EVE Online

By Colin Brennan In any case, this feature certainly has become a staple of MMOs, even going so far to have a couple games, like Darkfall, EVE Online, and Aion: The Tower of Eternity, making it one of their core focuses. So this leads to today's question: Do you think a game needs to include some form of PvP to be...

It should be tense as an...

By Brendan Drain Filed under: Sci-fi, EVE Online, Guides, PvP, EVE EvolvedOver the last few weeks the EVE Evolved column has gone through a series of informational articles, exploring the world of PvP in EVE Online. As shown in our introductions to all forms of combat in New Eden, explaining fleet combat,...

By Brendan Drain PvP Masterclass is a series of articles explaining PvP from the bottom up and showing you how to get involved even if you're a new player. In part 1 of this series, I examined the main types of PvP a player can choose in EVE Online and showed the directions players can take their PvP careers. In th...

By Brendan Drain One of the most perplexing things about EVE Online has to be the fact that although the game is essentially designed around PvP, a lot of players avoid it entirely. In this new series of articles, I will explain PvP from the bottom up, with a particular focus on helping anyone that has always w...

By James Egan PvP in EVE Online can take a while to become effective at, and there are a number of factors a player must consider -- both in terms of ship fittings and tactics used -- when engaging opponents. Speed, range, damage types, active tanking vs. passive tanking, when to engage and when to evade, ar...

By James Egan In EVE Online, it's usually the harsher side of the game that gets the most attention and has the greatest allure. Piracy, large-scale alliance warfare, and in general the dark side of EVE are what most players find interesting. But still, there are many players who engage in non-violent ga...

By technosavant(noreply@blogger.com) So, it would seem that unless I want to be a frigate pirate and max out the frigate skills, it'll be many, many months before I'm an effective PvP player. In fact, using the tools at my disposal, and knowing what I need to have to be an effective PvP player in, say, a Battlecruiser, I can say with n...

By Phillip Manning PvP, though pervasive in EVE Online, can be a frightening prospect at first, be it as a fresh-faced cadet, or a deep-space miner taking up arms for the first time. The continued discussion of The Empyrean Age no doubt has even more new and old pilots seeking advice for that first PvP encounte...

By Mike Fahey The latest expansion to CCP Games' deep space MMO EVE Online has just gone live, bringing space-miners, space-moguls, and space-fighters alike into the Empyrean Age. The expansion focuses on two of the most important aspects of any MMO, storyline and PVP, introducing factional warfar...

By Michael Zenke Goonheim is, of course, the Conan wing of the infamous Something Awful forums. Best known for their exploits in EVE Online as the Goon Squad, the group has a certain reputation. With that in mind, this transcript should be taken with a grain of salt. Still, it raises a few interesting question...

By Phillip Manning Perhaps more than any other MMO, EVE Online's gameplay relies very heavily on communication between players. I have recently returned to World of Warcraft and gotten a character into Outlands. 62 levels after coming back, it still grates on me a bit that very few people utilize voice chat f...

By Phillip Manning Filed under: Sci-fi, EVE Online, Guides, PvP, Rogue Signal EVE Online is a PvP driven game. It is not merely PvP oriented, nor does it only contain strong PvP overtones. The game, its politics, and its economy, are all controlled by the ever-present PvP that takes place. No matter your path in...

Once I realized that all of these hundreds of NPC agents were all giving out the same 5 or so missions, the limitations of a huge game world became obvious. I'm not a big PvP player, so that's probably why I lost interest.

I first heard of EVE on MMORPG.com I had been playing WoW for a couple months and was completely fed up with it. The community was weak and the game offered little (IMO) for the intelligent gamer. EVE was more than a breath of fresh air, it was an *experience* That said, it's really not for everybo...

EvE certainly won't give you RSI (I was playing while healing) as it's gameplay is primarily -social-. You keep track of who your friends are, who your enemies are. Seriously, there are KillOnSight and KnownHostile lists maintained by each corp. You'll get to know who you can trust to watch y...

EVE Online is by and far the best MMO out there right now. It is one of the deepest and most satisfying games you will ever play and it never falls into the same pitfalls that other MMOs offer (such as grinding, static worlds or the need to be logged on for every second of your life).
