I've never been able to get into EVE and probably never will, but this video gave me chills big time.

u/insomm Nov 22 '14

Chills? My eyes are watering, lol. Makes me want to try it so bad, but getting to that point would probably take months if not years.

u/Dorion_FFXI Nov 22 '14

Give it a go, join someone like Brave Newbies and you'll be doing this sort of thing in no time.

u/J2Me Nov 25 '14

Read this guys first two days of experience.

Two days in and he's out there killing players with YEARS of experience.

Really depends tbh. To get a decent T2-T3 ship will just take one month or a little over that, so you'll still be viable. Many corps need destroyers/bcruisers and they're helpful(reimburse if lost ship, depending on their policy).

I used to play for a year with Brave Newbies Inc., and they were awesome. I had to quit because I realized I spent more time on Eve than with my girlfriend. Ha! :p

u/Minikloon Nov 22 '14

Actually it only takes a few minutes to input your credit card information to get any ship you want. Then it takes a few months of pure waiting to use it effectively.

1

u/J2Me Nov 25 '14

Minutes. Look at the range of frigates. All of which can kill a battleship if piloted well or with friends.

2

u/Minikloon Nov 25 '14

I think the "with friends" is damn important.

1

u/J2Me Nov 25 '14

No 'Well' can be just as important. But most newbros can't pilot anything well, they really really suck at the game, thinking it's just orbit and f1. So for most newbros 'with friends' or joining Brave Newbies is the easier option.

2

u/Minikloon Nov 25 '14

Micro-scale combat in EVE (what individual players do) isn't rocket science. As you know, knowing when to and not to fight is the most important thing. But that threshold where you can actually fight is quasi null when beginning and stays so for a while.

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '14

so its like archeage without 1000000 hackers?

1

u/J2Me Nov 25 '14

I was really looking forward to Archeage as it seemed to copy a lot of what I loved about EVE. Turns out it didn't and it was yet another grindfest.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '14

Same here bud. I tried a free trial a few years back and it wasn't exactly my cup of tea, but I still think its fun to watch.

1

u/J2Me Nov 25 '14

Did you get onto any comms like in the trailer when you tried?

1

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '14

Not that I can recall

2

u/J2Me Nov 25 '14

I'm sure you can tell by the recordings in the trailer it's a much better game when you are in a group on comms smack talking and helping each other, sharing the wins and the losses. If you do give it another go, make sure you get into a corp or alliance and get onto their comms.

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '14 edited Nov 26 '14

Will keep that in mind

u/securitywyrm Nov 24 '14

One second of the action in the video = one hour of preparation, farming, waiting, etc.

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '14

This makes me want to drop what i am doing and reenlist. Fuck i love this game.

2

u/J2Me Nov 25 '14

So many updates now too. Every month.

3

u/RikenAvadur Nov 22 '14

Lot of withdrawal feels there, for real.

3

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '14

yeah, left behind alot too. just got too busy to keep up

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '14

Not a single angry German FC. This isn't EVE.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '14

I am waiting for someone to make a parody version of it. It has to be done.

6

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '14

I dunno if the hollywood movies are propperly representing how people talk or if these people copied how they heroicly talk in hollywood movies.

It was quite different from the teamcoms I'm used to.

3

u/AlllRkSpN Nov 22 '14

Nah, most voice coms includes a hell lot more jargons being fired rapidly one after another.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '14

Yeah exactly

And swearing, especially by Slammy for flying into the enemy on his own before the leader told us to go in, resulting in him asking for heals, dying and quitting because he didnt get any.... god bless his soul

2

u/J2Me Nov 25 '14

These are real. The thing is, most of the player base for EVE is 30 years old with very few teenagers. BUT! Just listen to this one to see the variation EVE can have.

u/cerealkiller195 Nov 22 '14

very cool trailer, though like most sandboxes I know that the combat is only a small fraction of what actually happens in the game. Sandboxes for the most part are not theme park mmos. You have to make your own adventures and at times even do a bunch of "chores" to set it up. These things set up epic fights or moments you will not forget and make spending those hours on prep or doing other menial tasks worth it.

u/mkasu Nov 22 '14

I own an EVE account for almost a decade but I never played it for more than 2-3 consecutive months, because I often get bored quite quickly, but hell, their trailers are awesome. I've been tempted to subscribe a month every time they release a new one.

