Only spelling mistake was Slaanesh, and you weren't far off. But Orcs are Warhammer Fantasy, It would be Orks for 40k, so you had the wrong setting. Should be Dark Elves instead of Dark Eldar.

But I'd be more inclined to describe EVE players as Empire/Imperium (Empire for Fantasy, Imperium for 40k). They're not a particularly unified group, and there's plenty of internal strife preventing them from being the singular entity they often appear to be from an outside perspective, but they're HUGE and they share many common enemies against whom even the most disagreeable fellow Imperial will be considered a valuable ally.

(Empire for Fantasy, Imperium for 40k).

I cant belive I actualy posted in a thread with orcs and stuff in it

I think FPS players won't care about the big sov issues to start out with.

CCP needs to focus on "Salvage" first.

We need to get that "THISISMETAKINGYOURSTUFF" into the game.

Salvage needs to come from the bodies of dead clones not random Officer Drops (ie pve). Losing the match means NO salvage.

That's the beginning of this type of game like Eve Online and Darkfall.

The motivations to the bigger parts of "THISISMETAKINGYOURSTUFF" like Faction Warfare and Nullsec need to build on this basic.

I see what you did there!


Anyway, more seriously, I actually started getting into this game simply because I like to feel that I'm having some sort of impact. I also like that you feel invested in yourself and actually feel like you have something to lose/something to gain.

In CoD/Halo/Whatever else, nothing really matters. You fight, rank up, see your stats, then move on. I could die 50 times in a Black Ops match and go to the next battle with a completely clean slate.

In this game, if I start getting shredded too many times, I start looking at my loadouts, seeing what I can drop/add to help me out, while also doing everything I can to dampen the strain to my wallet.

If I get blown up while flying a Banshee in Halo, I don't think twice. If my Myron gets blasted by a Forge Gun, I actually care.

Also, as a plus, I just opened up an Eve account as well, which I think was part of CCP's tactics from the get go. I played this, got curious with the Eve universe and decided to check out the 'other side.'

Granted, Eve Online is a lot less intuitive that Dust so far (which is saying a lot since Dust isn't exactly intuitive), but I've taken enough of an interest to try sorting things out.

I smart EvE player will release that even smart FPS players wont deal with the BS that comes with EvE online, the reason every FPS panders to that crowd is because that wants every FPS loves. Were all here because we want more from shooters that true. but are core nature is not going to change.

your in a gangland trying to act CEO is just going to get you shot

Lol, talks about salvage over sov. So far from the imperfects in this thread i've seen exactly what i've always said. They don't understand this game, it's too big for them to understand. If you want to sit back and live in your own little world and never par take in the sov mechanics or if you want to turn on who hired you, enjoy never being hired again and watching your corp dwindle. I suspect that any corp who doesn't look seriously into the deepest aspects of this game instead of salvage and loot will fade and die within a year of launch. Deuces.

"they will just want to watch your worlds burn" and they WILL turn on you in seconds if the price is right.

I do not plan to release the people at all.
We are all gamers here. We all intend to burn and destroy the enemy with whatever implement we have available.
Intent remains the same no matter if the implement is a HAV, AR or battleship.

These artificial factional lines will make less sense over time.
I know eve players who operate in very short bursts of violence rampaging from fight to fight, as well I know FPS players who are long game schemers.

Bored of this drama already.
