Eve Online

Postby -HaVoC- » Wed Nov 16, 2005 10:11 am

Does anyone here play Eve Online? I was given a 14 day trial by Murgatroyd and have been online with some folks from Glory of War for a few days now. The initial learning curve is steep but it has a great live tutorial. The graphics on my widescreen at 1900x1200 with 2x AA is nothing short of awesome.

Anyways I wasn't sure how I felt about the game but I've found myself glued to it till about 3am for a few days now and it's quite a bit of fun.

I've been looking for another game to fill my time.... Looks pretty cool. Maybe I'll check it out.

Holy shit. Don't play Eve. It's combat system is non existant. YOu click a button and that is it......

After 1 month and 2 weeks I was burnt out on Eve. It literally takes a fucking month to "lvl up". There are no levels but ifyou want to fly lets say, an assult frigate (A little better than a destroyer) YOu have to train several skills that will take roughly 5 months to do.
Yeah that lvl 1 skill you trained took 1 hour, but look at it this way.

Rank 1 skill is
1 hour, then 2 hours, then 5 hours, then 1 day and 12 hours, then 1 month for lvl 5.

A Rank 2 skill will be
2 hours, 5 hours, 1 day, 1-2 weeks, and then 2 months or more.

To just fly a better frigate (NOOB ships) it takes maxing out a Rank 2 skill, and several rank 1 skills. Means it takes about 3 months to just get out of a fucking frigate.
