The games like 25GB and noones gonna wanna download that to play the trial and even if they make the trial a small area, noones gonna wanna download the game once they've finished it. It's like i gave my mate one of my buddy keys and he made a account and then went to download it and he said it takes too long and he couldn't be bothered and then just resubbed up to WOW instead.

take atleast some of the  DL time outa it...

Probably By leting the Coders Make Tools that they wernt allowed to make Befor...

That said the game looks better on my PC and Ive turrened up the Bling a little, and runs Way better now.

And most of the Zone Chunks are Gone to Greatly Reduced.

The penalty could for example be to spawn you at a random star. Trying to get across the galaxy to rejoin the fight with all the hostiles in those occupying thosesystems would certainly test your PvP skills. I am sure you can think up some other mechanisms that would be just as fun.  The penalty atm is so harsh that it kills pvp rather than promotes it. Read some of the other posts you will see countless players sayiong they enjoyed the game but quit because they couldnt afford the ships due to endless hours spent farming to buy and equip a new one.

Eve is Fine. You are NOT. Good Day.

You Should be able to Run it. Like they said Turn off all the Bells and keep the Rez Down, and you Should be fine.. that said they are Suposed to be makeing the Trial Island if you can wait give it a shot on that.

Oh and if you can Stand it, Turn off the Sound.

well let me give you an idea of my playstyle from 'other' mmo'.

I like playing the melee/tank type (paladin/warrior/rogue)

Not so much into ranged effects (rangers/mages/etc)

 

However I like the idea of using missles vs guns, and ranged vs close combat. Can shields and armor be used together? Regarding missions, I'm aware that the early ones are easy enough to be done solo, but what about the later ones? Any missions better to take that others? Course I'm sure I'll be finding out most of this soon enough.

And not only did I get EVEMon installed, I actually used the svn repository and built my own .exe. At least I'm capable of doing something on my own. 

Thanks for the insight though.

*additional*

When it comes to picking the attribute disbursment, which should I go with? Should I dump all 5 pts in one or spread evenly?

+++

And as I'm moving on through the build, even more choices. OMG!

What I have at this point is a Caldari Soldier

Just a Fair warning Carisma is by far the Most useless stat of them all.

Takeing a Char with 3 Char is about the most Inportant Advise i can give you. There are a few skills that need it butnot Nearly as many skills that you will get a beenafit from having a high Percep/Willpwoer(Combat) and Int/Wisdom(Indust/Trade/research). You will want to train a few points in Char down the line but you can get a +4 Implant for less than ANY other +3 Implant.

A Even Spread of Skills tho Is not a bad thing (Cept for Char), It will let you be a Jack of all trades(Not a goodthing Early on)

I have 2 alts Both are about a year and a half old. One has 22 Million Sp, the other 18 Mill.

My Main just toped 30 Millionand is Over 2 years old.

The Learning Skills ARE that Inportant.(Just dont train them all at once unless its on a ALT it will Drive you mad....

Asfar as tanking Goes there are 3 layers to your Ship. Shields, Armor, Structure. Shields and Armor can Both be used to Tank. Useing Both for tanking IS posable on some ships, But it will Gimp the hell outa it.(I.E. No Guns or anything to hold them in place Dammage Mods ect.) There is NOTHING that can Draw aggro away from someone, Player/Npc. But there is ECM's and Other Ewar. If you Like Missles and Shields than Go Caldari, Just rember that If you dont like a race it Might not be best to restart it. ALL Races get to use Guns Missles and Drones(Tho not every ship and all Verring lvls of use) and every ship gets a Bonus from thing like Shield/Armor tanking training and Nav skills.

Best advise is to give it all a little Try While your still in Frigets. then Learn to Fly and Shoot Well with it.

My alt was Dooing lvl 3 Missions in a Assult Ship in 2 Months of training (After the Month and a half of training ALL the Adv Learning skills to 4..) So 3 Months W/o Learning skills? She is Now Useing it VERRY Well with all T2 Equipment. Hell if i wanted i could train her for Heavy Assult Ships. She can allready use the Guns/Missles/Drones for the Thing.

Most Inportant thing to Rember is to WIN the fight you MUST be the One to set the Rules of the Fight.

NO building a ship that can do Short-Long range combat, all Short or ALL Long range, If Short Use a AB/MWD or Even on a longrange settup long. If Longrange Dont be fearfull of Running the other way to keep him Flying at you.

And rember its Scarry in Eve, Be VERRY carefull of who you Trust, and if you make friends Cling to them with one hand and keep a Cocked Blaster in the other. CCP has Made No Seceret that EvE is NOT a Simulation fo a Dark Gritty Place, It IS A DARK SCARRY PLACE. Full of Nights in Armor and Pirates Waiting to Stab you in the back. And thats just the Ship side. Things get REALLY Ugly where Money and Markets are Involved.

BEST RULE FOR EVE, If you cant Replace it DONT use it!

Good Lord...Thats a long A'word Post....

