Nikolai Dostoyevski Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 34	Posted - 2012.08.16 22:04:00 - [182] - Quote Boooo OP. I'm a mostly solo PVE'er (just because I don't need to worry about anybody but myself in my limited play time sessions). I do not want Eve to be any more PVE oriented. Plenty of mission/COSMOS/exploration content out there if you want to solo PVE, but that isn't what Eve is primarily about. Anybody who wants this game to be more "theme park" or WOW-solo style needs to DIAF.
Swooshie USA Canada Private Corp 63	Posted - 2012.08.16 22:44:00 - [183] - Quote Look at the passion and, quite often, the length and thoroughness of some of the explanations in this thread. Those guys have earned the right to blow my #$%? up, not some NPC dumbwits. And yes, PvE means Player versus Environment. EVE has that, plenty. It's PvE in a kindergarten room that it doesn't have.

Cozmose Grumpy Old Farts Of Doom 0	Posted - 2012.08.16 22:53:00 - [184] - Quote The thing I find most upsetting ws posted early on in this thread, the assumption that people enjoy inflicting suffering and watching the suffering of their victims. What about people, surely the vast majority of people, who don't? would you reccomend EVE to them?

Melodee619 The Scope Gallente Federation 26	Posted - 2012.08.16 23:46:00 - [186] - Quote EVE never used to be about wow style gaming. Sadly that is changing an changing fast. EVE's attractiveness was the fact it was all for all intents lawless. I can remember my first day in eve many many many years I can flipped a guy an legged it. I was os proud of myself :)... Now EVE is going mainstream sadly an we will see more an more of "CCP" playing the game for you. making it nice an cuddly for everyone...EG PVE/wow players.People dont wanna be responsible for themselves today they want the devs to do it for them. This idiocy about pve players in EVE is just another example of whats happening to the game.

GD isn't populated by vultures. We're obviously wolves. I was thinking that a few are wolves. There are even a few lions. But for the most part, the majority are hyenas. As for solo PvE support, they nerfed Incursions, isn't that enough? A good predator knows how to live in balance with his prey, lest he follow them into oblivion.

EVE's niche is being a very competitive PvP game. Yes, there is PvE content, however, it's geared up almost solely to grind-for-ISK... to buy ships to blow up. Almost every area of the game is "PvP" / competitive, even market trading or mining. There is no "every player that joins gets to follow the same stupid storyline". If you want to play through a storyline that someone else thought up then go read a book, watch a more or play a game designed to be good at that. EVE is not that. It's not supposed to be that. A lot of people like about EVE is the player-driven experience. It's the stories that the players make that are interesting. Like Mitten's crazy antics with the Goons or the null-sec sagas, or the video's that have come out of Rooks & King's operations. If you really want an interesting and challenging solo PVE experience try exploration on your own in low sec or w-space using a single-fit ship. That's a challenge and probably the best PVE solo experience I've had in EVE. The bottom line is that now I have one of those annoying signatures.

It's about working as a team to overcome your opponents, who enjoy the good fight just as much as you. Gallente - the choice of the interstellar gentleman

There appears to be no place for PvE-only players. Even when joining a corp for support, there has to be PvP elements to prevent PvE activities from being disrupted by PvP players. I am not talking about PvE missions or DED space. I am talking about PvE merchants and miners. Is there such a thing?? Can a player expand as a courier or a miner without PvP support? So far, I cannot find a way to do it. Everyone with whom I have had contact seems to feel this game is both PvE and PvP, yet they always stipulate you must protect yourself, you must not risk more than you are willing to lose, you should join a corp for protection, etc. Where in there lies a PvE game? The game seems handicapped for solo PvE play. I guess maybe there are not enough solo PvE players to make a difference. Can anyone say different? Nope, you have correctly identified that EVE is built and designed on a non-instanced, player-driven competitive interaction model. If you want to unlock EVE's solo PvE mode then I suggest you look here: http://www.amazon.com/X3-The-Reunion-2-0-Pc/dp/B000KDEFO4/ref=pd_bxgy_vg_text_c Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

If for competitive pvp, not a chance, there are much better games for that, this games pvp is mostly for those who cant hack it in a real competitive environment. For the atmosphere and complexity a big yes.

I guess maybe there are not enough solo PvE players to make a difference. Can anyone say different? EVE, being a sandbox game, is in its very nature a social game. It is not so much that solo play is handicapped, but that you handicap yourself by not being social. They say that in learning the game Go, it is best to lose your first 50 games as soon as possible. This is because Go is complex, and the only way you will start to get an idea of strategy and play is by first sucking and failing as hard as you can. So...In EVE, it is best to get your first 50 deaths by combat as soon as possible.
