O And i forgot to ask: " Can I has your stuff " ?

I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your terror comes, When your terror comes like a storm, And your destruction comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you.   Proverbs 1:26-27

Wait. You managed to get several billion of assets but didn't get over the training times? You know, with that amount of ISK you could have just bought yourself a PvP character on the Bazaar!


Meh... I don't like how you people design characters. They all look like **** supersoldier Silvester Stallone wannabes.



Well, since you mention it...

Well, this happens to everybody at some point. The trick is to maximize the fun/frustration by blowing, killing and gathering the most ships and tears with the lowest investment. See, ganking an exhumer of 200m with 10m worth of catalyst is so funny!

You win the math fail of year award if you think 4 million SP has a chance against 20 million. But maybe you're just a complete dumb dumb.

Except that a 4 million sp character does have a chance. At that point you can have 1 mill in gunnery, 1 mill in tanking of the appropriate type, 1 mill in navigation, and 1 mill in other core fitting skills. Fitting meta3/4 mods with a dcu 2 on any solo combat capable frigate can lead to a very mean ship. Will it win a straight up fight against another character with higher sp in an identically fit ship? No, but it doesn't need to.

Eve is a game where 90% of pvp is picking the fights and 5% is actually fighting (Don't ask where the other 5% went, you don't want to know). Both pilots try to engage only against ships that they have advantage against, at ranges that benefit them.

This character has 6 million sp, but I can guarantee that it performs better in pvp than my 21 mill sp mission runner, and I'm not talking about just suicide ganks.

OP is entitled to his opinion.

And so am I. OP is basically crying because Eve is too hard and doesn't have instant gratification.

Welcome to Eve, the only game that resembles the real world even a little bit. Maybe the problem is that you took that same tone while you were playing the game. It doesn't exactly attract the nice people (who are totally there even if you never met them).

Next March will be five years I will have played eve. I got mad once but hey I was taught as a kid to never quit. If you can't beat em, make an alt get into there corp spend a year moving up the chain of command to steal all the things. And on the note of the skill thing its the best ever. I can play other games while skills are training in eve no xp grinding I love this game its not perfect it needs work but its trucking fantasticnessepicwinsauce.Smile

As the great Mc Chris said never give up never surrender Fight the good fight until the end of the night always remember never give up!!!

ITT OP joins BNI, a group well known for exploding hilariously at any given opportunity, and for their ethic of fighting everybody they can. OP then complains about exploding hilariously Roll

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Hmm, not sure how this hasn't been locked yet. So...

32. "Quitting" posts are only permitted on the Out of Pod Experience channel.

CCP recognize that during the course of gameplay a lot of friendships are made between players and that sometimes if a player is taking a break or departing from the EVE universe that they would like to say goodbye on the forums. Posts of this nature are only permitted on the Out of Pod Experience forum, and must be civil and well worded.
