I wish that I had used some of the great information sources available from the start, I knew nothing about fitting a ship correctly (and some would say I still don't), and have had to learn the painful way, oh how much easier my first six months would have been if I had just typed 'EVE' into a search engine and ran down the list of results.
The Pro Synergy Pilot is not just a fighting man, he is a salvage expert.-áIf it is lost, in the blackness of space, he will find it. If it has been destroyed, he will loot and salvage it. If it is in his way, he will move it. If he is lucky he will be podded 20 jumps from home, for this is the closest he come to being hero.

That level 5 skills are not that important and that bigger does not equal better.
I came here from WoW and I have noticed a lot of other players suffering from a WoW mindset that I had difficulty getting over. I wanted to max out my skills as fast as possible and get into "the best ship" as quickly as possible. Coming from WoW where there is a level cap and most certainly a BiS ( best in slot) for every class in game it was hard to get used to the fact that you can train for 20 years and still have skills to train in this game. My first toon I focused on max skill points and literally that toon was 3 years old with an ass ton of skill points and totally useless where as I started an alt shortly after and the alt quickly became my main as I was able to train what I needed and not what I was ideally remapped for. Also lots of newbs myself included try to get into a BS as quickly as possible but that's already been mentioned here
Another thing that I see a lot of newbs do is they come to the game party because they hear that you can pay for game time with in game money and then set out to do that from the get go and the game quickly becomes a job as they spend all their time earning isk to pay for the game. I will tell you now to have enough free isk to be able to do that you will most likely have to be playing the game for at least a year to do that and not spend all your time in game earning isk. It is most certainly possible to do it from day 1 especially making isk on the market but you'd almost have to be a vet on a day old toon to do that. Any way my point is play the game to have fun and plan on paying the monthly fee and when you find yourself having more isk than you know what to do with then buy PLEXs.
Other newb common missed tid bits:
Faction specific resists are a huge deal for PvE know who you are going up against and what kind of damage they do.
The best defense is a good offense. I focused on getting really good tank skills early on not realizing that when stuff dies fast you don't need tank nearly as much. I guess the old saying " an Ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is very fitting here. |

I wish I had known that most everyone is out to get you and steal and cheat you out of your money the first chance they get. I wish I had known that CPP has no rules about cheating an unsuspecting noob out of millions of isk
And to echo others that I have read. I wish I was informed better outside of going through course after course in eve uni for hours to learn how to fly and fit and what factions used what damage and when to buffer when to active tank and how things like tracking and signature size and traversal velocity played into hitting another ship as well as a bit of just basic weapons training as in this is a missile it always hits if in range just depends how hard this is a rail gun it is good at long range and cant hit crap up close and this is a blaster and it owns everything up close and these are the laser and projectile similar and the distinct advantages of each type of system. |

i wished someone in the incursion communites i fly with, for over 1 year, would have told me "Yes Dimitrios, thats correct, you dont need to skill Repair Drones, buy them, haul them around...to only have them flying around your own ship...BECAUSE YOU CANT REPAIR YOUR OWN SHIP WITH THEM" :D
I wished someone would have told me...
"Nice Try Dimitrios, BUT YOU CANT BUY A RETRIEVER AND TRY TO PUT THAT 20mil ISK ORE IN THE ORE BAY OUT OF A CARGO CONTAINER THAT BELONGED TO A SHINY FACTION NPC HAULER RAT YOU KILLED"
That happend 2 Weeks ago, and i play for nearly 2 Years :D
I wished somebody would have told me, that i can change the prize of my SellOrders with using the Mousewheel, instead of typing it, even for only 0,01 isk.
Why ? Well, loosing 900mil+ because instead of typing 1.234.233.333 i type 123423333 (the last Number got lost because of no Coffee and just woke up - Circumstances).
And it was all only because of 0,01isk to undercut that other KRONOS available on the Market. I had more Tears after i found out the MouseWheel Option rather i had with loosing so much isk :) Sooo f***** tripple facepalm :)
At least i made someone happy out there ! :D Kronos for 123mil isk (Buy Orders were at 750m but when you type a lower prize, it gets sold for that ....arghhhh hate you EVE ONLINE....and <3 you at the same time !!

