hiding in a hole.

But that you? You hide under null.

@MB_ThePhotographer

You hide under null.

Funny how you’re still wrong about that, never been to null in my entire EVE life on any character, not even just to visit or filament in or anything.

Still completely clueless.

On the other hand you didn’t deny any of the facts I’ve pointed out about you. Would be hard as they are facts but still.

[MB_ThePhotographer]

Ok.

Uh, that’s nothing to be proud of.

Try playing the game!

[Uriel_the_Flame]

Calm down Aiko.

Also: Watch out Aiko a shield extender!

EVE itself is doing nothing to make its players talk to each other on a personal level. its not breaking walls down between people anymore

I look at it not as a community but as lots of different smaller rival communities. They don’t use the in-game chats but for the player-created chats, EVE communities are on Discord, Teamspeak and Twitch.

I haven’t seen anything in Local except one player who asked for help and I replied but didn’t stay in system to check his reply on the info I gave him. Most of the time I minimize Local as the window shows a player number while minimized.

If they wanted to do something about that they would incorporate voice comms within the game.

@Mii_Lady

it seems odd to me that they have surrendered so much of the core fabric of how a mmo works to third parties be that alliances or third-party software that their game feels more empty than most single player games do now

I think we can chuck that to the amount of distrust and toxicity that EVE facilitate with its harsh mechanics. EVE isn’t like any other MMORPG so the conventions don’t really apply to it.

Overall I think it’s a great game, although I think it isn’t managed properly.

I think I’m one of the few people that built a corporation by recruiting in Local after a GF. The nature of this game is contrary to the concept of such expression. I remember (and I might remember wrongly) that Eve once had ingame voice chat. Didn’t they ditch that because nobody used it? Hypercapitalist space operara drama simply doesn’t elicit the kind of jolly cooperation typical of modern MMO’s.

I’ve always felt people in hisec are just concerned with running content safely as an individual and way too busy too talk, while nullbros simply allow their Local behavior to be policed. Lowsec and WH folk tend to be a little more talkative and less restrictive, but most conversations are indeed over private channels due to safety concerns.

You can’t have your cake and eat it too, basically. Enjoy your space paranoia!
