Pictures?

tell us how you got the face hugger on the back of your head first

because its legitimate advice

Well that explains the glasses.

I think rose-tinted would be more appropriate though.

We have a symbiotic relationship, it feeds on my negative emotions and I don't try and kill it.


I did mean I want to see his hoard of loot though. I'm talking old school dragons here.

Mission baiting and all that is legit gameplay and can be good fun, but i would never encourage new players to stay in high sec like the op is doing because they would miss the best part of this game.

That advice deserves the scrublord award of the week.

Jaded and Grumpy?

Just because I mentioned some of the issues pertaining to this thread topic outlined in the Blog doesn't mean I'm a bitter vet.

If you're gonna post advice for new players in this sub-forum then you need to post all the info pertaining to that subject, both positive and negative instead of just focusing on the positive side and over sensationalizing it.

And yes, everyone else who posted disapproval of what I stated and praised the Blog with replies saying how good it works also bypassed the issues I listed, thus intentionally misleading new players into thinking this is a win/win situation.


I agree. Just on the first page of this sub-forum alone I see 5 different threads started by the OP all linking to his Blog. I haven't really checked the other threads like I did with this one. I can only hope the OP has included all info pertaining to those thread topics, regardless if it's Pro or Con.

In my opinion referencing the Blog in answer to a new players question is fine but making a new thread topic here just to promote the Blog goes against the description for 'Eve New Citizens Q&A' :

I highly doubt CCP would want or allow everyone with a Blog to start creating threads here in order to promote their own opinions which ultimately influence the viewpoints of new players.

I'd say that's definitely something to seriously consider.

You mean like the newbie corps promote all styles of play right?

I agree on paper, but in practice newbies only seem to get the positive advice on the forums (not everyone reads them) or from the occasional vet making an alt or passing through a newbie system. Hell I only met ONE person in the newbie corp who was supportive of me and the newbies I convinced (tricked? duped?) to join me for low sec shenanigans. They need all the positive advice surrounding these kinds of non carebearing activities they can get.



Please?

The ending you have planned sounds epic though I'll admit.

Feyd, your writing is unimaginative and your blog is terrible. Stop desperately trying to increase your own relevancy with your rampant stealth advertisement threads. Have some shame.

New players should be taught to embrace all aspects of the game and find their own niche. I respect mission baiters and gankers as much as anyone, but your sperging promotes a toxic and judgmental mindset towards a large proportion of players and their play styles. This makes you the last person who should be offering advice to new players in a sandbox game. You are in fact anti-sandbox, but you're likely too deluded to ever see that.

One might say you are the Bill O'Reily of the high-sec piracy community.

Actually, now that I actually read it there's a lot of stuff missing in that blog and/or just silly. There's far more details and granularity, even for starting Asshats, to understand and make use of. On top of all that; telling people to use ships that do kin/therm damage when the majority of missions runners tanks exactly that is, at best, questionable.

Damage type selectable weapons, preferably ones that don't use cap so you can start using a neut (although not much at frigate level), is preferred.
