WH's sucks, if I want to wait/look even more I might as well play chess against Earle, to be fair though, Leo is more fun than eve pvp, my opinion anyway. Wait, you want the reason finding fights in WH space is hard brought to Null because.....????? Single-Shard, Player Driven Sandbox. 5 words. That's what makes it special in my eyes.

HA HA Ha HEE HE HAW HOO HAH EHE AHA AAH HEE HEE HAW HAW AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA Yeah, no. If you can't catch people without local, and can't catch them with Local, maybe the presence or absence of local isn't the source of your difficulties. Single-Shard, Player Driven Sandbox. 5 words.

Become an FC, any moron can do it. I know plenty. Oh god. I just liked a met worst post. Fuck me for reading the content before looking at the author. But yeah, EvE PvP is real people interacting. There are 4 types of fights anywhere: 1) Both sides are aware of each other 2) One side ambushes the other 3) Neither side are aware of the other 4) Duels 1) Happens when there's something (a timer, tackled Carrier, whatever) to fight over, or if one side brings in a little of 2) by hiding its power. 2) Happens a lot as well, but you have to work to make it happen for you. 3) Results in some awesome GFs. Had one where a gang roamed into a staging fleet. Both were surprised. 4) Can be fun You seem to want type 2 fights, you're going to need to put the work in to ambush someone. If you want type 1 fights, you're going to need to put the work in and start a timer. Type 3, you can't predict. Type 4, you got RvB (one giant duel with sub-duels available), corp mates, etc. In other words, you gotta put the work in. Or just poke around and don't avoid people's attempt to spring type 2) fights on you. Single-Shard, Player Driven Sandbox. 5 words. That's what makes it special in my eyes.
RubyPorto Profoundly Disturbed RED.Legion 1309	Posted - 2012.01.28 06:29:00 - [5] - Quote 2bhammered wrote: yer mammy wrote: you're obviously not looking to be convinced eve is fun. every game runs its course and becomes boring after a while to someone. games are most fun when we're still learning and discovering. once you stop being stimulated in that way, the reaction is 'game stupid/boring. i quit!' instead of making a thread for attention, most people just move on. i'd say if it took 10 years to finally become bored of the game, CCP did pretty well. not almost 10 years, more like 3 in total to be honest. I agree somewhat with you but I also do not agree, some games I know are still fun even playing them for 10 years. Or they were fun enough I was happy when I left. Also I did not ask for my attention with this post as much as I wanted attention to the fact (yes I know.. opinion) that EvE Online is boring. Also I wanted to ask why it became boring, did CCP do something wrong in game design over last years or is the game just too old that most veterans such as I have left or is it something else? I was going to put a "like" on your post until you accused me of being a rage quitter/troll/attention seeker instead of getting the point of my OP. It's not boring to me. There are aspects which I do find boring, but I avoid those aspects. Eve is pretty good at allowing me to avoid those aspects. Single-Shard, Player Driven Sandbox. 5 words.

You said D&D and Wet Dreams are more fun than EvE. I find that my Wet Dreams are pretty enjoyable and, assuming that you felt the same about said Wet Dreams, drew the conclusion that you also found D&D enjoyable.

Sorry I was not clear enough, I do not have wetdreams since I have sex and I find D&D with pen and paper to be extremly boring but still both activites is and would be more fun than a night of playing EvE Online. I do forgive you though On a positive note, at least when I am not the FC I can just do other things like cleaning my house and IF a fight happens I will hear it thanks to mumble or TS. Problem now is I figured out is even better ifI just don't turn on EVE at all and just play something else or watch movies etc. Oooh, the big bad EvE player with his ____friend (who am I to assume or judge). I haven't noticed that an active sex life affects my rate of wet dreams (though I can't be sure, the lipstick smudges are a new feature). Single-Shard, Player Driven Sandbox. 5 words.

Have fun scanning... every ...f-cking ...system ...all the time. You won't be playing EVE anymore, you'll be playing Scan Probe online. Miners will have an advantage because all they need is to post cloaky scouts on the gates - so they will see you coming long before you even know they're there. PVP will be restricted to station and gate camping only. That what you want? Remove local but give me a specialised ship with sweep radar that gives me range, bearing and azimuth to n au. Maybe even throw in a nice audible ping (only heard with an installed mod on a specialised ship) for the residents and they can hunt each other down. Options: Anoms/Sigs/Belts distort the ping so you can't hear it. (kills off bots - even if they heard it, can a botscript detect sound?) Station mod detects ping and broadcasts audible sig to all blue. Range needs to improve to affect a stronger signal to get a lock. On lock, throw in a bubble probe that hones in on target and deploys on contact. I could go on. I'm getting excited just thinkin' about it. Gotta be better than docking/logging/safeing as soon as local wobbles a bit. So local-level intel, but only for the invaders? Single-Shard, Player Driven Sandbox. 5 words.
