That newbies have low sociabilty or nothing to do besides some mission grinding is plain false.
That's a fail for the corp you were in - or yours if you didn't look for a decent corp.
Lag - not nearly as universal as some whiners here make it sound like. I've been playing for > 5 years and suffered from real bad lag only on a few occasions. Avoid Jita (fairly easy - I'm almost never there). Lag is rare in my experience except in fairly large fleet engagements and even then it don't matter so much if you loose your ship due to lag or just being primaried.
All big games suffer from lag - even those that offer less than Eve. At the end of the day - fleets get as large as the servers can handle - so the biggest engagements will always have lag. Used to be 30 ships - now it's 300.

Originally by: Zephyr Rengate
Originally by: Gonada the real problem is Warcraft and the like.
ya, I said it.
warcraft has hand held and coddles 10 million gamers out there, and thats what they expect in every game now.
coincidentally thats why there are so many whines nowdays on these boards, and on every mmorpg: wow kiddies are so used to being safe, and led that they have no will to change. and therefore everything is not fair, too hard and needs a nerf.
Wow is a better game then eve, the numbers proove it.
This is the common misconception that if a lot of people like something that somehow proves that it is better.
If a lot of people like something, the more popular it is. How something adds up to you as good or bad is an opinion.
In my opinion, WoW is popular because it is so easy to the point where almost any age group can play it, they made it accessible across the globe(for the most part), it already had a fan base from the other Warcraft games, which were a successful bunch, and it was polished amongst a few other things I can't think of off the top of my head.
You see, that was an opinion based off actual thought as opposed to saying it is better simply because more people play it.

Earth and Beyond and SWG were the closest competitors to EVE I think, but E&B was shut down and SWG was ruined by developers.
Stargate Worlds and Star Trek Online could take forever to be released and probably won't be much like EVE.
Jumpgate Evolution's shooter concept looked promising but the ships didn't look that great and their "leaked" video was way too cheesy. On the plus side, they can look at EVE's mistakes (the UI, database that can't use multiple cores) and avoid them.

Originally by: Vaal Erit New players do not get thrown into massive 0.0/FW blobs against their will. YOU have to seek them out, join them and then knowingly commit.
I see a lot of lag complaing in FW blobs and you know what, IT ISN'T LAG! Turn down your settings and gimp your overview and turn off brackets. You think most computers can handle 100-200 trinity graphics ships all firing and moving with shadows and bloom and shit enabled?
EVE is what you make of it, joining a 0.0/FW blob and saying you are experience the PvP side of EVE is false.
actually u re wrong here Is the "overview" while in a station either it is Jita or someplace near Black Rise region getting flooded when i click on the fitting tab for example? i highly doubt that if that's what u say :) it's not just tweaking , it IS server side too. It just cant handle that big fleets iguess. About the last sentence u re right , ofc i haven't experienced the pvp side of EVE at all. The lag wont let me :) I m also a casual gamer. because of work i only have 2 hours gametime , i expect the serverto be able to handle the pressure that time but it cant as its always the times the nourv/tama X spams start ;) --------------------------- If u re looking for a signature u wont find any :) |
