You forgot the "/s" as you must not be serious in thinking he has any actual experience or skill in PVP. He is also not 'doing the work of 10 men' but I expect just a kid with his thoughts considering anyone outside his train of thought to be an idiot. We'll see once DU goes live what he is really able to do. I predict he'll turn out to be a shit talking ganker/griefer (In itself fine.. it's part of what a game like DU and EVE enable/allow) who will use being "hidden" in a large organization to cover his back while it lasts. So far he talks a lot but really has nothing to say nor backs up anything he says about his 'prowess' in PVP with facts.

No I don't and never have. Another example of what seems to be a delusional mind. Your one track mind seems also unable to read and recognize basic English and always falls back to the same misplaced and irrelevant nonsense response. Frankly, I pity you for your mindset. Maybe you should try talking to a mirror when you go on your rants as they seem to pretty much reflect your own attitude and misconceptions.

Because he really does not know anything about the subject matter and assumes whatever he thinks is going on (in other games). He does not play EVE, has no actual knowledge of the game mechanics and by his very comments basically confirms as much. All he has is a collection of images he copied, Youtube videos he has watched and Reddit posts he read. For him these are what defines EVE and the people that play it. He is unable to recognize that what people say about each other in game is generally just banter and play. He does not even realize he is using the _exact_ same attitude and terminology against anyone who does not blindly accept whet he believes to be the truth. Just the simple fact that there's quite a few here who can easily debunk his nonsense should tell you who is actually incorrect.. But arguing is pointless as he'll just rehash the same rhetoric without ever actually backing up anything he says.. I've thrown him a challenge which he has consistently ignored.. obviously because he would be exposed as the clueless troll he is. It would be nice if there was an ignore button but there is not. Also, as NQ seems to be fine with his attitude I guess we'll see this community go towards LoL and WoW level of toxicity fairly quickly once more of these kids start showing up.

Silly little boy.. Such a big mouth, yet nothing to show for it..

1/ not what I said nor implied 2/ Not for funzies as in "Let's camp the newbro training systems and blab them just because we can" I never said that it will be common practice in DU that newbros get killed as soon as they leave the safezone. I have said that I would consider that deplorable and anti-social behaviour which serves no purpose but to kill someone just because you can. It would be like standing outside someone's house and shoot them in the head as they open the door just because you have a gun. I am also convinced there are and will be those who would consider the above perfectly acceptable in game.

You may want to go back and reread the context, then understand what I actually wrote as you seem to have misread and/or misunderstood. No one goes around killing newbros, in fact the newbro starting/training zones have a rather strict policy against that and it will be enforced quite strongly by CCP. Will there be those who think it's cool to hang around the border of the ARK zone in DU and pop off new players/players leaving the zone? Probably, but IMO that's just sad and frankly senseless behaviour which basically makes you a lowlife. Point I am making is that while anyone can do whatever they feel is worth their time in DU (like in EVE) I do not have to accept nor agree with that behaviour just because it can be done. Apparently for some that means I am a carebear and do not understand the intentions or vision of NQ for the game.

@CaptainTwerkmotor You are so deep in your own little dreamworld you really have no idea how silly you are and clueless. You are one of those kids who consumes content from resources like YT and Reddit and thinks that is what a game or dare I say life is like. You continue to show a continued lack of social skills, inability of arguing anything without resorting to name calling and insults and generally display the behaviour of a delusional kid who thinks the world is just a bunch of idiots for not recognizing what you think is the truth. I tried, for once, to provide actual context to your drivel but unfortunately (and not unexpected) it just results in more of the same. You obviously are unable to read and/or comprehend basic English and read into whatever someone writes what suits you. And as expected, when faced with an actual dare/challenge you just skip over it. You know nothing kid, you're just a disruptive element trying to look tough and cool without realizing how weak you are in your arguments and reasoning.

