Ok Gets posted this in another thread, it's an  EvE Personality Test (http://rumandmonkey.com/widgets/toys/testgen/6199/) and seeing as server is down tonight might be a bit of fun,
here's mine...

sounds about right though I've never actually scammed or stolen anything,

post up your results ;)

PvE Aficionado.

How ironic. I fucking hate missions.

Meh, the responses were very clearly skewed towards an agenda. Also my result in no way describes my playstyle nor my responses. 2/10.

It's a simulation of capitalizm in its purest form, and a place where the savvy wins the day.</div>

I was suprised by mine -

Industrialist with teeth :ye_gods:

I haven't made anything that couldn't be fired from a gun ever.

Here's a shocker:

Eve is just a game. People tend to get really worked up about it, and this is highly amusing. The best moments of Eve is when someone throws a hissy fit after you pwned them when they didn't expect it. You often use the "it's a PvP game-line", but what you really mean by that is that the game is supposed to be exploited and won. No trick is beneath you as long as it lets you get a laugh at the expense of someone else. Everything is valid until CCP says it's not.

Haha, I was waiting to see your result, Slay.

Oddly enough, I got Griefer too. Boggles the fucking mind. Unless it knows how I griefed Slay :oh_i_see:

Eve is a PvP game. The PvE parts of the game are there to drive the economy in order to produce more PvP. Multiplayer is key, and even though solo-play can be fun, the game should be balanced as a multiplayer game. High-sec is as much of a warzone as low- and nul-sec. It's just a matter of finding ways to get at the people living there. You usually play with other people, because when the going gets tough, the tough get some backup.

I also thought the whole questionnaire was a bit biased, as there wasn't an answer to my liking at all in at least two questions. However, if you're really interested in what sort of player you are, I highly suggest going to The Daedalus Project, by Nicky Yee, and taking the quiz about Motivational Assesment (http://www.nickyee.com/daedalus/archives/000433.php). It used to just give you the result as an image, but now it uses an Excel file to paste into for some reason :uhrr:

The Daedalus Project is a one man serious business MMO research portal that's been doing surveys and collecting data for years now. I'm sure many F13'ners are aware of who Nick Yee is (http://forums.f13.net/index.php?topic=10368.0), but if you're interested in MMOs more than just playing them, this is the only site to go for all sorts of exciting info, tests and current surveys.

edit: fixed link

Not Found

The requested URL /daedalus/archives/000433.phpl was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I agree but then I never claimed the results would be accurate, tis just for shits and giggles oh and I think he meant this link http://www.nickyee.com/index-daedalus.html

Why??? I just want to mine...

mine and watch the EvE galaxy burn.

Industrialist With Teeth for me. Sounds about right.

Shocking.

Gunslinger.

The questions were skewed, however.

That was a pretty lousy test.  I got the generic industrialist with teeth it seems to give to anyone who doesn't fit into an obvious category.

Makes sense: I am all about the 0.0 territorial warfare.

im a gunslinger.. me.. who is just starting the pvp side of eve. go figure

lulz.

The way I read Eve is that there's only griefers and people who won't be playing in a few months. Even the political types are just griefers in disguise. It's a game of wolves and people who experiment. The latter eventually leave if they don't join a pack of wolves as there's no real game there outside of RP-ing a third world space colony.

Snap.

Like you could answer half of those questions.   :awesome_for_real:

Can't wait till I get home from work!  :awesome_for_real:

Test is lame and skewed.  Industrialist with teeth?  I hate mining and building.  Hell, I hate npcing or missions.  I pretty much hate ;)

You guys are answering the questions wrong!  :uhrr:

I'm vaguely surprised.  I guess that's what I get for seeing it as an experiment in Darwinism.

I'm shocked by all the griefers in this thread.

I'm not. We love teh hate!

Still looking for a good home in 0.0 btw ...

You're a conqueror, take some space by force!

Indeed, I have conquered both my fear of failure and greed for success. Truly I'm like Rudyard Kipling's If.

But yes, have been wandering around doing just that - and mostly finding that the quantum rise patch doesn't seem to have made fleet fights any less laggy than I remember from 2 years ago  - POS up in the next few days I hope - just don't tell anyone where :-)

Test is pretty stupid at times, but then, it's an internet personality test... taking it seriously would be like taking internet spaceships seriously!

Whose fleets are you fighting in?

