SINKFIST	Posted - 2006.06.16 03:19:00 - [1] Edited by: SINKFIST on 16/06/2006 03:21:35 Edited by: SINKFIST on 16/06/2006 03:21:10 This game is way way way too drawn out... Take forever just to get goni then all there is after that is lame gate jumps not thrusters and really lame autopilot. I mean come on... autopilot fighting? how *** is that. I have never been so bored in a game...EVER Dont get me wrong the graphics arent bad but not near as good as it portrays to be. The Jumpgate transition is stupid, you would think that it would at least line you up properly. Plus haha ...it allows you to fliy right through planets and spacestations. At least freelancer keeps the physics realistic. And way less texture clipping. You can freeflight whenever you like, especially in a fight. I cant believe how bad this game has dissapointed me. A word of advice to the creators... Less clipping,realistic dock sequences,freeflight ability, and please please please make it so you can actually fight, because the fighting is weak.

When you learn to fight more, you'll learn about adjusting ranges, power management, etc. watch some of the eve vids for what you will actually see in the future. edit: the planet thingy? do you know what it would entail to have a game move you around a planet? it'd put a huge load on the servers. jumpgates? it's the same concept as in other games like freespace. -
Raven Aure	Posted - 2006.06.16 03:25:00 - [5] I'm sorry, but you're seeing EVE as something it's not. If you want freelancer then play freelancer. I play EVE because I really do enjoy it.

SINKFIST	Posted - 2006.06.16 03:26:00 - [6] well the thing is, If you were to play this game for a year then it would be a $240.00 game That is a rippoff... seeing how it limits your ability to do anything interesting.

SINKFIST	Posted - 2006.06.16 03:29:00 - [11] Edited by: SINKFIST on 16/06/2006 03:30:13 Adjusting ranges and all that is part of what i like, but you have to rely on autopilot too much... And have you played freelancer?... of so then you should see what i mean. You come up to the side of the gate and then just disapear and it shows no travel in between...
Jor Azmeh	Posted - 2006.06.16 03:30:00 - [12] Originally by: SINKFIST Adjusting ranges and all that is part of what i like, but you have to rely on autopilot too much... for your post above this, you have to pay to play. don't like it? Then don't play. autopilot is to elp you navigate long runs, after all it is a galaxy. there is no combat autopilot. If you're referring to orbiting, then get yourself a missile boat or sniping tempest (it takes a little time) and sit back and push F1, F2, etc. -

SINKFIST	Posted - 2006.06.16 03:40:00 - [17] Sorry... but sitting back and pressing F1 or F2 sounds really boring. There is no skill required to play this game. Just a lot of usless time spent by someone who has nothuin better to do. I like to jump in a game undock kill or whatever and then leave if i wish. But 4 1/2 hrs to wait while my character learns a skill just so he can get in his ship is a waste of time. The game is merely a time killer not a test of abilty/hand eye co-ordination but a test of laziness. You just have to spend hrs and hrs gettin what you want then you can sitt around and brag about what you got. Thats all i can see this game for. ( a 3d chat room).

Ok your right about that one...But it is funner to ***** about it than is is too play the game... I mean really in the last 5min i jsut had more fun than i did in the last 5 days of playing this game.. I played relentlessly hopin that it would change after the tutorial but i was wrong.

