DISCLAIMER:
Being new, I've learned, I think, a few things about EVE and GD. In general, before posting *anything*, consider how will the post be interpreted as a
- pro or con minerbummping
- goons are ruining EVE, please get rid of them CCP
- a goon hug-fest
- hi-sec is too safe, nerf it
- hi-sec is too dangerous, fix it
- null is too safe, nerf it
- null is run by one large CCP-backed, in-game mega corp, fix it
- PvP is ONLY ship to ship PvP, deal with it
- PvP is ship PvP, Indy Pvp, Trading PvP, poker PvP, etc... deal with it
- This post is obvious troll about one of the these (^)
- This post is stealth troll about one of the these (^)
- last, but not least, EVE has been dying for 10 years, can I have your stuff
This is post is not one of those, despite how many responses to the contrary that follow. That said....
QUESTION:
As a n00by getting his wings, I have a two accounts with characters I think I want to specialize as 1 - covert-ops to both explore and scout, 2 - logistics ('healer', not 'hauler'). Now, it seems based on my paltry player experience and forum research, these activities have a few skills where level V is a must. No problem, long haul game. I'm committed to investing the time, not crying about the wait.
What I'm most worried is that when learning, as a player, to do some of these activities, with low skills, it can get a little frustrating. Not tear inducing, keyboard slamming, coffee cup throwing, baby seal clubbing, CCP please fix this frustrating. Just the 'well, I still suck at this, is it low skills?' frustrating. So you go to the forums and read 'get skill X, Y & Z to V'. Or find use ship A, with fit B, which require some training time. I don't want to patiently wait only to find that with all skills at V, I still as player, still suck at it.
That said, for those of you who explore, scout and/or logi, how much time did you devote getting player experience in these activities on the way to hitting level V on some of these skills or does hitting level V simply make them practical to do?
TIA, hope this made sense.
PS: I refuse to generate any tears here. Wouldn't it be ironic if my lack of player skill generated the first...
