• • AOC's future

  • Well with an army of people willing to pay to test their game, they may actually have a future.

     

    The combat is far from advanced, yes the graphics are pretty, but so are a lot of other games these days.

    Dont start on bugs, itemisation, listed features though, cos im sure there are 350,000 other people willing to tear you to shreds on that.

    You've all heard what happened to the Guild Arch, seems a disgruntaled player talked a GM into making him the guild leader and this guy deleted everyone, disbanned the Keeps and player city. Took everything from the guild bank. When current guild leader pettitioned a gm he was told that Arch had never exsisted. They are and were a top guild with the first city slot. Its being looked into but nothing has been done and how you gonna turn the clock back. You folks need to wake up and start asking how could this happen and how could only one gm and player do this.

    Well to be fair the guild control interface is about as useful as tits on a fish, so I cant say im suprised

I find what your saying to be true anyway and noone can deny that but it all just depends on what you like and some people don't mind the slow slow slowwwwwwwwww gameplay of EVE.
    I just sold my account last week because I have no plans of going back myself but my friend is enjoying it, though I say that he hates the game but he doesn't quit until he's the best which I find abit weird cause he never will be.

    actually, if you've played for months and you HAVE pvp'd, but all you've done is tackle... and the rest of your experience is mining... yes, you have done something wrong; possibly several somethings wrong.
     
    it is very possible to play a game wrong.  if i play for several months... what am i skilling?  if i'm skilling to pvp; then, why would i STILL be tackling, several months into play?  if you're mining and tackling; do you enjoy doing those things?  if not; then why are you STILL doing those things, months into the game?  yes, it's very possible to do something wrong and be wrong as a result.
     
    how long does it take you to level to 70 in wow?  then, how long does it take you to progress to the point that you've got the same "level/tier" of purple/epic gear as the vets?  is all that grinding enjoyable?
    compare that to a game where you DON'T have to grind to gain levels in your chosen skills.  compare that to a game where you can specialize in several dozen areas, versus HAVING to get that "one good" talent build in wow...
    so, you spec'd for stealth bombers/exploration and that's not what you want to do this month?  oh, i see you already have a racial frigate to lvl 5, maybe you could train for intys or electronic attack ships and give those a go?  no skill trained is wasted, because you can always build onto those skills.  even if all someone has done is mine/tackle for several months... if they've actually been training for those several months, odds are they have a number of other skills upon which they can build...
     
    sorry, but especially in a game like eve, you CAN be doing it all wrong.  good news is that it really doesn't take long to make something good out of a mess.

    You're not playing a game wrong because the game allows it and it was your gameplay experience and you just didn't find it all that fun. In EVE agent missions are very boring and just the same thing over and over again and mining is the same thing over and over again and so is industry. All EVE is about is doing the same grinds over and over again and it becomes boring and I don't understand why people enjoy that. I really liked the market and thought the economy was the most fun part of the game but I couldn't play the game just for that.
    People talk about how great PVP is but all I find it to be is about how many ALT accounts you have because most people in PVP have been playing for years and have a few accounts and you have no chance unless you buy more accounts. If you try and PVP against experienced people then you wont ever win and it's back to grinding for ISK again because you just lost all your fittings and your ship and your clone. So then you have join a group to PVP and I find group PVP to be very boring because I want to prove myself solo in fair fights like I can do in WOW. The rest of the PVP is just people gate camping all the time which you have no chance because by the time you've loaded in to the gate they've killed you and it makes me want the game to be seemless rather than all the instancing and loading.

    So I found the game to be very repetitive and I found the PVP to be very one sided and not about skill at all. I don't want to have to wait a year before I can become effective against the veterans. In WOW I could pick up the game and within a couple weeks be level 70 and be owning other level 70's because I have Skill but in EVE it's not about that.
     
    I find that very boring.

    Wrong, Eve is very much about skill, its about forward planning, politics, logistics and brutal combat.

    Fine, missions are boring, they are PvE, think of them as the tutorial
    Fine, mining is boring although some strange people tend to enjoy it and mining is essential for the unique WORKING economy that Eve has.

    PvP is not boring. You dont need to play for a year to compete, you just need to have the skill to do it, my mate started playing two weeks ago and is already pointing, baittrapping and causing damage. If you thought that bigger was better then you really missed the point.

    If you expect a fair fight 1v1, you missed the point

    And if you expect to solo, you REALLY missed the point, you wont stand a cat in hells chance the game is based on player corps controlling areas of space that give them the assets they require to wage warfare.

    I used to play Wow, but then it lost its carebear like, no consequence charm. Now I fly around with my 3 month old Amarian pilot shooting anything that moves

    Sure I go bang, but right at the moment im making more things go bang more often, and personally, am having a blast.

    Good luck with wow
