Agony Unleashed is launching its newly revised classes with this FREE PVP-Basic class!


***********************************************


Please note: Enrollment for this class is done through a form. This includes Alumni.

Class signup closes March 19th @1600 Eve time

Agony Unleashed invites players of all levels of experience to our newly revamped PVP-Basic class. We've been hard at work completely overhauling the content of our classes to better suit modern Eve and to provide a more accessible progression for our students. This is our entry-level class and is therefore the first of the new curriculum to be released. As the first run of this class since the revision, we're offering it entirely free of charge!

New to Eve and keen to get straight into PVP? An older player but never been confident enough to try a public roam? Returning to the game and feeling a bit rusty? This class is for you! You'll learn how to survive, participate and have fun in fleet operations and at the end of the class, will know all you need to get involved in any public roam. This could be the beginning of an addiction to Eve PVP that takes you from "hey, this is pretty fun!" to commanding fleets of your fellow pilots.

You'll be taught through a step-by-step approach that focuses on what you need to know so you don't get lost - from joining a fleet, through keeping up with your fleetmates to PVP communication and more. If you've tried to join a fleet before and found it a little overwhelming, this class should fill in the gaps and help smooth the learning curve. At the end of the class section, we'll go straight into a roam through Nullsec and you'll immediately be able to put your skills to use.

The core topics this class will be covering are:

  • Basic fleet maneuvering
  • Basic PvP mechanics
  • Communication and recon

Future classes (yet to be announced) will cover more advanced aspects of PVP but all will have PVP-Basic as a prerequisite.

Time and Duration: ~3-4 hours including roam

  • Class: Saturday 19th March starting at 20:00 EVE Time. Please try to arrive well before the class is due to start.
  • Roam: On the SAME day as the class, the roam will start when the class finishes.

Meeting Location: Berta IV - Moon 19 - Ammatar Consulate Bureau

Price: FREE

While we normally charge for our classes, we're excited to try this newly revised syllabus and have therefore decided to offer the class for free on a one off basis.

Voice Comms: Agony Comms, Teamspeak 3 (TS3)

See the PVP-BASIC Wiki Page for prerequisites and preparation material for this class.

In particular, read through the PVP-BASIC Preparation Checklist!

Note - as with all Agony classes, you should bring your own ships. Please see the announcement thread on our forums for required ships and fittings and ensure you review the pages linked above, some time before the class!

Looks like we're over half full but still plenty of spaces for the time being. We have also arranged for a set of suitable ships for the class to be available on contracts at the starting location (reasonably priced), so you can just sign up and make your way over there - no need to ship anything else!

We're going to have a good turnout so should be fun!
