You're in the minority, Eve's music is damn near universally liked.

Vorph · 06-14-2007, 08:38 AM

It's not bad, but it's too 'ambient' for me. If I want electronic music while playing EVE I queue up some Juno Reactor instead.

Kazgrim · 06-14-2007, 08:47 AM

Eve's music is great, their sound coding is horrible and it will totally gimp your ability to do shit in engagements bigger than 5 vs 5 though, so turn it off.

Cynno · 06-14-2007, 10:56 AM

I can't believe people like that shit. It sounds like retarded space elevator music that was composed by some student in a junior college.

But, yah, turn it off for lag purposes if nothing else.

Hopefully this is not a derail, but I wanted to ask, is this still a general EVE chat thread? Don't want to derail it with any other q's.

Yeah chat away.

Word.

Every few months I think about playing EVE. I never get far into it, just a few days into the trial and then quit. I could never get into it at all, it gets boring to me. You can quote me on this on many different threads.

The one thing thats changed now is that I don't have much time to play MMOs these days anymore. Maybe 1-3 hours at a time, 3-4 days a week. I also have a new rig so I can run EVE and another game at the same time. Like I can play WOW while auto-warping (or whatever it's called in EVE). Seems I might get enjoyment out of the game on a casual level? Who knows.

Anyway, what kind of community could I expect in the game on that kind playtime? Is the FOH channel in game etc active? I remember it being pretty good when I last tried a few months ago. The one thing I hate is playing an MMO all by myself. I'm not asking for an invite into a Corp, but a good chat channel could go a long way in keeping me entertained.

Just curious to see what to expect. I came within a single click to actually paying for an account before I stopped myself.

Try first. you may have to run eve without sound. some games just don't like playing with eve. it's very very touchy (pissy i'd say) about running with other programs for me. I'd just make a trial account and run your other mmo at the same time and see how it goes.

I love the FoH channel. it's entertaining and folks are pretty helpful.

"The gameplay sucks, the universe sucks, the music sucks and the servers suck. Oh but I like this game."

Draegan · 06-14-2007, 12:19 PM

The sound fucks up only when you run EVE with another game? -I should probably read the thread, but I really don't want to.

Fixed.

I will reiterate what I said. You need some reading comprehension skills. Am I upset with the state of the sandbox, sure. Does that mean I won't log in? No. I still love jumpin in my cruiser lookin for a fight even if I do get blown up.

Again, just for you foghorn fucktard, just because I don't agree with the way the sandbox is currently being run, doesn't mean the game isn't still fun.

Quick reminder: Patch early next week (apparently) so set a long-training skill before downtime!

Draegan · 06-14-2007, 12:32 PM

Do I remember correctly in remembering that they were gonna look into allowing you to do skill training on a PDA/Phone? That would be neat.

Scrapped indefinitely.

The early game would be 90% less retarded if they scrapped learning skills completely and added a three-skill queue. You're not alone.

Vorph · 06-14-2007, 12:39 PM

Pretty sure nothing ever became of the Symbian client talk.