Feyt	Posted - 2006.06.16 04:03:00 - [28] You must really suck at this game. Not only that but have so little to do you just want to honk about it. 1. You dont have to sit and do nothing while training. You can go do whatever yr capable of doing. 2. This isnt a flight sim, its a MMO. The flight model might be basic, but trust me get in a big enough fight and you'll be happy with the fact that your not having to calculate delta V and relative inclinations. 3. Eve is not a race to lvl 60. If you focus on nothing but training skills you bound to get bored. 4. just want to undock and kill stuff? the just undock and kill stuff. Get in a ship, fly to yr nearest belt and go hunt down rats, or better yet, settle inj a low sec system and get shot to bits by player pirates. Strikes me the limitation here isnt the game.... but your mindset.
Righteous Fury	Posted - 2006.06.16 04:08:00 - [29] Please do quit, its quite obvious you're not up to the mental caliber that the rest of us are gifted with. We don't want you.
Fierce Deity	Posted - 2006.06.16 04:21:00 - [30] i have to agree with the above you sound like an instant gratification type. there is no such thing as an "auto pilot fight". i generally fly in all sorts of random directions while fighting to figure out what range the person can't hit me at. this game isn't freelancer, thank the gods nor is freelancer anywhere near realistic. you can't fly planet to planet in 10 mins the gravity of the 2 would rip each other apart/slam into the bigger planet. in eve if you fly planet to planet it would take months as it should. as for flying through planets there is some thechy talk as too how it's possible to do so. somshyte like opening a warpfield actually pulls you into a sort of subspace in which you don't interact with normal space. i try not to think about it it sounds to trekky. all in all i don't think you played the game at all. if you wanna undock and fight then do so, just don't expect to be a solo pwn wagon in 10 days. ------FD------ Recruiting: Hera Star
Lorette	Posted - 2006.06.16 04:21:00 - [31] I think many of you forgot what it used to be like on your first day....tbqfh i felt EXACTLY the same as sinkfist on my first day or two, i had previously played freelancer and wasnt to fond of the click and move flying. Combat seemed stupid and i really wasnt having much fun, still i stuck it out, started on some lv1 kill missions. Basically the longer i played the more fun i started having. That first intro into the game isnt very flattering for EVE and its why only the minority stay and find out how fun EVE really is... All i can say is (if your on a 14 day trial) stick it out till the end and then make your decision, combat gets alot more fun once you get into cruisers+ and take on the harder stuff.

You just have to spend hrs and hrs gettin what you want then you can sitt around and brag about what you got. Thats all i can see this game for. ( a 3d chat room). I'll agree with this somewhat, eve is not an FPS. It does not reward people that are inherently better at common games. Is it meant to be an FPS and reward people in this way? No. I was an avid battlefield 2 player before Eve and have excelled in all FPS games due to my hand eye coordination, sneakiness, and perhaps just natural ability. That is not the case in Eve. I come into eve with a large disadvantage compared to the veterans. But its different, and thats what I like. I like running complexes with my buddies, ratting, the politics, the always changing and somewhat effed up market (especially T2), and the thoughts of the future. When I want to go get some instant gratification I go "BOOM HEADSHOT" some people in BF2, fly my chopper, etc. When I have a few more skills in eve, I might be able to satiate my PvP needs here, but as for now I have battlefield as my 'PvP' outlet. I have no sig, because I can't compress my picture down that far. It looks like crapola.
Brastagi	Posted - 2006.06.16 05:09:00 - [36] Edited by: Brastagi on 16/06/2006 05:10:36 The OP reminds me of a guy when I was in newbies corp. He was ranting in corp chat how the game sucks and paying the fees is ripped. Of course he got flamed. But after almost two weeks and I was about to join a player corp. I see him lately to be less ranting and start enjoying the game!! For me the game start to get fun in my first two-three month because I get involved in my first corp war! Pure adrenalin (You lose your ship, YOU REALLY LOSE IT... oh and implants also). Although I do really hope I can use FPS control for my ship for battle. In case of realistic docking sequence, you ever try to think how that will be possible for a station that has high traffic such as Jita? --------- In memory of Ghossen
Wrayeth	Posted - 2006.06.16 05:25:00 - [37] To the OP: free-flight ability is in game. Just double click the direction you want your ship to move, and it'll move in that direction. Double click another direction, and it'll turn to move that way. -Wrayeth "Look, pa! I just contributed absolutely nothing to this thread!"

