Yes it is. Read through DC’s last thread for you getting angrier and angrier until you posted such idiotic rage that even you clued in to how stupid you were being and deleted it.
You calling out someone else for acting like you usually do is the textbook definition of irony.
Damn that’s more than salt, it’s bicarbonate.
I don’t know how you spent 6 years in a game that bored you so much, made you feel so bad inside. You must have liked something in it.
What was your plan, if you had one?
I’ve tried lots of games I thought would interest me but uninstalled as soon as it stopped being fun for me. I’m new to EVE and so far it’s ok, I like it. It’s not what I’d call a GOOD game but there’s so much to do that compensates for the bad things, and there are a lot of them.
My biggest beef with space games is the “portal” system, doorways to other systems under the pretext that creating a wormhole would be the way to go to light speed to another star… for real life, that’d be another matter as nothing has yet been invented to transport humans to another star. For a game though, I think it’s a quick solution to too much coding and ingeniosity.
One good way to do it is the system they use in Elite Dangerous: point the ship towads direction and enter FTL. No gate no portal no campers. It would drop you at a random point near the star ( hopefully in orbit ).
Besides that, the game doesn’t provide any pertinent info on what’s happening throughout the galaxy. The player needs to depend on 3rd-party tools to keep up with current events.
The Market is another headache solved only by browsing the Net for relevant websites. The range at which info is available on prospective contracts and general deals is too limited and too much info is left to the Net to deal with on behalf of players.
No in-game NewsNet, a useless non-interactive Market ticker… What is the year in New Eden? With all technology there is no news? Having to go outside of the game breaks the immersion and all those online tools make EVE more like an online gambling place than a game.
At any rate, I’m still discovering what this game has to offer. Of course with limited personal time I won’t be able to excel in everything. Mining is a mindless waste of time, Discovery takes a lot of time and skill to get into and very hard to do it while PvPing, Ratting is fun for about an hour, haven’t tried Faction Warfare yet. I’m not rich enough to participate in that kind of fun and I don’t expect my income to increase so drastically that I’d want to waste 200mil only to get it blown up because I have no backup, no scout, no experience and I know diddly squat about this game.
My advice to you, OP, is to delete any traces of EVE’s installation files and move on. 2 years on a game and it’s a distraction, 6 years is a bit much, like an obsession. I can only SMH at those who’ve played longer.
EVE may keep me interested for a few years but I’m sure I’ll move on like I did many games.
Take care.
Well…I first floundered around in my first days in New Eden in 2008, and that’s not so much. There are many EvE players who have been playing this game since it’s launch in 2003. I’m still enjoying this game (even with it’s foibles, yes) and wouldn’t spend a minute on it if I wasn’t.
You are correct in your evaluation that EvE is by itself pretty much an…ok…game, not really spectacular (although it looks nice, imo). The magic ingredient in EvE is the people playing it and in large part that is what keeps people playing EvE. Not for every person, of course we are all different, but mostly.
I hope you will find this key to possible enjoyment of this game.
