EVE General Discussion

I dont know what planet CCP live on but the new player experience is complete crap. Have you noticed? I know i have. We need to fix this, So I had an idea: for Rubicon (or before if ccp actually learn to programm) expand the role of the tutorial agent to be a computer AI thing that follows you around and makes helpful suggestions or points out good resorces to learn stuff. people always say "omg join a guild noob" but that is alot of comitment and risk for a new player and it is why so many still have'nt done it. I know I dont join a guild because its all so hostile. (I tried once and i almost lost all my stuff to awoxer dbags trying to shot in hisec)

so for the HELPER AI thing it can maybe help u by sugesting what ammo to use against npcs or pointing out when your at the wrong range. it can even have a SCAM DETECT feature to warn you if your about to fall for a scam like a isk double liar or contract scam. to appease the greifers () they can even add a price to it and make it an ISK SINK and if u still think its bad then your probably just a goon who wants eve to fail because it is ABSOLUTLY HOSTILE TO NOOBS

CMON CCP FIX YOUR GAME STOP WASTING MY MONEY ON WIS AND DO SOME REAL WORK

+1 below if u agree

OP is on crack.

Actually, Noob friendly corps arent hard to find. There arent many of them but they are well known. Just dont expect every random highsec corp to be friendly

Reported for being insulting to crack.

When I started Eve, Aura didn't exist. You newbro types have it so much better, and are so thankless. Eve is a strong "player v. player" game. Aura isn't suppose to hold your hand. CCP has developed a solid set of resources for newer players and have many employees and volunteers to assist further. Your request here for CCP to "actually learn to programm" and "DO SOME REAL WORK" is laughable and absurd.

the sheer amount of things Eve throws at you when you first start the game is absurd and stupidly over-the-top. I know that now, 6 months into the game, the amount of knowledge is fine and I know where to look for help, but if you asked me 5-6 months ago, I would be incredibly lost. And three to four months to learn a game is a pretty steep learning curve.

Really is one born every day isn't there.

Rules of EvE
1) Don't fly what you cannot afford to lose
2) Just like RL, if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is
3) Never trust a Goon
4) Never trust Anyone, especially a Goon.
5) Never expect sympathy on the forums
6) Assume the CSM is not the players representative.
7) If you cheat CCP will catch you, unless you are Somer Blink at which point they will give you billions.
8) EvE is Hard, cold and nasty, get used to it.

I think that sums it up

How about we hire concierge GMs to hold new players hands for 30 days 23.75/7?

How about we make all new player accounts immune to damage for 30 days, just so they can learn PvP without losing a ship?

How about new players get everything on the market for free for 30 days so they can concentrate on the game instead of making ISK to afford things in game?

How about new players are reimbursed for any scams they fall for for 30 days as well?



How about instead we start new players out with progressively more difficult tutorials which show them how things are done, then we start them out on missions that will have levels determining their difficulty, lets say 1-5, 1 being the easiest. Lets also give new players access to a Rookie chat channel for 30 days that allows them to ask questions if theyre stumped. Lets also start them out in 1.0 systems that are protected from ganking and asshattery by ISDs. I think this is a good idea.

TLDR take the tampon out of your @ss and deal with it

Ah, Eve is Dying. There it is.

And yes, you SPECIFICALLY asked for hand-holding in your OP, and now you say it's NOT about hand-holding? Make up your mind. The new player experience is a good tool; most of you new kids just can't be p!ssed to actually READ what is being shown you. Take the tutorials. Read the freakin' material. Want more? Read the Wiki. Use Google. Ask non-noob questions in Help Chat.

If you think this game should be holding your hand you really need to go back to WoW or Hello Kitty.
