• • My take on EVE

  • *rubs temples* I think my head might explode.
    Da1e, or Dale, or da-wun-ee, or whatever the hell your name is, just stop posting. Just stop. All youe doing is digging a bigger hole to lie in. damian7, you are a life saver (not the candy, although that would be 'L33t'-to the anti-l33t, that means 'awesome')
    Godwins Law is great, I should remember that for all time. It means that this guy has actually been digging himself a deeper grave. I just can't get over that.
    
    Space is a strange place, and from Earth we can't see much (on the surface, given the atmosphere, the times we actually see the stars, light pollution, and your run-of-the-mill greenhouse gases) and what we can see is a bit blurry. All hail Hubble and the other dozens of fine spectrum-seeing devices orbiting Earth. Sorry, couldn't think of anything other than Hubble, brain is too crammed is contradictions and hypcrisy.
    
    Now, I'm sure there is something else I need to rant about....AH YES. EvE? Spreadsheet? Sometimes I have to agree; Price History is gibberish to me. All I see there is a big graph with numbers and times.
    
    Umm, on the subject of researching games....No one kill me, but I swear to the heavens I just pressed an random advert for EvE.
    It looked really cool! What?! Anyway, probably the only ad I'm glad I clicked. Those first two weeks really got me into the game, and when I was over I didn't really miss it much; I hadn't played a really good MMO ever and I played non-stop for the 14 days.
    Then a long time after, I started to miss it. Years after my first trial, I sit proudly on five months of experience.
    I can't give a review though; there's a whole galaxy left to explore.
    
    Da1e, why did you try it ANYWAY?! Seriously, in the OP, you say you were skeptical about actually liking the game, and yet you tried it anyways. After an hour, you scramble to quit, and decide its infinitely necessary to post a review based on an hour of play.
    
    I've brought that up before, now I bring up something I almost screamed when I read it; you said that an hour's worth of game-time is better than nothing, and submitting a review on either is equally bad. I know I didn't that completely correct, but the point is made.
    WHY IN THE NAME OF ANY DIVINITY OUT THERE WOULD YOU EVEN THINK OF SAYING THAT?!
    Think of it, go ahead, but seriously, (I'll get nazi censorship for this, but you know what, he said it first, Godwins Law. Own3d. L33tspeak. Own3d again) I can't even wrap my head around the logic. I know I'm restating what people have before, but play the trial, THEN submit a well-though out review outlining everything you did and did not like. Submitting one based on an hour, is completly stupid.

    That tells me the following:

    1) You don't give a flying (insert curse here) about the game
    2) You couldn't get through the tutorial that takes twenty minutes, with step by step instructions on what to do.
    3) You require absolute and constant attention from experts (I mean people who have carriers) to hld your hand all the time, yet they would like nothing more than to pod your n00b ass.
    4) The concept of using a mouse for all commands is too hard to grasp, and you are lost without your macro to automatically slaughter everything in sight
    5A) Having an experience-based system where you can sit in front of your computer all night grinding the same level enemies until you can move onto the next is 'the norm' for you
    5B) Perhaps the opposite of A, you want instantaneous access to everything, allowing to uberpwn the sshite out of all ur enem33z
    
    I could list more, I just don't care. Also, your obsession with proving that SOE is innocent and did nothing to break the law astounds me, given that this thread is based on EvE. Stick to the right flame guy.
    
    CCP? Cheating? Could someone explain this debacle I obviously missed? Also, maybe someone explain the whole SOE launching an expansion and stuff and people being scammed. Preferably someone who is NOT prejudiced/biased to a side of either situation. Might help me break this down.
    
    I know I'm missing something....Oh yeah. Censorship? Actually, I won't bother.
    What else could I have missed...........
    
    Right....people are sick of your constant 'stop twisting my words so I can blame your censorship' or whatever the hell it is your spamming and actually answer the questions that were put up. What is your take on cosy's questions? Did you in fact look fot help in-game?
    Did you look up the game before trying it? Did you just jump in hoping for a good time like me? (Trust me, I'm glad I did) Do you even know the facts about EvE? (couldn't resist. I had to say it.) What do you KNOW about EvE, and say everything. Exclude racial comments/flame/stupidity/contradictions/hypocricy/whatever. Just list what you did and did not like about EvE Online. That's it. We'll work out everything else eventually.
    
    PS- Please don't go on about censorship, or nazis. If I have to read something about a political party back in 1930-45, and know the fact that they slaughtered millions of people just because of what they looked like and what they believed in, I don't think I will have much in the way of tolerance for your words. Seriously, before you start throwing names around, do some research. We learn history to never make the same mistakes as people did before. Obviously not many people care about history, or simply never learned anything.

• • bigger planets.

  • Moons are usually 500km in diameter; Earth is almost 13 000 kilometers in diameter.
    
