really the difference between a vet and a new player is the vet has the specific skills he wants at 5.

training most skills to lvl 4 takes like a few days each, alot less for some. Its done that was so a new pilot, providing she/he knows what they want can rapidly train to lvl 4 in each skill and be effective, not the best, but effective. Granted some things take longer, like t2 ships but those arent beginner things anyway.

lvl 4 bs, gun skills at lvl 4, cap and nav skills at lvl 4 and tank of your choice lvl 4, all up would take like, a month maybe. I had this pilot in a retriever before i even left rookie chat.

Yes its slow and a bit bleh for the first week or 2, but every new game is going to be like that, as you work out what to do, what you like, what interests you.

Eve has chewed you and spit you, youre not strong enough.


Can you tell me which one of these are you? Im just curious :P Though youre the poor **** impaled down there im afraid.


You even fail at doing the tutorial, if i remember it right, they give you a merlin, and theres a mission that makes you use a webifier, so you snap a mwd and a point and there u go, tackler, couple hours and already pewpewing.

Because tities .

the game doesn'tr try very hard to immerse you in NPC bullcrap. You should get immersed in an environment where other people affect what you do. I would think RvB was a good place for that.


exactly, the character i use for RvB (actually in and out of RvB swapping for faction warfare) has like 7 mil SP and kicks ass in a Thorax lol. In fact, the onyl ting holding that toon back is the fact that I'm at the keyboard Cool

Its a cool concept, but some major flaws with this game need to be addressed for people under the 10M SP bar. Ill just accept the fact that training skills in real time is just a part of this game that is never going to change. However, there are two fixes to this game that would of kept me still playing those being:

-Better story, missions, environments-
I do not feel immersed. I feel no sense of accomplishment going to different stations and killing space pirates. The terrain is all the same. A metal box orbiting a moon and some pirates in some asteroid belt by some secrete science facility. There is no direction for me to go.

-Reduced monthly expense for people who just want to train OPTION-
There is no justification to pay 20 dollars for something where you do nothing. There should be an option to pay only 1 dollar a month. You cannot log into the server. All you do is go on the website and click skills to train.

Anyway those are my two problems. Ill keep tabs on this game to see if there are any new developments.

Sorry guys, I feel like a failure, like I just barely missed falling in love with this game, but I gave it a few months. I gave it an honest shot. This just is not the game for me. And when I say not the game for me, I mean; this is just not a game in my eyes worth paying 15 dollars a month for.

I am sure to some of you eve vets and eve enthusiast probably think I am crazy, but there is a huge hill you have to climb as a new player, but the climb for a new player is nothing but waiting.... Its like the game and the gaming community are telling new players "this is an awesome game and we know you know it, so we are going to make you wait months and months doing nothing before you have any fun".

Best of luck to you all.

Guess how people with more than 10mil SP got them, kiddo? They played the game and paid in full.

Also, low SP doesn't make you uncompetitive. The attitude that it does is what makes you uncompetitive. It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

This is a game for patient gamers. Ie, it's a good game. The reason there are so many bad games coming out, or being released before being completed (*ahem*xafterbirth*ahem*) is because of impatient gamers. Bad games attract impatient gamers.

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.

Generally the only reason you would be ineffective under 10 million SP is if you mucked about and built a random toon that trained a bit of mining and then maybe trained industrials, decided to go exploring but didnt lik eit, swapped races decided they like battlecruisers then went to battleships instead swapped from missiles to turrets before realising they really need a drone boat and swapped again then decided they liked the look of ninja stuff and went all the way back to frigates and started doing covops.

If you have some sort of focus for a character for example assault frigates to V in a particular race with T2 weapons to match you will be very effective way under 10 mill SP.

As far as $1 play cost, goes letting people train multiple alts for $12 a year per character is probably not a great plan. You do realise you can play for free once you start making ISK providing you stay focussed on a plan and do not keep buying newer every shinier ships.
