My "meh" feeling towards EVE right now probably comes from finding that won't work so much. You cannot be a freedom fighter or industrialist or whatever - as you point out, you can only be a cog in someone else's corporation which is a FW corp or an industrialist corp. Being a cog in someone else's corp is what I do in real life, not what I aspire to and which I'm willing to spend money every month to take a shot at for a few hours a week. That's the other part - is EVE mostly only for people whose lives allow them to play 10+ hours a week and log in multiple times a day to update trade orders on their alt?<br /><br />Meh. Maybe I'll feel differently after a few months away from EVE. Or after I burn out on X-Com, one of the two.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-45268962588627636952012-10-30T14:20:45.341+01:002012-10-30T14:20:45.341+01:00The problem for me when I tried to play Eve is tha...The problem for me when I tried to play Eve is that most of your ingame time is devoid of the need of responsive action from the player.<br /><br />It would be comparative to playing WoW where the GCD was 6 seconds.<br /><br />I really can't get into the game where I click my weapons once and wait for the ship to finish fighting or click to move type flight, where you just wait for your flight to finish. While it does get vastly more complicated in terms of fleet dynamics for me its the moment to moment play that's terrible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-85225136852487018042012-10-30T14:03:09.548+01:002012-10-30T14:03:09.548+01:00Yes, and corporations and alliances are physics, c...Yes, and corporations and alliances are physics, coded by CCP just like the alignment dynamics. The actor in Eve is your team of players, which may be concentrated in one corporation or alliance, or may actually be spread across corporations / alliances. <br /><br />A price-fixing cartel is a team, even if (for stealth) it isn't a corporation or alliance.
