My total experience of pvp so far has been getting blown out of the sky in situations where i stood absolutely no chance of winning. This may be down to my own stupidity as a "noob" player but it still leaves me feeling slightly bitter when i consider people actually taking pleasure from killing someone in their first few weeks.
Example 1 - First week of play: Entering low sec for the first time in my first destroyer whilst traveling to collect from a station (woops.... my own stupidity) Example 2 - ~2 weeks in: Joined a corp and we got a wardec within my first week with them. I decided I would be fine continuing to run level one security missions in a little frigate because surely nobody would go out of their way to target an obvious noob running level ones... I was promptly blown up by someone using an ~8 year old character who was solo hunting us (Again probably my own stupidity but at the same time was it really worth it for him?) Example 3 - ~3-4 weeks in onto a new wardec from a different corp: I decided to go looking for a fight in the hope of finding a 1v1 so i chose a frigate i didnt mind losing and went for a prowl. I actually spotted a lone enemy rifter which ive heard are quite nasty in pvp but decided to chase him anyway. Through a jump gate straight into the mouth of a talos and two other ships. (Dont ask me how I didnt spot them because they just sort of appeared after I decloaked and went for the rifter...) Now fair enough... I was baited into a trap. A lone frigate flown by a character with around ~1,000,000sp baited into combat with four people. To me thats a bit low but i guess thats just how it works on eve. Ill get used to it and hopefully outgrow it but i dont think ill be doing that to noobs. Personally i think the rifter should have been the one to kill me, then i might have actually learnt something.
On a whole the corp was taking an absolute beating so after two weeks of barely playing i decided to leave and just play it safe in an npc corp until i have a few million more sp.
Im still too new to the game to say whether or not i think this system is right or wrong but i do know that i wont be joining a player corp again until i can at least hold my own.
Edit. I think stupidity is probably the wrong word... naivety maybe or just plain ignorance :p
A lot of dudes have gone through the same thing that you experienced, never quitted and are, today, absolute killing machines. You just were unlucky. I suggest you look for a corp that has people who know how to fight and are good at teaching what they learned through the years. Soloing as a noob is very hard. Most people will not give you a chance, even if you are a noob and alone. Eve`s PvP is extremely complex so you need to do your research on how to fit a PvP ship. Looking for videos on the web that shows how PvP basically works is also not a bad idea. And getting in a good corp can really make a difference when you are a noob.
The keys are: knowledge, practice, persistance...and teamplay. (if you are patient enough...you will find your fun ) |
