBH tho, since then, all I have thought is what a great game WOW could have been if it had followed EVE's design. Something like UO was, but with WOW's graphics and UI.

    I think my view is much closer to the truth.

    Hold on though. I'm making my own point here. Would you really want to play an online game with a chap like me?

     

    EDIT: And for the sake of the mods, please try to keep this thread civil, I don't want another ban for xx days from a site that talks about mmorpg's

    Your point is moot. You are not the only online player who behaves this way. So whether we play with or without you we are always playing with people like you.

    I didn't read this 4 page e-fight so I don't know if this was mentioned, but I've heard that x3: Terran Conflict is about as close to offline EvE as you can get.  $20 on Steam I believe.  Its had some good reviews.

    Well, let see, you have shown that you are argumentative, stubborn, a bigot by your admission, and insulting. Maqny people who have these same qaulities play MMOs some more or less extreme but with similar qaulities.

    You are not unique, you are not as special as you seem to think. But even with the flawed communities that persist in MMOs we will continue to play them for our own reason whether they be for good or bad.

    Don't you see I'm trying to help you gamers, release you from your bounds of grouping and guilds. I'm trying to release you inner fun side and give you the ability to have fun without relying on other people. You'll be a stronger and more expirienced gaming when you cut the chains and release the burden of group raids and dungeons crawls. I don't want to give you a fish (content) I want to teach you how to fish (make your own content).

    So I guess the masses have spoken (This is the reason I hate democracy) and the game will remain in the mmo state.Good luck to you all and your drama filled gaming worlds. I will be having my no strings attached fun in x3 while your playing your soap opera's and at the end of the day I will be the one with the smile on my face. Farewell.

    i prefer playing other players as opposed to npc ai. NPC ai is predictable, rudimentary, and cannot adapt to complex situations as well as human players. Humans can make decision, tactical decisions, and plan out the long term. Why would i want to play an inferior AI when playing against others is more of a challenge.

     

    You want a single player game that's fine....but EVE is a MMORPG.....as in MULTIPLAYER.

     

    I prefer teamwork, guilds, corps, alliances of people working together for a goal or against each other for power.Basically every portion of multiplayer is my style. You are trying to preach a single player game to those who enjoy the multiplayer style. Just because you don't enjoy it doesn't mean there aren't a couple of hundred thousand players who would rather play online with others than a single player game.

     To the OP you might want to check out the game X3. I think you would really enjoy it.  It has a lot of elements that Eve has. It does have an online community but the game is single player game. Also you might want to check out old school Freelancer in the moding community.   This game can be hosted in your home as a multiplayer RPG.  I think you could finf the game at target for 4.99/ X3 for 19.99 on up. X3 is newer.

    Thank you for the suggestion but I already play and enjoy X3. I love the modding (cockpit mod rocks).

    I come from a long line of bigots and you enjoy your even also.



     

    I just wish people like you would express their racist views more often in RL, and less on the internet. If you said the shit you said in that other thread anywhere near my vicinity I would knock you out before you could even smirk. Fuck you and grow a set of balls.

    Adios amigo.



     

    Lol and internet threats show even more courage and class then "racism". The double standard of biggortry is I can preach it and you can preach against it. Noone rights are violated so welcome to America. Free spreach,if you don't like it get out.

    So back to Eve Online Single Player discussion/ How would this hurt the mmo Eve Online? I don't see how it would interfere at all because it wouldn't be on the same server and the markets wouldn't/ economy wouldn't be connected?

    So you advocate drama or real pvp?



     

    How do you get "PvP" in a single player game?

    If you want to play Single Player EvE  - and many do - then just run missions in Empire, avoid the forums and minimise local and NPC channels.

    God that sounds boring....
