Could very well be the new Eve...

I might get flamed I might not, here it goes.

I think the economy that the devs are working on could very well match the economy set in eve-online. Lets be honest eve-online has one of the stronger mmo economies out there of all mmo's. If the economy engine is strong for lack of a better term that's a plus. The cool part is we won't get bored because PBS actually has some very nice graphics. Eve was nice also, but once you see one star system you've seen them all.

I was thinking that if PBS could add some land missions to the game that would be pretty cool also, but maybe that's asking to much.


Who knows, I just hope I have a new favorite game. WoW is done in my book, it's hit the mmo wall regardless of BC and I really want to have hope for all the other games that are being released in 2007.

    Oh my gosh, if this game turns into another EVE where everything is done for you and you just vegetate in your chair I think I'm going to have to kill myself.


    SWG- Left after they ruined it
    WoW- Left after 2 years
    EVE- Left after three days

    Land missions would be cool in this game, I don't know if that will be an option though.  I think all of the battles will happen in the ocean.

    With avatar combat being put into the game there will now be battles on land in missions and such as said in some of the dev logs image Thats why I have gave this game a big 10.

    Ugh... I would expect more from PotBS. I hope it'll be action packed, but still relaxed. I think it very well could replace EVE, in both my heart and the ratings list.

    God, PLEASE make this game not a single thing like EVE. God, EVE sucks, total borefest. Same with WoW(I'm gonna get flamed cause of that) I'm mad you have to be 18 or older to beta test ><. Hm.....should i fake my age......

    I'm a dedicated EvE player myself and I've been follow PotBS for a long time now. I had hoped that the devs didn't put in any instanced stuff and instead made it as realistic to real world scale as possible, to really give players a sense of immersion rather to make it seem like just another game you log on and play for a few hours before logging off. Still the setting and the combat style seems like it could be quite fun. I'd definitely give this game a try, but it's going to take quite a lot to pull me away from EvE to play a new MMO.

    PotBS isnt going to be single shard as far as i know, so that right there will make it very different from EVE.

  • smartkidzsmartkidz Member Posts: 252
    Been following this game from day one. I played Eve and i actually didn't like it. I just hope PotBS gets some recognition.

    Yes PoTBS Concept is basiclly like EVE but more Combat is much different for starters there will be Avatar Combat and Avatar interacting. But like EVE there are chances that you will get bored just sailing around and blowing up the same stuff and it can get old and some of the cumminity will see that.

     

    I know this from a friend of mine in beta who got bored and stoped playing beta.

    But you dont have to listen to him  cuase that F%&ker is werid he always forgets his passwords and accounts so i never got to try the game when he stoped using is account... :(

    LOL!  For some reason that just came across very funny.



    "...from a friend of mine..."

    "...you dont have to listen to him  cuase that F%&ker is werid..."



    That total 180 just struck me as very funny.  Thanks for the laugh and the post.

    Well it's no secret that you'll be able to go on land, which is a huge plus in my book.  I think that the mix between the sea and land is what appeals most to me. So long as there is a good balance between the two or as long as I have a place to go meet people and make deals or things of that nature.

    Needless to say, Flying Lab has me excited.

    Been playing Eve since release and still playing now. Been following PotBS for awhile now and i hope its nothing like Eve! Cant wait till June, which i hope it does come out like said. Eve is great, its something very different to most mmorpgs that out and to me, PotBS is another mmorpg which is something new and uniqe!

    If this game is like Eve I will most likely try it. The greatest thing about Eve and what made me go back to it is how they are not afraid to make PVP the main part of the game. I hope this game follows that idea.

    There is land combat so no worries.

    I think this game COULD be better than Eve Online too!  

    Main things in favour of PotBC

    - Lovely graphics!!!!

    - More than one shard! In Eve Online, one guild is FAR more powerful than the others and they have 'won the end game'! Doesn't help that rumor says they are composed of developers!

    - It's historical, and therefore more socially acceptable to play - but obviously, this depends on the execution at release.

    Main things in favour of Eve

    - It's science fiction, so the developers have much more scope for adding new things. (BUT will this make a difference? Only time will tell.)

    - It's one shard! So there is a real community feel.

     I agree. This looks like Eve but just in the past with ships. I think it has the potential to be way better than eve also because of possible land combat and such
  • ZanthosZanthos Member Posts: 11
    I can't stand EVE.   I pray this game will be much different.  I'm nto a fan of any MMO right now.
  • ldarksideldarkside Member Posts: 30

    I will admit that some of what I've read seems to make me think of Eve and I do have some friends who are hardcore Eve players looking into this game (maybe because it reminds them of Eve but with a pirate theme), but I'll think I'll wait and see how it is if I make it into the beta or if they ever give out a free trail. Until then I'll sit back and hope that whatever this game turns out to be like I hope its fun.

    Oh a pirates life for me!

    This seems like a much different game to eve ,and probably the pvp will more fun.