For once I'll defang each of your BS comments: I never talked of being bullied in EVE, in fact bullying in EVE will get you permabanned by CCP as it is a violation of the TOS. I completely understand why GigX made the commenst he did under the conditions he did it but agree it is not acceptable. Sadly CCP is very selective with taking such actions as more high profile players have in fact made comments at least as bad in public, at EVE events and remain in place untouched. I never claimed I wanted babystiing, that is in your twisted head. In fact I have on several occasions ben quite clear I see nothing wrong with ganking or griefing as such. The 'mercs' in EVE are wardeccers and blobs who will sit in blinged ships preying on what they can easily kill with no risk . These Merc will run and dock up as soon as anything remotely able to bring an actual fight shows up because they are not there for the fight, they are there for the killboard being green and not take any risks/chances to get that. There is no monopolies in EVE.. I'd challenge you to point one out. I care for economics, in fact you have no clue what that means or does. You just know the word. WingspanTT is a groups of players with a very sneaky and interesting idea of gameplay and they go to great length to make their way of playing possible. Their tactics and methods I do not always agree with but I've had great fun with them in game. I know quite a few of them and actually have met several players IRL.. R&K are tactical masterminds who operate well beyond your comprehension of what the game can offer which is why you tend to trashtalk their actions when it suits you. Frankly you are starting to show you really have no idea what either WSP or R&K do or how they operate, just that you watched their YT content. Your comments about EVE, what it's main attraction is and why I would be here are just laughable and even more establish you as a wannabe kid with no clue but what YT and Reddit tell you. I very much doubt you even have a serious history in EVE and even if you are active you have _no clue_ about the game outside of pewpew which is just a part of the game when you have the motivation and original thinking ability to make the game whatever you like. I have been very clear as well that it is my opinion DU can become the next level on what EVE offers and I will take the good and the bad in that respect. I do not care for 'Mercs' in EVE as they are a waste of time to mess with as they tend to be scared kids who run and hide if you actually bring a fight. And where did I not want bounty hunting? If properly implemented that could be very interesting and lucrative. If it's done like in EVE it would be a joke. You want Mercs after you? Why don't you share your main toon name in EVE, feel free to DM me if you like, and I'll come hunt you myself as I am convinced you have no idea .. Pretty sure though you'd just stay docked up and offline for a while to avoid the consequences of your challenge. HTFU has _nothing_ to do with what you are blabbing about. Again.. no clue 'Bounty hunters will farm you for money' - Man you are thick and show you are truly clueless as bounty hunting is not worth anyone's time in EVE and frankly I can find anyone at anytime they are online in EVE within 5-10 minutes.. it's really not hard and again, this shows you are clueless I'm not going into detail, but Proviblox (and my main toon is not actually part of that, he just lives and operates out of there) knows exactly who is hiring which group to do what.. It's the usual suspect and their tactics are predictable as well as easy to trap and counter. The Provi Rapid Response Fleet will make short work of them once they are done with their antics. Provi Intel knows where they are, when they are there and where they go. It's part of how some choose to play the game and that is fine as it _is_ part of the game. As said, it's also extremely easy to work around just like wardecs. Blockading is not griefing at all, again here you show you really are clueless and this is also where your misunderstanding of the concepts comes from. To get back to Provi.. A gate camp will only exists for as long as it is tolerated. If required the PRF will deploy and generally the campers will be gone before they are engaged because, again, risk averse. Again, I have no problem with bandits, in fact I agree they will/must be part of the game. Bandits are not griefers though. Again, you have _No Clue_ of what goes on in Provi, in fact I doubt you understand anything about what goes on in EVE. And you certainly have no idea about Signal and frankly I pity you for apparently needing to keep bringing up things you really do not understand to try and appear tough.. You're really not though, in fact you are quite the opposite. Oh and my boss does not yell at me because for one, he has no reason to as I am his strongest team leader and he is well aware that yelling at employees that you manage (or anyone for that matter) is a sign of weakness and inability to lead, something you may learn one day. In general, it is quiet obvious you use this forum as a way to vent your frustrations and potentially inability to manage your direct surrounding otherwise. I get that and I guess it is what it is, so we'll have to learn to live with it.

