Given you open your response to my last line of the quote of "Have a happy new year"...
It's clear you have problems with understanding basic quoting.. It's all good kid.. enjoy life..

I can easily verify what his claims are worth as I know (both in game and in person) some of the people he talks about. I know he does not get his information from actual involvement but from watching videos and reading internet posts. I would be happy to and challenge him to show what he is capable of, something conveniently ignored. It's possible that a lack of understanding of English is a reason for his continuous misunderstanding of context and arguments. It's also possible he is just the kid I think he is trying to 'be that guy'.. I could be wrong, sure and if I am I will be the first to admit it, apologize and move on but so far all I see is rhetoric on repeat and a stream of misinformed arguments.
I have no hatred of someone who disagrees with me at all. I do not "hate" anyone. The guy just can't stop ripping one comment out of context and use it as if it was used to argue something else. I'm all for open and frank arguments and discussion, I get neither from him. All we get is "you said this (nope), You claim that (nope) and this is the truth.. You are an idiot as I am right"
But It's obvious that there is no arguing or discussion here so I guess it's best to just ignore and let him rant. Concern there is though he will just inject himself in any discussion to get he attention he craves.

@CaptainTwerkmotor You can be very blunt and rude at times but I do agree with your stance, appreciate what your trying to do and I especially like your persistence. I don't really have the right to complain especially considering you are going around doing the work of 10 men, but could you try to be a little more patient with people? Not everyone is blessed with as much experience in pvp as you have and we don't want to scare away new blood.
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.

You claim NQ's words are "my" opinions? Are you serious? You done that in the past, but now you just did it openly and to a serious degree. You ignored the AMA post I linked. You are that much of a failtrain,,,.
Cheers, have a happy new year - and I hope your boss gets fired, that guy is an a-hole from what I gather and not the Starlord kind of a-hole.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.

You said those same things in your previous post, and as I pointed out they don't speak to any of my points.
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.

Yeah and that 'strict policy' is the safezone.
Still read your paragraphs the same way:
1) everyone will kill newbros in DU
2) noone kills them in eve
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.

Hm. So in your first Paragraph you say it would be bad for Du if everyone could be killed outside the safezone.
In your third Paragraph you explain why NO ONE is Killing newbros in eve.
It'll be Like in eve: some will be killed because some ppl just like to kill newbros. But most will just ignore them... Like in Eve....
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.

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.

Lol, you can't be bullied in EVE. Only thin-skinned people from Providence get easily offen-- oh... yeah... that's your lot. EVE"s butt-end of the joke "Providence is safe".
You want Babysitting, NQ is adamant on not babysitting, they sold the game as such on the AMAs of the Kickstarter. But don't let NQ's own interpretation tell you what's the facts, I bet you have a better insight than the developers on what they want for the game. As they said "griefing and scamming won't be punished, harrassment is where we intervene". What's harrassment? Telling people "I will skin your cat alive". That's harrassment. Or GigX, claiming he would cut the Judge's hands' off. Thatr's harrassment.
Here's the hypocrisy with your lot.
You don't care for scams, or economic warfare or blockades - which is what mercs do, grief a group of people or the same people to stop them from importing in a market. I guess you are either that much of a noob in EVE or never done anything that Pew Pew, if you don't know what Mercs do in eVE, which your above claims SCREAM "I never done monopolies in EVE".
Why I think you don't care for economics? Cause you think "DUAL has no PVE, thus, I won't have to grind mobs for days, thus I can farm my materials, so, all I need is magical immunity to bullets" or more aptly "Novaquark, babysit me, whoaaaaa".
You also don't want meaningful content or things like Rooks & Kings, or WingspanTT or anyone who farms you Providence folk for the lolzies and that youtube ad revenue. Yeah, WingspanTT, I bet you would love seeing them gone, right? Right??????? He's a profesional troll in EVE, ganking people, then sending them mocking letters for those sweet sweet salty tears. Rooks & Kings, destroying fleets of ships cause jsut "they can". They didn't even loot the wrecks, just left the wrcks to attract more kills by SALVAGING SHIPS.
So, you don't want all the interesting parts of EVE. Right. Why you play EVE ????? You clearly don't like its main attraction, so, wwhy are you palying EVE?
More importantly, why are you in this community???? You clearly bought a Sapphire Pledge, so, you must be really into EVE's main allure, so, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE IF YOU DON'T WANT EVE'S FREEDOM????
Furthermore, you don't want bounty hunting. Cause you can't talk tough (or shit), if other people can hire people to grief you, right?????? I have a thick skin and have succumbed to Harden The Frak Up from exposure to EVE Online. I don't care. If they send griefers after me, I don't care, I will have content being delivered to my doorstep, every day, every hour of my playtime. But you? You would ask for "PVE servers" if you could at this point.
Seriously, people, pay mercs to come after me, I don't give a crap for griefing. All it's gonna do is just make me better at avoiding ganks.That's where your hipocrisy shows, your lot wants to talk tough and claim "HTFU", but when the chips are down? You show your spineless self and your thin-skin. You are SUPER SOFT, so toughen up, you are making the rest of EVE's playerbase look like WoW players.
Bounty Hunters will farm you for money - if they succeed and bait you, like it's done in EVE, you would know if you where ever hired to grief someone specific.
Mercs will be hired to blockade you and your whole corporation/guild/w-e like it's 1774 (good year for privateers, look it up). BLOCKADING IS GRIEFING ON LARGE SCALE.
General banditry will be a thing, cause why not? That's how CIVILISATIONS START. Spartans? Just thugs who took over territory. The Spaniards? Just thugs taking over indigenous people's lands - that's history, not politics - and then taking their gold as well, establishing "new colonies".Bad people, exist, you can't shy away from it, it's up to you to HTFU and going out there to show them who's boss.
And I can make a prediction, DU's "Providence", will be the Arkzone. A good place for newbros and RPers, but really not secure enough to worth it staying forever.You know, I never interacted directly with Signal Cartel, but you are not good material to promote them. You are way too soft, you probably crumble under pressure as well.
Cheers, god bless, have a happy new year and may you HTFU in 2018 (mainly for your sake, if griefers can "bully" you, I don't even want to IMAGINE what's happening in your head when your boss yells at you directly, in a sound-proof office).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.

It's really funny to watch this discussion as the "carebears" seem to think that newbros will be killed instantly by a huge numbers of big bad griefers outside the safezone.
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 it works for YEARS now. People are perfectly safe in null space and whs.
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.

You do understand it's not "one server" and that the whole ... you know... thing about DU, it's that the server netcode they use is making the whole thing work, right?
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'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..

The eventual system requirements for DU are not yet known with only the requirements for the (not yet optimized) pre alpha builds available.
As Lethys stated though, expecting a game which draws heavily on the GFX capabilities of your hardware is not realistic. You are basically running 6 year old laptop/mobile hardware in your MacMini and as a general rule this hardware, while fine for everyday web/mail/mediaconsumption use, is not intended to be used for such applications. Having dedicated GFX hardware with it's own memory is not a luxury in this case.
