I played a black guy with pink face paint and only wore pink boxers with white hearts on them in various places. I killed those mofo's like the pussyholes they were. Smashed their faces in with my awesome car of pink white heart love.

I also had pink chest hair.

Question is, given that it seems the trial has ended, is whether you guys are going to buy it or play it? or if a few days was enough?

I'll probably get it and just play it when the guys who I plan to play it with are around.

It looks like a great way of passing the time between fights in eve ;)

i've even heard 25th lol.. tho D2D says 28th and that's what i'm counting on.

and headstart isnt *really* 3 days. its 10 hours over those 3 days with only unlimited access to the social district...

which is quite a fucking sad excuse for a headstart if you ask me :)

not really
gives people a chance to sort out their clan graphics, bling out their cars, etc, and get a headstart on the auction house before the rest get in 3 days later ;)

Well, after giving the game a few hours i can honestly say that its complete and utter shit.

Spent the last 2 hours trying to do missions now (grouped or solo) and always getting screwed over by ppl that isnt on that mission and still help out. you can do wonders slamming into ppl with a car repeatadly when your not pvp enabled, and you only get that if you join that same mission.

so what usually happens is that a group of enforcers (playing one so using one as reference) get a mission to say defuse a bomb, and a group of criminals get a mission to protect said bomb for x minutes. only difference is that said criminals have a load of friends that DON'T have that mission running around in cars aiming for the enforcers effectively interrupting their attempts at defusing the bomb. you need to stay still for 10 seconds for that to happen, but its pretty hard when a truck comes and ram you.

so basically whoever has the most friends outside the mission wins, as you only get pvp enabled against the team who has the opposite mission as you do......
