FD: Apparently Elite got noticed, not in a good way
- Thread starter Lancing
- Start date
Sure, but lot of newcomers will pick up ED or SC not EVE because they are easier to get into. Before them there was no big choice there - either EVE, or nothing.
Hold on, does Eve has a worse learning curve than ED? Or a "no-mouse" UI? It might have more depth, but learning curve?
EVE is just truly a different game. If you were looking for a space sim, you know, where you fly the ship, EVE isn't the game. During the drought there were many mods to some of our favorite classics that kept space cockpit sims fresh and interesting.
I'm not sure if these folks would like ED, their playstyle is much more about management and I just can't see how it is going to lose players to games that are fundamentally different. Rather, they are losing players because it has run its course.

they would have done that anyway, because the games aren't related in any way other than involving space, I mean why don't they grief people playing space engineers or X3, or dirty freelancer multiplayers!!! I think the whole idea is ludicrous, I genuinely hope they have come over en masse to grief noobies because it would be a bigger sign of stupidity than I thought was genuinely possible.
ROFL
B.R.I.N.G. I.T. O.N.
Eve players want to grief and thrown their weight around?
Let them try it. I for one will welcome their attempt and be one of the first to shove it straight up their power-plants....repeatedly. Hell, the entire Community will turn on them faster than a speeding ticket!

What kind of tragic no life loser would do this? Some people really are weird and need to take a long hard look at themselves....
Fear No EVE-Ill
For those tempted to bag on EVE over this, I do feel compelled to advise against assuming everyone who plays EVE is a griefer or otherwise lumping millions of current and former players into some collective cabal of evil bent on destroying online gaming.
The reality is somewhat less sinister, even if EVE's reputation for brutality is carefully cultivated by the community itself. Most of the people I knew in EVE were quite nice, really, even in the particularly nasty pirate corp I rolled with.
It's all a matter of context.
As others have already noted, for any group -- from EVE or anywhere else -- to presume to destroy ED by buying and playing the game is obviously an absurd conceit, so FUDding around too much with that is really rather silly, I think.
Besides, would-be EVE griefers would no doubt be out-griefed by ED's highly-esteemed and well-established cadre of dedicated griefers anyway, so if this is really a thing, then by all means bring it on.

first post so in i go
I have been reading the forum for some weeks now. I have had to register to answer this post.
First I have to say. I question the definitions of griefing and trolling many people use.
The lack of thought in many posts that complain of trolling and griefing, but then do just that in type.
Anyway to answer the post
BRING IT ON!

I can and will say it absolutely has not been conformed in any way. If it has please explain exactly where you heard that.
"OK, guys, here's the deal -- we'll get a boatload of us to purchase the game in order to assault other people who have also purchased the game in order to keep the game from getting any sales!"

The great thing about ED? Character...er.. Player development. In ED you cannot take several slaved accounts and build up characters to have skills. There is no value in selling off accounts to corp mates. There is nothing there to sell. So what you have a reputation. So what they get an account to Elite status. That doesn't actually get them anything.
Good luck multiboxing 4 ED sessions at once on a single system. Good luck trying to get a bot program to dock a ship, let alone exit and follow someone.
The best thing that can happen? FD makes all icon's solid until they are fully scanned. This will permanently take out the grieving aspect if no one knows who's a human and who's an AI.
The worst thing? FD gives up, provides us the code as promised, and everyone starts up their own servers to play in thier own offline mode. The very mode I actually bought in for.

Eve is a awsome game with a crap business model and crap community. I will never, never buy a subscription based game in my life.
Haters gonna hate
Funny because I see WAY more Eve bashing on these forums than I ever see Elite bashing on the Eve forums...so which community is crap again? And yes, I play and love both games, quit lumping everybody into one mold.

Lot of honesty and common sense in what this guy has said. I would say the players in EVE that are rotten to the core comprise less than 5% of the player base. I knew a lot of really good players during my EvE stint. But that 5% really did completely screw the game itself up.
So fact is, there may be a lot of former EvE players that are coming here just to leave that mess, not necessarily to do ED any harm. I'm actually one of those players.
Yes there may be some heading here, but they will discover mode switching at will, which I'm certain will bring tears to even the most intrenched "EvE Demigod". The bottom line is in ED, the're just another player. That's the way
is should be! were all just players, enjoying the game the way we want.

Well, at least this is easier in ED - just flood the router of your opposition if you are so determined to "win"