I dunno about you, but I pay 133 dollar and I consider that price cheap!! And definitely worth the money! Besides your post stinks. Too much crap in it. Its like this. If you like it fantastic, play the game! If not, join WoW where you can play with elves and trolls swinging haxmaster +12 lightsabers or whatever. Lets take point 1. Spaceship navigation. As in real life, you cant steer a spaceship as a car. You have to plot a destination. The speed is simply too high to have free control. Noone in their right mind would take control of a spaceship manually. They would be doomed to death!! Remember, you have to plot cource trugh astrobelt fields, space trash and other stuff. Like other ships etc. When it comes to warp its also easy. Warp speed opens a passage in the space. It can take you thru items like planets, if it have long enough initiate warping distance. Besides, theres no warping in real life, so we dont really know how it will work. But considering how Warping would suppose to be, the current warping is not impossible. Actually the only thing I would have liked to see from your post is docking and undocking sequenses. To see your ship take of from the landing pod, and enter space. That would be cool. But then, I would not say the game suck because it lacks this! Specially since its not a neccesary thing, and there are other things i would rather see in this game before that. Like Factional Warfare
BAltPoster	Posted - 2006.06.16 06:32:00 - [42] Some people like the intense FPS, some the RTS, and some like something in between. Some need action all the time, acting on instinct. Some like a more behind the scenes or thinking role. Some like combat that allows them some time to think more of what they are going to do, like a starship commander. You obviously, like to be the "grunt". So go do that, and have fun. This game doesn't appear to be for you.
duckmonster	Posted - 2006.06.16 06:50:00 - [43] Edited by: duckmonster on 16/06/2006 06:51:25 edit: God damn it, I lost the top of this post :( I'll reconstruct it now! Imediately your interceptors warps in, and they know what they have to do. Your 3 interceptors immediately "tackle" the battleships. one on each, circling so fast that they cant hit the little interceptors, but unable to warp out due to the warp disruptors and stasis webs. "WARP IN AT YOUR OPTIMALS" orders the commander. And in warps your gang of cruisers and battlecruisers. The fleet commander orders "PRIMARY TARGET IS THE SCORPION". Its urgent he dies first, because he can stop the interceptors and free the enemy from their grip. Fifteen grueling seconds later, the scorpion is dead. Alas, one of your cruisers is down. Not a bad trade however. 10mil cruiser for a 70mil scorp with 30mil fittings. "RAVEN 1 IS PRIMARY RAVEN 2 IS SECONDARY". Your ships open fire, taking both ravens out one at a time. Finally you notice the interceptors have captured the 3 escape pods. "TAKE NO PRISONERS" the commander orders, and 3 enemy pod pilots are sent to an early grave and valhalla. The end result? You lose 3 cruisers and an interceptor. They lose 3 battleships. When the costs of replacements are compared, a stunning victory. The whole process from initial contact, to the chase, the hunt, the tense standoff, and the final gory showdown, can take an hour or more. This isnt a quick game, its a slow calculated process leading to a fast and violent outcome. Its said war is 99% waiting and 1% sheer terror. So it is with eve. And the battles mean something. That scorpion might be the enemys first, and he's spent 4 months in training for it, and 1 month saving for it. I cant begin to express how insane that first "hairy" battleship engagement really is. I guarantee you'll want a tea and a lie down after it. When you lose it , man does it bite. Consequently, you'll make ever minute in it planned and meticulous. Seriously , this game wont offer the instant gratification of many, infact even most games, but oh my god, when it heats up the game is wild. I've been in fleet battles with roughly 200 per side, where the verry existance of your corp is at threat due to a hostile take over attempt. And man, you can almost feel your heart popping out of its socket. When it happens its sheer madness (with a dollop of lag thrown in). Give this game a real try. It really is space chess, but its not boring once you get into it. But if you just want a quick shoot em up, you can probably pick up counter strike really cheap at a good game shop that stocks old titles. And hey, if you prefer freelancer, no one here is saying its a bad game. Its just not eve.
Jenny Spitfire	Posted - 2006.06.16 06:58:00 - [44] /signed EvE is just not for everyone. The cancel button is on your left. Should move your subscription to games like Star Wars Galaxies or whatever.

