Lvl 3 security missions are a joke and slightly more dangerous then mining, sometimes you gotta shoot the guy webbing you sometimes you gotta press the e key (keep distance from) when taking too much damage. Null sec exploration is free money when you learn to get past these eve veterans that are complete trash at setting up blockades. Faction war is a waiting period until you can match the sp levels of these guys rocking atleast twice the damage and hull as you. Wormholes are just an advanced security mission where you gotta spam your dscan. In the past there have been 3 games I've dedicated my time to (World of warcraft, league of legends and socom II) I have been in the top 1% of players in their arenas, so I love every aspect of pvp, but it feels so dry in this game. I've made over a billion isk within my short time playing and am feeling as though this game presents no challenge. I've watched some youtube videos and watched guys clicking all over their screen as they fight other pilots.......Who in the hell clicks in pvp, It's hotkeys and hotkeys only, miliseconds matter, None the less these pilots win battle after battle which tells me this game is really nothing but a "I've got more time invested into skills then you" game.
I really want to enjoy this game. I love the idea of this game, I love space, space ships, pvp, making in game money, challenges and grinds but none of it seems to be keeping my attention. Where is the challenge and where is the fun in this game? What do YOU do that keeps you hooked? As of right now I feel like sitting in a hangar for a few months waiting for reasonable skills to be trained.
EVE PvP and the game in general is about consequences. Yes, PvP is not like, say, GW2, but its more intellectual, and you get that 'rush' because one person in the fight is gonna lose a ship they worked for, and everything in it.
In WoW, you die. So what? you revive yourself. Imagine you lost ALL your gear and your ENTIRE inventory when you died in WoW. Its these consequences that make it such a thrill. Its the effect. Like the 6VDT-H battle. Tidi sucks. Blob warfare sucks. Was it epic? yes. Why? Because it mattered in the game. Someone else OWNS their own part of a game and fought for it. It affects the economy and the future.
Another thing: EVE builds real relationships with people. Your corp members are not your "guildies." If you don't know your corpmates well, you're doing it wrong. Things such as scams or trickery are what keep the game exciting. It may suck to fall victim to someone else's scheme, but even when you do, you're thinking, "wow, I have never experienced something like that before."
Its these factors of realism that keep the game interesting. Its the fact that everything matters. If you don't enjoy the game, you are not sensing this realism.
Maybe you've been a carebear too long? Try FW again. Yes, the skill point disparity is quite annoying, but even if they are higher skilled than you you can stilll get in a good fight. I have low SP, and i almost never win fights. But i still have them, because i have the PvP skills and get get an even fight with anyone, even if i ultimately lose every time when they have half their hull hp left.
Otherwise, all i can say is that eve is a slooooow game. Some simply cannot deal with this. |
