Out of Pod Experience

nobody cares about your whining

TL;DR I suck at EVE devs please give me the WoW experience. Next thing you'll say -10's don't deserve to be subbed at all because they're well... -10's.

if you are not willing to learn how to play the game then please,, don't check back in a year or two. please stay away.

Literally complaining that security in low security space is low.

GD never ceases to amaze me.

It is posts like this that makes wanna play again

OP: If you come back and find this game to your liking, it has been ruined.. so pls dont come back!

You have no choice but to risk implants. Why should you get to fly in a full set of pirate implants at no risk? You get the benefit so you have to take the risk you lose them - it's Eve 101. What kind of game do you think this is?

If you don't want to risk them, your only option is to not fly with them.

Op, I guess you've been away for some time as you were caught in a cargo fit mining Navitas. There is a great wee ship called the Venture now which is much more adapted to your needs. They even have brought out a T2 co-ops version. It's a sexy model too. Losing a half bill pod is always going to smart, but the truth is, eventually everyone gets caught by a well organised gatecamp in lowsec. Everyone.

I've been away for a bit myself and come back to find my 50 mill pods are now worth 300+ mill. I decided on Monday to kick my Genolution habit and roll a clean pod. Which was just as well as on Tuesday I got Santo'd Add that guy to your watchlist btw. That was a sebo'd out the ass Sin/Proteus team with a smartbomb finish to catch my pod. Even if I had 2 warp stabs fitted I would have got caught as I suspect there was a 3 point faction scram involved.

That guy put a lot of isk into that camp.

I'm going to give you the obligatory HTFU. Adapt and overcome. The good (possibly bad) news is that lowsec is a much more vibrant place these days. Many more people live there and there is more stuff to do. Even running a hauler through low and not getting caught is a pvp activity.

Oh, yeah, speaking of haulers, they got rebalanced too. Fit a wreathe or sigil (now with agility bonus) with some istabs and the new warp speed rigs and you can be taking 3k m2 of cargo round faster that a frigate.

They still would have got caught by a organised gatecamp or in other words, get ambushed by bandits.

It is all a matter of target audience. Eve used to be targeted to a more general player base. Now it is aiming for the demographic highlighted by the posters in this thread. Players interested in fun games should look elsewhere.

I only had two accounts and unfortunately I resubbed both for one month. Could have gotten several steam games with that money :(

Then don't take yer shiny noggin into combat if you don't know how to get it out mate.

Oh dear, you have been away for a while. Many people would in fact say this game is targeted more for a "general" player base and that as a result, something in eve has died.

Eve stands for 'Everyone Vs Everyone' and for my money it's only exciting because my opponents are other real people with real brains and hearts. This game's made me so mad I'd kick a dog and so overjoyed I'd kiss a bloke. It has high stakes and, importantly, jeopardy.

It's jeopardy that makes this game great, and if you die, there was probably something you could have done to avoid it and it was probably your fault for not spotting the signs.


Still, that said. You're going to get caught by a organised gatecamp eventually. It's a rite of passage.

You should be flattered that they brought so much isk to the table just to catch your wee mining frig.
