... For a while.
Look, this is great and all... Admittedly I spend most of my time manufacturing stuff, mining a bit. Providing the Faction Warfare dudes with ships to blow up...
Then occasionally I'll run a level 4 in its entire monotony, Go here, Blow up these dudes, Get the damsel. Earn 10m, loot.. salvage.. Do it all again until it gets so boring I just log for the night.
PVP is okay but only for as long as I can afford it, I only fly cruisers but the cost stacks up...
EVE is nice, as far as space MMOs go.
But when CCP do incredibly daft things, then refuse to explain themselves.. or rather, just DELETE posts...
I start to doubt their motives a bit.
I kinda question what they're up to. Are we seriously going to have Hello Kitty Online in Space now?
Are we getting capitals out of High Sec because they "arent supposed to be there" or because we're afraid the noobs won't like to be near anything bigger than a raven?
As far as this logic goes, i'll tell you want isn't meant to be in High Sec.
Freighters, Jump Freighters, Suicide Ganking, Hulks that strip belts in 20 minutes, Command Ships, Stealth bombers, Can baiting in newbie systems.
All of these things aren't supposed to be in super-fuzzy-friendly 1.0 sec space, they pose threats or are overpowered for that area of space.
Not nearly as much threat as an Amarr Dreadnought with Mining Lasers fitted though. What the hell does that do except mine 'roids? If it does anything wrong, CONCORD will blow the shit out of it. Its quite simple.
By the way, since this decision is ignoring backstory, lets get that Titan out of Luminaire shall we? Those aren't supposed to be in High Sec because they apparently **** up the tides of any planets they're local to but it appears to be in High Sec anyway.
I'm not even going to go into the execution of the "Nano Nerf" or how Level 4s still haven't been addressed concerning risk/reward...

Come to think of it, I still have an active City of Villains subscription I share with my friends. Haven't picked that up in a while since it's a pile of ridiculously poor design, but at least the players can't build anything up just to get the shit kicked out of it for no reason.

Yeah. I'm seriously starting to think that I may need to find a new game.
I have a lot invested in Eve, but with the way they keep hurting players for no good reason...well, it's starting to look like I'm gonna lose that investment one way or the other in any case. --------

FYP
Someone actually made a wheel of nerf flash a few days ago, IIRC. cba to look for it (it'll turn up). I think hisec capitals were on it. ... No, that definitely can't be the reason. __________________________________ CCP, WTH?

I went back to WoW for a couple of months earlier this year - all I can is - don't.
All the things that made classic WoW a great game for me are, for the most part, gone. I could go on for a page about the hows and the whys, all I'll say though is that for a themepark not-completely-easymode raiding game I'm holding out for Aion (was going to try WAR but I'm stuck in Afghanistan atm and you can't really play most MMOs other than Eve with 3-4s lag). It doesn't help that everyone, without exception, that I raided with back when the game was new is gone now - it's like the AOL of MMOs, it feeds off noobs and when there are no more noobs their business model will collapse.
Of course I'll still play Eve - Eve is a great game in its own right and can be played with a light time commitment if you want to take a break :) ---

Well, not quite. A hi-sec cap isn't allowed to engage in any sort of combat, whether legal or not. Allegedly, Chribba's did.

You mean where someone tried to suicide him and got Concordokened? That's not engaging in combat. That's watching the other guy get Concordokened.

Sure, people can - other players - that's what makes the game great. Getting stuff randomly wiped by the developers is a little different though, no? __________________________________ CCP, WTH?

Oh i know, i'm like that too, and i do what i do when i do, but i'm saying there's no harm in leaving your stuff to rot somewhere.
I've seen ti countless times and even the strongheaded of us sometimes feel "nostalgic" and then realise "hey, i like it back here", before the "oh crap what did i do?!" sets in.
Like i said, no harm in leaving the stuff around and just cancelling subscription. It'll wait there, indefinetaly, and if you choose to return(or not), it's better to come to a full bay then an empty one.

Thanks for the link. this does look really interesting. Especially this "In Infinity, you are directly controlling your ships movements and weaponry in a twitch-based way, targeting your every movement. Your own skills and dexterity as a player make the difference, not a list of stats or skills on your character sheet!"
I do feel sometimes that this game is going down hill and people at ccp are moving away from what made eve great. Looking out for other space mmo's. But i have loads invested in eve and i wont be leaving any time soon

yeah I take breaks all the time (ok 2 times) and you can just come back later when maybe it gets good again. even if that's like 4 years.

don't expect to pilot interesting captial ships though. this sort of combat means you won't be able to really fly a capital ship.

