Baztah	Posted - 2008.01.18 17:57:00 - [1] Is this game like shadowbane where you'll find yourself constantly getting ganked by griefers?

Richard Phallus	Posted - 2008.01.18 18:01:00 - [3] Originally by: Baztah Is this game like shadowbane where you'll find yourself constantly getting ganked by griefers? You're just going to want to go and get someone to take a golf club and take a good swing at your nuts by surprise when you walk into a dark room some time. This will prepare you for PVP in Eve. --
Val Vympel	Posted - 2008.01.18 18:04:00 - [4] Originally by: Baztah Is this game like shadowbane where you'll find yourself constantly getting ganked by griefers? Like Shadowbane! Here in EVE we are filled to overflowing with "sweet buttery goodness" for each other. Cheers
Malcanis 5 finger discounteers	Posted - 2008.01.18 18:04:00 - [5] Originally by: Baztah Is this game like shadowbane where you'll find yourself constantly getting ganked by griefers? Rest assured, there is no griefing in EvE. Well... maybe a little bit. CONCORD provide consequences, not safety; only you can do that.

Lyria Skydancer Amarr Dark-Rising The Dawn of Darkness	Posted - 2008.01.18 18:21:00 - [7] Originally by: Baztah Is this game like shadowbane where you'll find yourself constantly getting ganked by griefers? Uhm, there are safe zones like in all pvp games ofc. You can live there all your life if you like. In pvp zones pvp is harsh compared to other pvp games. Your ship gets destroyed. You cant "ghost"-walk back to your corpse to get all your stuff or similar, much of it is destroyed and/or taken by the enemy. I like it this way. Its stupid to have deathpenalty like in WoW, oh noes i lost a gold when i died now, oh noes... ------------------------------------------- [Video]The Inquisition II - Vanguardian
Kirao	Posted - 2008.01.18 18:22:00 - [8] The only safe place in Eve is in an npc station. You can be attacked and killed anywhere else in the game.
Feilamya	Posted - 2008.01.18 18:23:00 - [9] Are trials allowed to post again or is this a troll attempt? -- The EVE checklist (Trinity version) [x] Insure your ships [x] Upgrade your clone [x] Backup boot.ini [x] Display images
Aceoil Murder-Death-Kill	Posted - 2008.01.18 18:24:00 - [10] Originally by: An Anarchyyt PvP? In my Eve!? It's more likely than you think.
Daelorn State War Academy	Posted - 2008.01.18 18:31:00 - [11] In EVE when you die all you have to do is find where you died and you'll get all your stuff back, although damaged a bit (You don't think you would die with no consequences did you?!) or you can respawn in the station with 25% damage to all your modules (Can get quite expensive!) Thats PVP in EVE...
Baztah	Posted - 2008.01.18 18:38:00 - [12] Originally by: Feilamya Are trials allowed to post again or is this a troll attempt? Uhm, actually this is a valid and legitimate question. Considering I haven't invested months of my time getting familiar with the game and I'm still on a trial period, I'm curious as to what the PVP is like before I convert to a paying customer. But thank you for your rude comments.
Grytok moon7empler Ev0ke	Posted - 2008.01.18 18:40:00 - [13] EvE = PvP Everywhere and everytime! You undock... be prepared to die . CCP gave us shiny new graphics. Too bad they removed Anti Aliasing for me :\
ProjectSeven Rulers Of Mankind Phalanx Alliance	Posted - 2008.01.18 18:41:00 - [14] in all fairness, you get a warning box that tells you if your going to do something to potentially kill you. Entering a .4 or lower, engaging another player, taking another person's loot...
Lord Evangelian Gallente LEAP Corp	Posted - 2008.01.18 18:42:00 - [15] Edited by: Lord Evangelian on 18/01/2008 18:42:31 Originally by: Baztah This game is like shadowbane where you'll find yourself constantly getting ganked by griefers, becuase I dont use my map, or I mine into a jetcan? This EDIT: I corrected it for you... --------------------
Grimpak Gallente Trinity Nova	Posted - 2008.01.18 18:44:00 - [16] Originally by: Baztah Is this game like shadowbane where you'll find yourself constantly getting ganked by griefers? This and this. Also keep this in mind. --- planetary interaction idea!
Nicole KholdStare Gallente Veto. Veto Corp	Posted - 2008.01.18 18:44:00 - [17] Ok serious answer: EVE is PVP. You are not save anywhere, except when docked. Death penalty can be quite harsh - if you fly something you can't afford to lose. It's harsh, it's fast, one mistake can cost you months of work and that's why it's so addicting. Of course, it's not everybody's cup of tea. Hope that helped.

