As title. What is your favorite thing that is "totally true", but is in fact complete bollocks?

Mine is probably that corp CEOs are in it to profit off the grunts via corp taxes.

Newbies can't catch up.

lol

I know, right? It's so hilariously and blatantly obviously false that it's almost amazing that it has become such a myth.

after enough time, they will catch up

What is your favorite Eve myth?

Actually many high sec corps are like that.

My myth would be the notion that pirates are antisocial ******** 12 yearolds while pve players are friendly, social and mature. Generally it tends to be the other way round.

Every myth about my alliance.

You can passively align your ship.

people in GD know what they're talking about

the very act of jumping into low/null is met with swift, immediate and unavoidable death.

Highsec is safe

Concord protects

risk vs. reward

That more risk necessarily implies more reward.

You can passively align your ship.

Caldari suck at pvp.

EvE is a sandbox game.

EvE is a PvP game.

Eve online pvp combat is about skill and not skillpoints.

So you're saying it IS about skillpoints? I should be a combat god.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/myth

So the myth is that its about player skilll and not skillpoints, so then yes i am saying its about skillpoints.

There will be ring mining.

Cool story bro!

Stupid stuff

Alternatively, that the very act of jumping into low/null is met with swift, immediate and unavoidable death.

Hey now, this man knows what he is talking about. He has almost 150 kills/losses and it looks like all of them are gate camp ganks.

It's hard to find that kind of depth of experience outside of say a grade school or a convent.

Show a fight between a player with all skills in a cruiser at lvl 1 fighting another player in a tech 2 cruiser with all relevant skills at 5.
Both players should know what to do and not be afk and should not get links running.

When you can show that the first player has the same amount of chance to win as the 2nd player then the myth i posted is not a myth.
If you can not i suggest you join your own little gatecamp in low sec and stop fail trolling at this forum.

Highsec is very much unsafe, the hundreds of daily killmails of haulers, miners, and random other stuff prove otherwise, you have no argument really, and even if you have never been killed, its a FACT that I could, personally, find you flying around, and gank you at any time, as long as youre not docked.

Doesnt matter if you FEEL safe, you arent.

Because 1 vs 1 is a significant, or even noticable, representation of how combat is done in EvE. Shall we check your small number of kills and see how many of them were solo and in the same ship class.

RNG = Random Numeric Generator

Hi Sec is safe.

Nerfing Highsec will fix Nulsec

RiiiightGǪ

GǪso how is standard code a myth, again? The rest I can understand that someone clueless enough would consider myths, but this one?!

A random number generator (RNG) is a computational or physical device designed to generate a sequence of numbers or symbols that lack any pattern, i.e. appear random.

There are two principal methods used to generate random numbers. One measures some physical phenomenon GÇö atomic or subatomic GÇö that is expected to be random and then compensates for possible biases in the measurement process. The other uses computational algorithms that can produce long sequences of apparently random results, which are in fact completely determined by a shorter initial value, known as a seed or key. The latter type are often called pseudorandom number generators. Pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs) are algorithms that can automatically create long runs of numbers with good random properties but eventually the sequence repeats (or the memory usage grows without bound).

Several computational methods for random number generation exist and may meet, with varying success, some of the statistical tests for randomness, but fall short of the goal of true randomness. A "random number generator" based solely on deterministic computation cannot be regarded as a "true" random number generator, since its output is inherently predictable.

Clueless?

Maybe the facts will sink into some of the forum's more vocal hardheaded so-called 'Know it all' posters suffering from a 'small guy / god' complex who constantly make snide remarks with the intention of insulting others while attempting to look intellectually superior.

Oh wait, did I just jump on that bandwagon?

Damn it.

Anyway, read it and weep : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generation

In case you can't be arsed to check facts before posting, which seems to be the case due to your reply and past history, here it is in condensed form :



EDIT:

Oh yeah. I forgot to include, in my honest opinion, the biggest Eve Myth of all :

Tippia is the most polite, considerate, helpful and intellectual person ever to participate in the Eve forums.

Some wiki article

Did you really just quote wikipedia to define a random number generator, then in the same breath claim that the very same random number generator that you just defined doesn't exist? Did that really just happen?

[quote=Xinivrae]He was saying that Eve's RNG is not a "true RNG", ergo Tippia is wrong for somewhat implying that the Eve RNG is a true RNG. Tippia was just addressing that it is, in fact, an industry standard RNG, and not a biased RNG as some people accuse CCP of using.

DeMichael is desperate to prove Tippia wrong.

Oh man, where to start? There's a lot of Eve myth's alive and doing well in this game. Players have already posted quite a few. Here's a few more Eve Myth's :


WAI = Working As Intended

RNG = Random Numeric Generator

WIS = Walking In Stations

CSM (Council of Stellar Management) candidate selection and voting is fair procedure.

The 10,000 votes are legit.

CSM members accurately represent and convey the opinions of the player base majority.

All game mechanics are balanced and working as intended.

PvP players vastly outnumber PvE players.

Every career choice or player action in Eve is PvP.

Creating Eve account is consenting to engage in un-consensual PvP.

PvE content was created and designed strictly to fund PvP content.

All player characters in NPC Corporations are Alt's.

Only characters in Player made Corporations / Alliances benefit and contribute to Eve.

The Forums accurately represent the opinions of the Eve Community and player base.

