EVE Online

What do you mean by "now" OP? I thought it has been F2P with alpha clones for some time now?

12.3GB

I used to play a lot for years. My interest kind of died. Other games you can just hit "queue" and find an opponent to fight. You literally have to put hours into getting a fight and you just die to a fucking gate camp if you're in anything larger than a T3 destroyer. Also fuck those things. T3 destroyer do way too much DPS for their hull size. They made battleships completely obsolete.

I used to play with Hard Knocks which was the best wormhole corporation at the time. They were pretty great players and that was fun. But playing solo was kind of boring because you just can't find PvP without hours of time investment. I just want to buy 100 ships and have 100 fights in an alliance tournament arena with 5 man teams or solo or whatever. I so sick of chasing nullsec ishtar bots around or catching fucking skiffs after hours of blue balls.

The game installs really quickly. Like almost instantly because it loads the textures as you need them. So you download assets as they're requested while in game and soon you'll have everything. Really intelligent design

I'm surprised no one's torn that image to shreds already despite being around for probably a decade. The mental gymnastics involved to add more "options" is fascinating.

tfw i wanna play it again but the daily log in bonuses triggered my inner-boomer

The map design doesn't favor lone wolf PvP. Never has. The best you'll get is a small group gate camp or the occasional gank of a greedy miner in null.

Otherwise, the game is not unlike any other raid focused MMO, except raiding is vs other players, as opposed to scripted NPC dungeons.
The worst part is that the game offers a ton of theorycrafting potential, but at the end of the day, the combat mechanics are so bare bones that only a few very specific ships and builds are meta, which leaves like 99.99% of the options the offer you as absolute trash.

It was ground breaking in 2003, now, it's severely lacking in features, balance or content.
An EVE 2 would be a welcome game at this point, because the current one is basically the same 4 alliances just agreeing to attack each other to keep things interesting. It's been static like this for YEARS now.

Also, never gonna forgive CCP for selling White Wolf to Paradox, after seeing how fucking faggy and tranny pandering PDX's new lesbian CEO is.

Pretty much. It's hilarious how hard the community pushed the game through misrepresentation and outright lies regarding it's "ease of access", while simultaneously bragging about "hardcore" it was.

I hate that I wasted any time on that game.

top kek this is what power does to your brain
seen same shit over other power and econy styled games
though worst scenario was in Conan Exiles.

Nobody is saying it had ease of access silly

Can you walk around your ship yet?

lmao they literally removed that feature

There's filaments you can find during exploration or on the market now that jump you straight to null. No more jumping 40 gates looking for a fight

How is it free when I'm capped to 5m skill points?

That's a great step forward and i think they're definitely addressing the problem of finding content with that update as well as abyssal cruiser proving grounds. Kudos to CCP, but just because you're in null doesn't mean you're getting a fight. I think it's great they'll bring your right to active pockets but if you're bringing anything larger than a shield fit cruiser, then you're going to need to work hard to keep from getting pinned down by response fleets. You're also committing at least an hour to running around 30 jumps of dead null space chasing ratting systems on dotlan. I want abyssal filiments that bring you right to proving grounds. But if you didn't have to kill NPCs then people would just brick tank cap booster active rep monsters with neuts. I loved small gang fights with like 5 people. It would be cool to find a version of that you could do in abyssal proving grounds.