Just read the article, and this game seems fun, but just one question......do you have to pvp or is it a choice?  I'm not big on the whole pvp thing, but the economics of the game seem very interesting and something that would probably enjoy.    Thanks.....

No you dont HAVE to PvP. Just avoid the unsafe zones.

One Quick note tho you are NEVER SAFE from pvp in Eve.

Safe space IE 1.0 to 0.5 there are police called Concord that will PUNISH the crime, Not nesacarly Provent it. If someone has the Need or Wan'ts to kill you they can. Concord is there to kill them back tho.

If you take some basic Precautions tho, Like not careing a Billion Isk of cargo in a ship that cost less than a Million.(yes people do this and then wander why the guy at the gate Blew him up to get at his cargo)

In Short you CAN Easly avoid PVP in Eve aslong as you are smarter than the Average lazzy git and fit your ship to Tank instead of Being Gankbait.

The fact that you still think that after 3 years, AND that Most of the Riddlen poping punks thez days Agree with you makes me VERRY Sad and Scarred for the next Crop of MMo's.

No, this (what you typed) is what scares me...
Wow, that's just beyond horrible...

 

 

The fact that it WAS fun for me also makes me Glad and Sad.. I dont Regret any of the time I Spent playing WOW, That said IF Every MMO is trying to copy WOWs Sad Whorable gameplay then we are all Doomed.

And im sorry if it hurts your feallings but WOW is just about the Shallowest, Dumbest, And about the Worst Player base..(No take that back played on a few Asian MMos thats Comunity put wow down cold).

Its Fun in a Mindless Action Flick kinda way. That said the local AMC30 Dosent take $15 Each month from me so I guess its worse.

If Wow had SOME depth and Ballance so that New players and Old players could atleast have fun togeather,(No Punking the lvl 15's in Ashenvale Dosent Count) or the ability on the PvP servers to Affect the otherside in SOME Way then the game might have some Value to haveing pvp servers.

And Who ever came up with the Rock, Paper, Sissors Fudge needs to be SHOT and his whole family Linched to make sure that Family Tree is Dead and Burried.

The fact that you still think that after 3 years, AND that Most of the Riddlen poping punks thez days Agree with you makes me VERRY Sad and Scarred for the next Crop of MMo's.

Im With Stromguard.

EQ2 for now Vanguard later.. or get a station pass and play all of them :P

      Vanguard Has the Core Idea that will allow it to become about the best MMo in its class IF SOE does take care of it and not try to kill it.

Im playing EQ2, Vanguard, Planetside, and Tryed SWG (couldent stand, was post NGE)

      I think my 35 {or is it 40?} is well spent if you still have a lot of friends in Eq1 then you can still hop on in and Visit them. and when POTBS comes out the pas will rock :P

Vanguard is gana be just like EVE.

A nice slow steady climb because its the Best game in its market.

And if they are letting Matrix and SWG limp on there is no whay in hell they would shut down the servers after spending all that money on the game.

Come on back We will save you a seat at the table

It's simple, it's a game. DOn't take things to serious. If you want to buy gold, do it. If you don't, don't, And don't worry to much over what the next guy does, cause it's just a GAME!

No Thes farmers are the BANE of online games and the losers that buy the gold.

Makeing me glad i quit that game.... ill take my Newly Merged Vanguard srevers over People like him any day 

Basicly yes, Once you Buy the game you get all the Origanal stuff, Battlegrounds, Core world / Races ect.

You will NOT be able to play the 2 New Races or enter any Zones that are from the Expantions they just wont let you in.

And your Cap will be 60 and will stay that way till you get the Expantions instaled.

No you wont lose any of your toons or anything.

WOW is a good starter MMO i ran from the game long B4 i reached lvl 60, Mostly because my friends were all 20 lvls higher than me.

If your friends are Serious about you playing tell them Fine ill het the game yall make an alt that I dont fata Solo my way to 60

Well, if it really plays like SWG:NGE I probably will hate it. I couldn't stand the NGE. Wouldn't have been so bad if they didn't take out 2/3 of the classes, and let you do something with that god awful UI.

I played SWG post NGE only and Tabula Rasa is NOT like that POS of a game..... And please stop compareing Tabula Rasa  to it, you Basterds....

Tabula Rasa is fun to play i have a Station pass and i wont go Near SWG and it would be free to me.. Tabula Rasa Does use a third person look and shoot model but that is it, NOTHING else compairs to That Terable game. It is TRUE that it is Not ready for a launch. There is no market system at all, Grouping is almost pointless, the game Practly ends at lvl 30 (about halfway up the ladder) No Endgame to speek of and some Weapons are in Whorid need of Rebalanceing / Fixing, that said Tabula Rasa is Running fine, looking Great, plays verry well, they have about half of it right (the part that makes it FUN) the other half that will make you stay on the otherhand is Sorry to say MIA 

NO this is not NGE, YES it is worth $5 to play in the BETA and get a few extras 2-3 Months after the game has gone live and they have Fixed its problems.

Oh and On Vanguard the game Works 100 times better than it did at launch, And  the server mergers make it so there are people running around. IF you do own the box buy a month time card and give it another go
