Master OrionStarhunter, while your infomation is correct i dont think that is a very good comparison, its a OS, its used by billions of people and they are remaking it because alot of people think Vista is crap.
EVE Premium is not crap in anyway, the client is better then the classic client, apart from the higher requirments, and if CCP are only having to focus on fixing bugs in the Premium client rather then the Premium client and the Classic client they can fix bugs faster.
Again alot of people posting are playing EVE on a laptop, as i pointed out in the previous big thread about this, laptops are not built for gaming.
Especially as id like to point out that alot of you dont sound like your using Alienware laptops, which at the end of the day are the closest thing you can get to a gaming laptop.
I had an Aurora M9700, as soon as i got it i found it fast becoming out of date and unable to play some games, it also only lasted two years even being well looked after before it died (somthing blew out on the motherboard) because of the amount of strain video games put on laptop hardware, you just cant keep them cool.
I think people should be pleased that they have been able to keep playing EVE Classic for as long as they have, i think alot of video game development companies would have gotten rid of there old client as soon as they released a new one.
All i can say to people with laptops is, that is a shame, but because laptops arnt made for gaming it was bound to happen sooner or later :(
Im sure someone will reply saying "YOUR SO WRONG LAPTOPS ARE FOR GAMING" id like to ask that you provide some evidence, some dam good evidence so that we can have a good discussion, flaming gets no where :)
Also id like to point out that athe the fan fest CCP talk about a client with no 3D graphics, which will contain chat channels, market details, and skill sheets.
You can download the fanfest video from the video section (i think it is still up for download i cannot remeber which one it is i will try to find out later)
So prehaps we should start asking that CCP please work on this client they mentioned that will run on nearly anything by the sounds of it. 
i am totally for this graphicless client.
you can play your game on your crap pcs that are older than my PS1 and here's what you'll see. a few windows, text, and numbers, maybe a 3d x,y,z cordinate screen for movement in space, a wireframe version of asteroid fields if wireframe is even a necessity, and then a jam-packed overview stating even more numbers for distance to targets, angles of targets, angular velocity to targets and so on.
this way you can play eve and never have to use any graphics content at all.
i mean when it comes down to it, a lot of the players that are *****ing here fail to realize that the game started for 2 reasons. 1. cause people want something to play, and 2. its art that people want to look at. i play the game cause its fun and beautiful art. if you want something less, i recommend freelancer. When it comes down to it, if you take away the art, you get numbers and windows. if you want more, you practically have oldschool pc games.
if you cant afford a new pc, go get the generic food at the market, if your already doing that, and are still having trouble affording eve. you need a major lifestyle change cause you've put a game before your financial stability and that's not very smart. perhaps ccp is trying to make your life better. increased freetime in your life, more money in your pocket, and less stress about having to keep up with society's technological upgrades. good luck with that. |
