EVE General Discussion

so many risk averse people on WoT too. wait, those might be eve players!

You're like a fighter that doesn't get nervous before fights.

It makes you better being able to detach emotion and think clearly - you're a serious killing machine now - revel in your destructive power!

Even though I've been at it more than a decade, I still get a panic attack when my squad comes up on a flight of HE111s and I'm sitting in a wood and cloth Hurricane with 30 seconds of ammo. Nothing kicks the adrenaline in like bouncing a bunch of bombers from the sun, knowing they are guarded by a group of expert players flying Emils that can shred you in a second.

Oops...wrong game. Uh...EVE...it's like playing horseshoes for PVP excitement. You need immersion to suspend disbelief and a third person spaceship clickfest just doesn't cut it. I have yet to feel more than mild interest in what's happening on the field of battle in this game.

Mr Epeen

Start using wifi in a public place, and every time you lose a ship, you take off an article of clothing. It is guaranteed to get exciting one way or the other.

Raise the risk factor.

EVE PvP rush is all about the risk of losing something. Unless you tell me that you frequently do Titan's drive-by, drop Nyx on thrasher or fly 5bil Orthruses against overwhelming odds, I don't think the fun has ended for you yet.

It all comes down to experience in pvp and your situational awareness.
I very very rarely get an adrenaline rush in pvp anymore either, apart from rare moments.

90% of the time going into a fight, i know the enemy, and I know my own skill and ship well enough to know that i'll either obliterate them without much of a fight, or I will have the option to GTFO if needed.
As for fleets, I know my corp mates and my FC are competent enough to make the right calls and keep us alive.
And as someone else mentioned, the lack of adrenaline is in fact only a good thing. It ensures you're on top of your game, and you're not getting tunnel visioned. This is also beneficial to your fleet, and you should consider FC'ing or flying Logi since you will be able to multitask like a baws without the tunnel vision and the "Wtf am i doing lol" feeling.

And because I have this level of confidence, knowing what fights to take and which to avoid, I eliminate pretty much all the risk. It's just a matter of, as you said, warp in, click, click, boom.

And as for the times when i DO get an adrenaline rush, it's the moment when I'm outside my own comfort zone, and I'm not 100% sure as to what the outcome will be.

Grab a Nomen and start kiting entire fleets of frigates. You'll know exciting.

Drop the hammer on some peeps with 6 x RR Dominix multiboxed by yourself. You'll know exciting.

Usually people state examples in threes but I can't think of anything else so I'll just type this instead. You'll know exciting.

i think solo would bring it back for me,hence the problem,anything more than my self and it making me sleepy.

Well instead of somebody telling you where the easter eggs are you kinda need to make that great big discovery that theres more than just easter eggs in life and set out on your own to make that discovery.

Ransoms might actually get paid, and bounties would have real meaning then.
