EVE General Discussion

Id like to know your logic on fitting railguns on a tengu

You are SERIOUSLY picking at the bottom of the barrel now aren't you?

EDIT: HOW IS THIS EVEN RELEVANT TO MY POST!? XD

Not really you said you tried to teach a friend just asking what your logic was with picking a tengu and puting rails on it, not a troll just a genuine question

LOL

Griefing
Griefers
Multiplayer Sandbox
Etc.

Yeah i am mostly skilled in hybrids and projectiles id just never think to put them on a tengu only a proteus or a loki with arties

Id dont class asking a question as mocking...ive merely never seen it before nor tried it so excuse my curiosity

I forwarded this post to some friends in a university psych lab. They love studying sociopaths and their "communications." We all thank you so much for volunteering.

The person above finds posting anonymously in a forum about videos games are psychopaths, please beware of ALL individuals posting anonymously in forums with care and as if they are armed with mean words and harsh criticism.

To the OP.

I read a couple of the replies to your post but not all of them. The explanations and solutions offered to you that I saw are accurate but not complete.

Basically, Eve has a very old, very experienced player base of PvPers. Eve wants to attract new players, but the old players really only want the new players for more targets. As you will be targets with less experience, basically, the situation is that you'll join the game, the game itself will be great, but the players will drive you to quit. CCP is in an unusual position in that one of the distinctive and from some perspectives awesome things about Eve is that in Eve you can do whatever you want, including being a psychopath. They want to keep this distinctive even as new competitors join the realm of the space game market, all of which take the opposite approach and make PvP optional and give players the opportunity to play without being griefed by other players. My personal view is that high sec should be more a PvE Carebear learn the ropes for new players place and give experienced players a safe, but not economically advantageous, place to earn ISK. I am all for stiffening up CONCORD, making Ganking nigh impossible, and making the warded mechanics restrictive. This is not what the majority of the experienced player base wants, though (they want targets) and CCP will not go in this direction because it's against their stated principle of how they want to make Eve unique. Well not entirely true - they've done a lot to make ganking hard and make high sec safe. But they'll do it all within their general risk vs reward framework and the 'boss' to kill will always be another player or group of players - there will be no theme park or candy land in Eve even in high sec.

This being said, part of your problem is your own perception. If other players have trolled you for not being man enough for Eve, I am sorry. I am not trying to do that. But frankly, if you are a new player in WoW or another game the first time you tackle that NPC boss or dungeon, you're likely to get your tail kicked. Being new in any game involves frustrations and losses. Eve is no different, it's just that the boss or dungeon in this game is a player to whom you are nothing but pixels and wants nothing but to beat you. So basically, if you are getting your hat handed to you because you are new, just remember, that Eve is a tough game and you're new, and down the road you'll be ripping apart noobs yourself. Basically, a good, challenging game is going to involve loss and frustration in the beginning and mastery at the end. You're at the beginning. Eve is more like chess than monopoly. Tremendous level of challenge and skill involved. So my primary advice for you is to just keep your chin up and learn.

Second, I did not notice anyone giving you one piece of advice I thought of. People did recommend 'play alts'. As a new player you should not be forced to play alts and you may not have the resources to afford them. However, one must understand that CCP even designs the client to be able to handle having many clients open at once. PLEX and PLEX certificates and all basically show that in Eve the price to play is really not $15 a month. It's $30 and up, and it involves playing alts. They are a part of the game. However, if you are too new to get into this, one tactic that noobie highseccers use during wars is to just log off for a week. You're not an addict are you? One thing about Eve that some love and some hate are the training queues. It takes years to get some skills and fly some ships. However, your character gets better when you don't log in. Take a break from Eve for a week. Your enemies will get bored and go away.

Hopefully this will blend a bit of perspective and philosophy with a point or two of good advice. Just remember, one of the great things about Eve is that it's a real challenge. It's hard. I am not trying to troll you or tell you that you suck. Just keep your chin up. Eve is meant to be hard. And the way they make it hard is by empowering psychopathic players to be your Elite Boss that is kicking your tail. If you stick with it you'll master a lot of aspects of it and have something to be proud of, like a chess master can claim he has a real skill unlike a Donkey Kong master. If the challenge of the day is too tough for you and your friends, just log off for a week. The game will be here when you get back, your enemies will likely be gone, and your character will have more skills.
