Tressin Khiyne Minmatar The Tal'Shiar	Posted - 2009.05.15 23:43:00 - [31] Originally by: Ghoest Originally by: Intense Thinker When I selling stuff and some jackass undercuts me by 1 cent. This. No real world market or auction would let you under sell by 1 cent on 50 million dollar items. Ussually they have a minimum 1% or 5%. To be fair, if the system told you you couldn't price something .01 below another seller, you would quickly have a new annoying thing. I often purchase the most expensive of a set of things sepperated by .01, just because screw them. -- Save the SEXY in EVE!

You're still buying from the cheapest offer in the station, they just get to keep your extra isk. but by all means keep doing this. The extra isk is appreciated. ___________________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008 ^Third Times a Charm^
Rhinanna Minmatar	Posted - 2009.05.16 00:14:00 - [34] Trying to fly round obstacles in space and ramming into them despite visually been at least 1-2 Km away.... Its made missions a major pain in cases..... I'm not saying they have to be perfect with the hit boxes but some of them are stupidly out of alignment with the visual representation of the object. We need to have some degree of knowledge about the universe we are flying in or it makes it very hard to play. Its damn annoying when you are slowed down or killed not by your own mistake but by a blatant game play bug.
Gealbhan Caldari Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2009.05.16 00:21:00 - [35] Well not so much annoys me but makes me go "Tch!" is that 1 second left to change ships thing, waste of clickage. Originally by: Reven Cordelle What do I do? Well half the time, I'm an Orca Pilot - So absolutely sweet F/A except hit F1 and F2 - sit back and feel my ass grow.
Kara Mitsui The New Era HUZZAH FEDERATION	Posted - 2009.05.16 01:54:00 - [36] Originally by: Blane Xero 21:35:39 Notify Please wait while ship is entering hangar.Scotty, the docking manager estimates 27 seconds left. Its poor grammer at best. I guess you can take it either way. If its the docking manager being called scotty then the Comma is not needed, you just need a comma before it and after hangar; 21:35:39 Notify Please wait while ship is entering hangar, Scotty the docking manager estimates 27 seconds left. Then again, if it was you being called scotty, it would prolly be worded as following; 21:35:39 Notify Please wait while ship is entering hangar Scotty. The Docking Manager estimates 27 seconds left. Also this has led me to realise that its quite grammatacally incorrect as a whole, its missing a Your and a The 21:35:39 Notify Please wait while "your" ship is entering "the" hangar.Scotty, the docking manager estimates 27 seconds left. All that, just to avoid admitting you were wrong? Dude, the English language has rules, you can't just make them up to suit yourself. The position and need for a comma in that sentence is debatable, but the period is not. It means end of sentence, and it is obvious that the docking manager is called Scotty. There's not really any room for confusion. Just man up and admit you've misread it the whole time you've been playing. That's less dumb than trying to pretend the sentence is ambiguous. The one thing I hate about Eve is the comittment it requires. I cannot play casually, it's either 8 hours a day or nothing. But maybe that's just me.
Sumelar	Posted - 2009.05.16 02:11:00 - [37] Originally by: Lardarz B'stard The "that" which you can't do while warping, which you never find out what it is. Did you have an afterburner on when you went to warp? That's what it always is for me.

It means end of sentence, and it is obvious that the docking manager is called Scotty. There's not really any room for confusion. Just man up and admit you've misread it the whole time you've been playing. That's less dumb than trying to pretend the sentence is ambiguous. In British English, you would usually get frowned upon for smacking a full stop in the middle of a sentence less than 20 words long, especially when the sentence makes perfect sense without it And considering the sentence itself is completely nonsensical, i.e missing the "your" (or the, although if grammatically correct it would refer to the ship in its possessive context, i.e your) from in between "While" and "ship" and then, you have the missing word between "Entering" and "Hanger" If it was Grammatically correct it would also be either Your or The. But since the hanger is technically in possession of the station, The would be the correct choice. Then, the illustrious Full Stop bang smack in the middle of, what would be a perfectly correct Sentence without it as the only purpose it serves is a pause, which is initially the Comma's purpose And because of this, the comma after Scotty makes no sense either, as it is not needed. Notify Please wait while "your" ship is entering "the" hangar, Scotty the docking manager estimates 27 seconds left. Compared to; Notify Please wait while ship is entering hangar. Scotty, the docking manager estimates 27 seconds left. But when it comes to grammar policing I usually refrain I love a good rant. Edit: Hell you could even put a roughly in between the Estimates and the amount of seconds left ___________________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008 ^Third Times a Charm^
Procopius	Posted - 2009.05.16 02:35:00 - [41] My #1 = ISK sellers, particularly ruining many chats. Can't WAIT till CCP bans ISK selling chat scriptors. But really I cant for them to ban any chat scriptors.