Actually that is exactly what some here are advocating should be possible/allowed/implemented/done. 'This is a multiplayer game so you are supposed to be part of a group and as such be able to deal with the griefers waiting on the border to kill you' If you get away from a gate camp in a battleship in EVE it is either a small or a badly set up camp. A proper camp will destroy you and have help waiting if needed. You will possibly get a few kills but you will die yourself as you will get pinned down, scrammed, bubbled, webbed before you are able to align out and killed from range. In EVE there is no pilots flying around in highsec just popping any newbro as there is no gain in doing that. Ganks are generally well organized and target only what will provide profit after taking the losses from the CONCORD action on the suicide. Access gates to Nullsec are sometimes camped, some more than others. I do agree that in EVE it is certainly beneficial to join a corp as a source of information and education. If you choose you can then go and join fleets or activities or go out solo. I prefer to be out on my own and will be perfectly able to get away form gate camps in a lot of different ships. It's just funny how you and others seem to consider anyone not in agreement with your ideas on this as being carebears which frankly is nonsense. Carebears are the wardeccers who will run and dock up as soon as anything remotely able to engage and kill them shows up. Carebears are the pilots who will not engage unless they are able to drop a cyno and get Capitals or Blops on grid to kill a solo ratter. I have no problem with anyone trying to hunt and kill me when I am on a exploration roam as that is part of the game and certainly the fun. Most griefers also stay far away from NullSec as they would not last very long. We had some members of CODE try and do their thing in Provi recently.. Let's just say they were sent home to a fresh medical clone fairly quickly. But this discussion is pretty much pointless as no one will change their mind and frankly it will be a year or so before we get to a point where this becomes relevant anyway.

The notion that by deafult an MMO by it's middle M is to be played in groups is really silly and frankly misplaced. All it says is that multiple players will and can be active in the same world, not that people should be forced to right off the bat work together to fence off griefers and thugs who stand around and shoot whomever tries to get out of the Arkzone. It seems that some who potentially have been bullied and victims in EVE without any real way out now look towards DU to basically become the bully. The interpretation of what NQ is putting on their website and general attitude of 'all about combat and conquest' is IMO wrong and should be addressed swift and hard by NQ. Some seem to not be able to rationalize the marketing talk on a website and take it literally. It won't fly as that attitude will cost DU players and as a result income. This will become a problem in DU if not addressed right from the start and I fully expect NQ will do as much. What some here are basically saying is "I can have guns, so it's fine for me to go kill people" and no, it has nothing to do with HTFU if you think that it does. It only shows you have no idea of what that term stands for. There needs to be consequences for choosing to be a bully or a ganker as it is not to be considered social gameplay. In fact is it anti-social and villainous and by choosing that path you place yourself outside society. Now if I decide to go out and transport my resources or run cargo between planets without taking defensive precaution and get attacked and robbed, that is a very different story. But that is not what we are talking about here.

In EVE NullSec and Wormhole space are actually generally much more safe due to the population being much less dense and the rules of engagement are very simple unlike HighSec. While I live in a very highly populated area of NullSec I only have to travel a few systems and not run into anyone while roaming across many solar systems. Travelling from one Nullsec region to another is safest through Wormhole space and we have extensive databases on routes and connections as they change. While most players in EVE do not get any further than (and are perfectly happy with) joining a corp and engaging in the usual PewPew the game has a huge amount of content and 'things to do' which really were never originally intended or designed to be used that way.. It's what keeps EVE at the forefront of MMO games. I certainly intend to find the 'backroutes' and strange things I have no doubt will exist in DU.. If there is to be a game able to take what's great about EVE and bring it to the next I do believe it is DU.

It's one of the most misunderstood things about being 'Single Shard'. Frankly the term is a nice marketing catchphrase but it means very little in relation to how the cluster for DU will work. Will everyone be on the same server? No, of course not. Will a specific location always be on the same server in the cluster? Not as I understand it as the servers are using a very dynamic system of scaling up or down as far as space goes depending on how many players are in a certain location at any given time.. A big thing though is that from what I understand objects further away will not be fully rendered and you will have fairly limited information available of these objects unless you get closer. This may actually cause an issue when using sniping or long distance observation or weapons. This certainly becomes more of a thing when it is dynamic and the distance at which the effect kicks in is related to the number of objects in a certain area (as in, when you are in a densely populated area you can't snipe to the same distance as compared to a quiet area). It certainly will require NQ to be more clear on how this will affect actual gameplay but it is not something that is of immediate concern and I'd guess this does not really come into play until late in Alpha2.

