I think you might want to check out the StarCitizen v Eve thread for that.
They are for damn sure that SC is gonna kill Eve and that SC is way better than Eve ever thought of being.
I have been having a blast with E:D myself.

Judging from videos of ED, the method of traveling from system to system and interdicting other players seems pretty cool. Looks more exciting than EVE's gates and gate camps. |

I play in the evening US and I have not noticed a huge drop in players online.. so I'm going with no. People are prolly playing both and with eves unlimited queue... as ED is F2P past initial cost (I think, correct if wrong) you can easily train in eve and play ED till your training is done. It was a brilliant move by ccp that.
I take back my previous comment, I might have to poke my head into ED so know for sure if I could like it or not. but ill wait a bit longer

I don't know whether to start a new thread asking but I will ask here just in case.
Any capsuleers here have tried E:D? Any deep insights I may have? I have read a lot of reviews, and its summarized as:
''A huge grind (money wise) if you plan to PvP in a competitive ship''
''Not enough things to do, AKA not enough sandboxy''
''Not deep enough''
''Very good combat but you can only get so much of that before you get tired''
So even though there seems to be more cons than pros, for some reason, I feel like the only way to clear my doubts is to buy the game but there is a certain fear that it will pull me away from EVE, I want to try, but I don't want to compromise.

Tried it, it's fun, but only about 10 different ships + 4 station models and ship fitting is a mess.
Basically it's like the original ELITE which was the initial inspiration for EVE. Only with better graphics.
My only beef is that they didn't yet implement player to player trade, or any ship bigger than a Crow... 
Other than that, I wanted ELITE and I got ELITE, I won't complain.

There are plans to add around 15 more ships to Elite with another one coming soon. Also I'm pretty sure ships like the Anaconda, Python and Type 9 are way bigger than a crow.
I'm kinda disappointed that we can't land on planets yet like in the old Elites. Hopefully that will be a feature in one of the expansions to the game.

ED's camera motion and lack of adhering to the 180 rule induced 3D nausia. Not interested after ~40 or so minutes of the experience. Fortunately CCP resolved that issue in Eve after about a year. |

You absolutely can't compare those two games, the only thing they share is Space.
Eve is built on a completely different fundament, where tactics and smartness are important.
Elite uses mechanical skill and has that "in-space" feeling, that EVE is "lacking" for most people.
Both games are good, but EVE still wins for me.

More or less what I was expecting. Been saving my "quid" for the time it becomes "more complete". It will eventually get much better (not that it is bad now from the general consensus I have perceived) but It seems from a total outsider perspective it still needs a long way to go to appeal to a much broader audience, in which I include myself.
EVE has spoiled me in that way. People and their "content generation". Doesnt seem E:D can give you that in this stage of the game-¦s lifespan.

Ill bump in here
Sensible criticism/questioning
Ive Betad E:D as an observer btw
'A huge grind (money wise) if you plan to PvP in a competitive ship''
This is a downside ? this is the same as anywhere in MMO land ive been - however im happy in elite to hang out in a local 'resource deposit' wait until someone turns red and pick off the bounty in a free ship. I think thats also familiar to certain MMO's.
Not enough things to do, AKA not enough sandboxy''
Minds your limit - but you do get stuck with AI more than certain other MMO's
"Not deep enough''
It just got released - and they have plans it seems. Expect NPC bounty/mission to increase i guess.
''Very good combat but you can only get so much of that before you get tired''
In its infancy - its going to get very hard once we're all 'on it' - venturing to anarchy will have as much depth as null for sure.
I like the twitch game - shoot me (please cause currently i twitch for 12 credits a lost ship and make lots more for each that tries)

Did you guys hear about the Elite Dangerous 1.2 Wings Update? There's a beta test build live in the ED launcher for all the people with beta access to play with.
One thing I always liked about EVE was the ability to form wings with your buddies and roam the space lanes together, always keeping in touch, sharing intel and warping/jumping into distant space as one. Now you can do that in Elite too! That's right! 1.2 Wings Update is bringing a lot of grouping perks into the game for the commanders to enjoy.
The -ú10.000 Race to Elite competition is also still up, last week 2 commanders claimed to have achieved Triple Elite status (trading, exploration and combat) Will one of them be the winner? Frontier is now checking the legitimacy of their achievements.

