I just want to post a couple major issues this game has and why I’ve quit it after only a few weeks of playing.
This game is not about skill it is 100% about key binds, If you face an enemy exactly the same as you, the first to get fully combat ready wins, Like 4 key binds turns you into a pro on this game it isn’t hard or difficult.
It does not matter how much played time you have on this game. I can buy omega 2 times and train all of my skills offline, buy plex 4 times and sell it to buy things I can now use with the skills that I learned. No missions completed no reason to play the game.
The story is non existent when you join the game. There is no motive by the game to join you with other players. The missions and agent careers are stale and feel like a cell phone game. The only purpose in this game is ISK and i can buy that with real money so why would I play the game.
Playing the game as a new player is impossible. Unless you want to farm high sec areas for things that will get you little to no ISK making the game more a helpful sleeping aid rather then fun, you are 100% going to die if you enter lower sec areas. I die every single time I log on by something I do not even know what it is. I have died by things the moment they warp to my area. I have died by things so fast I have no time to even react. Dying in Eve does not feel fulfilled it feel destined. Unable to control your destiny is boring. Because there is an extremely obvious difference between somebody with skills trained and not trained there is LITERALLY no way to be good at this game unless you wait the time on training, or spend hundreds on plex for isk for skill points. scam alert scam alert.
All of the careers in the game are boring because none of them feel important. The only reason i’m murdering people or stealing items is for money. But I can buy the money why do I need to play the game for it? very boring.
The players are not interested in me. Not a single player wanted to play with me because I didn’t understand the game or have the equipment to join them, I joined a couple corps and all of them felt more like scams then actual communities of players.
The money trap that is Omega. The game allows you to play as an alpha clone that is 100% pointless at the end of the game. skills take longer to learn, dreadfully longer to learn. Every single player with Omega will kill you with no problem at all. Omega is the only way to play this game the alpha is just a starter pack that expects the players to upgrade once completed which takes however as long as the skills take to train, not to actually play the game. I understand this game is meant to be hardcore but the creators obviously are the biggest pirates of all. Calling a game hardcore but requiring zero brain power to play is ironic.
Farewell, Eve Online is possibly the biggest disappointment I have ever run into on an online game. I really wanted to like this game. It looks beautiful, the ships are amazing and it reminds every gamer of the space game they want. But sadly Eve is not that game.
You say who ever gets combat ready first wins, and you dont need any skill to take part in the game… Then at 4, you list all the ways you died because you lacked the skill to survive. You need real life skills, situational awarness for one, to survive in EVE.
EVE is not for everyone, but in the right social group, and with the right expectarion, any rookie can go on to be a skilled killing machine, amazing interceptor pilot, market manipulator or ore grinder. Its an MMO after all.
Sorry to hear you say that. I think you would have really liked this game the way it was back in 2008 to 2013.
Anyway, at least you gave it a few weeks. Just know that you’re not alone, there’s a lot of other new players who actually quit this game in less time than you.
Well I’ll give you that but only because the numbers were higher. People still bitched about finding the right corp, being gamed into NS, etc…Fleeting-up with randoms was rolling the dice back then just as it is now…probably more so then. But listen to what he is complaining about the social ascpect…it’s all about HIM and not what he actually tried to do…
Sometimes your thread replies make me laugh and other times I just want to listen to my iphone alien ring tone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GitYco8F6i4 to help calm my nerves.
