    To many EvE fanboys on this website. I bet 99% of the EvE pop uses these boards while they play EvE.

    "EvE is boring to some and fun to others"

    I'm sick of hearing that BS. Its like dog shit, I bet some people like to eat it but its not for everyone however many would agree that it taste like dog shit.

     

    I played EvE 2 times and it was retardly boring. I do not like the character builder its lamedull.

    Well when i play eve im not always on here but insead i like to put myself in the shoes of say (if eve was real) a pilot and think hmmm what would an eve pilot do while he is travalling light years away and figuer he would probally look at alot of porn... So thats mainly what i do while travalling from system to system

    I just got tired of looking at floating colored balls in space. No PvP could save me from that boredom. Guess I'd make a sorry long journey astronaut. I'd be the first one plucking out the crews eyeballs from insanity.

    It all seems so stupid
    It makes me want to give up
    But why should I give up
    When it all seems so stupid

    Man, Eve IS boring. Stop trying to convince people that it isn't.

    You remind me of those annoying religous people going door to door trying to get people to join their religion.

    travelling wouldn't be that bad if they actually gave you something to do while you travel. my idea of a fun game isn't alt tabbing out of the game while i wait to get to where i want to get.

  • AshkentAshkent Member Posts: 772

    heh, yeah...

    i don't know how many people played games like privateer or wing commander back in the day, but sometimes when you jumped to a new system you got attacked by pirates or whatever the enemies were back then.

    in eve you travel, jump, travel, jump, travel, jump, travel, jump, travel, jump, travel...oh look, i'm there....

    i know the game isn't all about fighting but jesus...give us something to break the monotony. at least make the sectors look different besides just different colored gas clouds and maybe an occasional planet with rings instead of no rings.

    why are all the planets so dull? they're all like a dull gray or black color. no features at all, where are the earthlike planets? what about mars, saturn, etc? when you see those planets up close, there is a lot of detail. also, why can i fly through a planet but i just bump off of asteroids?

    and as other people said, the skill system sucks. whoever decided that should be shot! oh you guys are going out to fight something? ok cool, i'll go! what? you need a missile ship? oh, i can't use missiles...let me go train it. oh darn, its going to take me 5 REAL LIFE hours to train it...

    yeah, lets make a game and charge people $13.95 a month for it, but make it so that they don't actually have to be in front of the computer to play it. WTF!?!?!?!? EVE should be free to play.

    Mate, as the two first listed reasons why its fun you list ganking and scamming. ( Not saying that it isnt but if it is the MOST fun parts then you yourself just shot this game down really bad )

    Second you follow up with telling people what they can and cannot write on these boards.

    If anything you just made people more inclined to bash EVE and as someone who tends to think it is brilliant I would appreciate it if you would be so kind and stop posting crap like that? Asking, mind you, not telling, there is a difference, learn it.

    News flash!

    Taking 30 minutes of auto pilot flying to get somewhere IS BORING!!!!!!!!

    The 5 minutes of excitement you get when you get there is worth it! But the travel times can be boring  and makes it hard for casual" gamers like me to get into it very far.

    I really liked EVE... but after work, kids, and school I don't want to wait that long to really start having fun. The Pvp of EVE and its whole economy system are awesome, few games match it .....

    Witty saying to amuse you goes here.

    Hey Scaramoosh, you sure you're not just strawman-ing for us anti-EVErs?...hehe

    I mean 4 of the 5 things you've listed that make EVE not boring are a joke.

    Ganking and Scamming...yeah...way to recommend a game...they're why most people DON'T play certain games.

    200 people PvP wars...yeah...if you can keep the entire SERVER(s) from crashing when it happens.

    Having a laugh with mates is something you do in REAL LIFE isn't it? unless you call typing lol lol "having a laugh"

    And the 5th one, it really only applies to those who started back when the game started...honestly...how much influence can a new starter pull in EVE?...and how long would it take until they actually could have some? (feel free to express your answer in years)

  • darquenbladedarquenblade Member Posts: 1,015

    What I find terribly funny here is that Scaramoosh has decided to create a thread in which he is pissed about people slamming on Eve the same way he slams on every other MMO out there.

    Ah, hypocrisy.

  • TaljinnTaljinn Member Posts: 81

    Eve is a very pretty spreadsheet. It's more like work than my job is. If you want a real game , come play Jumpgate!

  • TithrielleTithrielle Member Posts: 547

    Ganking and scamming are not necessarily good qualities to have in a game...

    I think thats a great idea magnus!!

    Our ships should have a built-in game-console for those long lonely jumps giving us access to content such as..... hmm..... lemme see.... WoW ?!

    hehe maybe then we could finally bring together the warring Eve and WoW factions for ultimate domination of this website!!!

    (of course, WoW would be offered on the EVE pilot console, and not the reverse, cuz Eve rox0rz)

    and it seems like eve has lots of scammers. i was reading an article in some online magazine about eve. it mentions 2 huge scams. here is the link

    http://www.escapistmagazine.com/issue/19/23

    now, in an open ended game, that kinda sounds cool, but its not cool for the people who worked a long time to get where they were, only to have it all ruined in a matter of minutes.

    good catch on the article, Ash, and I guess I would have to agree to some extent about the frustration of being infiltrated.