Hmm, yeah probably not my cup of tea...I don't see how losing months of work can possibly ever be addicting...thanks for the straight answer.

Hmm, yeah probably not my cup of tea...I don't see how losing months of work can possibly ever be addicting...thanks for the straight answer. but think on this way: if you play safe (not flying what you cannot afford to replace, not being stupid and carry everything you have in a flimsy industrial), and play paranoid, one day, it will be you who'll be shooting the crap out of everyone. PvP in EVE is intense, mostly because it's non-consensual. You play stupid, you get killed. you play smart, you get kills Darwinism applied to games in it's full. --- planetary interaction idea!

MenanceWhite Amarr	Posted - 2008.01.18 18:59:00 - [24] How bad? Did you perhaps mean HOW GOOD? Also, this is not your standard YOU MUST GRIND FOR ADDITIONAL LEVELS/EQUIPS. With insurance added your avg pvp player looses somewhere less than 1 hour in carebear (so to say, lv4 missiongrinding) time when their ship gets blown up. Not D2 hardcore mode where your character disabled forever after you die. Which you seem to hint with those "months of grinding". You may return to your standard boring ass click and click mmorpg that you get so addicted in. (by the way, its about same as getting a work at some factory or something why don't I see newspapper articles about that us guy who died from exhaustion overworking in some factory with nothing forcing him?) --- Originally by: Torfi There's alot. That can be done. With.. corpses Originally by: Oveur

Lord Evangelian Gallente LEAP Corp	Posted - 2008.01.18 19:00:00 - [26] DONT Pyramid Quote, youll get Forumpwned. The PVP in eve is great end of story...I have played other MMOs, and I have to say EVE is teh only one that still excites me when I get into a PVP situation.... --------------------
fogWraith	Posted - 2008.01.18 19:00:00 - [27] Edited by: fogWraith on 18/01/2008 19:00:42 No, this is not like Shadowbane. If you don't go into low security or lawless systems you won't be attacked. If you are attacked in high security space, the police will come and wtfpwn the aggressor.
Grytok moon7empler Ev0ke	Posted - 2008.01.18 19:03:00 - [28] My first statement is true, but there is also little risk to loose something, if you follow a few simple rules. Learn them by asking people you come across, joining a corp etc and you're fine. . CCP gave us shiny new graphics. Too bad they removed Anti Aliasing for me :\

Hmm, yeah probably not my cup of tea...I don't see how losing months of work can possibly ever be addicting...thanks for the straight answer. As Grimpac said, play it safe and smart and you will find this game is a great deal of fun... I am a Carebear, I stay out of Low Sec Space, I don't mine to a jet can... I do everything I can to avoid the parts of the game I do not enjoy... but I find hours pass while I am doing what I do enjoy. Oh, and you really have to work at it to lose a month's worth of work, it takes acts of really extreme stupidity... but we do get to read about them when the person posts here on these forums... --------*****-------- It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face.
Grytok moon7empler Ev0ke	Posted - 2008.01.18 19:05:00 - [30] Edited by: Grytok on 18/01/2008 19:05:44 Originally by: fogWraith Edited by: fogWraith on 18/01/2008 19:00:42 No, this is not like Shadowbane. If you don't go into low security or lawless systems you won't be attacked. If you are attacked in high security space, the police will come and wtfpwn the aggressor. If he's carrying 2 Billion ISK in his shuttle, I'll blow him up in a 1.0 system and loot his wreck afterwards... so no, HighSec is not totally safe . CCP gave us shiny new graphics. Too bad they removed Anti Aliasing for me :\
