lousiest January 28, 2013 Share lousiest Member January 28, 2013 Massive 2,800+ player battle in EVE Online took place today. Here's what that looks like... Why can't other MMOs support battles at this scale... I know GW2 could only support a couple hundred players at a time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onyxdragoon January 28, 2013 Share onyxdragoon Member January 28, 2013 (edited) There is a an unoffical Pokemon MMO with all regions and everything the pokemon games have. Plus, Online gaming is not as big in Japan compaired to Korea and China except for titles like Phantasy Star Online and Final Fantasy XI. Game Freak probably do not spend to much money developing the games. Thats why the main games are on handhelds so their profits are stupid high.

spazmeister January 28, 2013 Share spazmeister Member January 28, 2013 (edited) From my understanding, the developers turned down the game speed in that area to 10% of normal in order to facilitate such a massive fight. Supposedly the equivalent of nearly $20,000 real dollars was lost all because someone clicked a wrong button. Here's a (not) short explanation of things.

walkingCat January 28, 2013 Share walkingCat Member January 28, 2013 Reading about this event is much more interesting than watching it. What is the point of investing so much money and time into a game if you can't get anything back from it, money wise? And why would a new person start playing this game if there are so many alliances that already control the whole game? Pointless, or prove me wrong.

onyxdragoon January 28, 2013 Share onyxdragoon Member January 28, 2013 Entertainment. You can pay for EVEs online subscription with in game currency. It's like any other established MMO, clans/guilds have control over a server but it's still fun to play if you are not a competitive raider or pvper.

shaftiel January 29, 2013 Share shaftiel Member January 29, 2013 (edited) My MMO dream is a perfectly balanced mmo - hasn't been done yet. Everyone has differing comfort zones and skill. 'perfectly balanced' doesn't really mean anything. That being said, I agree with you. lol Shaftiel Edited January 29, 2013 by shaftiel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazmeister January 30, 2013 Share spazmeister Member January 30, 2013 After reading about the massive battle in EVE, I acquired a 21 day trial and I'm giving it a shot. So far it's not too bad. Sadly right now, I'm having to train up a lot of skills so I can improve my combat effectiveness. It definitely is 100% sandbox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why the main games are on handhelds so their profits are stupid high. The big thing is that Nintendo has screwed up when it comes to online connectivity. Friend codes? Really? Why not Friend LISTS. They fixed that with the 3DS. I hope the online functionality with Pokemon X and Y is a lot better than the previous games in the series. Back on topic though, I love how a misclick caused a war and $20,000 dollars lost. I tried playing EVE way back in the day and even during the tutorial, I looked a little like this. The game seems to have a really steep learning curve and if you can muscle through it, it seems like it would make for a good game experience.

I was expecting a steep learning curve but compared to last time I tried EVE, the tutorial is WAAAAAYYYY better. I haven't been confused or stumped yet. I did run into one issue but google made it easy to resolve. Otherwise, I give this trial run two thumbs up compared to my last try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLaw January 30, 2013 Share TheLaw Member January 30, 2013 Good ol' Eve it was a great MMO I only wish i had the money to renew my subscription for it, but it is probably best that I cant play it due to the overload of homework. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitarity February 11, 2013 Share Kitarity Member February 11, 2013 (edited) Not really like SOASE, EVE was fun but man did it drain my time. Speaking of, how do you guys find time to play so many games in GC? I'm drowning in my unplayed games list in Steam, and I plan on adding Minecraft to the list :/ Reasons I liked the CoD games, SP took 7 hours max and after that I uninstalled.

Sky February 11, 2013 Share Sky Member February 11, 2013 Don't feel bad, kit... when I do have time to play, I have to decide on whether I have time to sit down any of the ten or so new games that are installed that I've yet to get to. Speaking of lacking time... I have darksiders 2 installed, and I just started darksiders 1. My only gripe is there's this god awful bug which forces you to blow your horn repeatedly, and you have to sit there listening to the god awful audio file until it decides to stop. It makes me want to scream "stupid console port, why couldn't they spend five minutes fixing it up!" grr! lol. Also: Still haven't played ME2 or ME3, and still working on ME1. I'm like five years behind everyone else. Sadface. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
