EVE General Discussion

I have been trying out Eve the last week or so. I actually ended up buying 2 accounts after seeing how long it takes to train any skills, becuase I wanted to get into trading, but also Pvp, and I can see it would take too damn long to train in both. (at least for me, I am a bit impatient).

Anyway after playing about a week, i am losing interest fast. I am just really bored with the combat mechanics. I mean for god's sake why don't they let you actually pilot your craft?

To be honest while playing it, all I could think was "wow x3 looked so much better, and I really miss being able to pilot my craft, and have real comat where skills actually matter, not just , here click this target, and now wait for my gun to kill it" lol.

Anyway I don't feel like I wasted any money, becuase at least i got to see the game, and I will be honest, the huge vast universe and the amount of different directions you can go is a huge turnon, however, the fact that it takes so freaking long to train your skills enough to try out even 1/10th of the content is a huge turnoff. It wouldnt be so bad if you could just go out and have fun doing combat and whatnot, but really you can't have fun with that, so where is the fun? Sit around and wait for my skills to go up?

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if my corporations were willing to accept newer players, but almost all say , ok must have xxxxx number of SP, and whatnot to join.

I also think its funny when you hear people talking about combat and killing ships as if it took some sort of skills. The only skill it takes is having a good layout on your ship, and once you actually get into combat its more like a chessgame than a space combat sim.

Meh, I don't know unless I find something more interesting in the next few days I probably won't be logging in again.

Thank god. please go back to whatever you like. Eve will get bit better.

Seriously though, you played eve for a week and u decided that the whole game is boring? You 'bought' 2 accs because you were impatient? Impatient for what? training for a week?

I can bet all my chars that you don't know anything abt eve and u haven't seen even a bit of it. I can even say you haven't completed the tutorials too. You undocked, looked around, shot some npc's and decided eve is not for you. Excellent decision, dont let the door hit you on your way out.

Not true, I did ALL the tutorials, and many more missions besides that.
My point is, what am I supposed to do now?

I can't do higher level missions, because I don't have the skills for cruisers and bigger ships, and it will be days perhaps weeks before I do.

I can't go off exploring, because of the same issue, I run into rats which I stand no chance against in a destroyer.

I reallize the Devs only want me to sit around until my skills go up, becuase that is how they get me to keep paying for my accounts. However, the fact that I am paying, and really can't do much at all for the moment is pretty rediculous.

And I care because...?

Honestly i thought about it, but the price is a little too high for anything worth buying.

There are ways. there are many things that u can do from day 1. I am not going to spell it out for you if you cant be arsed to find one.

You are one example of a group that thinks using RL money will get u ahead and u can jump into the main part. but actually in eve, the main part is what it takes to get somewhere. there is no end game.

I am not gonna waste time on this stupidity. please, leave now.

oh, and can i have your stuff?

Ohh my bad, I was under the impression that this was a general discussion forum, and I could post what I wanted. It should have said, this is general discussion "only if you praise the game".

Again what do I do?
I can't do any higher missions, due to the reasons that I have given. I can't go exploring for the same reasons I gave. So I guess I am just supposed to wait 4 or 5 days till I can get better stuff to do that?

Doesn't that bother anyone here?

Really the only thing I can do at this point is go run a bunch of level 1 missions, which I have already done at least 30 times, for a pittance, and getting the same missions repeating over and over again.

I know there is trading, there is mining, there are a lot of things, as others have mentioned, and I am sure I could enjoy a lot of those things in another month or so after I have the skills to do them. But in the meantime theres basically nothing to do.

I am saying this to the Devs, either add more content for those starting out the game, or make skills go up faster, I know you would never do that becuase you want people to play for years, but it's a big hurdle for people like me that joined the game and want to be able to enjoy it from the beginning.

Op wouldnt have anything of value after playing a week ^^ Obvious troll is obvious, ib4L

The thing is that you cant do all of them, as you know it takes a long time to train up the skills.

Pvp how? I applied to different corps, all want someone with 5 million SP at a minimum. So I am to head into lowsec by myself in my level 1 frigate with guns, and how do you think thats gonna turn out?
