Missions & Complexes

My friend and I like to get together and run missions, but the problem is all the level four missions are to easy at this point. I can solo any level four, with my buddy along a level four becomes rather booring.

I checked into the level fives, but i'm told there are gankers who hang around the level five mission hubs in. Low sec making level fives a giant hassle.

I deal with hassles all day at work. When I come home and want to relax I seldom want so be bothered with in game harassment.

In any case, just a friendly suggestions , how about putting some more advanced two player missions for people like myself who just want to want to chat with a buddy on Skype, have a drink and run a few missions.

Just for me personally, the main problim I have run into in EVE is, other then pvp, there is not much I can team up with to do with my buddy.

I'm open to suggestions.

By that logic having my three kids use me as a jungle gym while trying to run a mission counts as added difficulty.

Or,

Do a few shots before running a mission makes is more challenging. Lol.

Have you tried the epic arcs for each of the four main factions? http://eve-survival.org/wikka.php?wakka=MissionReportsEpicArc

They're harder than normal missions, and you can stay entirely in highsec, with the exception of the caldari one which requires a trip to low or null.

You can do each arc once every three months, so it's not something that you can do continuously.

Other than that, if you want higher-end highsec content, look into incursions. It's not something you could do with just the two of you, but you could do it together.

Tried to do incursions, but it seems like you have to know the right people to be able to get in on one.


I just feel what the game is lacking is content that allows a two player group to go out and do something together.



Missions get repetitive and as your skills increase to easy.
Incursions require a large group.
Complexes can take rather a long time to scan down and often have little or no reward, and you really don't need a friend to help.
The escalation missions were interesting, but they come along so seldom they are not the kind of thing you can just call up your friend and go do one.
PvP although somewhat interesting, is not really my thing.
I asked around about faction war but no one seems to do much with it, or understand the point of it.
I did the epic arc thing a while back and it was long and slow, and the reward at the end was rather a joke. IMHO


Please don't feel I am bashing EVE. I just wish there was more two player content. Something that I can call over my friend's house and say "hay, lets hop on EVE and do .... .... for an hour." And feel like we accomplished something.

That's not true at all, there are plenty of public incursion fleets.

Complexes are easy enough to scan down, finding them in high sec where 90% of the population live is a bit harder though.

Plenty of people do faction warfare, but as it's pvp related you probably wouldn't care much for it.

Level 4 epic arcs have quite a few hundred million isk rewards as well as storyline modules worth several hundreds of millions of isk.

Honestly it just seems you've done no tangible research on the matter.

My final tip to you is: get out of highsec, you're playing 2% of the game there.

What about doing lv4 using destroyers? Should add a bit of challenge...

I looked into WH and have stuck my nose into a few just to look around, but how are me, and my buddy, supposed to log on with only an hour or two to play, scan down all the WH we need, dodge PvP'ers and still have time to do a site?

The more I think about it, the more what Tsukino Stareine said sticks in my mind, If 90% of the people live in high sec, and do not want to bother with PvP, why does CCP spend so much time (or so it seems) developing PvP content?

Just an observation, but before I went on break for the last six months, the server population when I logged on was often 50-60 thousand, now days it is barley 20 thousand...

I can't help but wonder if the lack of high-sec content has something to do with that.

'Lack' is likely to strong a word, but in the context of looking for something my buddy and myself can do in an hour, and feel like we accomplished something it is fairly accurate.

If your in null already just run some 10/10s.

The Maze should keep you occupied.

burner mission it's Frigate only missions u get randomly from L4 agents. iirc.

they are called players and are in abundance, thats what you need to go after for a challenge in eve
