I was about to horribly pervert that. Yeah solo pvp still exists id assume you just have to make it quick before it becomes 10vs1.

Oh, I perfectly understand, Hal Morsh — a mission like this requires courage, skill, and heroism… qualities you are clearly lacking. Have you forgotten you're one of the bloody immortals!?

Yeah I don't cout ganking as pvp. The chance to defend? When you do 3-4 collies and pop the lowest income class in the game using a corpmate or isoboxing there's hardly a chance for defense. Which I've also see mission ships ganked tank on my 10-11 cata, lasted as long as a miner or freighter does regardless And not a lot of defense going on against alpha.
Gankers just come from wow to get more tears because the people they kill in town only has to walk back to the body.

Your fits must look terrible if you believe any of this rubbish to be true

I can only give 1more advice apart from what the rest already said.

Try to find out where like minded people live in low sec, form a kindah "friendship" with them. Cause if you get or ask for a nice 1v1 most of the time people will honor it and if they see you hanging there often pretty soon ull have all the fights ud want. Thats pretty much what i did with a gal mil corp. Granted they still wanna gank my ass from time to time but hey thats the game,can't help it :)

Fw is good for this stuff , roam around the citadel/black rise region. Those are good spots but just to be sure to keep away from the so called "leet" pvp entities like assbox and such. These people will say they will give you a fight but in reality they are just ******** who always bring somethin that drasticaly counters your set up or blob or use links etc etc you get the ideea

Just because i am blond does not make me stoopid !

Just i feel soloing is becoming a pretty boring, non existant and rather difficult. Targets are not readily available, ive spent hours hunting for stuff sometimes. Then when you do find them they either have friends on the other side of the gate, or they have cynos for caps and bops and you get ganked. Its almost impossible to escape due to people having scrams, webs, neu
ts and jams when getting ganked amongst other things. Unless you have 5 accounts multiboxing is almost not a good hing to be doing.

Just be interesting to hear what people think on this subject

Everything in this game is pvp to one extent or another. Some days I pvp for rage & tears, very effectively, without ever firing a shot. HowQuestionQuestion

.................................................. My secret, but it includes stabs, a cloak, bookmarks and a hostile gang. After an 15-20 minutes of never leaving their local and popping up on different parts of their grid, you wouldn't imagine the frustration and the frothing. The occasional ninja looting while they sperg at you is a nice bonusTwisted

You'd be surprised how few points the average fleet hasPirate




I was hunting for sick loot, but all I could get my hands on were 50 corpses[:|]..............[:=d]

That's part of the gruond work. Watch who frequents local, who are they together with? Check out the POSes, see who they belong to, check the POCOs. Check corp stats, current wars, you name it.

Know thy enemy...

Also set a precendent for yourself. Sometimes it may be worth losing a few ships to see what they got, what they like to do. Cheap frigs or industrials. Ventures are good for this. You might want to pretend to be more noobish, get caught with a bad fit, you know, lasers on a rifter, that sort of thing. Do a bit of mining, you'd be suprised how uncareful some people get if they think they can get a quick "carebear" kill.

I always reccomend to people to read the old "EVE's guide to piracy" lots of the standard tactics and necessary knowledge. Stuff there that's need to know even if you don't want to specifically PvP so you can save your own tail if you're the hunted.

For the newbie reading this: I got hundreds of safe spots planned out in null sec, low sec, high sec and WH space. If you don't know what a safe spot is and you're reading this, you have your first bit of homework if you want to survive EVE.

Few people understand the psycology of a highway traffic cop. Your average speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side. This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop heart. Make the bastard chase you. He will follow.

I have this feeling that the usual suspects ought to be in here assaulting you with all the same arguments they throw at carebears that want to avoid unwanted confrontation and play by themselves in isolation. However no one seems to be doing so, so let me try on their behalf.

This is a PvP mmo. You have no right to be left alone. You consent to getting killed by overwhelming odds by undocking. You have no valid claim to one on one PvP. Stop trying to change the game to fit YOUR playstyle. Stop trying to make this a themepark. If you want one on one PvP go back to WoW.


Did I get that right?

Solo PVP isn't dead! You just need to make sure you have your booster, remote rep, cyno, and emergency Falcon alts logged in and ready before you do any solo PVPing.

Despite the drivel you got in response from the know-it-all children that play EVE today, the reason there's no solo pvp is largely due to the introduction of the things you listed there. They enable these children to "play AT" pvp thinking that's what they're actually doing. In a fair fight, they run to mommy.

CCP took the "fair" out of the "fight" to pucker up to these asses.

There you go.

Paradise is like where you are right now, only much, much better.