PVP should serve the purpose to get interesting and enjoyable engagements and fights. If it turns into a feeder for stats and killboards it overshoots and becomes a nuisance where people do not engage for the fights but for the stats on the KB. It creates risk-averse play styles where the fun is basically completely overshadowed by the need to show a green killboard. IMO there should also be a mechanic to hold those who attack others without reason accountable. Not sure who this should work but if DU goes the 'freely engage anything without reason' route it will IMO not end well. Being a bully, a thief or a pirate is fine, but there needs to be consequences if you get caught. I fear though that this will be a game mechanic that will not get addressed just because it's to difficult to get right. The result will probably be 'every man for himself' and with the general tendency that is already developing on several levels to make it all about combat and conquest I have little hope for the community component to actually have accountability built in..

_IF_ CCP were to decide to work aon a DU like game, their experience and presence in the market will reduce those 4-5 years to probably 2 and as they have their tools and Designs mostly set their cycle will be shorter so the'd probably shoot for a similar release.. Remember that actual DU release will be (IMO) at least 18 months away, probably more

I played Aurora during Eve Vegas.. its's ehrm.. well .. meh

I'll just leave this here.. One of my fellow Signaleers made it .. It may not be your thing, you may not get it.. But if you do..Enjoy.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsBG_ivPANI

fiverr is where to go..

I'd agree that a voxel based game will be hard when set in the EVE universe because of the basically set models that make up that universe. That they appear to go with UE4 does kind of define their ideas.

There has been speculation and rumours flying around but it appears CCP has now all but officially announced they are working on (for lack of a better title right now) EVE 2 .. A recruitment add for a lead designer on " a new and highly ambitious MMORPG." Without turning this into a bash fest It would be interesting to discuss what the implications may be even when we really do not know anything about the project. For me it would only be reasonable to assume the title will be more like DU and less like SC or similar because well, it's been done and frankly I consider EVE to be well above SC in almost any way you look at it. Having a voxel based world in the EVE universe would make sense. The back story is there, the developer has the knowledge and staff who know and understand the lore. It's all guessing and CCP may take this in a completely different direction but I doubt it, especially since everything they do that diverts from EVE has basically failed. EVE itself is still going string but is held back by legacy code especially for the server core and client/server communication. From talking to devs during EVE Vegas it's obvious it is more and more a struggle to get new stuff done because of the legacy code which is so fragile no one really wants to get close to it. It will be interesting to see if anything comes out during FanFest this year as basically the adds now up spill the beans. For NQ this may mean they need to revise and tighten their development cycle as running into delays where CCP may well have the room and staff to go full steam with many tools and ideas fleshed out. Again, if the CCP title is something else altogether maybe not so much but with CCP having basically shut down everything but EVE now I'd venture to think they are going for EVE 2 here. If CCP were to be aiming to transition EVE into EVE 2 that would pose a potential bigger issue still as far as EVE players coming to DU. For me, I am wuite invested in EVE and if CCP were to allow more freedom close or equal to DU it would be a challenge at least.. Big issue may be that CCP will probably have more and easier access to media and could potentially get more and better coverage once they announce.. We'll have to see.. And no, I do not think this is for the mobile game, frankly that one is not all that great and last we heard was developed by a 3rd party anyway.

Big absentee is obviouzly EVE Online which qualifies as much as ED does. Generally this poll is at best badly set up. It's nice to see DU ahead but we all know it's because a very limited number of people are repeat voting.

Get a group of explorers together.. Design and build a baseship.. Get away from any rock unless we really need to be there. I live out of a ship in EVE and it suits me well .

In all fairness, DU is not an existing game so it should not be on the list really. Next year I would hope so yes, but not for 2017..

of course we can.. it's 42 .. It's always 42

Pretty much this:

Very slim to none
