Hi all, I'm just getting back into EVE again after a 3 year layoff (played the beta and to the end of 2005), so I was wondering what the major EVE improvements/developments in the past 3 years have been.
I hear the game has improved a lot. so as a follow up: what do you like (or dislike) the most about the changes in the past 3 years?

Almost everything has changed gameplay wise and mostly for the better, but I CBA to list the changes. Open the features option on the left side and you can check all the big changes yourself. The game is still one big, deliciously morally ambiguous sandbox.
Invention is propably the best single feature added.

Thanks, reading the feature changes now.
So far, it looks like the best improvement for me was fixing that horrible lag issue they had 3 years ago that prevented many from playing (including myself).

damn, 3 years?
I'm going to have to take that sort of break from eve some day just to see what the game is like after all that time, must be kinda fun to see what has changed :)
Get a chance to use the new grpahics yet? It gives you a lot higher fps now, as it uses your GPU finally.
Also being gone so gone have you heard about this years expansions? ambulation? tech 3?

Ouch.
Have fun learning eve from scratch again.
No wait, i think the tracking formula stayed roughly the same. Not sure about that one though.
The only consistant feature in the last three years were the whiners.. ----------------------------------------------

Don't celebrate too soon We still have some issues from time to time but admittedly, not as bad as 3 years ago.

Fix'd
Considering the bandwidth requirement, the internet is not really all that responsible for it unless you have a 99.9% drop in speed on broadband. I've run Eve on a 56K dial up with only a little drop in performance.
I run classic client for that reason even though I have 3200+ dual core with 4gb ram and a 9800GT graphics. Even with that setup, I still get clientside lag from premium graphics, due primarily to the OS hogging resources rather than hardware. Pretty for carebears to look at but disaster for PVP.

Then you should probably just learn how to work your computer.

Hmm.. 2005.. RMR brought in supercaps, and early 2006 had the Soverignity changes if I recall right?
Most notable changes in 0.0 - Sov, POS mechanics, jumpbridges, titanbridges (you might want to check which alliances that doesn't have titans rather than who has them, now, etc).
Most notable changes in low sec - warp to zero. The addition of Faction Warfare.
Most notable changes in high sec - alot of small changes, like how war decs works, etc.
Most notable change overall - this isn't mentioned by players very often, but personally I feel this is a major change throughout the years: the new stargates that came out just over a month ago. It really makes things different when travelling in low-/null-sec or under a wardec.
Add the stargate changes, jumpbridges etc, to that with warp to zero, the easy access to implants nowadays and you basicly have next to all PvP action vs either; a) nubs b) in belts c) at POS.
There's alot or more things, but this should be the basics.

That was probably the best troll I have ever seen. I tip my hat to you good sir! How did you ever come up with it?
I mean, you saw my ticker, and then you just come up with the most incredible burn I have ever heard. I just can't fathom the kind of genius that could come up with something that amazing.

Worst change ever: you are not allowed anymore to load smaller tier missiles into launchers. That was an awesome feature. --------------------------------------------- Unclouded by conscience, remorse or delusions of morality. |