I don't know if any of this is posted before but I wish I had known these facts (trying to remember my first days...)
- I evemailed (in-game e-mail) a pirate who stole my jetcan asking "why did you do that?" then he replied to me "take a coke, sit back and relax, this is the way it works". Then I learned not to do jet-can stuff without proper security.
- Tractor beam. I learned that there is a tractor beam on my 6th month. Before that, I was going salvage by salvage with my cyclone battlecruiser (projectiles weapon back then) with a single salvager I and without any propulsion mod. I did this until I realized that it takes too long and nobody was complaining about this situation on the forums, so there must be a module for it ^_^
- When new, do not use smartbombs in hi-sec during missioning. I lost two ships (one being a maelstrom battleship).
- If you are a new player and starting to pvp first, be careful when using utility ships that has both support and ewar modules. I learned it with the hard way by mistakenly target-painted a fleet member instead of remote sensor boosting it. Well... In the low-sec near the gate. Gate guns will give your frigates a lot of love.
- I wish I had known that players are very helpful (well I was scared of them because of the first incident I had).
- I wish I had taken a basic pvp knowledge from the start. I leaned it through the hard way by being caught by a drag bubble in null sec.
_Half _the lies they tell about me **aren't **true.

Space is cold and dark and deep. The more research a player does to improves the environment they are in, the more rewarding the game will be for the player, and hence the more protective of that space, the player is in.
A player will be more loyal to a corporation that contributes to comfort and security, because the corporation provides the environment a player needs to be comfortable. Highsec POS's without needing the standings to set up POS's will improve this, for those that are prepared. However this means more war decs which people try to avoid like the plague - tactics lead people to run away from war decs, corporations, and run to NPC corps, instead of improving an environment the corp relies on.
If CCP could do a trailer that points out the pros/cons of being in a corp or living like a pirate, it would be a video directing new players in a direction for them to move in, themselves, therefore providing new content.
As more experienced players know, new players can do just as much as older players, and do that better in some cases.

I wish I knew far far earlier than I did that dscan was camera dependent and not ship orientation. I was so confused how people could scan things down in a direction so quickly I thought they were specifically fit just to use the dscan window.
It's not.
Also but this has been addressed in the tutorials - that you can't find skill level 2 on the market; two days to figure that out, two days on the original trial character, darn it.
How to play Eve by understand what Eve is, always interact with people to make the game more enjoyable, be it forums, local, private channels, voip software. Ask questions, take an interest, follow advice and learn from it, even if it turns out to be out of date advice.
Ship spinning is only enjoyable if you're too tired or drunk to undock.
Its time to stand up against the bad empire based CEO telling falsehoods about what new characters can accomplish and pushing them towards an in game experience of drudgery and loneliness keeping them in the shadow of ignorance for at nest their own profit at worse apathy towards all the experiences that Eve has to offer.

I wish I had understood that CCP have a business model that is constrained by incredibly complex variables that include contradictory psychological impertatives.
For example, Eve would be no fun if it were not a sandbox that allowed degenrate behaviour. Eve is dangerous, insofar as having pixels blow up on your screen is dangerous.
There is no end to the degeneracy, and that is what makes the game so incredble. Much of the challenge is getting beyond the widespread degeneracy, allowing yourself to enjoy the good parts of the game, as you find them. And there are a lot of really good times to be had, if you are determined to find them.
My advice to new players is to understand that Eve is complex, and that it needs both the light and the dark to reach such levels of complexity.
Eve will not protect you, but it will not constrain you, either. It will not stop other people trying tocause you suffering, but it also facilitates great new friendships, and gives people from all over the world the chance to generate their own, custom designed communities.
Eve is the opposite of the nanny state. If you are sensitive, do not play this game. If you like freedom and meeting new people, and you can handle ultra losers who get off on causing suffering, Eve is an incredible social platform. |

Stupid things I did
- after the tutorial, for some reason, the only missions I could find were Mordu's Legion missions in low sec. I found the environment, hmmmm, slightly challenging with a cormorant.
- not bookmarking wormhole exits (and actually not bookmarking anything for a while)
- attacking sleepers drones with a heron - hey, they were only drones, right?
- investigating blue bubbles because they looked nice
Things I learned a bit late and should have learned earlier
- that 100% of the interaction you did not initiate will end up badly for you.
- that you could refit in space with a mobile depot.
- that LP store could help profits nicely.
- that I could be scanned very very quickly, and that invisibility really did work.
- that you should not do risky things with 50% of your assets in implants
- that some signatures were too hard to scan for certain skill levels
- that a bit of googling would give detailed info on almost everything
Still learning every day...