Kamikazi Atlas	Posted - 2006.06.16 06:59:00 - [45] Edited by: Kamikazi Atlas on 16/06/2006 07:00:57 Edited by: Kamikazi Atlas on 16/06/2006 07:00:20 You seem to keep comparing Eve to Freelancer a lot, let me continue Freelancer cost ú30 and had a long drawn out repetitive storyline that lasted all of 20 days, then I got bored Eve costs ú8 a month and has lasted me over 2 years now. Its very open ended and if you get bored with one thing, go do another thing. So Eve has cost me ú192 per year, how many single player games would you have bought in that time (please, no warez crap). And also how many people would you meet in 2 years in a single player game.
Kendar	Posted - 2006.06.16 07:08:00 - [46] Well ive played Eve for 3 years now and i find it rather entertaining and the combat i love Guess this proves the game is not for kids looking for a fast pased fps type game So byebye fisty go try wow or somthing i think that might be more of what you look for

Twilight Moon	Posted - 2006.06.16 07:33:00 - [49] Originally by: SINKFIST But 4 1/2 hrs to wait while my character learns a skill just so he can get in his ship is a waste of time.

You just have to spend hrs and hrs gettin what you want then you can sitt around and brag about what you got. Thats all i can see this game for. ( a 3d chat room). Sounds like all MMORPG's to me. You grind, you get something shiny, you show it off, then someone comes along and kills you. The difference between EVE and the rest is that if someone kills you, you dont get your shiny toy back.....oh, and its a game that discourages time wasting teenagers from playing. Signature Remove, not Eve related. -ReverendM ([email protected]) "But...it was Monty Python! You Dev's are souless!!" - Twilight Moon
Rick Dentill	Posted - 2006.06.16 07:34:00 - [50] I have to disagree with you saying there is no skill/ability involved in the game. Indeed EVE is not one of those "twitch" games where its the guy who keeps his hands steadiest and clicks fastest. Though imagine there have been times when the one who got F1 in first won . However EVE has alot to do with skill. For combat - what to fit, when to fight, who to fight etc etc, all of thse are not preprogrammed. Trading - Sure there are the npc trade routes which can be lucrative and remain, however atleast these are not static, if you overuse it, the price changes, forcing you to move on for a while. Player trading, there is a great deal of skill involved I know people who make billions doing it, but me I just dont have the head for it. Mining - OK so largely this is monotony, but maybe go try mining in low sec, then you are testing more than your patience. Industry - Sort of between mining and trading. Choosing what to make and what to sell when and where is important if you want to make the big bucks. So to conclude, EVE requires you to use your mind, something that is not for everyone. If you don't like that, sorry to see you go. Well mostly, whinning in Forum for entertainment as you put it, does not endear you very much. _______ http://x-universe.kiwi.nu/page.php?id=dd
The Hand	Posted - 2006.06.16 07:34:00 - [51] Ok i have a realy good idea for you to make your experience with eve better. Press Alt-f4 go to start, then control panel, then add and remove programs, select eve and uninstall, then re install wow and leave us in peace. kthx.

Gariuys	Posted - 2006.06.16 07:42:00 - [54] Instead of flaming, I really would like to see the question answered. what's the point of this thread?? What I tend to do if I don't like a game, is either return it, if ft's cause it's crap, or just stop playing if it just ain't what i was looking for exactly ( I'm weird like that ) What I don't do is go on forums and tell all the other players of that game that it sucks, cause apparently we do like it, or we wouldn't be here. we would quit...
Aodha Khan	Posted - 2006.06.16 07:49:00 - [55] To the OP. You view of Eve shows that you have completely failed to understand its complexity and it's open ended virtual world concept. I would recommened WoW which was designed with simpletons in mind. So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak.
Erebus Ganmar	Posted - 2006.06.16 07:52:00 - [56] Why not join a player corp? They can help you develop your character, and get the most out of the game. Failing that, go join Goonswarm. You'll soon start thinking about what your doing after your 38000th visit to the cloning station! While it is divine to soar like an eagle, weasels don't get sucked into jet engines

