EVE: Jester on RvB

Posted on March 9, 2012 by SynCaine

Not much to add to this post over at Jester’s Trek about RvB, other than I think non-EVE players will find it interesting, and that the post and the RvB concept is a great example of true sandbox content.

EVE: Little roam, big impact

Posted on March 8, 2012 by SynCaine

That 45man PvP roam I posted the video of yesterday was a great time. I went into it not knowing what to expect, who would show up, or whether we would see any action, and ended up having a blast, … Continue reading →

EVE: Walking a well-traveled path

Posted on March 6, 2012 by SynCaine

Could you explain how is it “fun”? I mean running around and blowing up random ships looks to me as exciting as watching the grass grow, or grinding random mobs in WoW. – Gevlon This from someone flying a Badger … Continue reading →

GW2: The best epeen measuring stick yet?

Posted on February 17, 2012 by SynCaine

The more I think about it, the more I like the server ‘matchmaking/ELO’ aspect that Guild Wars 2 has announced. Instead of just coordinating what server your guild is going to be playing on, larger communities can now do this. … Continue reading →

GW2 WvWvW – The new Alterac Valley!

Posted on February 16, 2012 by SynCaine

This looks familiar. Three-way Alterac Valley that persists for two weeks, with an ELO system and DAoC relics/keeps. Not that the above is bad. God knows we have seen far worse attempts at MMO PvP (Hi WAR/AoC/Aion). Maxing out at … Continue reading →

Adrenaline rush

Posted on January 27, 2012 by SynCaine

Another night, another victory (followed by crushing defeat). The nice thing about our most recent war-dec / war-shield shenanigans is that we know on exactly what night we will be able to fight, which makes organizing the Corp and having … Continue reading →

EVE: There will be… wrecks

Posted on January 24, 2012 by SynCaine

Last night we got a little PvP crew together to see what fireworks we could create in the last few hours of our current war-decs. We knew at least one target was active in our home system, and we also … Continue reading →

EVE: Didn’t want that faction ship anyway

Posted on January 20, 2012 by SynCaine

I interrupt the fail-cascade reporting (they haven’t said/done anything embarrassing today, have they?) to talk about an MMO, PvP, and expectations. Last night was INQ-E’s second PvP roam night, and again we had a good turnout. We started off once … Continue reading →

EVE: Pirating and War-Decs

Posted on January 17, 2012 by SynCaine

Last Thursday INQ-E had its first PvP night, and it went great. We put together a balanced fleet of BCs and tacklers, and went into some local low-sec systems to see if we could cause some destruction. We started things … Continue reading →
