EVE General Discussion

no no good sir eve is by no means hard, i figured it out at 12 years old. how hard could it be

you just get lots of numbers and press f1 right?

I think the point here is that Eve Online is an MMO. Not saying that Solo play doesn't have some purpose in the game, but in as a whole I don't see what CCP could or should do to cater to people who play an Online game by design from the ground up to be a team oriented game. I mean we have corporations, alliances, fleet mechanics.... each ship has a specific purpose designed to be part of a whole... how many hints do you need before you understand that Solo anything is always going to be a second class citizen in this game.

Its a team game... find a team.

So you intentionally fly out to lose shitfits, and claim that it somehow proves that solo PvP is dead?

I understand you OP.

I have been around since 2006 and the game has changed many times over the years.

My advice (without resorting to meme) would be to move with the times.

I havent logged in for anything except skill changes for about 6 weeks BUT for when i do get the Eve urge I have cunningly joined RvB. This at least gives me my own blob and a group of players looking to just have good fights.

Also if you are going to quit just quit. No one responding here is ever going to offer any sympathy which simply turns your situation into a self-fulfilling one. When CCP do the end of year accounts they will notice player count rises and falls and take the appropraite action.

solo pvp may come round again and if it ever does ill be there doing it

yeah the post was asking for trolls lol

figured id go out with a few bangs and some last bit of "smack talk" before going away. worked wonders too, this game is all about da smack talk and stuff but you can tell most of these replies are from the people who have played for a year or two and think they are vets, but all i see in their replies is the highschooler response "Umadbro?" lol

also the whole get with the times thing... you know ... i thought about it... what i came up with was this

I put alot of work into the whole social aspect of this game, made friends id trust with any of my assets, and we had a blast for years, but ive ran my course and the game is just in a decline for me now. i could move with the times but that would require a lot of work to make more "Friends" and i really just dont think its worth it anymore.

What do you think about this?

Check out his vids, jampyzero on YouTube. Also Eve is Easy, cool stuff all and lots of tips for soloing.

I understand the post, but I fail to see why you would choose a ship that only proves your point.

With as much SP as you have, and presumably as much experience as you have to go with it, I'd expect you to spend a few billion ISK on something that gets around a lot faster and makes it easier to decide which battles you are going to fight.

Staying alive and playing in solo PvP comes down to essentially two things: The ability to maneuver and get around, and get out, and the ability to selectively isolate and remove your adversaries.

Not sure of any better way to put it. A Tier 3 Battleship only really has one of those bases covered: The ability to get out.

What you want is a HAC or something like, that is fast and fits easily to compensate for it's lower tank. The active tank is more feasible on one of these because it has lower sig and higher speed to reduce potential incoming DPS and doesn't get locked up in a second.

Even then you fit some buffer to reduce the impact of alpha and you focus on holding targets and limiting their potential maneuverability.

Those are your best options, and I think always have been. Outmaneuver your opponents and you will have a better and more interesting fight. Go out to die, and you'll end up wasting your time and losing your ship.

You'll probably lose your ship either way, but at least it will leave you feeling better if you don't just sit there and take DPS like a pin-cushion. The BS route doesn't offer a lot of options, and the only way you're getting out is if you stay on gate and deaggress to jump while using a buffer tank. Even then, you probably won't get away unless the next system is highsec and they attacked you.

what i think is, kil2 is good at the game yes... but most of the 1 v 1's are frigate/destroyer kills/fights... pretty much anything bigger than a destroyer he had at least a small fleet to help him... the one or two exceptions was ethereal dawn... he killed a hugginn/curse in a myrm... not that far fetched... ED are noobs for the most part, but going deeper into my problems with the game, alliances like that replace those losses like nothing. games broken in alot of ways... kil2 is just one exception

thats the problem right there:P thats the new mentality of the game and its a problem

There are plenty of solo-action in Factional Warfare.