There is no vocal minority.

High Security space.

Eve Is Real.


Guess I added more than just a few Eve Myth's to the list. Hell, I could have added more but I realized the amount of Eve Myth's in this game is like the Energizer Bunny. It just keeps going.....and going......and going....

Every contract linked in Jita local is a scam.

My favourite myth?

EVE is dying, man.

MIMAF manufacturers hurt the market.

TIL what MIMAF means.

Totally this.

That EVE would have 100000000s more subs if CCP would only remove PVP from hi sec.

#loadofrubbish

We are going a bit offtopic here.
Anyway its not needed to proof to me that when you take out the variable of player real skill the outcome of a 1vs1 fight is down to skillpoints.
More skillpoints in relevant skills is more ehp, more speed, more agility more dps.
Basicly everything more.

Still waiting of showing a video of a 1vs1 fight that shows im wrong.

Mining is not fun.

Eve is hard\difficult\complicated

On the other hand...



That all depends on what you are trying to do in EvE.

Some things are simple, some things are beyond the practical abilities of most people.

Why do you think there are so few competent FC's running around?

CCP is ruining the game for my category of players because they only care about (insert player category here).

CCP is trying to turn EVE into WOW in space.

CCP are pets of the Goons.

Goons are actually the CIA.

New players can do anything on day one.

T2 BPO owners have an unfair advantage

GǪand the question remains: how is it a myth?

Oh, and yes. GÇ£CluelessGÇ¥ would be an apt description for those who consider the other things you listed as myths.

Yeah I thought so, Reading Comprehension just isn't your Forte now is it?

Newbies can't catch up.

CCP cooperate with blizzard, soon WOW and EvE become connected virtual worlds.

HBC=CFC=Goons=PL=TEST blobnapfest420xxxxxx

Reading Comprehension just isn't your Forte now is It?

That hitting F1 on command is something only the elite can do.

[quote=Diamond Bull]

That recruitment channel will help newbs find a good corp.

Eve online pvp combat is about skill and not skillpoints.

No one has claimed the industry standard RNG CCP uses, is a true RNG. Because computers can't do them. So reading and comprehension, seems to be your issue.

Also, your list has no place in this thread. But I can see you'd never understand that fact.

What is your favorite Eve myth?

As title. What is your favorite thing that is "totally true", but is in fact complete bollocks?

DUST 514 is groundbreaking and will be a major factor in EVE Online.

Actually, I once saw a Courier contract linked there to haul stuff from one station in Jita to another. I took it, because I have bookmarks set up, and could use the 20 mil ISK it paid (the collateral was 50 mil or something). When I peeked inside, it was full of capital blueprints and skillbooks.

I never even undocked with it, and made about 900 mil that day. Best Jita local contract ever.

Never said anything about 'True RNG'

Am I the only one thinking that is a molecular formula?

You still haven't explained what the myth is, by the way, because the RNG certainly isn't one.

Anyway, the Myth about RNG (Random Number Generation) was already stated.

RiiiightGǪ

GǪso how is standard code a myth, again? The rest I can understand that someone clueless enough would consider myths, but this one?!

...and it was...?
Because, no, things being random is not a myth either. RNG really is R.

Heh, proof here that reading is fundamental.

Do your own work and look it up.

Maybe you should try it then.
You said that the RNG being random was a myth, which it obviously isn't.

You then changed your mind to say that things being random was a myth, which it obviously isn't.

So what's the myth?

In other words, you can't find anything to present as a rebuttal. Unfortunately, we have that good old onus probandi. So no. You said it; you do the work; your link didn't show anything even remotely relevant.

CCP is ruining the game for my category of players because they only care about (insert player category here).

Sovereignty null is significantly safer for pure PvE than high sec

Physician, heal thyself and practice what you preach. I already posted a link which explained the Myth immediately after you started in on this foolish crusade of yours.

Oh what tangled webs we weave.........(Unfortunately for you) I never said that.

I already posted proof. Obviously it's too painful for you to read something that contradicts and disproves your statements.

No, you posted a link that explained what an RNG is, and it showed that no, it's not a myth.

You first claimed that GÇ£RNG = Random Numeric GeneratorGÇ¥ is a myth. You then provided a link that rather showed that it isn't GÇö that's what an RNG is, and that's what it does. At most, it's a spelling error, but then it's your error, not a myth.

GǪexcept, of course, that you did.
Specifically, you revised your statment to GÇ£claiming that it's 'Random' is the MythGÇ¥, which is not only different from what you said first, but also complete nonsense. The RNG in EVE affects a ridiculous amount of things. You'd have to be a lot more specific than that if you want to call it a myth (and even then, you'll probably be wrong due to how much die-rolling there is around here).

Maybe it would be if you posted something that proved me wrong or contradicted me. Instead, you posted something that proved your first claim wrong and had nothing to do with your revised claim.

So, we're back to the same old question: what's the myth? Because no, the RNG is not a myth, nor is its influence on a vast array of things in EVE.

Second part is a forum drama queen myth. Most people in EVE know you can go to Low and Null and not get sploded so long as you just want to go there and not do stuff. Undock a miner or a PvE fit and watch them come out of the wood work.

False.

My corp lives exclusively in low sec. I don't think any of us has ever been blown up when we were not seeking a fight. You must just be terrible at low sec.
