EVE New Citizens Q&A

As GW2 becomes more of a casual game to me due to its expansion's very repetitive nature, my attention turns more to this game.

So I'm considering the move to null, but the more I consider it the less appealing it gets.

Presently I'm using +4 attribute implants, if I move to null I wouldn't be using any due to their likely demise. Which is a big drop in training. At a time when training is still important.

If I was a PvE player of course I wouldn't have this dilemma as my rate of training wouldn't change.

So I'm starting to feel like a prisoner in high-sec because of the attribute implants.


Which has me wondering how many people stay in high-sec because of the attribute system.

One day you will ask yourself, "sooooo what do I train next...", and on that day, you will give no fuks how much SP you may or may not have lost previously.

go have some fun.

Your maths is a bit out, I can only think of 3, 1 of those was a warning about the skill queue not working, another about the skills that I had trained and a question about the test server and this one.

You're the one that is trolling.

I'm still calm believe it or not.

In this thread I'm not looking for assurances that was the other thread and those questions were answered.

This thread is more about what I'm finding.

Part of the problem is I still don't understand how players have accepted the fact that PvE players in high-sec can train more quickly than PvP players.

Maybe another issue is that I'm used to levelling characters fairly quickly and here that comes down to the skill queue and implants as there's no other way to progress a character.

Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaah.

In EVE, forget everything you have learned in other MMOs. It won't help you here. Having "good" skills is only part of the equation to be being "good." You also need experience.

And here is something you are probably missing; if you have a lot of skillpoints you WILL be held to a higher standard by other players. So much so in fact that you will probably be denied entry into a lot of different groups just because they expect you to have a fair bit more experience and a better attitude towards risk and dying.

This is why many of us push newbies to go out and die in a fire right off the bat. It teaches them to accept that losses are a part of the game and how to survive better with less... which helps as you get more involved with the game and your skills improve.
There have been many times where I have been stranded in a hostile area and the only things available to me are Tech 1 ships and meta equipment.

As for the implants... they are luxury items. Nothing more.
Don't see this luxury as a NEED. Go out and just do stuff.

(and frankly, I am so tired of this debate about attribute implants that I am just HOPING that the DEVs simply remove implants altogether and not replace it with anything... just to give a proper "up yours" to people who think "lots of skillpoints = necessary"... but this isn't going to happen because LP stores are apparently a HUGE isk-sink in the game).

I hadn't even considered that.




I get the feeling there are a few on the forums that are also tired of the subject.


But thanks for your replys

You can sit in high sec and train "faster" (if you look at your attributes, as assigned, and figure with/without implants, it's about 10-15%) and do nothing and get bored of the game in about a month, at which point you'll consider dropping the subscription because what's the point...

or

You can go to null and have fun for a year, train slightly slower, but gain a ton of actual PVP experience that will trump the 10% extra skills that the guy in high-sec has, every single fight.

The combat in this game isn't "computer compares trained skill levels to see who wins", you have to actually know WTF you're doing in PVP. So, go to null, PVP your heart out, learn, have fun, and enjoy the game. This is the point of the game, not accumulating skillpoints.

Some of us have been helping new players in this section of the forums for a bit longer than the past week. I totally agree with Asda Ja.

We do wind up answering a lot of the same questions over and over again. But I guess that kind of goes with helping new players.

CCP has already acknowledged that attributes and (pure) learning imps are bad for the game ... now they need to find a way to eliminate them without to much fallout to the economy. They will eventually go ...

... that said, what I'm doing is switching between my learning clone and the PvP clones at session start/end. Since I play only workday evenings or on weekends, with also often not being able to play for days or weeks, this is a good compromise.

The harvest of tears from that is just exquisite.

I've been wardecced four times by people after doing that post-suicide-gank.