What Confused me the most was following.
1st I cannot be in a player corp unless its HUGE couse WARDECS destroys smaller corps in matter of days. Joined a corp of friends 8 days later disbanded due to wardecs by largers corps.
2nd I wish i had know u cannot fly good ships due to ganks in highsec and also that Gankers can kill any ship with a single Catalyst no matter how good gear u got was sad to hear couse here i thought 50 mill ship should hold up to at least 20 ships costing 1 mill each.
3rd Wish i had known about Standings with factions. Doing 1 mission for 1 ruins ur relation with the other wich makes it impossible to do missions.
4th Wish i had know that Missions cost you more than u gain couse you lose part of the galaxy you can enter due to doing them.
thats really all i wanted to know before i started so ihad little more chance out in the space.

I wished there was a sort of EFT tool integrated. I fitted ships directly from the market and lost some isk while buying things I couldn't fit (cpu problem) etc It was a while when I read about such 3rd party programs.
I see that alot of people didn't find the tutorial good. Well, that's just what is amazing about this game. You get a basic training about mining and etc, and then you are left alone. That's just the point so there is a steep learning curve and you must use your brain. And it makes indirect a very good community because there are hundred sites where they explain things and also help each other ingame and where people understand that you can **** things up. When you raid in a regular mmo everybody expect you are a good healer or tank with exotic gear and if not, you get kicked out of the group because nobody wants to waste its time to give advise to you. |

I wish I'd known about organised NPSI fleet groups like SpectreFleet, Redemption Road or RvB Ganked a lot sooner. As it is, I only learned of these things after I'd started doing some scribblings for TMC and the wonderful folk in the editorial chat hooked me up, which is hardly the regular route EVE newbies take.
I wish that instead of a GM contacting me asking "how can I help", I wish they'd contact me saying something useful, like: "There's an open roam fleet forming in X-YZA system, if you're interested in checking it out, I can auto-teleport you there and hook you up with a one-time-only free frigate you can fly".
This would have introduced me to the joys of fleets much sooner. This would have given me the opportunity to make new friends much faster and get out of an NPC corp.
Just a thought.

If you're still having this problem, don't do missions against empire factions. You can gain faction with minnie without damaging your amarr standings. Do missions against angel, serpentis, blood raider, etc. you're status will go down with them, but its not going to effect your interactions in null so much. |

That you donGÇÖt have to do what others do.
The sandbox as they say in a way is true and your game in eve with the character you make is just that. ItGÇÖs your game. You do what makes you happy. If you do that then you will last long in EVE.
Big battles in Null or piracy or mining. ItGÇÖs your choice and if all you want to do is make stuff and sell it then heck just go do that. Anybody that knocks you for doing it is an idiot.
They have chosen their game and you need to choose your game before you even create the toon.
Read up about the profession and what skills and ships are needed. Find a corp that seems like they do what you want to do and will help you grow in that profession or help you when you brand new player.
Now create a character just for that purpose. Stick to your plan. Stick to your goal.
People will want to derail you. You want to make stuff and they want to shoot stuff and this means you might have to train pvp skills but it means stopping skills you want to get and training skills you donGÇÖt. If you donGÇÖt want to do pvp you should not feel like you need to.
Finding the right corp early is key and even finding the right corp before you create the toon is better.
DonGÇÖt rely on others info to the letter. Do your own research and then come with questions that make sense. They will respect you more as a new player and a person.
Trust only yourself. You are the only person in this game looking out for you. Every other person will be friendly but if they see a opportunity to make isk out of you they will.
When you jump into a trade hub: Jita, Amarr, Dodixie, Rens and Hek. Close your local chat. DonGÇÖt accept any invites from people when in there and if it looks too good to be true it is a scam.

