EVE Online

Concord respond to fast.

Takes to long to build sec-status

War targets that play station games

Two things I don't like:

1. being that all skills are time based - meaning that in order to improve skills, you choose one and let it train in real time for X amount of minutes or hours - a newbie will never be able to catch up to veterans, ever.

2. While beautiful, the game feels more like a giant spreadsheet with a space graphics makeover.

Well i only played the trial but it was VERY obvious the game is weak in pretty much every aspect.My main concern with any game is it's graphics/combat and effort shown in any area.The game only pretends to be a large game as everything is zones.Even for sure could have been a GREAT game,but it is made liek the developer had his hands tied by a nintendo game console.Making a game with such potential for a PC could have teken on a ton more depth in every area.I also do NOT like the way the skill system is done, i felt like it was far from any skill by myself.

The whole system itself has no real depth or looks,the planets and the space stations everything needs to look like some effort was done.I don't know how to describe the whole game ,so i'll try by saying the game design is awesome,However it was implemented by what looks like a bunch of high school coders and graphic designers.

IMO and i really mean this,if a larger developer like SOE/Square Enix to name a couple were to implement this game using todays tech it would blow this junk out of the water in a second.

To put in even better perspective,the ONLY thing i like about EVE is it's design.By that i don't mean the game itself but things like tripping to other planets and outfitting ships and developing skills.The problem is that ALL 3 of those areas are horribly done and would take a developer a couple months to implement the whole design.We need to see in depth planet interaction/npc's/mobs/quests all on the planets.We need to be able to explore each and every planet and space station like it is a whole new world not some pixel on a screen.

The skills need actually have some sort of interaction with players,they need to actually earn the skills using some cool ideas ,IDK maybe through exploring all the 1000's of planets and stations.Too bad there was so much potential there,just a bunch of hackers put it together.

Cool, we won't miss you. Bai bai!

Game would be nice, if I didn't have to pay monthly to learn skills by waiting. You have to "wait" about 8 months to get the good stuff... and what I hate is that there's no real way to make it faster... not skill... not knowledge of the game... because it's timer based. You don't jump straight into the action, it takes a lot of time.

Others have given the same things they don´t like about EVE and I didn't like it to:

1 - Being a ship and a portrait. I need something more to feel immersed by the game.

2 - Time travel. it's not fun to watch a screen with a ship for about an hour while I'm traveling across the universe. Boring after 10 voyages.

No, I didn't play only the free trial, I did it for 3 months. I really had fun with all the other aspects of the game but those made me quit.

Just 1? Alright. The missions.

Funny. I have downloaded the trial twice. Both times I log in and watch my ship play.

How can I describe what I don't like in one issue? I guess it seems like I am watching a ship play the game and am not immersed into the game as with other MMO's.

My personality really lends itself to a game such as EVE but with the major lack of  immersion I just can't do it.
