For me, part of the relucta...I'm the same way. For me, part of the reluctance to PVE is the fact that its boring and tends to feel like a grind after a while, but I think the biggest factor is just that it goes against the entire reason I log in.<br /><br />I log in with the goal of blowing stuff up, its what makes the game fun for me and is what I find stimulating, and playing the game any way else, I find boring. When you're sitting bored in your room, most people don't decide to clean it up...they leave it completely to find other things to do and EVE is very similar in this regard.Pinky Feldmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14743850109590575848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101917425752696234.post-16429818632457992802012-02-17T14:48:01.949-08:002012-02-17T14:48:01.949-08:00Susan, I recommend Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning i...Susan, I recommend Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning if you want that same feeling of "something else" with a good story, plenty of content (a total completion clocking in at something around 200 hours), great action-RPG gameplay, and cool/fun visuals. <br /><br />I've been having a lot of fun with it.

There are many sites out there in high, low, and null sec that have stories to them and wonders to see. They may not be as densely packed together as you might find in other games, but if you're looking to sate some wanderlust in Eve, it's not all that difficult to do when you know where to look.Mark726http://evetravel.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101917425752696234.post-58695971027814803162012-02-16T07:12:21.588-08:002012-02-16T07:12:21.588-08:00I can't standing scanning.

Cant the computers do this for us? <br /><br />Stan asks a good question. But I don't think there is a good answer. Eve pvp is challenging because the mechanics are somewhat complicated and require some strategy. This doesn't work well with a first person set up. <br /><br />Also I have learned from playing chess (another game that is somewhat complicated and requires soem strategy) that no matter how well the computer is programmed playing against a computer will never be as fun as playing against other people. Even when you don't even see the other person because you are playing on the internet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101917425752696234.post-58957979373157527982012-02-15T15:07:15.989-08:002012-02-15T15:07:15.989-08:00I too, enjoy exploration and discovery of new thin...I too, enjoy exploration and discovery of new things. I do agree that Eve's PvE content becomes stale and repetitive quite quickly. Which is why I've never understood how some people can stay interested in the game for years while only running level 4 missions. To me, Eve is about the people. It's a microcosm of society where you can experiment with people in ways you couldn't in real life.<br /><br />Most game development companies will spend thousands of hours on level design, storyline development, and art assets that allow the player to interact in unique ways with the game. CCP devotes most of its resources to game mechanic development that allows players to interact in unique ways with each other. I think that's the key to their success. And if that doesn't interest you, I can see how Eve would lose its appeal.<br /><br />While I do enjoy discovering scripted content and watching a story unfold in front of me, it's much more deeply satisfying for me to discover the different facets of people and communities.Araziahhttp://araziah.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101917425752696234.post-75673853843378876962012-02-15T09:57:45.909-08:002012-02-15T09:57:45.909-08:00Interesting exploration comparison. So are you say...Interesting exploration comparison. So are you saying that you find visual discovery rewarding? If EVE's exporation were to allow you to uncover more visually stimulating and engaging sites, would that entice you to run the "crazy bubble dragging" gauntlet?<br /><br />And on a similar vein, would shooting red Xs become more interesting if the camera view was more cinematic or if you could actually see the targeted ship in a viewing pane?<br /><br />In short, how can EVE's PvE compete with your favourite PvE games?Mat Westhorpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553980835026556794noreply@blogger.com
