EVE New Citizens Q&A

Is not newbie friendly !

I needed 3 friends to help me get started even with the tutorial ! <3

I noticed that and these forums they looks quite good lots of answer from smarter poeple than me !

Whilst this sub forum us explicitly troll free it's worth noting that the rest of the forums are effectively weponised, General Discussion in particular.

And yes eve is hard, this is a good thing, it weeds out the stupid and the week Willed.

Your already in a player corporation with friends so you're doing well, the day one advice we usually give is "do the tutorials,make friends, join a player corporation".

Remember we are here with a broad range of skill sets so if you're curious about anything your Corp mates know nothing about, chances are one of us will know plenty, or at the very least be able to point you towards further reading on the subject.

Welcome aboard

More experienced or wiser not necessarily smarter. We've just been around this game longer than you that's it. Eve is deep but I've not run across anything that the average person could not pick up if they are willing to play around with stuff and see how it works. If you are willing to read or watch videos it gets even easier.

This game is not like other MMOs that have breadcrumb quest lines to lead you from one situation to the next to teach you the whole game and get you level capped. Eve is more of an exploration based game and you have to enjoy learning and figuring stuff out. I've been playing this game for about 6 years and there is still a lot that I have left to learn.

If you enjoy finding your own way while playing with others you'll like eve. If you like questlines and achievements you probably won't.

Just as a note when I say find your own way I mean discover your own method of operation or your own play style not get by solo.

Damn it! Too many links, I'll sort this out in a while. sorted

I can agree. The old newbie tutorials were better at the very least.

Dear OP,

Welcome to Eve. Please, please keep in mind that the "Eve New Citizens Q&A" sub-forum is intended as a safe place to ask ignorant questions and to seek polite language infused answers.

A genuine question showing that you've done a bit of personal research before asking, by what ever means ought to be answered politely for the most part, to the best of most peoples' ability in this sub forum area

You may not necessarily encounter as positive, cheerful, and helpful a response in other parts of the Eve forum. Particularly as referenced in this thread, for instance in General Discussion.

In any case,

Fly safe or dangerous as you prefer!

1) As long as you stay away from the subforum "General Discussion" you are quite safe from the trolls.
2) There are plenty of very good video tutorials on youtube about every aspects of EVE.

This it partially true, it depends greatly on which corp you join.

NPC corps are not exactly helpful, They are mostly filled with new characters who can't offer that much in the way of advice or assistance.

Join a player run corp. Preferably one that is part of an alliance and has experienced players in it.

If someone is a complete beginner I would recommend corps like EVE university to walk you through the basics of the game and get you to a point where you can start doing whatever it is that you wanted to do in the game.

After that new players should head on down to the recruitment sub forum and look for a corp that you think you will fit in to.

The blind leading the blind...

It's one thing for a gang of mates to form a Corp and derp about the place, that's how I started,
but another thing for a newbie to recruit other newbies when they barely understand the game themselves,
it's entirely unfair to the recruits.
