EVE General Discussion

have zero intention to ever set foot in NULL again. Tried it, and had our POS nuked by a blob at 3,30am. tried to move stuff out, and were camped until the reinforced expired. the blob came, finished off all our worldy goods, and was left with a pod. which I cba to try to get back into high, so ended up podding myself, and unsubbing for approx a year.

Came back, and now have the best fun after plexing for a marauder, and running level 4s with friends on a by-daily basis when we want to.

NULL just feels like a lab experiment to test the limits of you tolerance 24/7. It's just not fun, you cant make it home, you cant have your own little corner of space without someone trampling your herb garden at 3am whilst you sleep. It's just pointless.

Wormhole space is more like it. Wormholers tend to be a different breed of player, you can hunker down a bit better, and deliberately pick an undesirable system and keep your head down. It's something i'll be happy to look into in the near future, but i'll try anything once, and if burned, strike it off the list.

I mentioned it before, but it's the whole forced pvp thing in a glass jar I can't get on with.. wing clipped insects trapped in a glass jar with no way to escape.. sometimes we want to 'get out there' and not fight, yet eve is based on this entire premise. I absolutely agree it's probably "not the game for me", but it's what I have right now, and other options are looming on the horizon that would probably suite my play style much much nicer.

TLDR; forced PvP is too much, too stressful 24/7. Sometimes want a mountain retreat, in the wilds and kick back and relax.

So true!

I had to look him up as I did not know the artist by name, but I recognize his work on White Wolf material from the past. While comics are not my favourite art style, I do like his high-contrast style. Why do you ask?

I live in lowsec because it provides everything I require to get maximum enjoyment out of the game. I don't care to be part of the null-sec sov warfare scene myself or to be on call for a large alliance, even though I marvel at how intricate and impressive the whole thing can be sometimes. NPC null isn't for me either because I dislike bubbles. Hi sec is rather dull and doesn't provide much risk, therefore not providing much fun. Low provides me with enough ISK to live comfortably and casually yet has the risk that makes living there more exciting, and the sec hits through PVP aren't really much of a big deal. Plus, there's FW which is great fun in itself.

edit: I do occasionally go to empty-usually-renter-space nullsec systems via WH hopping, but as far as living there, I'd rather be in low which provides me with the playstyle I like.

So it seems last Sunday was second anniversary of my null residence :)

Time.

I only get 3-4 hours a day to play, with DT in the middle of it. If have to spend 2 hours + playing hide and seek then I'd get nothing done ever.

This pretty much

Why bother with 0.0 when wormholes give a target rich, and profitable environment, with the ability to wander in 0.0 , low, or highsec depending on a roll of the WH dice.

Small gang warfare (as well as the larger blobby type) is alive and well and going on beyond the event horizon

Dont let that stop you

As a fellow ex-provi member, there's no better video which represents day to day pvp down there.
