Dave stark Martyr's Vengence Test Alliance Please Ignore 154	Posted - 2012.07.12 09:55:00 - [31] - Quote Tor Gungnir wrote: Dave stark wrote: Tor Gungnir wrote: I tried the PvP life.

Dear God, my implants... if the loss of a t1 frig sets you back too far, i feel bad for you. I'm not really trained for Frigates. It is all Battlecruisers and up. Anyhow, even if I were to fly Frigates it would still leave my Pod at risk and as such my Implants. you can get a racial frigate to IV in what, 2 maybe 3 days?

Tor Gungnir Agenda Industries 292	Posted - 2012.07.12 10:00:00 - [34] - Quote I like how you just ignore the second part of my reason. But I don't expect you to get it, you're in TEST. You probably get implants and stuff delivered on a silver platter. Anyway, I'm not here to take crap from you. The OP asked for my reason, I gave it. Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you.

T2 guns require smaller T2 skills, all core skills are applicable to all ships, etc. 2) Don't PvP in a clone that has implants. Only the rich and stupid do so. TEST Alliance BEST Alliance

The OP asked for my reason, I gave it. i didn't ignore it, i just chose not to comment on it. there's a difference. implants is a reason why i don't pvp as much as i should (mainly for inconvenience than cost). then again, you probably don't understand that just because i'm in test doesn't mean i get free ships thrown at me. i've never had a single ship reimbursed in nullsec regardless of what corp or alliance i've been in. not a single time.

In about a year and a half in TEST, I've had 2 ships reimbursed. It's pretty hard to lose a ship in fleet warfare when you tend to be on the winning side, know when to broadcast for reps, and know when to align out away from the fleet. Also, AFAIK, only Goonswarm reimburses solo PvP losses. TEST Alliance BEST Alliance
Jax Bederen Republic Military School Minmatar Republic 101	Posted - 2012.07.12 10:12:00 - [39] - Quote I started playing thinking I would play this game for pvp, thought it seems the sheer amount of other things to do have kept me subbed. From what I've seen I'm not interested in blob fests at all, did that in other games and it bored me the same. The type of personal pvp I prefer seems rare and one spends more time looking for it then actually doing it. As they say in this game if it's fair, your doing it wrong. Though I cant see taking pride in a win when you simply overwhelm the opposing player/team number wise. So mix this with the cost and it just doesn't peek my interest much.

Large scale alliances and small scale pvp arent mutually exclusive. At the moment in delve ive taken part in more small scale stuff than i ever have.
Mara Rinn Cosmic Industrial Complex Cosmic Consortium 1615	Posted - 2012.07.12 10:24:00 - [41] - Quote What keeps me from PvPing: "Afraid to lose my stuff" (rather, I don't have the budget to replace stuff I will lose) Variable play time. Just because I'm logged in doesn't mean I'm sitting in front of the computer paying attention to the game I really don't like the idea of logging in because someone told me to, or expects me to, or because I have some kind of quota of kills to achieve each week in order to have access to the space I'm living in Most people don't like fleet members who go AFK two or three times during a one-hour roam One day I won't have a job. Then I'll be able to focus on the game long enough to get into some serious PvP (oh, there's also the PvP that happens to me, such as suicide gankers failing to blow up my astrometrics frigate while I'm on autopilot with 20M ISK worth of probes in my cargo bay. Whoops) Day 0 advice for new players: Day 0 Advice for New Players
Shameless Avenger Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 190	Posted - 2012.07.12 10:25:00 - [42] - Quote Marconus Orion wrote: ...PvP... ...barriers?... ...high sec... Well, the barriers are many. For the most people, Kisumii had it right: Kisumii wrote: ...dont understand the mechanics... ...afraid of "doing it wrong"... And some might say, that's easy to fix. RTFM, learn, keep trying, read, etc. But sometimes people don't have the time for that. People have jobs, some go to school, some have families and some play other games. So I'm gonna add a barrier here: * The Time Barrier: No time to learn how to PVP.

I am very curious as to what barriers, if any, keep you from PvPing? Granted there are some players who live in unknown space, low sec and null sec who still avoid PvP, the question is more directed at high sec players. I just don't think pvp in eve is fun, the time it takes to find a somewhat even fight in eve while not getting blown up by gate campers, makes pvp in eve seem like 95% preparing to have fun and 5% having fun. It has nothing to do with loosing ship, sometimes me and a couple of friends decide to go to low-sec and get blown up, and loosing 2-3 ensured battlecruisers is no big deal. I think eve is the only mmo i have played where i did not primary pvp, but then again eve is also the only game i have tried where is is actually fun to be a businessman :)

Is not just login time Akirei. EvEmon time, Forum Time, evefit time, dotland time, singularity time, etc. You can't just login, strap whatever modules you have in hangar and go fight. You need to do your homework. And that takes more time than a casual player has.

It's a bit weird, instead of using your best "gear" you have to go for cookie cutter fits and leave the pride of your earnings demoted to pve duty.

Can't really PvP much when all you have is 15-20 minutes now and then followed by hours of not being able to pay any attention to the game even if still logged in. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/User:Akita_T http://eve-search.com/stats/Akita_T T2 BPO poll : https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=114789

What's the worst that can happen? I'm in a merlin you silly carebear." And the when the carebear bites the bait: Option one: Remote repair alt starts repairing merlin. Option two: Merlin pilot warps out, changes into hurricane. It is not as easy as undock and start shooting. Don't be silly. You have to do your homework.
