What now man??? I did those horribly uninformative training missions...what now? Those things cover like, 2% of the info you need in EvE.

For starters are there any OTHER large scale training corps like EvE University? Respect to what they do but the application process to my real life university was quicker and simpler.

Is there a streamlined, one stop shop site to go to to learn the game? Damage types, ships, glossary of terms, etc??? Seems like there are like 5,000 diff resources and many of them conflict. It shouldn't feel like I'm studying for the friggin LSAT while trying to learn a video game....this ridiculous. I don't mind taking time to learn but holy crap.

(Fully expect SOME exp players to flame for this. I'm used to it. People get exp then act like they've forgotten how it is to be new and get some sort of ego boost from trashing new players. I deal with losers like this IRL all of the time, so it's no big deal).

So yeah...I'm basically just trying to streamline this whole learning process. What are some good Corps to join to learn? Good places to go to learn the VERY basics of the game.

I also notice that this game, unfortunately like many MMOs is very exclusive. The exp players have all of the money, items, influence and pretty much make it impossible for newer players to get in and learn through them. So we pretty much have to figure it out. My SP aren't even in the 7 digits yet....some corps are asking for 50 million SP minimums??? How high does it go?

You basically can't join a decent corp until you have that much SP??? So I basically have to play by myself until then? If so then this'll just be a little side hobby until something else comes out. A friend of mine referred me to this game, but he stopped playing. Not going to pay just to log in, put some skills in queue then log off, which is basically all I do now., and have been doing for the last 2 weeks. If this is how it is up until the millions point in SP then...yeah....not for me.

You are supposed to make an attempt to go into lowsec and die in a gate camp so those that make this the niche game that it is can relish in your tears.

But asking first, it appears, may have thwarted the plan.


Good luck.

See this is what I'm talking about. Right here.

"YEAH, I'M BIG BAD EVE PLAYER, AND I CRUSH U NOOBS. YOU WONT LAST LONG HERE. GRRRRRR"


You're probably some 120 pound ginger with freckles dude, f**k out of here with that elitist, tough guy crap dude.

All I'm asking for is information. If that makes me "weak" then so be it, but please can the tough guy **** man you're not fooling anyone. I bet if we go back, we'd find out you got helped when you started out. No idea why punk asses like you go around acting like you were flying titans after 5 days of play when you started.

Where in my post did I ask for instant satisfaction?

"Weed out"???

Feel like one of the "Cool Kids" now huh?

"Take THAT you jocks and cheerleaders from High School!!!"


Have sex dude.

Why in God's name would someone WANT people to be excluded in an MMORPG??? Wouldn't you WANT new players to be able to learn more efficiently (which is all I asked for)?

If not for us, who are you going to shoot at? Sell to? Pirate? (I'm seeing countless threads of exp folks complaining about how empty nullsec is). Don't you want to ATTRACT more people??? I just don't get this "I only want 10-20 special snowflakes like me to play this game" mentality.

Eve is a very different game. The people who play on a reg basis feels like it makes them special and as such having more people play and enjoy the game makes them less special. Playing this game is not that great of an achievement and ur probably not going to play very long anyway. Save ur money and bail while u can. Good Luck

The way you speak looks like you think about yourself as a special flake.
You are not. Don't like it? GTFO.

EVE's devs, on the other hand, seem to be of the opinion that if something is fabulously complicated and byzantine, why then it must be good.

Ah reminds me of the EVE 101 ops that are run for newbies every now and then.

How to align, how to warp, how to warp at range, make sure not to burn straight at the enemy, point before you web, and so on and so forth. Also, how to not bump the titan.

FTFY

Well, don't do lasers they suck.

How about, you are in your noobship and you are sent to fight a THRASHER and they tell you the ship is NOT as good as yours?

What kind of training mission is that?

[quote=Gorgeous Dre]Well, don't do lasers they suck.

im also new to the game
was daunting at first but after 2 weeks i new what i wanted and how to get it as for effective pvp
alone u will die like swtor did hard and fast i just don't get your attitude to the game info is every where there is no gear set like wow this is a sandbox different setups for different stuff u have the power here not some lamo instance that drops gear eve is for mature players the end game is to create waves in war or play the market and make millions what u do here is up to u as for the 50 million sp find another corp and be careful some will stick u in a ship stick u on guard duty and watch u die over and over again if u arent hard core go else where eve wont be for u if u cant handle failure and loss of ships dont play eve
if u cant survive buy your own will and stubbornness eve ain't for u


i play eve cos its a manssssssssss /womanssssssssssss game its hard and pounds u like a rock but once u crack that rock the diamonds are revealed and the power starts to flow eve is what u make it not what a dev makes it eve is your game not the devs that u follow


eve rules cos its hard if it wasn't i wouldn't be here and neither would most of the players

It's an NPC controlled ship so what they're telling you is very accurate.
