Darian en Chasteaux EVE University Ivy League 2	Posted - 2013.10.27 15:18:00 - [1] - Quote Greetings Capsuleers ! (Part 1 Of 2) These posts are good; some of them should be taken to heart like the Overview - I am deciding to "HAVE" to use dual screens to get the thing off my main screen it is being more obtrusive than I want. I can deal with that. Scanning? Well lets back up...The career missions are what they are...I have no major problems with them but the scanning issue is bugged out even worse than what it was a year ago when I started; I played for 3 months or so then left cause I wanted to play for free and make 600mil ISK a month; nah it wasnt worth my time. Well now most every MMO is boring except maybe for a few new ones coming out; so ya know what I am payin a SUB and I am gonna "LEARN" (<<<<<<<<<<) to HAVE FUN with this game and not let "ANYONE" intimidate me. After my first few Live Stream Videos I was already intimidated by an "Experienced" player telling me "...that there is a better way... There will always be a better way ... UP TO A POINT <<<<<<<<<< THAT IS WHERE YOU START TO LEARN>>>>>>>>>>> When you lose stuff...anything...it is "PERMADEATH"...you will never be able to reclaim it back...it is gone forever !!!!!! DEAL WITH IT AND USE THIS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE !!!!! You may ask how ? I am doing up a "Stategy and Tactics" of a 3 Month Player of Eve Online probly tonite to get it off my chest and basically - "LAY IT ON THE LINE" !!! For what you may ask ? HOW TO PLAY EVE ONLINE ! Looking back, the most important thing I wish I had known: ESTEL ARADOR CORP: FREE JUMP CLONES <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< It was this sole reason above I left Eve Online and Eve Univ with a bad taste in my mouth; no one ever told me about this service altho it may have been 'SUGGESTED' to me by some members of Eve Univ; it's not their fault and I probly take some blame because of the overwhelming things to do when joining Eve Online for the first time. I am sorry people but this is not a hack and slash game; it is like a college course on how to survive your character in PVP !!! This is probly a game meant for groups, and NOT SOLO !!!!!! This doesnt mean you cant play SOLO - I do that is how I am learning; but there will be points when I need help and will 'LEARN MORE' in Eve Univ (that is just my personal prreference - you may have other friends in Corps that will train you and that is fine) Eve Univ is more relaxed and there are some nice knowledgeable people here - I wish...in that regard ...:::::::: That I had known Seamus Donahue before I joined Eve ! To Be Continued ... Darian
Darian en Chasteaux EVE University Ivy League 2	Posted - 2013.10.27 15:19:00 - [2] - Quote Continued.......... The problem with Eve Online that too much knowledge is not good here. In my opinion, when I joined, I got just exactly what I expected from a Pay to Play game; but as I learned and grew in those deleicate first 3 months, I learned what Eve Online was really all about. It is up to YOU the player to research this game before playing; that is why you have trial accounts; but be WARNED: TIME IS MONEY IN THIS GAME. LEARN THE BASIC SKILLS FROM THE CAREER AGENTS UP TO SAY LEVEL 2/3 BOTH IN THE CAREER MISSIONS AND SKILLS. TRAIN YOUR CLONES UP TO 4 This is EASY and SIMPLE. PLEASE DONT SKILL UP TO GET BIG SHIPS - YOU WILL EPIC FAIL IN THE LONG RUN. Quote: #4 Posted: 2013.09.12 16:40 \| Report Like 14 I wish I had known that flying a small ship with good skills would a better idea than a big ship with bad skills I was also quite confused about weapon differences, especially when considering range Tactically, the above post says it all. Most new Eve players will not do this nor do they know about it. RESEARCH THIS GAME A WEEK BEFORE YOU EVEN GET INTO IT ! I looked at it for months before I joined - a little here and a little there - it is up to YOU the player to do the research - THAT IS WHAT THIS GAME IS ALL ABOUT - RESEARCH AND LEARNING - well for the good and happy player that is ! I knew this right from the getgo. As for MAIN Faction alignment...READ their histories and LORE...then find out where you fit in...then find the ship you want to fly for the job you want to do a year from now<<<< I will be Battleship qualified in 3 months game play with Elite skills in trail - ALL to qualify for the Battleship I am flying; I have yet to train for a few more months to get my skills to ELITE before I even think about hopping in one. I KNEW: that I could train many basic skills to level 1 and 2, and have a great idea about the game (YOU LEARN WHAT FACTION YOU WANT TO BE IN BEFORE YOU PLAY ANY GAME DUH)...In fact I may have chose the wrong faction in the long run; but ...I AM ALSO A ROLE PLAYER !!! SO....I am stuck with what I got...I made a good decision and I can flex and bend with the wind and ROLEPLAY my true self...in the end, i am still very pleased with my character. I dont want to rant forever cauze I want to play the game haha !!!! I hope this helps. Yes there are problems still CCP needs to fix; but there ARE(<<<<) player solutions to these problems; I am in fact addressing these in my LIVE STREAMS at: http://www.twitch.tv/cdr_zeta I cant stream gameplay action; but I will help anyone new to the game as best I can; unfortunately there is a problem with helping - it is called SPOILING......we dont want this to happen...one way to learn is to die in-game...it is inevitable...if you learn to die early on, it wont be so bad...I will be pretty good at it when i first get out there...but ya never know. With this in mind, I am gonna do a lesson in love tonite to get it off my chest about Eve Tactical gameplay; it is so simple but again, it may be a spoiler..some people like spoilers...the problem is if I teach you something, you wont have learnt it for yourself; and to me that is the best way to learn - BEING SELF-TAUGHT. However there is one aspect here that may really save yer butt in the beginning - there is no shame in running (HAHA!!!) but that is only the tip of the iceburg in my stream tonite!
