EvE trinety review?

Edward78 · 24 Dec 2007 at 23:40

Where can I find a good one, video review would be cool if you can find? I want to know things like is there any ui changes with the new graphics? Is it still just a pretty spreadsheet?

There are no major changes in Trinity that go beyond what you get in a selection of normal patchs, ie fixes, a few small new features and some new ships etc... well, apart from the improved graphics of course! The UI is almost identical but with the added ability to move a few extra things around, mainly the overview and related windows.

If you didn't like it before then you will probably never like it.

EVE is what you choose for it to be, if you wanted to look at a spreadsheet while playing, that was your choice.

I've been playing EVE since February 2005 over 3 characters, the only spreadsheet I have ever looked at relating to EVE is one detailing the max cargo capacity of haulers.

When I was doing Archaeology digging though old ruins the last thing that ever entered my mind was spreadsheets. When breaking into the pirate strong hold to hack into there vault I wasn’t thinking spreadsheets either.

I used to love eve, got so bored of it though.

Well I am thinking about it again, but the "job" feeling of the games scares me.

If you do nothing but work to survive (pay for time cards) - then its rubbish. If you run missions for few nights a week and then spend the weekend PvP'in with some mates it stops it being a chore.

Well last time a played I was in a corp. that well, basicly had on there corp. laws/rules that us lowbies where mindless drones & had to follow order no at all times, which ok I agree with the follows orders part, but the mindless drones was sort of well sucked to actually see. Plus when enemies were outside a station we were at, things got a little boring sitting inside doing nothing, but couldn't alt tab & surf, cause we had to be ready. I wish I could reactivate without my card info for a week & try it out again. I have a real hard time deciding on games as you see. Plus how well would it do on these specs (the new engine)? ASUSTeK Computer INC. K8U-X AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ 2.20GHz 1 Gig DDR-SDRAM NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS with 512 memory (AGP) Oh, wish I could see what my skills were without reactivating. I know I wanted to train cloak, not sure if I got to it.

You don't have access to your skills unless you resub, and I get from the jist of your drunken ramblings that you were in a crap corp. I suggest just looking round on the eve forum, or join a 0.0 alliance - dunno if Privateres are recruiting.

Drunken? I don't drink, I was thinking about joining OcUK.

Well with graphics turned right up it was fine on my PC at the time with 8800GTS 320MB. Things only slowed down if you forced AA on. However the graphic part of the patch is optional so if your PC can't handle it you're fine to not download it!

They're strictly no PvP.

Unless, of course, you find yourself sat helplessly in an asteroid belt, and a mean piwate comes along.

Hmmm, well any corp. that I can PvP in? Anyway I wanted to find a good review on it, but apparently there is none. You guys will help me even if I am not in your corp. right?

Depends on the type of help really (questions or actual in game help). The chat channels are normally pretty helpful but im sure people would be willing to help on the forums or ingame should you need them.

There area few big pirate corps out there, would that be what you are looking for?

Well I do want action. More of a layed back corp. would be nice, is layed back a known tem in the UK?

I'm sure there is a corp that suits each player style. You'll probably have to log on and ask around for that, I'm sure someone would know!

Muffin` · 26 Dec 2007 at 18:55

Do you have the one char? If you do you will be restricted to low sec - but the agents there do pay more, if your pirate mates protect you, you should be able to earn a living. I can't suggest anyone in particualr as I live a sheltered life in 0.0.
