Yay more problems from me
 
So a dwarf who was weak is training at the weight bench and gets unbelievably strong. Some time later (on a scale of weeks, not years) said dwarf goes back to being weak. Any idea what's going on? 
 
Update: the dwarf's physical attributes seem to be resetting randomly (mid-training included). Also, the outpost liasion is running in circles from wolves across the moat :L

Something similar just happened to me, except with barony instead of monarchy. Which is kinda weird, considering my fort already had a baron.

It comes down to the fact that I don't enjoy eve's combat. In the end, it feels like generic mmo-style combat with a little added depth in the form of transversals/distances.

Honestly, I don't think you ever experienced EVE's combat outside of missions and PvE stuff, the excitement's in the PvP. EVE's PvE is the boring stuff you have to go through to fund your PvP fun.

I respect your decision to quit though, been considering it myself.

Personally, I believe an important part of a game is how interesting it makes working to your goals to be. So having to go through boring stuff to get to the "fun" is already a minus, the path should be enjoyable in its own right. Especially if they're charging you for it.

The fun (well, I'd call it more engaging than fun, whatever ^^) in eve's combat is knowing that what you're fighting for means something. You feel like something is actually at stake, and you can't just try again if you screw up. You also know that the other guy feels that way. I know this feeling from other games (and competition in general), and yeah, it's quite enjoyable. However, when it comes down to it, the core combat mechanics are boring to me. And considering the number of other games that can provide this rush, I'm happier choosing the ones that I love the core mechanics of (and don't have to subscribe to, but I really wouldn't mind if I felt it was worth it).

I'm playing a lot of warframe lately. It's a nice change of pace from the pvp games I tend to play, and the developers are quite transparent about things, which is always a plus. Also, space ninjas.

So.. Bye.

I'm sorry, this game just isn't fun for me. My subscription recently expired, and I don't think I'll renew it. I love the whole idea of a sandbox where your actions matter, but in the end Eve's core (non-meta) gameplay mechanics feel terrible. At its core, Eve is neither fun nor engaging for me. Actual activities (mission running, mining, playing the market) aren't particularly entertaining, so why am I doing them? It doesn't get better. I'd rather play a game that I enjoyed every minute of than one where I'm working towards a vague end goal that I'm not even sure will be particularly rewarding.

Once the whole "awesome, space sandbox" feel wears off, all that's left to me is how flawed the mechanics feel. It's a huge time sink that barely returns the satisfaction to keep you playing, and charges for it. It's not a long-term goal that I dislike, it's that reaching this goal isn't fun. It's not particularly engaging in other ways either.

Meh. o7

Bah. I choose one day to work on other stuff and it's when all the interesting stuff happens. :c

what we need is a bay12 alliance. We can take on the goons, we're better! We have dwarf fortress!

But they have boatmurdered! D:

Yay us!

"although, it does serve me right, went round all your ships, picked the smallest and still didn't kill it ;p"

Sorry for suggesting that we murder Anja :c

I think the point is why should we have to set everything up so we track every member like big brother? We're more like a community in the corp than a business and we should be able to trust each over enough just to leave stuff around the place and not have to worry that it's going to be stolen. There is also under 30 of us ! So it's not like we are a huge corp.

If we really are a community and can trust each other, what's wrong with being able to track every action in our shared hangar?

Plus, we don't have high standards for admittance. Yes you have to be a regular bay12er, but this does not guarantee that you are not a member of any other group that may or may not be willing to steal from us. We want to minimize any damage a potential traitor can do. In a game like eve, we can't pretend that these people don't exist.
