EVE New Citizens Q&A

You are right, that mission briefings could explain better, what to do. They are not detailed enough or bad explained often.



In this case, file a petition in Game via the help button. A GameMaster will reset the mission for you.

Not trying to call you a liar, but nothing like that appeared on my screens at all. Maybe it was a bug, but at 10 years of development that's pathetic. I got over it, but then I started playing and thought to myself... WTF am I doing? For me it would seem the time and money investment required will simply not pay off.




On the contrary my illiterate friend. I have repeatedly said I have endlessly trawled through the wiki.

Is the majority of the player base of eve so dense they can't even understand what my rage was about? Are you that completely devoid of empathy, or literacy understanding that you can't decipher that basic concept from my first post? The tutorial is terrible, and poorly constructed. How dare I criticise this game though right, just attack me on completely irrelevant points and tell me I don't listen.

Honestly I think I'll hang up my Eve boots. There seems to be very little tactical depth to this game at all. It would seem that you simply turn up to an altercation and hope you have a more powerful ship with the right weapons loaded, or alternatively group up and simply overwhelm. There are clear weapon choices that outshine everything else, and I'm not about to spend £70 for a year of pointing - clicking - waiting - reading - watching, I'd rather actually interact with the games I play.

I come here to have a self acknowledged rant and all I have is people telling me I don't learn and that I'm not tough enough for the game. Lmao.

I learnt. I learnt the tutorials are terrible. I learnt not to use a hull repairer and a shield repairer at the same time. I learnt that Eve is probably the most difficult game to get into yet has little depth other than in its numbers. I learnt how not to make a UI. I learnt that most of the guys on here seem to have their tongue so far up J'Polls arse she can't even tell when she's being an elitist tool.

I learnt that there are those that play eve, and those that live it.

I don't have the time for this ****, If I want to read a book I've got a shelf full of them, If I want to fly a space ship I'll go play a game that requires more than clicking a mouse. Where's a joystick when I need one? I'll just wait for Star Citizen, Good luck all, cheers to those that warrant it.

Lol.

Posting in a stealth Star Citizen thread.

Can an ISD lock this now? The OP clearly knows way more about EvE than everyone else, so further replies are now useless.

You've been saying you've "been done" since the first post, GTFO the thread already.

I can understand the OP's distress to some degree, everything said online about EVE having a steep learning curve, is true.

I've been playing for maybe 4 days and it's a lot thrown in your face when you're used to every other MMO having a different interface and flavor.

However, I just ran this mission last night, they TELL you you're going to lose your ship. This mission gives you a ship to lose specifically for that purpose. They tell you not to take your own outfitted ship into this fight, it's more than "8 words out of 100".

I knew I was going to lose the ship they gave me, so I insured it at Platinum and flew to my death with a nice little 250,000 ISK bonus on top of the mission rewards.

So either this guy is trolling or he needs to not play EVE or take a break for a day and get back into it.

MMO's are nearly 10 years old now with many having been running for a lot of that time with many updates, patches, bug fixes, expansions...a LOT more than just the basic game and they are more complicated. But it's that level of complexity, depth and immersion that give an MMO staying power. If it's too easy, no one will keep playing for years.

Sorry I've been flying around trying to get parts for my new ship at the right prices. Has taken me an hour, I haven't actually put any input into the game other than fitting things to my ship, setting a new destination, undocking and then setting it on autopilot. In the mean time I watched some TV, ate some food, tidied the house and had a shower. Great game.

You haven't pointed out at all why the tutorials aren't terrible. You've merely blasted me for not picking up on one sentence that contradicted literally everything else in the mission briefing. And no, it doesn't teach you anything, other than getting killed sucks, or that running away is sometimes part of missions. Great tutorial.

I've told you what I learnt, you're simply too dense to listen or too ignorant to actually read my responses. Also, I didn't tell everyone to 'eat their own hats', just the pompous tools who got all butthurt that I criticised their game, endlessly talking down to me in the most pathetic manner. I actually thanked the people who warranted it, but again, you're clearly too ignorant to read my responses, or too dense to actually understand them.

Later all, signing off!

Good riddance

I understand, but it did teach you one very important lesson. You can, and will, lose ships when you least expect it in EVE. Once you learn that, it makes the rest of your career in EVE a bit easier.

My Corp actually specializes in teaching that lesson to players outside of the tutorial environment.

You will get past this disappointment, or not. You will continue to explore EVE, or not. If you do continue, good luck and enjoy.

Your only justification why the tutorial is "terrible" is because *you* didn't read the instructions carefully enough because *you* believe that 8 words was too short to be meaningful for new players in general because *you* think that's the case. Despite the majority of other players getting past that particular mission without problems. You're claiming the tutorial is weak based on your own failings, and then projecting those failings to other players and claiming overall failure on the part of the tutorial. Eight words is not too short for meaningful conveyance of information. The problem here is that you chose not to read it. Put simply, all your rants revolve around the opinion that *your* experiences and *your* requirements (Short attention span) set the standard for quality gameplay. Now you're making snarky comments about the game in general because of the autopilot system - something you're not being forced to use. There's no need to justify how the tutorial isn't terrible when you're the one making the accusation that it is based on flimsy rationalizations. So yes, you are being pretentious.

You - Like any dozens other newbies in any dozens of other games - Make the very typical claim that "Pompous tools" are the problem when the real issue at hand is that you expect massaging of your bruised ego to be packaged along with the advice that older players are already giving. Despite coming in with one of the more antagonistic OPs I've seen in the ENCQA for a while. Being overly willing to bend over backwards to "be nice" to rude new players contributes to the growing sense of entitlement hereabouts, so I'll just come out and say that I'm grateful to those who choose to modify how friendly their advice is to suit the personality of the OP. No, you're not entitled to careful handling of your fragile ego with such a tone.

The player community overwhelmingly helps out new players with friendly advice on a daily basis - provided they're willing to take responsibility for their own actions. You're free to check out any of the other threads started by other new players as proof.