Infinity poses a massive threat as the devs seem to have looked at what EVE players want, and put it into Infinity.
For example, Planetary Flight and being able to paint your ship.
Some players will jump on the twitch combat, newtonian physics and compliance to astrophysics. Sense of scale appears to be very good.
Oh, and judging by the concept art and renders... the ships aren't 80% Ugly design abominations either.

Which 2? Jumpgate is not even close to Infinity (Infinity is more like a combination of Jumpgate + EVE indeed), and otehr I can't think of. Anyway is a long time until nothing is released, so I'll be in EVE forawhile, but better CCP starts to wake up and actually evolve their engine and add real features + fixing stuff.
Also controlling your ship is win for me (and you will be able to control caps in Infinity, just will be a team effort to get them and probably fly them; like Titans here pretty much).

Originally by: Infinity FAQ What will the combat look like ? Twitch ? Point and click ?
Combats will be real-time, twitch (action) based, much like in a flight simulator or a first-person shooter. You will be in full control of your ship.

Personally I welcome twitch, rather than relying on your guns to track, its down to your ship and maneuvering it yourself. Battles could be oh so much more intense if you're actually flying your ship. Rather than just dithering around outside of it.

Infinity looks daft. Not to mention some of the game mechanics is gonna make me cry. Frigates can lose a wing and start spinning around...in space? That's just wrong. Durability on boosters and guns. This means that you gotta repair constantly when used, rof will be less favoured and alpha has more importance. This prolly leads to the Alpha of Doom like in EVE before the hp buff.
I didn't take my sweet time to notice regarding skills. Does it only improve when you are online like a grindfest or does it have a skilling system like EVE? If the first, then no can do. I hate a grind fest just to raise in the grades. EVE is more managable this way.

I'm not that interested in "Twitch based combat" for a space sim myself, just means my arthritic hands won't stand a chance at all, great fun knowing I'll loose every fight no matter what and the guy with the best mouse wins 
Also, surely it just means every fight will be a "Dogfight", two ships twirling around trying to get behind the other? If engage -> twirl -> shoot is more exciting than Engage -> keep your ranges, speeds, transversal correct -> shoot, all it means is you have to move the mouse more.

Fair point, i think its up to a persons opinion really. i really like EVE but i also enjoyed X3, Freelancer and Tacyon - The Fringe, they all allowed you to have decent dogfights using a joystick or mouse and keyboard. I like fighting that way but i also like EVE way. Sometimes, bit dull when you turn on guns and wait in eve.

The weapons damage over time. In EVE your gear gets damaged after a while as well. Same thing in Infinity.
Regarding skills. Infinity has no skill advancement because there are no skills. There are no feats, levels or classes. Everything is player skill. From the twitch based flying, to skill at finding asteroids and mining them, to skill in putting together a ship (yes, you will be able to build a ship made of glass in Infinity). Even docking and jumping to another star will require player skill.

Also, surely it just means every fight will be a "Dogfight", two ships twirling around trying to get behind the other? If engage -> twirl -> shoot is more exciting than Engage -> keep your ranges, speeds, transversal correct -> shoot, all it means is you have to move the mouse more.
Its strange. I tried out the combat pre-alpha prototype. Momentum is conserved during flying. So you can slam your thrusters in one direction, then spin your ship around on a dime and fire at your enemy while moving away from him. It makes it tricky to negotiate asteroids and it feels very strange, but when you get used to it its not bad at all.
Either way, ship combat is not the primary focus of Infinity. I think the developers are aiming for exploration to be one of the biggest features of the game, which is nice because the procedural universe allows exactly that. You can for example, look at the sky, point to a particular star in a distant nebula and say "that will be my new home". You can then travel there and make that your home if you want.

