Eve Online

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone on this forum, played this game?

I did for a while.

Its literally a time sink on top of time sinks and if you hope of ever being competitive in PVP... forget about it now. Older players not only have insane skills you will never catch up to and they have so much money that the ship you struggled to purchase, equip, train skills for and insure and you're left with no money is a ship they can afford ten thousand times per day... which means in PVP you die once thats it for you...they will keep tossing endless ships at you.

Is it fun? Yes if you just want to play the game without pvp (which is not guaranteed). Is it long term fun? I don't think so.


Check out Star Citizen as an alternative:

All videos done with in-game assets. The vids literally look like the game does. Currently in pre-alpha stage.

It's also worth noting what Eve is actually like in terms of gameplay and such.

The game had always seemed appealing to me, but when I actually tried it..... ugh.

As I'd said in another topic, it could almost be called "Menu Screens: The Game". Filled with the wacky misadventures of about a bazillion little icons and menu options. When you're NOT doing that? Hey, you get to stare at (not interact with!) your ship as it moves REALLY REALLY SLOWLY from one area to the next. You'd think "warp" wouldnt take so freaking long.


Just.... ugh. Yeah. Didnt understand it then, dont understand it now.

I have checked out Star Citizen... It looks good.

Should have asked if anyone currently plays Eve Online... I was actually looking for contacts.
