OverCoat Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Well we were in the machi mischief alliance and I was having a lot of fun with these guys, a lot more fun than with Quick. It's also quite a bit larger. This is a very different kind of corp so it's going to take a lot of getting used to. I basically have to practice being more adventurous and being more of an asshole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azumi_chan Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Been playing it for 4-5 months now, recently started up an alt-toon on a new account to maximize my mining. Active in the Weyland-Vulcan Industries, indeed a happy miner. Any miner oc-friends here feeling lonely, you're all welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellywu2 Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 Glad to see this thread is still going! I have recently returned to EVE after a year+ hiatus. Lots has changed, I haven't tried out any of the new exploration stuff yet, and I'm sad to see my NOSdomi has been nerfed! Feel free to add me to buddy lists. Character name is Ellywu.

OverCoat Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hey ellywu, how does CCP handle long player hiatus? Can you stop subscribing and a year later come back to the same character, or do you have to start from scratch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwaltzvald Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I've once took a 3 month hiatus from EVE, was still able to go back onto my account soon as I paid again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Author Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I think they keep them around, but with no guaranty that won't change. By the way, the extra gate in Angel Extravaganza demands more than 700 of tanking. Thankfully, I got out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellywu2 Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 afaik your character remains even if you cancel subscription. It used to be the case that you could put a long skill (cruiser V or something) on training, then cancel for a month and come back and it would be done. I think this has now changed with the introduction of a skill queue. Incidentally, it's about time they added a skill queue so I can train all the piddly little EWAR skills etc without having to log in every 8 hours or so!

OverCoat Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Thought I'd update this thread since it's been a while finally got my first goddamn kill http://antagonist.dk/xtc/kb/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=568 dude melted like ice [lol stealth bomber], and I even got his pod. For some reason he was sitting 100k off of a gate uncloaked and seemed to not notice me until it was too late, and torpedos do shit damage to frigates. I even had a warp scrambler, not a disruptor. Unfortunately, that scrambler's lack of distance made me lose a couple runaway targets today ;_; at least I learned my lesson! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the killboard of the friend of mine I demoed Eve with 4 months ago...I quit on the first day, he stayed. http://pigs.evekb.co.uk/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=217725 Then again, he has this maniacal pro gamer attitude with MMOs, haha.

OverCoat Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 In Rens?War target or you chose to get concorded? Chasing War Targets One of these guys ran all the way to Syndicate space for some reason, then back again. I think they're just trying to lead us on a wild goose chase. Also I don't think I'm that cautious - that may be my first kill but I still have 10 ship/pod losses to make up for, lol Running into a Triumvirate fleet a while back in 0.0 didn't help me much. Bye bye pod :V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverCoat Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Pipeline systems are fun you have to go through niarja to get from amarr to caldari space and vice versa, and it's a 0.5 system [with an ice belt!] so there's usually lots of nefarious things going on in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyonr1 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Ha ha, wow, I'm glad this thread is still going on. The raven pictures made me want to log in just to stare at my caldari navy Raven such an awesome ship And yeah, Stealth bombers are great when you actually use them smartly, as in Cloaking to 4/5 Covert ops to 4/5 and Torpedo SPECIALIZATION to 3/4 , that means Torpedoes to 5... I still haven't done it, but then again, I use my Raven for missions, and only touch my stealth bomber for killing structures, or just screwing around when I know I'm safe. They're great, but they ARE made out of paper. The only thing that saves them is the fact that they're frigate sized... and maybe a speed tank, but I've never tried it All of this reminded me to check my Cruise missile skill, 20 minutes to level 5, then specialization By the way, does anyone still go into the OCR channel anymore? Or does anyone still know about it? I've been pretty bad about it myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The wingless Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 A few people at work play this religiously. So I had one give me their 21-day free trial and have been at it for four days going on five. I still berate them for playing such a fucking stupid, prosaic, and laughably entertainment-less game. Having said that, please, can I hear your best Eve stories. The things that can *only* happen in EVE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Schwaltzvald on every now and then and I saw Ellywu ONCE... I saw Darangen but it was just some guy pretending to be Darangen [!] Wingless: Just read the whole thing between Band of Brothers and Goonswarm. This is what got me into the game: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/89219-More-EVE-Online-Shenanigans-GoonSwarm-Ganks-Band-Of-Brothers Player interaction is the most important part of EVE.

Having said that, please, can I hear your best Eve stories. The things that can *only* happen in EVE? I think you'd mostly get stories that don't sound too impressive for an outsider, full of EVE-specific terminology and gameplay logic. I suppose it's something you really have to get into to understand its appeal. I didn't btw, but my friend who plays it religously by now convinced me that it's pretty much the deepest MMO around. That doesn't mean that I feel any need to get into it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedFusion Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 this will get you into EVE, wingless or it should! Wowowowow. I thought I had devoured every EVE media around, and when I saw this new HD EVE video on youtube, I thought, "Oh damn, how could I have missed this?", then I realised, it's an official one, from CCP. Pre-buffering it now on YouTube. Can't. Wait. Edit: That was pretty cool. Not utterly epic, but did its job well. Something that I could actually show to friends and not have them still baffled as to what I showed them (e.g. Day of Darkness videos). The production values gone into the video were top notch (like that close up on the rifter and the associated scenes, phwoar). Great job CCP.

OverCoat Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 That's no Rifter, that's a Wolf! Almost the same hull though lol Day of Darkness is cool though because it contains Noisia :V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
