Well sorry to hear you feel that way, but there is nothing wrong with Eve.  Sure, like any MMO it has some issues, but you play around them, not one of your points above is a problem you can't play around and some I don't consider problems at all.  Take POS warfare, sovereignty is superior imo.  Sure it could do with some improvements, but it is still much better than what we had before. 

I was in a 200+ encounter the other day and had no lag.  Maybe your computer needs some upgrades.  The only problem with T3 is the expense, few can really fly the ships that can afford to replace them.

You are just bored with the game and expressing sour grapes.  Some time off is a good idea for you.

 

Dude, you're delusional. This game is not "broken," but it is not functioning well either. There's a lot more people than just Malcanis here that are displeased. Check the Eve forums. And CCP's vocal direction is 180degrees from the expressed wishes of the players. The game is in scary shape at the minute, and that is undeniable.

Man, 2 fantastic info reveals at Comic-Con this year! I wish I coulda been there, my friend sat in the panel discussion and said it was awesome.

With so much gameplay possible, so much story - and they've thought through potential repercussions of their mechanics - this game really is shaping up to be an insane game. Add this to space combat, amazing potential. I've been on the SWTOR forums since Oct 08, and I'm still eagerly anticipating this game.

2 Things that do worry me still:

1) “You can be as evil as a Jedi, or as good as a Sith as you like,” Alex reminded the audience, “But you cannot really switch factions. You never cross over.” -- I understand the rationale for this, however, this could prove too limiting for people's desire for storying ONE single character. This basically makes you reroll completely if you want to switch sides - but some people have a real loyalty to their 1st char and want to just keep the continuity of that char up. Additionally, I'm sure that the Sith Empire would welcome in Dark Jedi into their ranks, and the Republic might be tempted to work with spies/converts from the Sith. I could see this being changed in an expansion.

2) "Light saber restrictions are for gameplay reasons, to make the classes visually recognizable, so the Jedi Counselor, for example, will be restricted to a single light saber or pole only." -- BAD FORM PETER. This is a horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE decision, and Bioware will realize it after enough QQing from all the players who want to be a certain class with a different lightsaber style. Come on now, this seems like a very noob mistake.

SWEET BOOTY. Despite some of my (justified) apprehensions about this game, the devs do continue to surprise me in good ways. And I believe this also to be a byproduct of listening to their fanbase on the forums (me since Oct 08). Lets hope this will be a deep enjoyable space game instead of just something shallow to appease people. And honestly, even if it is shallow at the beginning, I've always been happy with the idea of an expansion on space combat, so this is just added plus.

Wish I coulda been in this panel. My friend was, and said it was awesome.

Instead of offering just free 5 days nonsense, they could do a lot better by actually listening to the feedback of the players, tightening & honing the experience, fixing broken chunks of the game. But as we now know from their blantantly honest CSM Minutes and Devblogs, they don't care at all about listening to players at all. No one's gonna actually resub for PI!??

FIX THE GAME - Have an entire expansion dedicated to fixing this game, and you will get LOADS of subs back. It's pretty basic.

Good set of articles, this in combination with the "stoked" reasons. I will say I agree with all of your reasons, and I would rate myself as more on the "wary" side than the stoked side. I'm a devout SW geek from infancy, a hardcore MMO player, and a jaded SWG Vet. So while there's a lot of high hopes for SWTOR, I'm staying... realistic in my expectations.

I put a lot of time into the forums when they first started back in Oct 08, to try to help shape the way Bioware thought about the game from the get go. I've since relaxed my SWTOR forums madness, and sit back to let things unfold before I put any further thought energy into this thing.

Again, thanks for the articles, I've enjoyed reading them, and I hope Bioware is looking at all the praise/critiques and using them to hone this game before launch. Here's hoping!

I actually really enjoyed the alliance tournament, and everyone I know who avidly PvPs enjoys the concept and execution of the team sport (along with the thousands of individual connections who tune in to Eve-TV, AND the thousands of hits the youtube reruns get).

Instead of huge blobs, and a fight being determined by shear numbers, holding the grid, or locking down a system with gate-camps and bubbles, the AT is about a tight nit, well oiled machine... fleets who have practiced for hours and hours, who've honed their tight setups, who field neat and interesting setups, and truly know PvP. Believe it or not, its closer to real small-gang PvP than you're thinking.

This is ofcourse evidenced by the fact that PL and HR were the top finishers, both being credited in game with being some of the most elite PvP pilots there are on TQ.

The commentators need some work (with exception of Kil2, he's good), but hey, these are eve players not professional announcers.

Myself, I'm either going to compete in one of the teams next tourney, or apply to be an announcer.

Nice review, good little tidbits of info there.

In general I'm still a little worried about the game, how limited you will be for so many things. Openness and options are best. But, beyond all that, I'm still very excited.

Re: Wookies, in their webcomic, wasn't there a wookie BH? I could definitely see that happnin.

Niice I love the holorecords. They're the closest to real cinematics as we can get, and they provide some kewl storyline info.

Can't wait for this game!

Congrats to CCP for this award. I'd definitely have to agree for the most part with that PC Gamer list, a couple tweaks like Starcraft should be much higher up, but EVE is definitely up there. I've not found an MMO to match it yet. So player driven, so many different ways to play, I do something different and fun just about every day I've played. Sure you can get into a grinding rut if you let yourself, just as with any MMO, but you most definitely don't have to in EVE. PvE, Solo PvP, small fleet PvP, big fleet PvP (large alliance warfare), Mining, Exploration/WHs, Market warfare, Manufacturing... it's pretty amazing.

That said, there's a lot of little things that could definitely improve the day-to-day gameplay of EVE. It needs a lot of honing, polishing, and finishing of previously introduced feature-sets.

I'm running for CSM this term to hopefully champion the improvement of those little things, and make EVE an even more fun experience for years to come.

I'm actively taking new suggestions for things to implement, and if I get in, I'd be a direct window of communication from mmorpg.com aficionados to CCP.

Any particular little things you've thought of you'd like to see?

Nice job correcting this guys! I'll definitely put my name in the hat.

NICE! Glad to see more support of the EVE community mmorpg.com!

FYI tho, here's the way it works.

60day GTC = $35. GTC=2xPLEX (30day extension). So PLEX=$17.50.

Still absolutely worth the contest, but just hope you guys didn't get robbed on the price =/
