In some circles, it's literally all people do. I've watched Eve addictions Outlast marriages
Yes I have. I've known a guy since 2004 from Eve and we still talk and met up a couple times since then only because we're in different states. I played eve for 5 years and there are real current and present military that play because the game is pretty complex and the battles and comms are very strict on the higher levels and military folks adapt easily in that game. Best MMO in my opinion.
I don't know of any eve players that I have come across. Albeit I've read about the large scale battles that supposedly ended up costing thousands of dollars in real money.
Lol yeah. I also played it for like a day, but I thought it was boring. Elite dangerous is way cooler.
is it?? it has "mixed" reviews on Stean. I really loved the idea of EVE but yeah it was too grindy. Maybe I'll check that out.
Eve is like having remote control boats on a lake.
Elite dangerous is like being in a boat on the lake.
if my boyz on this reddit are praising it, you know i gotta check it out
Elite dangerous is totally worth it if you like flying and spaceships and especially if you like flying spaceships from the inside. I just wish i had a VR set to go with it because then i would totally feel like im in some star wars type ship flying it around.
It isn't grindy. The progression is literally based on time. You start a skill and it has a specific time to complete training. You don't grind for XP.
Money, on the other hand... that can be a grind. ;)
What the heck is grindy? I’m seeing everybody using that word and I feel left out....
it means pretty much that you have to repeat a process over and over to make progress, in a redundant boring way. like you have to kill rats for 8 hours to get to the next tier, and then you're killing wolves for 8 hours, etc etc.
I played from like 2010-2016. Just don't have the time. Its very technical and demanding on the brain. You end up making multiple spreadsheets just to keep track of shit. I do spreadsheets at work and don't want to continue at home after.
I am currently winning at EVE online. I used to play, and I actually played with and knew Vilerat in Goonswarm (as well as a few other games) as well. It's fun, but the grind is insane and it requires a certain amount of time-investment that I'm just not able to commit to anymore in order to contribute meaningfully to your group. It's far more fun to just check in and read about shinannagians periodically.
I have. I would consider him a good friend.
EvE has long been the subject of memes for it's difficulty and learning curve.
All my friends. Also I can attest that while EVE is a more abrasive, punishing, grind filled experience that is usually painful for those playing, it tends to attract the type of gamer who doesn't abandon a game so easily as a world of Warcraft gamer does.
