EVE General Discussion

I know that is exactly why you turned against other playing styles, I don't have to think it. You have lost 6 times to 1v1 fights, and could benefit from better understanding of general aggression mechanics.


Edit: Probably should have said "encounters" since you got lul smartbombed by a battleship :P

Umm... it's a little hard to explain in a forum post. But you might like eve better if you had the skill set to PVP and have some success with it. Be it 1v1 or in a fleet.

Well yea... scouting is step one.

What is the saying... the god's favor the willfully ignorant?

No wait, that can't be right...


I can take you through low sec in a shuttle and be impervious to attack. I can do the same through most of null, and with a stealth bomber most certainly. You might die if we run into a PL camp, but besides that the universe is mine. But since you think the end game is "Scout and wait for them to dissipate" I guess you will never really know will you?

Maybe you should stop posting in this thread and let people who actually know what they are talking about speak a little.

What excellent and balanced risk versus reward system would you be referring to?

OP just learned that the vast majority of EVE players are risk averse carebears regardless of them living in high, low or null and/or being "fierce" PVPers. Bit slow on that one Praet :P

Go poke him in the other thread, he seems to be playing with the new clothes. I'd really rather not see his bum anytime soon >.>

Well...


Solecist Project has officially been poked and appears to be ignoring my hail at this point. I have to say, I am a little bit surprised at this turn of events. I am currently sitting in HEK as requested in the same ship that I fought sibyyl in.



If this does not pan out, Eternum shall fly 38 jumps to a low sec destination reputed to have a pirate who will 1v1 me in an assault frigate. Tune in next time for another adventure!!!!

I'm telling Uncle Ripard on you.

I'm pretty much a brand new player who is perhaps 2 weeks old. So far my experience with pvp is simply getting destroyed everytime I try to fight back, and to make matters worse an experienced player was wardec'd my Corporation mostly filled with new players as well. I have lost a Rupture to this guy, and I lost a couple Ventures to other guys by taking risks in danger space.

Mostly the reasons I can think of are this for me:

It takes quite a bit of time putting together all the mods, weapons, ammo, and everything else just to fit whatever ship I have.

Ships cost Isk which doesn't grow on trees for most truly new players (unless they buy a couple PLEX and sell them, or know of ways via friends on how to make Isk fast).

It's frustrating having to wait to max out the appropriate skills for just ONE THING like focusing on frigate dps and skills only for a week or so when I want to do other stuff and explore the game. Basically I don't really want to put all my points into just one thing at first but many to diversify.

I don't really know what I am doing, and the idea of loosing dozens and dozens of ships I have to refit over and over again just to learn seems incredibly frustrating. Not to mention that it also seems REALLY expensive as well.

Lastly, the only true place I know of where I can just start fighting random people would be in nullsec without CONCORD interference, and that means little me is gonna be swimming in the deep end with all the BIG sharks and super maxxed out ships. Doesn't sound promising as a solo player frankly. Even if I was with others atm I'm sure we'd only make a nice snack for some nullsec players.