Queen Margaret	Posted - 2009.05.16 09:27:00 - [46] you have 10 ships in the hangar, and you know the module you need to grab, is fitted to one of those ships, but the ships won't tell you what modules they have fit! So you think the ship named "blinky" is fit with a buffer tank, but no its, smartbombs and you can waste minutes this way.

Dmitrii Kosakovich	Posted - 2009.05.16 10:44:00 - [50] The way ammunition groups up by type "EMP L, EMP M, EMP S" instead of by size. I'm not looking for EMP only, I don't think anyone does. I just want all the L charges to group together!

In British English, you would usually get frowned upon for smacking a full stop in the middle of a sentence less than 20 words long, especially when the sentence makes perfect sense without it .

Please avoid starting sentences with conjunctions. You can only get away with it when you write otherwise outstanding text. CCP's version: Quote: Please wait while ship is entering hangar. Scotty, the docking manager estimates 27 seconds left. My rephrased version: 'Please wait while your ship is entering the hangar. Scotty, the docking manager, estimates that this will take another 27 seconds.' Now that we have a grammatically correct sentence, it only takes a few minor changes to get to the alternative interpretation of CCP's version: 'Please wait while your ship is entering the hangar, Scotty. The docking manager estimates that this will take another 27 seconds.' A clarification on this matter from CCP would be appreciated. --- 20:1 mineral compression ISRC Racing, Season 7 - schedule

Kweel Nakashyn Minmatar Star's Dust Industrie	Posted - 2009.05.16 11:30:00 - [54] Originally by: Cat o'Ninetails Hi, Cat here. I was wondering what people think is the most annoying thing about EVE is. You can only pick one, and it must be a game mechanics annoyance rather than a bug etc. Mine is not being able to contract damaged items. x Good idea of a thread... Mine was unable to contract a ship with damaged droneswith no fit panel access (hte hsit gameplay). And how empire flagging system emphase empire piracy ( the carebear : vigilance 100%, the pirate, vigilance only when he wants) AND THIRD HOW SUCKY IS THE FORUM WITH FIREFOX damnit Fetchez la vache ! moar(tm) < soon(tm) :(
King Rothgar Death of Virtue MeatSausage EXPRESS	Posted - 2009.05.16 11:30:00 - [55] NPC AI, even the sleepers. It's beyond stupid, pve and pvp setups should be the same thing for the most part. NPC's should flee losing battles and should do human level damage and have human level tanks. You should have to warp scramble an NPC to actually kill them unless you manage to one volley them. And if massively outclassed they should just warp off before you get a lock (or try to). Making them properly choose targets is more difficult but surely CCP can do better than the current system of targeting whatever shows up first. There is no reason that npc's can't use the same ship mechanics players use and be fitted with common setups for pvp. It really isn't that complicated. On a related note, people playing an MMO as a single player game. Seriously, wtf. Missions in most MMO's require atleast a 4 man team to complete in any reasonable amount of time, eve's agent missions should do the same. Yes, a lvl1 mission should require 4-8 noobs in frigates to complete. It should be possible to fail missions as well. In duo of death as an example, if you fail to tackle the two BS's before they realize things are going badly, they warp off and you lose the mission. Waiting till after dt for another chance would not work either, it's simply failed and closed. ---------------------------------------------