WAIT WAIT WAIT JUST A FRAKIN MINUTE. Seriously is it just me or did the OP pull the wool over the sheeps' eyes on this thread?
He says he makes stuff and does an occassional L4 mission? He says that he uses cruisers in FW and mentions that the cost of them stack up?
Did he SERIOUSLY mention the nano-nerf?! Did people not go "hey wtf is this guy talking about??" when reading the OP's message?
3 things I gotta point out that made me go "wtf?"
1.He says the costs of cruisers stacks up. He says he makes some stuff and does an L4 but didn't say he grinded L4s all week or was making t2 gear. It seems obvious that hes not because if he did then cruisers would be a joke to replace.
2.He mentions the nano-nerf in the SAME post he mentions how the costs of cruisers start to stack up. Is it just me or would the costs of cruisers be nothing compared to putting together nanoships? Does anyone believe hes got isk for nanoships but complains that cruisers are costly to lose??? Difference in the amount of isk needed, anyone???
3.He complains about the costs of cruisers stacking up but also mentions he does L4s. Yeah he didn't say where but if your building stuff,having a hard time covering the costs of cruisers and doing L4s, your not going to be in lowsec. WHY? The costs of replacing cruisers would be nothing compared to replacing BSes. Add in the fact that he said he is in FW meaning hes got a good amount of people that would have no problem probing him out in lowsec and popping him. The difference in rewards isn't enough for such a person to warrant doing low sec L4s. So if its highly unlikely hes doing them outside of empire, why the **** would he want to see L4s changed?? "how Level 4s still haven't been addressed concerning risk/reward..." Why would you want to get your source of income nerfed when your crying about cruisers?
Crying about capital ships not being allowed in empire space? If your group cant beat the hell out of a "carebear corp" with BSes then something is wrong. Would you really want to admit you need to roll capitals in order to win a war against fuzzy wuzzy carebears???
Dude, your stuff, i demandz it contracted to me now!
Thanks as for those that responded to this fail thread talking about wow and crap need their heads checked...or just go back to wow where it makes sense for ya.

Some players will jump on the twitch combat, newtonian physics and compliance to astrophysics. Sense of scale appears to be very good.
Oh, and judging by the concept art and renders... the ships aren't 80% Ugly design abominations either.
I'm not sure if this applies to you or not, but the developers of Infinity have made it clear the game will be anti-griefing and piracy itself will be a difficult profession. So those players looking to **** and crap on "the sandbox" are better off here, where they can somewhat still get away with it.

lol wut.
I don't fly Nano, don't participate in FW. I build and use Thorax's to Solo-PVP when the mood strikes and i build ships FOR the people that fly in FW, i say this because I ship a godly amount of Rifters from Nourvukaiken on a regular basis. I can only assume they're going to faction warfare with Tama next door.
I mentioned Level 4 balance and the Nano Nerf as points that CCP are having major issues with coherance, even though I run Level 4s... doesn't mean i think they're faultless.
Once again, not part of Faction Warfare. Kinda obvious since this is my main, I did have an alt i was going to train for FW, but I couldnt be bothered once i realised you can't train two chars at the same time on one account. Reprocessing that Alt was disturbing.
Your over-analysis is astounding, but Sherlock Holmes you aint.

Okay so your taking offense to the nano nerf even though you dont fly nanoships. For the most part you either flew it or you didnt, those that didn't for the most part hated them. I haven't heard many people say that they have a problem with the nanonerf if they don't fly them. I'm sure most of t hose that didn't really complain much didn't in order to avoid ****ing off corp mates and alliance members that were pronano.
Then again nanoships were broken. A lot of people will never admit that. But im sure 99.99% of them will chime in on how L4s are "broken" yet never come out with a decent argument against them.
So the question is how does someone have a problem with ccp fixing something that was CLEARLY broken like nanos but at the same time have a problem with L4s? Especially when theres no decent arguments supporting the idea that L4s are even broken.
clearly you are no Mr.Spock

EVE - the only place where 30 minutes of module lag is "working as intended" during the "epic space battle experience".

My girl and I were beta players. We were hoping for the next EQ (pre-pop style). Have a maxed out Cleric and Ranger there. It was fun for a little while, but pointless, exploit ridden PvP that doesn't matter at all in game gets old pretty fast. When they instanced APW it was the final straw for us. We didn't even try out the "come back for free" offer they had recently.

tbh that game look like a failure in the making. twitch based combat in a space game lolol fvcking terrible
that game certainly does not pose a threat to EVE in the least bit and CCP will continue to stomp all over other lame clones

Negative. Modules in EVE does not take damage unless you overheat them or get your ship blown up.
Are you seriously saying it's a space game involving pvp and drunken brawler flying with no skills, feats or ANYTHING at all to improve your character or spaceship? I do hope that's free to play, because it just sounds like Counterstrike in space...
