I'm not staying that I want pvp to be easier, I just think that the game could do a much better job of making the learning curve a bit less vertical.


To be fair, the same could be said of just about every aspect of the New Player Experience, or the game itself. The good news is that CSM7 will likely have a bunch of NPE-focused people with large newbie constituencies - myself, Dovinian, and Kelduum of Eve-Uni at the bare minimum.


On this, I am a new player that have benefitted from coming into this game by an alliance that actually put new players straight into nullsec. I only spent a few days in highsec, , but long enough to know that I probably wouldn’t have lasted my trial if I’d have had to train skills and spend the time that seems necessary in order to be considered by most nullsec alliances. So if it hadn’t been for the awesomeness and handholding provided by Goons, I’d have been gone. (I’m not trying to say that would have been a great loss. I do however swear, DBRB did ask for that bubble that caught all those blues. Oops)

Could the game, for instance, benefit from tossing in an anom that was doable in a destroyer and one doable in a cruiser? I know this goes against what seems to be CCPs idea of starting the game in highsec, stay there for quite some time and then, maybe, venture into lowsec before taking the big leap into nullsec. But my premise is that that idea is bad, and cost the game players. Many of us don’t want that, we want to be able to get right into the fun part of the game right away and participate. Sod the patience thing, get more rifters into nullsec. The experienced players get more to shoot at, and we’ll be badly fit with terrible skills, so it’s not like they won’t already be at an advantage and harvest our killmails.

The hope would be that alliances that currently see new players as a liability (they are dumb) would recruit them. These new players would be using anoms that would otherwise be unused, and able to support themselves more easily. I’m not complaining for myself here, my newbee experience has been great, but that is because I’m a bee and get all the support that goes with it. Reading the recruitment stuff on these forums I’d like to see more alliances doing what we do, and with more stuff to do for new players requiring less hand holding they may see themselves as able to. T2 fit drakes of course isn’t that long of a train, but I think the game would benefit from an even quicker introduction into nullsec, and allowing for more than drakes as a new player ship would also be good.

Just to avoid all doubt, Fon Revedhort voluntarily compares himself to the former Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.

Wow.

The ability to manage an alliance and coalition of so many people shows the kind of leader The Mittani is. You know where my votes are going.

Yeah, its also quite perplexing if he thought that would help his case. If not why the hell would he bring this up?

Support of the *** (let alone that openly) isn't exactly a strong indicator of intelligence or the capacity for rational decision making.

in short: he's ******' duuumb

This is me. I like pretty girls and puppies. Punkturis is all right, too.



But I don’t want just any vote. Too many candidates this year are offering milquetoast, dumbed-down platforms. They support good things and disapprove of bad things. Me? I have balls, and I have enemies. I’m not afraid to name them.


  • If you think that virtual pants are more important than spaceships, I don’t want your vote.

  • If you think that wardecs and PvP should be consensual, I don’t want your vote.

  • If you think that T2 BPO lottery was a good idea, I don’t want your vote.

  • If you think that EVE should be made ‘safe’ from scamming and griefing, I don’t want your vote.

  • If you think that suicide ganking should be banned, I don’t want your vote. In fact, tell me where you hang out, so I can drop a Brutix on you.

  • If “war”, “murder” and “conquest” are naughty words that scare you, I don’t want your vote.



I like stuff that's good and not a fan of things that are bad. But even as a carebear mining candidate I agree with every point you make. Problem is you can agree with all those things and still be a carebear highsec miner.

So I have no doubt you'll emerge on top again, your minions all but guaranty that outcome. I also expect you will again be very effective at representing the folks that will elect you.

I hope however, if a few of us other folk get elected that you'll agree to work with us in partnership to represent all of Eve and not just a well organized minority.

Good luck! (you won't need it! Smile )

Oddly enough if you show up, display a good understanding of the game, manage not to be a mouth breathing ******, and make coherent arguments based on facts and experience of the game - working with him won't be an issue, as just about the entire current CSM would probably vouch.

Not going to scroll through almost twenty pages of goons tugging on themselves to see if this question has been answered; what changes would need to happen where you decide to log into EVE and play instead of queue up another round of WoT?

I'm sorry, I was busy running a massive empire in EVE. You were doing what again?

Running massive empire in EVE = WoT. His cravings are satisfied.

But all games offer different and unique activites to engage in. Propably should play WoT to engage in what WoT offers. Then come back to EVE to enjoy what EVE offers when you got the craving for it.