The facts are that Eve is not difficult to play nor is the setting or the players harsh. It is a PVP arena first and foremost ... and the space sci fi strategy sim aspect of it is just for flavour. It's all PVP, everyone pvp's as soon as they enter the game .. each load of ore a miner safely brings in is an act of pvp that states ' I just out PVPed the whole pvp community by bringing this in '. If someone says anything moronic to you like 'you've got to be in this for the long haul', they are actually pvping you. I wish someone had warned me not to ask veteran players questions and not to take any negative crap I heard on vids to be gospel. Everyone in this game has a gripe about something and if you listen to such crap too much you can develop a completely faulty view of the game before you've even started. The game is not harsh and neither are the players . If you ask someone a question and they say something like 'oh if you don't understand that maybe this game isn't for you'. What this statement actually means is 1 "I can't be assed talking to you right now ...please fek off" or 2 "I don't know the answer to that and can't be assed thinking about it ...please fek off" or 3 they are unwittingly or deliberately PVPing you ... somewhere in the back of their head is them thinking 'this guy is asking questions- knowledge equals power in the game- power equals possible threat- terminate with extreme prejudice" .. basically they are trying to get you out of the game before you can be a threat, sometimes they actually convince themselves they are helping you.
Another simple thing that would've made a huge difference to me as a noob, would've been anyone saying 'dude if it's frying your melon take a break you're trying too hard'. I admittedly learnt how to play this game the wrong way. It's a common noob mistake to try and master the game literally overnight. You could say it's the fault of the game as its so damn good you just want to rush out there and conquer the universe.
And finally I hated the delays in skill learning in the tutorials, doesn't bother most folk but bugged the hell out of me.

I think finding a good corp is by far the biggest difference between players who stay and players who leave. My first few corps helped me stay interested in the game.
I have read anecdotal evidence of a lot of vets/more experienced players trying to recruit newbies to mine and run missions for them, and then take their ISK in the form of taxes and buying ore at significantly sub-Jita prices. If this is the case, it seems really bad in the long run for player retention and CCP should take steps to discourage newbies from joining player corps. The new corp recruitment board is definitely a step in the right direction, but it can be improved.
It might be helpful to implement some kind of corporation review/reputation system. Options Include: - When you leave a corp you can give them 1-5 stars on a series of metrics. - Having EVE automatically parse killboards to see if that "PVP Corp" is really a pvp corp or hasn't gotten a kill since the one industrial they ganked a month ago and has no active wardecs - Having EVE parse activity (m3 mined, Bounties earned, etc) so you can find out what a mining/manufacturing/etc corp really does. - Having a list of "new player recommended" corps, kind of like EVE-UNI which help newer players get into the game. |

I play this game for the strategy and complexity behind it. No one is given a step-by-step guide in real life nor should they have one here. You nailed it with the "Opportunities". The old tutorial was boring and I only did it for the quick starter cash. Please do not dumb down the game to much. |

I'm almost 3 months into this game and has a brand new player, I think the following should be STRONGLY reinforced into any new players mind.
First of all. It has been mentioned over and over BUT, PVP...PVP...PVP... (Player versus Player)... PVP... Players versus Player... Players versus... well, you're on your own at first so... really player(s) versus you! It's unavoidable, it's everywhere, it's gonna frustrate you, it's gonna cost you that hard to get ISK you see disappearing like smoke and it's gonna bugle your mind! Why did he kill me? Why did he killed me so easily? Why could'nt I target him? Where did he came from? Why could'nt I hit him? What was that damn ship? He killed my ship...darn... oh wait... He can also destroy that little pod I'm in.... and He even killed my character! Wow!!!
Now, I'm still here and It's because mostly of an awesome community who answers my questions and don't hesitate to help me if I ask. My solution for this huge blank space in this universe is quite simple.
I wish there was an agent/tutorial/whatever that interface lady names that gives opportunities out, who would of send me to a PVP area! Just a place in the beginner's area where you can go and dish it out with fellow new players. Just a spot with his own channel that's in the newbie area where you can go nuts and try to take out other players just like you. Maybe make it so all faction (minmatar, caldari, amarr, gallente) could appear in that area with their rookie ships and make mayhem happens!
Imagine how fun it would be to just have a rookie ship, a bunch of civilian modules, like too many then what you need. Just to try fittings and equipments. Making you realise what works for the ship and for you. Loosing ship after ship, just going at it. learning how it is to be outnumbered or to start a toon with a friend and see how a fleet and teamwork can change the whole game dynamic. I can easily see an area like that, only available to less than so many skillpoint toons or less than 3 days old or whatever works kinda deal. Players would all be able to chat in that area and the opportunity thingy or whatever should mention that you CAN speak with someone that just killed you and tell him GF or that you want a rematch. Reinforcing the good vibe that this game has.
And like everyone else... D-SCAN... I was reading through this post and realised that the D-Scan work with your camera and not the ship directions... if it's true... gotta try it now to see if I'll be able to find someone on that damn thing. I feel like D-Scan is shouting my name in a warning when I get into Low-Sec for crying out loud and I can't seam to find a damn ship 1 AU from me! D-Scan people.... D-Scan! |

Why did he killed me so easily? Why could'nt I target him? Where did he came from? Why could'nt I hit him? What was that damn ship? He killed my ship...darn... oh wait... He can also destroy that little pod I'm in.... and He even killed my character! Wow!!!
Now, I'm still here and It's because mostly of an awesome community who answers my questions and don't hesitate to help me if I ask. My solution for this huge blank space in this universe is quite simple.
I wish there was an agent/tutorial/whatever that interface lady names that gives opportunities out, who would of send me to a PVP area! Just a place in the beginner's area where you can go and dish it out with fellow new players. Just a spot with his own channel that's in the newbie area where you can go nuts and try to take out other players just like you. Maybe make it so all faction (minmatar, caldari, amarr, gallente) could appear in that area with their rookie ships and make mayhem happens!
Imagine how fun it would be to just have a rookie ship, a bunch of civilian modules, like too many then what you need. Just to try fittings and equipments. Making you realise what works for the ship and for you. Loosing ship after ship, just going at it. learning how it is to be outnumbered or to start a toon with a friend and see how a fleet and teamwork can change the whole game dynamic. I can easily see an area like that, only available to less than so many skillpoint toons or less than 3 days old or whatever works kinda deal. Players would all be able to chat in that area and the opportunity thingy or whatever should mention that you CAN speak with someone that just killed you and tell him GF or that you want a rematch. Reinforcing the good vibe that this game has.
And like everyone else... D-SCAN... I was reading through this post and realised that the D-Scan work with your camera and not the ship directions... if it's true... gotta try it now to see if I'll be able to find someone on that damn thing. I feel like D-Scan is shouting my name in a warning when I get into Low-Sec for crying out loud and I can't seam to find a damn ship 1 AU from me! D-Scan people.... D-Scan!
A place that you can reach with a wormhole (the arena for noobs), and you can just leave by dying, does that sounds like a plan? ;)... its a good learning school. And very EVE like, since you enter till death.

I wish I had known how horrible the players in this game are. In real life they may be fine individuals. But in the eve world they are all scum. The only exception to this would be the players that hang out in the HELP chan. It's obvious to me that by far and away the majority of Eve players had their lunch money taken by bullies in school got beat up and are now over compensating. My player warning list (bad players) is over a hundred players long. My Good Rep list is like 10)
There should be a warning label on this game that says:
Warning: Eve online is a pvp game filled with @sshole space pirates. By purchasing this subscription you consent to be killed at any time & any where for no reason at all other than you exist. Eve is a cancer on the internet and it's player base is the absolute lowest common denominator of humanity that exists to feed it's own ego while swimming in the shallow end of it's own gene pool.By purchasing this subscription you consent to abandoning all resemblances of morality, dignity or common human decency. The common reply of "Your tears taste delicious" is proof in point that eve players all trash.
HAD I known what eve truly was I'd have kept my credit card in my D@mn wallet. Eve misrepresents it's self as a game that anyone can play. That has playing opportunities other than space combat. Yeah try that and see wtf happens.
I've been playing eve since November. The only reason I'm still here is because I've put too much real world money ($400.00 USD) into this game to simply just walk away. I had to literally stop playing for over 2 months to get this one group of players to stop harassing me. That lasted about 2 weeks after I came back. Now they are at it again. CCP will do nothing. Players can do the worst things they can do to you in game and CCP will do next to nothing. Use profanity in game chat and a GM will email you with in five minutes. File a support ticket....expect an answer 2 weeks latter.
I don't play eve for combat. I expected some pvp combat. But not so much that you can hardly leave your home station with out being blown up. (and I'm in a + 0.06 system) My 1st day in eve I was podded in a 1.0 system in a rookie ship. And was just going from my school system to the system next door. This game sucks. I started eve to haul freight and mine. With that there was a certain expectation of pvp interaction. While there is pve content everywhere....the pvp is so overwhelming no one can enjoy the other content. Mine in low or null sec...you get ganked by pirates, try to stay in high sec you get harassed by CODE. There is literally no where in this game that you can enjoy pve and non pvp content with out being harassed by pvp players.
If after today my issues aren't addressed and resolved...I will end my time with Eve as a paying customer. I've been asked by ppl I play with in other game about Eve. All I can tell them is to keep your credit card in your wallet. It's not worth it. The game is unplayable.
THAT"S what I wish I had known before I paid for 3 months up front, and paid for PLEX many times over. |