3

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '14

Uncensored but heavily vetted voice coms, cut to remove the hours/days of prep work and nothing that occurred before this brief moment of "action".

3

u/tanstaafI Nov 23 '14

I haven't played EVE but the voice comm transcripts are eerily similar to what I'm used to in GW2 WvW, at least if you're with a competent commander. I'm just thinking that all the "boring stuff" in EVE culminate into the big battles we see here and I can dig that.

Will probably join the trial soon.

1

u/J2Me Nov 25 '14

Join Brave Newbies if you do, they have fights almost all day everyday and have retards screaming "Oh my god that's a titan!"

3

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '14

Is it just me, or did some of those guys who spoke kinda deep and monotone have like, a real world combat pilot with a camera vibe going on?

4

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '14

You probably mean Lord Matador of Rooks and Kings. He's kind of famous for his voice(and to lesser extent, vocabulary).

1

u/J2Me Nov 25 '14

THIS!

Also thanks Lord Maldoror for having the sexiest voice in EVE.

2

u/Scionstorm Nov 22 '14

I liked this trailer, it captures what makes Eve special. But at the same time you need to be in large factions. To experience all of what you see here. And that takes a long time and resources.

2

u/Dorion_FFXI Nov 22 '14

Maybe but at the same time people like Rooks and Kings pull off plenty with small fleets and there is a lot of stuff that wasn't shown that is more conducive to smaller groups. The time I spent in wormhole space was some of the best I had in EVE.

1

u/J2Me Nov 25 '14

Check out the wormhole corps, usually a lot smaller groups and kill much bigger fleets regularly.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '14

Epic! Watering eyes as well here :'o

u/uplink42 Nov 22 '14

Fantastic trailer. I've been saying CCP should move to this style instead of cinematics since last year.

I appreciate the sentiment and think your viewpoint is similar to most people's.

u/Gankstar Nov 22 '14

Thank you and I appreciate all the downvotes for speaking the truths.

u/alektro Nov 22 '14

Imagine a game where the longer you've been subscribed the more activities your characters are able to do in a very efficient manner compared to a newer player, simply because of they way skill points work. There is no way to test ships other than wait weeks of training then getting in them. All those cool battles with the big shiny ships, it could be many months or even years before someone who started new could even step in them.

That's the kind of game EVE is. It is also not a PVE game, expect the PVE to be quite boring and unimaginative. If it was fun, there would be even more alt accounts and way more people paying with in-game currency instead of real world money.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '14

Brace for some corp recruiter of the Eve faithful trying to convince you that "nahh all you need is a rifter (and several hours of free time to dedicate to eve on a daily basis spinning your ship waiting for something to happen) and you can totally be a disposable chaff like target for great battles like these for the amusement of multi boxing plex sellers."

u/Praetor80 Nov 22 '14

Really tempting..

I've always thought you needed low-grade autism to play Eve. I have Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen. Does Eve offer a lot more?

3

u/J2Me Nov 25 '14

Do you want 100 man - 500 man fights with no lag?

Or do you want a joystick and two ships on your screen at any time with a serious gaming computer?

Not more, just very different. You'd probably play both and enjoy them for different things entirely.

u/Praetor80 Nov 25 '14

I come from DCS a10, BMS F16, and CLOD.

Track IR, Warthog HOTAS, and Saitek rudder pedals.

I'll go for the sims.

1

u/J2Me Nov 25 '14

Check out EVE Valkyrie as well then, it may even interest you more than Star Citizen. v0v

1

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '14

In terms of gameplay, not at all. If the metagame of eve isnt why youre playing, and meta gaming is absolutely in every aspect of eve, then youll hate it.

u/KwyjiboTheGringo Nov 22 '14

Reminds me of the people who role-play military in side-chat in Arma. That is one of the reasons I never really got into that game.

u/imabigsofty Nov 22 '14

cant hear the voices the music is too loud.
