Hmm. It looks kinda boring, but below you can see the biggest battle ever to have happened in EVE online. Within 8 hours players burned ships worth 200.000 €uros.
In order to be a top player, you'll probably have to spend 8 days peer week online, accordingly the amount of time spent here to create goods worth 200.000€ without paying is just insane.

You have to remember these were the biggest entities in Eve, and there is a lot more happening than you can see in this video. Due to thousands of pilots being involved, time is also slowed down so the server, which is comparable to military hardware, doesn't crash. The ordinary person seeing this and joining Eve, 90% will not make it, let alone ever fly a Titan or something along those lines. This was pretty much the big honsho's fighting.

Also, most of this '$' was made ingame, so it isn't like people drop their salaries to buy Titans. That's just for the headlines so people can grasp more or less what happened. Eve cannot be explained easily, it's far too complicated for that. That's why I like it, very few console kiddies or neanderthals. Plenty of psychopaths, that's certainly true. But it has consquences, and can be highly rewarding if you DO get through the learning curve. I also like that it has people from all over the planet, and I thrive in sandboxes. Most people don't, and rather have a scripted game, which is fine, but don't come to Eve and ask: What should I do next? You won't make it.
 
The battle actually lasted for 21 hours, with about 70 dead Titans and (tens of) thousands of other ships, and all timezones working together. Eve is not for the quick draw, it's takes planning, coordination and a lot of effort. Not necessarily, not always, but with these battles? Definitely. I'd say watch a good sci-fi movie maybe 

Stopped watching this couple of weeks ago. Just dont care enough to keep watching this anymore. It was long overdue to be honest, I lasted longer than I expected.

Yet, the earth doesn't stop rotating, how strange.

Why now? It's much better than the snorefest that was season 2.

I doubt it's Wargaming. I highly doubt they would risk their entire company on it. Probably some disgruntled WoWP fans. Wargaming did lose Round 2. All the people I know that beta'd WoWP play War Thunder now. WoWP isn't even on their pc's anymore. War Thunder has much more active players.

Can't wait for Round III: Ships and giggles.

Oh hey, this thing is apparently coming back this evening if anyone happens to care.   

It's not that bad. People just like to moan together. Ok, season 2 was terrible. Can't wait for the blondes and kids to go 

Best Episode ever. So many extreme moments in one Episode.

I agree. Blazing cannons on all fronts. I also really liked the many nudges and winks to the pilot and earlier episodes (Holly in the back of the car). That was pretty much the same scene, revisited. Even better shots and camerawork then usual. This episode was an outstanding rollercoaster. AND there's two more....

And Saul/Bob got his spin-off green lit I believe

Massive fall-out, oh my. I hate being right. It's Shogun 2 with roman skins. I bet the AI doesn't do amphibious landings

Things like the battle speed are truly inexusable now. That has been happening with the Warscape engine since Empire, and everytime the modders have to bring the speed down. The fact that they do not adress this in future games, when they know 99% of the players prefer non-slapstick battles in 40 seconds, is just a slap in the face. This isn't such a big issue in itself, but it's one of many they simply do not adress in 3 to 4 games. No matter how much I love(d) the series, I ain't buying this crap. I knew it.

Shame on you Sega, and CA too. It's a big enough series to be able to put pressure on a publisher. New players don't notice and have fun, CA by now has pretty much lost all of it's longtime fans.

A savage murder by two deranged, desillusioned and sick men, desperately trying to associate themselves with their admired god and hatebeards to make themselves seem awesome. No less sad, but don't make this into more, that's exactly what they want.

I am getting very tired of anything muslim by now. Can we just get back to this in 500 years when they've outgrown the middle ages?

CA usually releases scripted battles for OMG rating. Remain calm. I'll wait for the release fall-out. I have quite the list before I buy this one on the spot.