PS this week's release wasn't measnt to make fights less laggy: that was the pre-patch set of changes six weeks or so ago.  And if you think those haven't basically got rid of lag in any but the least prepared node with the highest number of opponents then I dunno what fleet fights you were in before, because the last time I fought in Feyth I had 10 minute module lag, and now it is virtually non-existent.

Usually, the trouble seems to be people who get 1fps and blame CCP for their awful overview settings.  When flying a HAC in fleet fights I sometimes swap to a view that shows everything, so I can see where I am relative to the two lines of battle and whether drones are heading my way.  That will freeze me up, and I pity those who actually fly with the on-screen iconography showing.

Yesterday, I was mostly wandering around the fountain region ...


Well, my ancient history is with -V- back when they were fighting RA, and things are (for me at least) clearly a lot better now than then - having been away for a few (eighteen to twenty four) months, my expectations weren't particularly trashed by the small fleet fight yesterday. But we jumped a gang of 30 into an unprepared node where another gang of 30 was - slowish grid load and a lot of spam on ventrilo about people lagging out on targeting and firing modules is what led to me saying 'things don't seem better' - it's probably not a fair or particularly accurate judgement; so I retract subject to further evidence as I was getting a happy 30-40 fps, and literally had the overview set to 'only reds < BS' as I was in a support craft - no drones, no fighters, no BS, no veldspar ;-)


Actually, a bit of advice I'd appreciate is just what I should be flying these days that's considered valuable in fleet - I'm not a turret specialist, most everything is in missiles/ecm/shield tanking + interdictors etc. I used to fly a lot of scorpion/falcon/pvp blackbird type ships to provide fleet support, but now it seem the only ECM people take with them are multispec falcons. I haven't seen one of my beloved scorps (first BS I ever bought - tried to run a L3 mission in it before I understood what ECM was used for) at all.

It's off-topic for this thread but ECM is godlike, and falcons find it hard to do anything but pwn right now: I've been flying around ZS- for a week in one, and we've not lost a single ship while I was on grid in the falcon.  That includes when Headseed, (obviously entirely against my advice), engaged in a thorax against a claw, vaga, falcon, falcon and cerberus after jumping in.  I got simultaneous jams on everything except one falcon, which was 350km away on the far side of the gate.

But don't go out in a falcon with multispecs.  Smash did that, and look what happened to them.  Multispecs jam less, use more cap, and have shorter range.  I fit one of each racial and an extra minnie, usually, though if my enemy used a different balance of ships (pulseapocs) I'd change that.

Do you still use a plate fit? the cause the align time will be pretty bad now though nothing but an overheated inty will catch you.

Used to be plate in the lows + armour rep if you had one spare low, mids full of ECM and hi cloak + remote rep + cyno

No need for a plate now if you fit 2 projector rigs and use the 3 lows for sig strength. 200-250km off and it takes a while for an inty (and more importantly his support) to reach you. In that time you can jam and get moving.

Pred's right: nothing they have can hit me at anything like 210km, and even their inties are taking forever to get close enough for me to change spots.  Plus, even a plate wouldn't matter since I align before uncloaking and can instawarp away any time.

I just wish I had a buddy in an eagle to sit alongside me and pop the inties that fly towards me.  One of the huginn or muninn can do this too, I think?

Yeh 200km is still a long way and inties are only goin 5-8km/s now, I think Nozh is looking at ECM range & ECCM according to Zulupark's Q & A. I personally think ECCM is a tad underpowered, I tried using two ECCM against a gang with Falcon once didn't manage to lock anything for long enough to get any joy and 200km range is ridiculous when compared to the other ECM. One thing I don't like about it is it causes or at least should cause a no fight situation, if you have two small gangs and another has a Falcon. A good FC will usually back away and though I know it's great cause you fly the things and love being FOTM for a change, but like speed it's not healthy for the game. Oh and I'm actually pretty happy with the balancing they have done since the first SISI rollout, I'm surprised it's a good job by CCP in the end.

The problem with the Falcon is not ECM in general. Its that its just as strong at ECM as a rook, the recon that doesn't cloak.

Well this is true, but if you wait until the fight has started before uncloaking, then you normally get a few good fights

My Dominix for ages never left dock without at least one Eccm. You might say it sucks but there is nothing worse than being stuck not able to do anything and nothing better than continuing to cause carnage on twats that are so used to people not fighting back that they have no idea how to deal with a t2 drone Dominix that has just been made bloody angry.
