EVE New Citizens Q&A

when you get to a stage where you are complaining that there is not enough content and trying to pull activities from other space is an indication you have outlived highsec

I'm not complaining as such, it's a discussion not a complaint. Discussions would be boring if everyone just agreed all the time.

The only real complaint would be the attribute system. Low-sec and null wouldn't help on that one.


Still loaded GW2 up again Friday night so got a few things to do there whilst I'm in training here. Before you say it I'm not complaining it was my choice. Got a few things I don't mind finishing off in GW2 anyway, so it's all good.

Ah, ok

But even those discussions can be useful sometimes. Just because it gets mentioned in the forums doesn't mean it will alter the game. Even a complaint doesn't have to be negative, although if it's made in such a way that it's not really open to discussion then it is.

Don't know if you agree with that, but it's time for me to log. There's a drink in one of these establishment around here with my name on it.

You are disagreeing with what? Watch some dev videos read some old dev blogs and watch some old fanfest videos. You will see the devs say again and again that they design the game intentionally to push people out of high sec and into riskier areas of space.

You can disagree if you like but you've got nothing to back it up.

Again I will repeat post #115. In Eve you are supposed to have to make decisions that carry consequences and deal with the results of that.

If you are not happy with having making tough decisions and compromises then you won't be happy with this game.

The min/max, "must be level capped fully decked out in best in slot gear", can't play the game until my stats are perfect mentality has no place in this game. That mindset is from other MMOs that have different mechanics and different game designs and different intentions and they are not Eve.

You are not playing Eve. You are in Eve playing WoW or GW2 or FFXIV or any number of other MMOs that are all pretty much the same as each other but none of them resemble this game and none of their base concept translates over to this game.

If you try and play eve as if it were like those other games you are not going to have a good time here and don't blame Eve for that since you never really gave the game a shot. You are trying to play Eve as if it were those other games and when you find out it's not instead of learning the game and adapting to the mechanics you come to the forums to complain how it's different.

FIFY

Why would you keep playing if you weren't enjoying it? EVE isn't for everyone, CCP has acknowledged this.

You are dead wrong. There are a million examples of successful newbros PVPing with low SP. If you can't figure out how to play without max skills then the skills are not the problem - you are.

*cough*<------ishkur pilot had 6(ish) million skillpoints to his name at this point verses Est. skill points 52 million and three years of gamplay experiance

patience ,willingness to accept guidance , and big mother****ing balls are all you need to pull something like that off

It's nice to see the discussion is still going, though where it's going? Not sure. I'm still playing the game. I've tried joining a few corps. No luck there yet on one that fits my needs. Mining still appeals to me as a way of making ISK so Industry V just has one day left on the timer. Then I'll have a couple other skills i'll need to get to IV to be able to hop in the Procurer.
My current fun in the game has been looting battle wrecks in low sec and null sec for sexy T2 modules worth a ton of ISK(to me as a newb anyway). I've found the threat of getting killed while I try to get to the best wrecks pretty exciting. I've had some good fun evading the dudes that try to kill me (so far so good thank you Warp Stabs) and it's pretty satisfying getting in and out of an area intact and with a cargo bay full of loots. I've been fired on like four times and was able to get away each time though one guy got me down to like 20% hull in what seemed like a single volley before i got out of there.
I bought a T1 Freighter to haul all my crap around and once I got about 100 mill worth of stuff together I decided to make the trip to Jita to see what it would be like and with the hope of selling everything quickly. Again, i found the possibility of danger pretty exciting and wasn't sure if any Jita Gankers would make a go for my ship. I had read that you need to have a cargo hold worth of a least a billion ISK for them to go for ya, not sure if that's the case or not. I made it in and out of Jita without a hitch. Sold everything I brought and with a decent amount of change in the bank, thought ok, I can fly the Vexor now if I feel like it.
As I was heading home from Jita in the freighter, I came across a T2 or T3 Cruiser wreck just sitting their with no one around. I moseyed on over to it at a whopping 150 m/s lol and boom: cha ching! 344 million ISK worth of modules. Awesome. I wasn't about to warp back to Jita with the yellow suspect time going so i docked a jump away and waited it out. Once the timer was clear, nervously jumped back into Jita and docked again with no problem, though as I was docking, a freighter next to me exploded. Eek! Better him than me, I thought. Came away with another 340 million or so. Easy money.
I do still want to get into traditional ship combat PvP and plan on training up my T1 frigate skills I need once the mining stuff is done I've also considered doing my battle wreck looting in my Vexor so if any one does come after me, instead of running I would put up a fight as it's usually just one or two ships that come after me, but I'm not so sure if that's a profitable way to go. But could be fun! As it is now, I'm using a cheaply fitted Imicus for it and it's been working well as it has a decent cargo hold and is small and fast enough and if anyone did catch me slippin', meh. Less than a mill to replace and back at it.
