EVE General Discussion

So I've been playing EVE for a few weeks now. I'm running lvl 1 missions and was thinking about getting a cruiser to run lvl 2 missions. I've also been doing some mining here and there. Thing is, what should I aspire to become? Is the point of the game simply to get more money and buy new ships? Currently, running missions is not exactly a ton of fun.

I feel like the point of the game is get a good enough ship to be able to PVP in massive battles, but right now, I play about an hour per day and I feel like I'm forever going to be a noob at this game. I learned a bunch of things, but yet when I watch PVP videos I still don't understand a damn thing about what's going on...

I feel like the learning curve is too big for a player like me. Should I continue or just stop now?

Sure, if you want to be a miner.

Red Vs Blue really, really is PvP on demand at any time of the day.

The fact RvB Culture praises T1 Frigate, Destroyer and Cruiser use to keep PvP flowing with low cost is just another serendipitous benefit to the newer players.

You will be very hard pressed to find round the clock action anywhere else. More then 3000 members.

Just join Red Federation or Blue Republic once you move your stuff into the HQ. Google RvB EVE for more information.

To learn the game yes but if you want to just up and shoot people EVE U doesn't have 20% the amount of PvP RvB puts out.

RvB has plenty of training information on there website and everyone is helpful.

lol hour per day is definitely on the high end of casual...i wouldnt even call you casual, though i'll admit it's on the debatle end of things

yes, you can absolutely play this game at an hour per day or less

an hour a week maybe? ok, THAT seems pointless.

EVE is more like any other hobby than a casual game. Yes, I think succeeding and advancing in EVE requires dedication.

And you are correct, missioning isn't much fun. Find a real corp that does more interesting things and is "RL first", NPC corps aren't good for enjoying this virtual world.

you should join FW and have fun for a few months before ccp steamrolls 0.0 sov gheyness all over it and we have to join rvb

Take a look at corp recruitment forum, also there is a corp recruitment window on your necom, find the corp button and look for recruitment. Also might want to check out Eve University.

The point of Eve is to have fun making your way in a dangerous world. Your goals are your own, how you get there is pretty much your choice, choices with consequences. Keep in mind it is the path to your goal where the fun lives. Set small goals at first, then larger ones later. The smaller your initial goals, the smaller your obstacles. Enjoy overcoming them. You have to be your own regulator on how often the game drops you a cookie. If your goals are small, you get lots of smaller cookies, but at least you are getting them. If you set out some huge goal, you may get a giant cookie, but you'll loose sight of all the fun you can have along the way.

Things to rember about Eve,
You will die and you will loose stuff.
If someone smack talks you, don't take it personally.
It's a game, have fun.

First, decide what you'd like to do. Try things until you find something.

It is very possible to play EVE on that level.
First though. move away from the Moar ships aspect. Move toward the Moar fit aspect.

If you chose to fly Minmatar cruiser class, Skill to fit that class. Think of EVE as a race car game. You don't buy all the cars, you pick a few and tweak thier performance, add new tires a better suspension, some engine upgrades. That's the ideal way to do casual EVE. become a pro at a few things. Niche out your skills.

It depends on what you want to do. If you're casual, there are some parts of the game that pretty much instantly become almost fully inaccessible to you.
