The thrill of uncertainty, of knowing your performance could win or lose big, that your clutch reaction and experience will carry you through danger, that is not what they play for. And that statement only applies to the way they play.Dexternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-27219979355002087382014-01-06T02:23:03.935-05:002014-01-06T02:23:03.935-05:00@Kaeda

Isn't that their thing?<br />I'm not into the whole eBushido thing, either, but engaging only when victory is totally assured seems like some pretty hollow "victories" to me.Hong WeiLohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14702284760088727892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-87542485404233520092014-01-04T20:27:58.048-05:002014-01-04T20:27:58.048-05:00How does one win EVE?

The outcome of fight is irrelevant to me, the fight itself its what matters. I've lost hundreds of ships in 6 years of EVE, yet I don't feel like I lose.<br /><br />You have a very narrow concept of victory.Kaeda Maxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13954843678698092456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-58611297235738363852014-01-04T19:23:09.048-05:002014-01-04T19:23:09.048-05:00Situational choice.

I've been playing for more than 6 years and lost less than a dozen ships, over half of which were lost during my first year.<br /><br />Fights are won and lost before the first shot is ever fired (ie. EFT). If you can't win, or the outcome is in question, don't engage - run away. Come back only when you know you can win.<br /><br />Honor? Pride? Sportsmanship? These things have no place in a game like EVE. Winning is all that matters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-65802334237720099312014-01-04T15:37:27.692-05:002014-01-04T15:37:27.692-05:00I can relate, at least when it comes to being irri...I can relate, at least when it comes to being irritated at losses, not because I lost the ship, but because I fucked up in my choice of tactics, or just did something stupid, that got me that loss.Hong WeiLohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14702284760088727892noreply@blogger.com