    Also, some frigates are around 300 meters long, so the idea that planet's are small makes sense. The Titan's must be several kilometers long, if not the size of a moon given the mass. Of course, not everyone has a Titan to go flying around in, so I don't think you can just jump in and warp to the nearest moon to see if you're bigger than it or not. I know battlecruisers are massive compared to my cruiser, and that's just a single step up. I look at a little tiny Ibis and laugh because the little speck could fit into the bow of my Caracal.
    
    But from the technical standpoint, making planet's fully to scale and all pretty would be WAAYY to heavy on processing power. You would need a supercomputer to actually see a planet in EvE up close and personal.
    
    From the scientific standpoint, you usually only see planet's from stations and stargates, yes? Well, in ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2//pdf/eve_v1.4_black.pdf that PDF it explains EVERYTHING about EvE. I'm only on page 7, but I read it for a half-hour and I can't tell you much, other than warp drives, gravity, stations and gates all have something to with it. Just read it, IT'S AWESOME. Well, that is if you want to know all the intracacies of EvE and its history.
    
    PS- It's in-universe, so don't expect to find dev stuff in there.

• • More stuff for miners

  • Hehehe...you won't believe me, but I stripped an entire asteroid belt in Kisogo 7 of ALL rocks in a couple hours with my Covetor. That was a long time ago. I've been tempted to go through Unpas and strip every little bit of Viscous Pyroxeres from it. I have yet to find the four hours neccessary to make the instant 12mil, but hey. Worth every ISK.
    I do think I saw a mining rig somewhere, or at least mention of it.
    
    PS- I agree, cargo expanders don't count as mining assets, just a chunk out of my structure and drop my speed to 65 m/s.

• • My take on EVE

  • I think cosy has a point here, Da1e (the OP) didn't say anything that cosy listed. The Rookie Help Channel that you start in by default (I don't think it's called that anymore though, check the Channel list, I have a feeling its just 'Help' now) and the OP could have just asked. If you did, don't stab me, I'll assume the help you recieved sucked or was nonexistent.
    
    PS- Da1e, what was your character's name in EvE? Just curious.
    PPS- cosy's signature, I might 'teef it as a quote for random stuff because it's so true. And it does take time to grasp EvE. I may have liked EvE in the first hour, but I didn't truly understand the world until I was first pod-killed. THAT was when I truly understood how quickly everything you have can just--disappear.

• • My take on EVE

  • Oookaayyyy....Let's get started on making this better. Or worse, given that I don't really remember ALL FIVE PAGES OF A REVIEW FOR AN HOUR'S WORTH OF GAMEPLAY.
    
    Da1e, we value your opinion. We really do. But the fact that is based on AN HOUR OF PLAYING EVE makes a bit....discriminated. I loved EvE in the first five minutes of playing it, which may make my opinion biased. That fact won't stop me from saying...
    
    IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE GAME STOP DEFENDING YOUR NEGATIVE OPINION ON THE GAME YOU DON'T LIKE!!!!!!!!!
    GOD!!!
    
    I know, I'm a newb at forums and the whole diplomacy thing, but seriously, if you don't like it, stop trying to fend off damian7: from what I can tell, he is a god at shooting down EvE h4t3rs.
    
    Yes, I am classifying you as 'EvE h4t3r'. If you don't like L33T-(as it properly spelled)-speak, get over it because it used to be humourous, fun, or to annoy people who don't like L33T speak.
    
    What else do I have to rant about....OH YES! Slow. Yes, EvE is slow. Yes, it takes my Covetor 5 seconds to turn around (OMG MY SPELLZ IN WoW TAKE 4.5485674843675435639469 SECONDS TO RECHARGE! OMFG). The Covetor is a mining barge, and with the mods I have placed on it, it moves at 65.7 metres/second. Shove it, that's EvE. You can take your Ibis with its 150-something m/s and 'FIVE SECONDS TO TURN AROUND!SUCH A BIG DEAL!', and shove it. You played long enough to kill that guy in deadspace complex, mine a full load, and dock at Kisogo 7. (assuming you are Caldari, all other races please don't take offence)
    
    A review based upon an hour of gameplay will not be taken well. You should have expected that because you played for an hour; everyone here has played for MUCH LONGER. I, for example, have racked up several months, and I DO take offense from your 'hay guyz, heres my opinoin on eve, i didn't think i'd like it, i didn't but heres my opinion anyway cuz i think u shud value it becuz its my right to be valued'.
    Also, if you took the couple seconds to open the ESC menu-which you need to do to quit by the way-you would have found the graphics settings. You tell me EvE's ships look like a 'grey cardboard box', I will be VERY OFFENDED. Or pity your computer. I'm assuming the former.
    
    I'm sure I'm missing something here, I believe it was your reference to tyrannical rulers in WWII. Stalin is considered to be worse than Hitler because he killed more people, at least from what I've heard. I'm no history major, just a miner packing a Caracal. (Yes I have a cruiser, I'll tell the story if you ask)
    
    If I missed something, please tell me.
    
    By the way, that trailer for Empyrean Age, AMAZING!!!