    Personally, this very item is what made me put down Anarchy Online for a bit in order to test-drive Eve (which I'm in the middle of). Tbh, just having the possibility of being able to interact with other corps/alliances/communities to this level intrigues me. Does any1 remember a strategy board-game called "Diplomacy"? In this WWI game the object is to dominate Europe through diplomacy, alliance-building, intrigue and eventually, deception.

    So, sure the idea of being infiltrated to this degree is tragic when you are at the receiving end... but just having access to a virtual world that enables this level of relationship, for good or evil use, is fascinating.

    Yeah Maadiah!  I still play in some tournaments here in Australia; I was Australian champion a couple of years back...hehe.  It's a pity cause if EVE didn't have the huge downtimes (and a few other problems) a lot of its core concepts would interest me greatly!
  • fulmanfufulmanfu Member Posts: 1,523

    i don't have a problem with being hated. because this is one of the most boring mmropg's i've every played.

    don't get me wrong different is good and im glad a few(very vocal few)like it, but bottom line its not fun to log in and play.


    even the developers thought this , they were like 'oh sh1t this is boring..lets let them lvl skills while they are logged off cuz noones going to play this boring game that long"

    There is the nub of the problem....

    the Eve game is, theoretically, a bloody awesome and innovative game - which should have blown any other game out there away...

    Unfortunatley, some of its gameplay (travel time, too short combat, instas etc) just let the game down big time.

    So went from "Perfect" to intellectually stimulating but slow as hell...

    Slow as Hell -> most gamers out there wont touch it with a 10 foot barge pole.

    Its a shame, but true. :(

    (and this is from a gamer who loves eve and plays it a lot... Now unless there is a corp operation, raid etc, i wont bother logging on..)

  • Ranma13Ranma13 Member Posts: 747

    The reason why traveling takes so long is because that's how the the economy works. Nobody's going to buy something for 1 mil isk higher if they can just fly for 5 minutes and buy it cheaper. But if the difference is 30 minutes, that 1 mil isk higher deal might be worth it.

    Either way, this thread is just flamebait. Dunno why there have been so many responses.

  • hadzhadz Member Posts: 712
    Yeah...it was definitely meant to be flamebait...but look how us anti-EVErs have controlled ourselves...what a wonderfully mature bunch we are...hell, we'd probably be playing a mature game like EVE too, if it wasn't so darned dull. image
  • Mikey0114Mikey0114 Member Posts: 310

    Haha, you Fanbois and anti Eve ppl are all to laugh at.....the crap you come out with has no substance....

    "We'd probably be playing a mature game like EVE too, if it wasn't so darned dul" said the guy who posted before me.... what kind of person makes a statement like that without bringing up reasons...I mean ok you say its boring...but thats not good enough...its just your personal opinion and you stating it like its a fact. Why couldn't you come up with better reasons then just it is boring. In my opinion Eve is a great game....but I don't play it because I personally find it boring. But I respect the fact that many other people find what I find boring to be fun.....so you can't claim a game is dull....and no, the way you said it was not from personal opinion. In truth we all have different tastes...we must accept that!

    Same goes for the Fanbois....everyone doesn't have to like a game...because its the best or it suits what you like....it doesn't suit what everyone likes...for example...their character advancement system isn't very popular among many ppl...they don't like the idea of gaining skill over months by doing nothing. But I liked it....what I didn't like was the way to control frigates interceptors and the small ships.....it would have been more fun if we could controll them ourselves. Anyway thats what I wished for, but I wont troll the game for not including that. As I said before, we all have different tastes, and must accept that!

    I would like for there to be something to replace Eve....my guess is StarTrek, will replace it. So we can look for some good competition between CCP and the devs of Startrek...forgot their name.

    Man...do people even bother to read other posts in a thread...

    My last comment was a JOKE (sarcasm...may be a bit complex for some)!  I've given my "reasons" so often in threads on this site that I don't feel I have to rehash them everytime.  This thread really is just a bit of a joke thread, compared to some of the more serious bash/defend threads about the same topic.

    JOKE...J.O.K.E.

    BTW, YOU should play EVE!!  You'd fit right in with EVE players...they LOVE calling other people dumbasses (or babies or stupid or shallow) for no reason too.

    EDIT: Oh...and OF COURSE I can call a game dull!!  If I feel it's dull, that's my opinion.  You've never called something dull before?  A movie, a game, a play, an opera, a speech...  (another closet EVE fan trying to distance him/herself and pretend objectivity)

     Hey Mikey

     Don't mind Hadz. He claims he's given reasons before, most of which he pulled up out off thin air. He just your garden variety "I know nothing about eve, but I still hate it" forum troll.

    hmm...he has given reasons before. and the interesting part is that they are the same reasons i don't like eve and many, many other people have given as to why they don't like it. i guess lots of people were pulling the same exact reaons out of their asses, huh?
