The new graphics =

Not sure if anyone here plays this game, but i recently got back into EVE online due to the graphics overhaul. (what can i say i love pretty space pictures .

EVE is basically a 2nd life, it's not 100% action, it's more like 5% depending on your role , however it's one amazing game which has one amazing team behind it who really actually love their game.

There is a 14 day trial here https://secure.eve-online.com/ft/?ai...bid=&nogreet=1.

However you will not be able to do much in 14 days besides learn the basics, hell it takes 6months before you're a worthwhile PVP'er in EVE. You train skills with real time hours. Some skills i have take 33 days to learn, granted that's some high skills but still.

You can learn skills which improve character stats which increases skill learning etc but some still take ages.

BTW those huge ass friggen ships in EVE are the Titan ships, they are friggen incredibly huge, and can be your's with shat loads of skill training. , I'm no where near it yet my self, hell i am only in a cruiser

edit: BTW I'd thought I'd mention the current active userbase i think is 200k people... sure no comparison to WoW it's 9 million or so... but there's only 10k per server, and there's shit loads of servers for each language, area etc. EVE has 40k people all on one server at it's peak at the same time.

When there are wars it's literally a fleet battle and can cost both sides tremendous losses in resources.

Gonna try this, what server are you on? Wish there was no online fee :(.

I love space games like you .

[m3talc0re]

I tried the 14 day trial a few months ago, found it too boring for me. All I did mostly was set it to autopilot and jump to gates to jump to areas to jump through... I loved flying around in space and all, but it's too slow.

What would make the greatest game ever? EVE combined with something like WoW. Imagine flying around in EVE where you can leave the 3rd person view of your ship and view the inside of your ship and your character, roaming around inside your ship, etc.. Then landing at one of those stations where you buy stuff and actually leaving your ship and visiting all the areas of the station with your character. Etc... That would be the best game ever IMO. Fortunately, the game don't exist or else I'd be screwed, lol. I think it'd probably suck up all of my free time. Probably be like WoW on steroids for almost everyone.

[Xerogen]

Baron, do you need a skill to learn how to operate different ships? Cause I have like 150k of the that money, and i can buy a freighter but I dont know if i can use it...

[Uber_Tiny]

The game was a bit fun at first, but when I got into taking days to train something I got a little disappointed in it. Especially when I learned that training later on takes for ever to learn. I can see that they want to be a real time environment and if it were a real life type situation it could take that long. But for crying out loud, paying that much and having to wait for such a long period of time for you to learn a specific talent is ridiculous.

[SirBaron]

It's so you don't get the best stuff to fast, you actually need to kind of work for it. Yeah i know it takes AGES but it's so new people don't come down a month later with a Titan class ship, plus it makes sure not everyone uses the same ship.

Xerogen yeah you need skills per ship type, let's say you want Caladari Cruisers you need spaship command level 3 i think and Caladari Frigate level 4 before you can get Cruisers level 1. If you look at the Skills properties it should tell you it's requirements (right click on the skill).

BTW there's only one server, the new Trinitiy is coming on the actual server on the 5th of December, it's currently only on the test server atm.

[Uber_Tiny]

I hear Trinity is suposed to make things better. I would be interested in trying to play again. I may look into it again tonight.

[Xerogen]

I think if EVE went free, it would be one the best. One can wish... Like Uber I may have to pull out a credit card... I find it pretty damn sweet atm. I can only imagine PVPing with a whole fleet of ships being kick ass. /Searches for videos of that.

[SirBaron]

Sadly if it was free CCP would never update the game :p, they need to make money as this is their only game, which they've been updating since it's launch in 2003, hence why it's getting a graphics overhaul and the new engine Trinity.

I'll see if i can find any good fanbased movies.

[Xerogen]

What race/class/etc are you? Im a Caladari Entrepreneur Military guy. Mind posting a pick of your cruiser? What weapons you got on it?

[SirBaron]

What race/class/etc are you? Im a Caladari Entrepreneur Military guy. Mind posting a pick of your cruiser? What weapons you got on it?

I'll post a pic in a bit (on the laptop atm), I'm a caldari something or other , hard to remember what he started off as.

Can't even remember the cruisers name , it's the best missile cruiser anyway, pretty good for mining too. I have my Mark 2 Badger freighter which i use to pick up resources.

I really need to find a good Corporation to join, the game shines when you a part of it and not a loner. Plus the extra help, really helps in this game.

