EVE: Apocrypha - First Impression


Recommended Posts

Today was a great day. I switched to a full account, absolutely love EVE and it IS addicting with its tremendous challenges, additionally the new expansion "Apocrypha" was released. I can describe Apocrypha in a single sentence;

"OMFGWTF is this BS, worst expansion ever!"

Not only did they get rid of "Classic" which I loved for my laptop and desktop, but there are so many problems that its ****ing me off. I lost a number of skills for unknown reasons and I am experiencing tremendous lag. I think its because of the servers being hit, but somehow I am thinking that its also my computer and its lack of a decent GPU.

For those that don't know EVE, you have 2 options. 1) Download 14-day trial from www.eve-online.com or 2) Get a 21-day trial from STEAM. STEAM also sells the game for $14.99 which is $5 cheaper than the Official EVE version.

Wait a couple weeks or so, some patches might be released as a slow descent in server activity once the buzz for the expansion wears off. Thanks for posting your opinion though, was thinking of upgrading to a full account upon the expansion's release since I was looking forward to modular ships but it seems I should wait till the issues are ironed out.

People still starting out should be fine, but people playing for a number of weeks or months... like me and I got fast tracked by my corp, ended up losing stuff between the expansions. Though some have had good luck with the expansion and no problems. I guess only a few of us got affected.

Hopefully they do something to sort that out then. It sucks losing stuff in a game you have been playing for a while. Happened to me in Chromehounds when I got the -$999,999,999,999 money glitch. Went for weeks without being able to purchase anything until I finally got into the fix squad where they gave me a part which sold for the amount I was negative.

CCP lost three accounts with this expansion tonight. My fathers, mine, and my uncles. My dad's laptop can no longer run Eve-Online, my PC cannot run it via Integrated (my GPU died, no money to replace it yet), and my uncle's because he doesn't see the point in playing if we don't. CCP picked the worst possible time for this (as upgrading your PC is difficult due to economic problems). Really, they're total idiots IMO.

Damn that sucks. Why not just install premium and before logging on just set graphics to "Performance"?

I posted the release of Apocrypha on the Neowin Gamers news, unfortunately, Neowin staff don't think its worth mentioning but is worth posting a false rumour about 360 Elite being discontinued. :blink:
