Greetings After about 5-6 months I decided to do a LvL 4 Worlds Collide again in my Mission Dominix (Full TII+TII Drones): After forgetting that I had active Hardeners and thinking damn the rats are harder and then losing drones to aggro because it seems that the npc switch targets more often I LOST the whole ****ing ship because I was scrambled and my T II drones were incapable of killing the scrambler...
With shaking hands I warped the pod back to station. I then switched the PC of via main-socketswitch I twice refrained myself in the last second from smashing my fist into the monitor and then hurling the (cordless) mouse across the room into the wall. Then my gf phoned I decided better not take the call in my current state.. I had a smoke outside thinking I would delete the char and then slowly calmed down a little....
So and now new players especially pay attention:
I lost about 200 mio worth isk because of my own stupidity.
1.I didnt pay attention that the mission might have changed since beginning of the year. 2.I totally underestimated the mission because I had allready done it about 50-60 times. 3. I tried to rush the mission because downtime was near. 4. I VERY nearly destroyed hardware which would have cost LOTS of real money...
So now I do what I do and did the last nearly 4 years in Eve: I learn and adapt
Welcome to Eve
Greetings Belmarduk

You're forgetting the most important part; what rats?
Had "own stupidity" cost me a good abaddon myself.
At first it felt like "bah", then it turned to "meh", then i jumped in my absolution and felt "aaaah..."

I myself never insure them. It's the same thing over and over, the moment the insurance times out, I lose the boat.

I never insure ships - from principle. Really expensive stuff is not worth insuring anyway. Call me stuborn or oldschool, but thats how it is
I didnt bm wreck because it was 2 min before dt and I was so ****ed off I didnt care.
With pvp ships I allways expect the worst so I dont get more than mildly annoyed exept if i made a stupid mistake.(Last fleetbattle I was surprised I managed to get my ship out in one piece after becoming target and was happy to get to a POS in structure )

i once lost around 300 millions in faction mods + a somewhat fitted megathron because i tought to be clever than some gate campers in 0.0 and capable to outrun them (yes with a mega)
so i lost all the isk get a new ship and keep fliying , that¦s what makes eve so great no matter how much you can lose, if everytime you raise stronger -------------------------------------- You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with 'til you understand who's in ruttin' command here. |

Seriously? You sound wound a bit tight, brother.
I think you need to lose a few ships on purpose. Should throw together a couple cheap BCs and go on an anti-pirate tear (or similar) with the attitude that the ship is dead already and you're just seeing how long you can make it last. It'll be fun, theraputic, and a change of pace.

That would probably be in room 2 that it happened. When you warp in you MUST NOT set your drones (read- dominix = wrong ship) to attack anything that first aggros you - just the 3 ships: 1 bs, 2x warp scram frigs. If you put out drones the whole room aggros. That, sir, was your mistake. Drones = no no no no dont do it ima telling you dont do it in room 2.
ps: in case you didnt know, when you fly to the warp gate in room 2 always fly past it to the far side. If you warp on the near side you end up on the wrong side in room 3 where everything can aggro you.

Sounds to me more like anger at ones own stupidity rather than anger at loosing the ship. Ive been there too, loosing a ship to a mission you know, or think you know, so well is fraustrating.
Best of luck recovering from the loss.

I've raged because my own stupidity made me lose stuff as well. This is why EVE is a great game imho, the risk of losing stuff is always there.

I recently lost a zealot that I'd been using in L4 missions. There were 12-13 battleships and after killing 4 of them i got popped. I warped back to station in my pod and got into my retri, killed all the BSes, it took a while but was worth it lol

WC rats have tether issues.
Basicly when they get to a certain point away from their original spawn area, they head back and reset aggro.
This is the only level 4 mission that does this, and as far as I know WC has always done this. So it seems you may have forgotten.
Also, don't fit a plate on a PvE setup. Sustain your tank, dont buffer yourself.
Welcome back.

time to remind yourself, "ITS JUST A GAME".
As long as I can get free Ibis, I don't care what I lose (as long as its not my character / skillpoints).
Go over to SISI and try pvp'ing in FFA1 until you get numb to loss ;0
It really should be where the new players start off while their TQ bodies just do learning skill queue stuff.

I had myself a near miss because of stupidity in The Assault when i triggered the extra spawn with extra scrambles. I got out with about 30% structure left. I also stopped insuring my ships because I just dont seem to loose any and move around a lot. Strange thing is that after I panic while i wait for my Hammerheads to try and take out the frig that is keeping me there I wait for all my drones to return to my dronebay before I warp out..
Just a little question. How did you come to that figure of 200 mil?

If you're in a long range ship just forget about doing them solo. Not only will you meet hordes of scrammer/webber frigates, but they will suddenly appear 20kms away from you, and web and scram you before you know it, somehow eluding your drones. If you aren't almost completely focused on close range combat it's just a matter of time until you have a mission where they all pile up on you while you travel at 20m/s.
As long as you're in something that can do great close range damage, and tank, of course, there really isn't anything else you need. Why use all kinds of tricks to fly something else?