Perhaps a G3D Corporation?

[SirBaron]

Also a tip for new people in EVE buy Skill books in Learning category (the first level ones), they reduce training time a LOT when you have them all maxed, sure some skills will still take AGES. But you can cut hours of some, and days off others which is obviously a huge help.

[Xerogen]

What does: 110, 11H, 29M, 15. mean?

I know its 11 hours, 29 minutes. But for the two unmarked is it 110 days and 15 seconds?

[SirBaron]

Perhaps...

What are you attempting to learn

I'll be playing tonight most likely so if you want me to help you adjust to this overly complex game just give me a shout.

Character name is Virinoss

[Xerogen]

Im not trying to learn but I right clicked on several of them in the Learning category and it shows for Iron Will Rank (1): Train to level 5 110, 11H, 29M, 15.

[Xerogen]

Damn, I keep getting stuck at Entering game as Ashadeus...

I played crysis for a hour and so and i still have this...


EDIT: Rofl as soon as i posted this it worked.

All the guides new people could ever want.

http://myeve.eve-online.com/download...wnload&vid=154 I swear CCP can't make bad trailers .

BTW that trailer is Revelations 2 and not using the new Trinity Engine which will be working this thursday

[SirBaron]

I know its 11 hours, 29 minutes. But for the two unmarked is it 110 days and 15 seconds?

Just figured it out, it's the crazy font... I looked at mine and it said the same thing... however i noticed that it always has the D and S in the time.

So it should be 11D 11H 29M and 1S

Try and mess with the options with the font to see if you can make it look better.

If i read your skill thing right it should take that long to get to level 5 from the first level.

I'd recommened getting them to level 4 and then learning other skills, and eventually learn them to 5 so you can start on the next set to further lower training times.

Before i changed the font width to expanded, and size 12.



after i changed.

wow :cool:

[SirBaron]

Bear in mind the only things this update brought was updated ships, stations etc. The rest is stock EVE, however you can see from the last 2 shots i posted, compared to the new interior shots how better they look.








edit: update brings in terms of graphic updates i mean, there was a lot of other things changed/added besides the graphics, but i was refering to the graphic changes.

Oh and i forgot it also adds HDR, you need to use nHancer to get AA+HDR to work in EVE Online.

[Uber_Tiny]

Signed up for a 14 day trial. Gonna see how it goes...again!

[SirBaron]

Most fun i get is with Corporations (which i have yet to rejoin), without them you wonder around and i prefer the structured more refined gameplay of a corp. That was you can go on missions together, or plan a raid on a enemy corporation etc.

[Uber_Tiny]

Maybe we could start a G3D Corp and see how things go from there.

My character name is Chuane.

Will write down full specs in a sec.

EDIT: Changed Char name to LeDangereux Un (translated into English means "The Dangerous One")

[SirBaron]

I'll look for some skills to see what i can do, seeing as you need skills to make a corp.

Hell inbetween EVE i went to get some pizza in the microwave and I thought it said on the screen "Level 4 microwave skillset required for usage"

[m3talc0re]

Lol @ the microwave skill

I may download it again and try the trial again as well. Like I said though, I'll probably end up just getting bored with it again.

[FiggyG]

I don't play but I have a good piece of info... Make a backup of your boot.ini from C:\ before installing the latest patch! The game uses boot.ini as a configuration file, and a typo in the installer happens to write that file to your root drive, for most ppl, it's C:. It'll make Windows unbootable. Good day!

[SirBaron]

Yeah it was premium patch and only affected XP users, before the 4am GMT, since then it's been fixed.

See Vista has it's uses .

[Uber_Tiny]

Changed Char name to LeDangereux Un (translated into English means "The Dangerous One")

[Uber_Tiny]

Something is different from the first time I tried EvE. It's better, faster, funner. I have been moving right along in kicking ass and taking their ISK. Only have a couple hundred thousand of it currently. But that's because of upgrades and learning stuff and amo and weapons and ships. Should have another learned ability by the time I get home and then I can learn the first part of that ability to put things on your head....yeah I forgot the name. But that's gonna help allot. I also got a nice ship for completing all my missions for in particular individual. Things just seem better rounded than before. I like the fact that I could just jump right into the game without having to DL a shit load of updates (WoW) or get a bunch of additional applications to make it playable (WoW).

So over all I am finding this "second" experience to be allot better than my first!
