EVE New Citizens Q&A

I guess you missed this? https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=5304875#post5304875



Guess im not the only one who was thinking the same thing about getting two faction missions in a row sometimes more from multiple agents....

Sometimes it happens on both agents if your really unlucky....which was already mentioned a few times...

Then pick a third, if possible for a non 'Navy' corp.

I know plenty of corp's that pick out of the mission pools and harsly give any faction missions.

Hell, in the past I think I grinded up the needed standings for at least 2 corps without ever seeing any anti-faction missions.

It does matter who you run missions for in relation to what types of missions you get.

Something comes to mind that relates to EVE: Actions have consequences... Even as a mission runner. But apparantly you guys think CSM minutes = this is happening...

And if it does, shows again that CCP is buckling for the WoW mindset *Snip* Please refrain from personal attacks. ISD Ezwal.

If you are too lazy to think of a way to work around it or deal with it. CCP shouldnt change it, you should just leave EVE.

*Snip* Please refrain from personal attacks. ISD Ezwal.

More than one can also mean more than two... and as J'Poll says - maybe a non-navy faction agent might be a good plan.

Alternatively, you could mine (as I see you have) or do some exploration, or run some hauling contracts, or try some pew-pew, or go on an in-game road trip or try your hand at some station trading, or attempt to scam in local... do you see what I'm saying?

Even if these changes are coming, you'll have to find a way around it in the meantime!

I could not have said this better myself.

This game is intentionally designed to make you have to make decisions and deal with consequences. I am positive on my main with all 4 of the main factions it can be done. However CCP did make it so that if you just want to mindless spam missions from one agent then you will have to pick a faction.

Some general advice is:

Some agents will have more faction kill missions than other's. If you are doing missions for one of the Navy's you'll get lots of faction kill missions for example.

Move to a system with multiple mission agents. This way when you get on a 4 hour timer on one you can go to the next.

Sister's of Eve will occasionally give you Amarr kill missions but since they are not one of the 4 main factions it seems they are good to mission grind with.

Set up multiple mission hubs and use a fast ship to move between them.

Try out other aspects of this game with your down time. You could do anomalies, Get a scanning ship and some probess and try out exploration. Look into PI. Maybe try industry. Look into market stuff maybe try out station trading. It really depends on your interests but instead of looking at the down time as limiting you maybe you could see how it is really opening the game up to you.

Also in case you don't know you unlock mission agents through standing yes but it's the highest standing so you can unlock individual agents very quickly by running missions for them with someone else that has access to them or once your faction standing is high enough you can do any level 3 with any agent of any corp in that faction. Also are things you can do with storyline agents to unlock corps fast.

If you are looking for something PvE to do in this game that you can do endlessly then I would look into null sec anoms if you want to go the solo route or incursions if you want to do the group thing.

This game is not like other games. The majority of the content is player created. If you are coming from a mindset of quest grinding and bring that to this game you are going to be missing 99% of this game. There is nothing wrong with doing missions mind you and I'm not telling you not to do them. All that I am saying is that Eve is not a WoW clone like most MMOs and if you want to enjoy this game you'll have to pull your perspective back a little bit. I know as I came to this game from WoW and had a hard time adjusting at first. However after a while I found how difference of this game to be like a breath of fresh air.

TL;DR
There is too much for you to do in this game to be sitting around waiting for one agent to give you missions again.

Do you have any idea how many things CCP has on their 'to-do' list? How long you might have to wait before the suggestion of 'we think maybe we might change this game component' becomes remotely real? Basically, until you see it on the new release notes, don't hold your breath. It's a huge game and there are a LOT of things to do to keep it running and improve it and the odds of them getting to your little issue before you get bored and move on because you refuse to adapt your gameplay to the game you're playing are slim to none and slim is on his way out the door.

It just sounds like you're being stubborn and digging your heels in for no reason now. People have given you a long list of other very fun things you can do between missions while you wait (almost all of them more fun than the boring missions you're so worried about) , but you refuse to even acknowledge those suggestions. That's incredibly rude. If all you want is to stay in a small area of a couple of systems and grind missions for a single corp, then we're telling you the wait time and faction standing loss is the consequence. The solution is not to adjust an entire game that's almost 11 years old around YOU, but to adjust YOU around the game.

Get over yourself or go back to the other games you played before, because it's very obvious EVE isn't for you.

Gotta tell ya, I fear for the future of EVE. Like TV shows, news, whomever whines the loudest gets their way.....

That's one of the reasons people often say to newbies not to try missions. It drives them away.

My go to recently has been exploration. It's involved, gets you out in space all over the place, and has that feeling of excitement when you find something good.