vacillis	Posted - 2006.06.16 08:51:00 - [60] And have you played freelancer?... BY SINKFIST yes mate i have played freelancer, i used to have my own copy and in all honesty there is no way it can stand up to the sheeer size and depth which eve posesses. my copy of freelancer got sold when i purchased eve as i found it too restrictive compared to eve which lets you go anywhere you want whenever you want. if you prefer freelancer then that is fine, we can not account for taste but please do not come onto the eve forums running the game down. if you dont like it, dont play it. its as simple as that. so please stop youre whining and let the rest of us who have tast enjoy the game for what it truly is ..EPIC !

And have you played freelancer?... of so then you should see what i mean. You come up to the side of the gate and then just disapear and it shows no travel in between... Yeah. And Freelancer, while being well designed in general, managed to take out any kind of fun within two minutes after the realization that whatever better ship I buy, it will be offset by the game adjusting the enemies to exactly the level I am at. Amazing how they managed to fsck that up. p.s. thanks - I finally have a signature "At least freelancer keeps the physics realistic." -- SINKFIST
Erik Pathfinder	Posted - 2006.06.16 08:59:00 - [63] Oh yeah, those freelancer solar systems were so darn realistic ---------------

Riho	Posted - 2006.06.16 09:00:00 - [66] Originally by: SINKFIST Sorry... but sitting back and pressing F1 or F2 sounds really boring. There is no skill required to play this game. Just a lot of usless time spent by someone who has nothuin better to do. I like to jump in a game undock kill or whatever and then leave if i wish. But 4 1/2 hrs to wait while my character learns a skill just so he can get in his ship is a waste of time. The game is merely a time killer not a test of abilty/hand eye co-ordination but a test of laziness. You just have to spend hrs and hrs gettin what you want then you can sitt around and brag about what you got. Thats all i can see this game for. ( a 3d chat room). think you should see games like WoW then :/ u can be combat efficent ina frig and killing ppl in 2-3 weeks :) and noobody really uses orbit or whatever in afight... ofc when its a sure kill and the enemy cant do enything enymore.. then yea.. but mostly when i fight i use my mouse to guide me in combat :P eve skill system is the best imo.. especcially for ppl who have life... works, school or even both. u can be logged 24/7 to exp and get lvls or whatever. and the time sink... at the start.. skills take quite a long time to train.. but when u have played for 3-4 months u can do them very fast.. get learning skills up... then when u have some spare money, buy implants :D the more u lear.. the more options are presented to u... can fly more ships. can do more stuff :)

Take forever just to get goni then all there is after that is lame gate jumps not thrusters and really lame autopilot. I mean come on... autopilot fighting? how *** is that. I have never been so bored in a game...EVER Dont get me wrong the graphics arent bad but not near as good as it portrays to be. The Jumpgate transition is stupid, you would think that it would at least line you up properly. Plus haha ...it allows you to fliy right through planets and spacestations. At least freelancer keeps the physics realistic. And way less texture clipping. You can freeflight whenever you like, especially in a fight. I cant believe how bad this game has dissapointed me. A word of advice to the creators... Less clipping,realistic dock sequences,freeflight ability, and please please please make it so you can actually fight, because the fighting is weak. Freelancer and physics LMAO. If you want to feel free flight use I-War, that had Physics. I used to play them all, but eve is a lot more tactical and i like that above spinning around while firing, more wasnt even freelancer --------------------------------------- Member of UU : Diplomatic Corps

GuntiNDDS	Posted - 2006.06.16 11:18:00 - [77] well, eve is not a space-fight simulation game, but an mmorpg in space. instead of pushing gamepad buttons in rappid succession, you rely on your attributes, skills and fittings and try to optimize thoose for various situations. i played quite some other mmorpgs before and none had the depth and complexity of eve. i happily pay a little bit more for this since i do not need any other games anymore.
