I'm almost 3 months into this game and has a brand new player, I think the following should be STRONGLY reinforced into any new players mind.
First of all. It has been mentioned over and over BUT, PVP...PVP...PVP... (Player versus Player)... PVP... Players versus Player... Players versus... well, you're on your own at first so... really player(s) versus you! It's unavoidable, it's everywhere, it's gonna frustrate you, it's gonna cost you that hard to get ISK you see disappearing like smoke and it's gonna bugle your mind! Why did he kill me? Why did he killed me so easily? Why could'nt I target him? Where did he came from? Why could'nt I hit him? What was that damn ship? He killed my ship...darn... oh wait... He can also destroy that little pod I'm in.... and He even killed my character! Wow!!!
Now, I'm still here and It's because mostly of an awesome community who answers my questions and don't hesitate to help me if I ask. My solution for this huge blank space in this universe is quite simple.
I wish there was an agent/tutorial/whatever that interface lady names that gives opportunities out, who would of send me to a PVP area! Just a place in the beginner's area where you can go and dish it out with fellow new players. Just a spot with his own channel that's in the newbie area where you can go nuts and try to take out other players just like you. Maybe make it so all faction (minmatar, caldari, amarr, gallente) could appear in that area with their rookie ships and make mayhem happens!
Imagine how fun it would be to just have a rookie ship, a bunch of civilian modules, like too many then what you need. Just to try fittings and equipments. Making you realise what works for the ship and for you. Loosing ship after ship, just going at it. learning how it is to be outnumbered or to start a toon with a friend and see how a fleet and teamwork can change the whole game dynamic. I can easily see an area like that, only available to less than so many skillpoint toons or less than 3 days old or whatever works kinda deal. Players would all be able to chat in that area and the opportunity thingy or whatever should mention that you CAN speak with someone that just killed you and tell him GF or that you want a rematch. Reinforcing the good vibe that this game has.
And like everyone else... D-SCAN... I was reading through this post and realised that the D-Scan work with your camera and not the ship directions... if it's true... gotta try it now to see if I'll be able to find someone on that damn thing. I feel like D-Scan is shouting my name in a warning when I get into Low-Sec for crying out loud and I can't seam to find a damn ship 1 AU from me!
D-Scan people.... D-Scan! |