This update with the wing stuff should have been in the game since release. Would have made things a lot easier.
Vulture is interesting too. Little ship with big guns.

Yep, I agree. Being able to share bounty rewards with mates instead of having to target different enemies all the time to not steal kills would have made bounty hunting easier and more enjoyable from scratch.
Also some other things they're yet to implement like Alliance ranking system and ships (Federation and Empire ranks are there since launch and the Federal Dropship and Imperial Clipper are available to those faction's ranked pilots but theres nothing for Alliance) could have been there at launch but overall I'm very satisfied with the game and seeing the dedication and output of these guys I'm confident that everything Frontier promised to the backers will be ingame in due time.

I am waiting until they flesh out those E:D bones a bit. Specially with avatars. As for content... how was EVE in 2003?

i can;t comment on eve in 03 as i joined in 04, but after castor in 03 it got alot of new game play. On release eve lacked more then i think lvl 3 missions, and the biggest ship was a cruiser. Stuff was not fleshed out till after Castor.

For me I'd much rather see landing on planets be released before avatar stuff.
Landing on planets is one thing I miss that ED does not currently have but Frontier did.

Nobody said it is better. It is very empty of content at the moment, just for starters (a mile-wide lake one-inch deep, said someone). Yet also is a different game than EVE, an alternative if you want to, and unlike EVE it is starting up rather than struggle to not stagnate after 12 years doing the same.
Be them shorter or longer, Elite: Dangerous still haves its course ahead, whereas EVE is leaving its course behind.

The threat to EVE is not the current playerbase, not even the massive list of people who tried EVE and quit (they were in the tune of 9 million people in 2013). The treat is, are you looking for a mature, serious online space game? Which game is more appealing, EVE or Elite?
It is difficult to understand how fringe, how freakish, how bloody unsellable is EVE, compared to Elite, which is also fringe but hasn't grown old enough to become freakish and is quite easy to sell even in its barebone status.

No, ED wonGÇÖt kill eve on line as we are speaking about two completely different games.
Eve, has lot of contents but basically is a GÇ£click, click, clickGÇ¥ game, no strategy during fights, horrible fleet battles, and worst of the worst (for me), it doesnGÇÖt allow the player to fly his ships.
But every person is different, with a different taste.
Even if (and when) ED or SC will be fully developed, EVE on line will still exist, the GÇ£hardcoreGÇ¥ eve gamers are divided into three main groups:
 1- The superheroes: the group which sees his KB page as a bible, they donGÇÖt understand it is just an HTML page which doesnGÇÖt make them stronger or better in RL
 2- The rich ones: they play for rising isks, they feel rich, their eve account is richer that their bank account but they feel fulfilled anyway.
 3- The chatters: they play mostly because they have some friends, maybe playing in front of a cup of tea/coffe or ice cream while they do a sort of GÇ£public relationGÇ¥ in chat
 4- The gamers: they play eve like any other game, they arenGÇÖt hardcore, they might be part of one of the previous groups but arenGÇÖt so GÇ£motivatedGÇ¥.
I think ED might steel just some players from the 4th group, it might deliver what group 1,2 and 3 are looking as well with one exception:
In ED you NEED to learn how to fly your ship, is a simulation, eve is not, so itGÇÖs more difficult
I personally love the world of Eve, what I totally dislike it the absence of strategy (like the chance to divert the power of the ship to engines weapons or shield), positioning (during battles), eccGǪ eccGǪ you just have to click and enter F keys.
P.S. If someone is going to ask, my account is plexed with isks, that's why I am still an active player, will switch to Ed once is better developed . |
