Hosto Jadara The Scope Gallente Federation 2	Posted - 2013.10.17 19:09:00 - [1] - Quote EVE has been getting a little dull. Could I get an opinion on how to make it more exiting? I have a total of about 70 mill. isk, and I have gallente skills.
Ottersmacker Genos Occidere 418	Posted - 2013.10.17 19:10:00 - [2] - Quote for the past few years, occasionally logging in and managing the skill queue has done the trick for me i just locked an open door.. strange, yet symbolically compelling.
Hosto Jadara The Scope Gallente Federation 2	Posted - 2013.10.17 19:12:00 - [3] - Quote I know the feeling...
Chandaris Immortalis Inc. Shadow Cartel 439	Posted - 2013.10.17 19:13:00 - [4] - Quote Get involved in lowsec PVP and small gang warfare. Join a small pirate organization. That rekindled my interest after I almost gave up, and I have been playing for almost 3 years straight now, making buckets of isk doing lowsec PVE and regularly pushing peoples, .. ahem.. 'stuff' in. EDIt: you have zero kills and two losses. Get involved in PVP. It's the only part of this game that is actually good.
Mr Epeen It's All About Me 3090	Posted - 2013.10.17 19:14:00 - [5] - Quote If you are bored in this game at only a few months old and can't figure out which of the many thousands of things you could try next, maybe this just isn't the game for you. Mr Epeen There are 86,400 seconds in a day. You just saved one of them by typing 'u' instead of 'you'.-á Congratulations, dumbass!
Jen Takhesis The Scope Gallente Federation 22	Posted - 2013.10.17 19:15:00 - [6] - Quote DirectX 11 is shinier than 9. Also, I recommend Brasso or Flitz for polishing dull surfaces.
atpc The Scope Gallente Federation 12	Posted - 2013.10.17 19:15:00 - [7] - Quote I was going to ask what haven't you done in Eve yet.. but since there's so many roads to take, I think a more appropriate question is what have you done already?
Mr Pragmatic 691	Posted - 2013.10.17 19:17:00 - [8] - Quote Mr Epeen wrote: If you are bored in this game at only a few months old and can't figure out which of the many thousands of things you could try next, maybe this just isn't the game for you. Mr Epeen possibly the most bone headed dull comment I read in a while. OP, best thing to do is get involved with things that incorporate people. For example, PVP, running a PVE corp, pretty much anything that requires you to delegate. Super cali hella yolo swaga dopeness. -á-Yoloswaggins, in the fellowship of the bling.
Hosto Jadara The Scope Gallente Federation 2	Posted - 2013.10.17 19:18:00 - [9] - Quote After about a month of playing, I scraped up the funds to get a retriever, and I`ve been mining ever since.

Hosto Jadara The Scope Gallente Federation 2	Posted - 2013.10.17 19:23:00 - [11] - Quote Well thanks for the help!
Jarod Garamonde Sardaukar Merc Guild General Tso's Alliance 340	Posted - 2013.10.17 19:26:00 - [12] - Quote Hosto Jadara wrote: EVE has been getting a little dull.

You can dislike what he said, it doesn't stop it from being true. My favorite saying is "if you're not having fun in a sandbox, it's not the Sands fault". A sandbox game requires a player to be a self starter, unlike a themepark game that sets out the experience for the player.
Galen Darksmith Sky Fighters 48	Posted - 2013.10.17 19:41:00 - [14] - Quote It took you this long to get bored of mining? PVP should last you for years, then.
Jayem See Biohazard. WINMATAR. 2001	Posted - 2013.10.17 19:43:00 - [15] - Quote I can't stress enough the importance of getting to know people. Chat in local, chat in corporation public channels, chat everywhere. Then, once you find someone you are interested in flying with, fake an illness at work so that you can maintain a regular online presence, thus gaining your e-colleagues trust. Once you have alienated all your real life friends and pulled a ridiculous amount of hours, working in a variety of different EvE "professions" then, and only then, you may have started to find your place in this terrible universe. It is at this point you realise that this game has its fangs well and truly in your neck. No other MMO will feel worth playing. It's time to make a choice. Bail out? Or stick. If you bail out, well that's probably a sensible thing to do. Eve is a terrible Mistress. If you stick. Only then can you start working on your vital rebuilding process where "I play for fun" and not "I MUST PLAY ALL DAY" starts to balance itself. This is the first stage in becoming... A BITTER VET. It will take time. In general I would take yourself through at least four expansions before you even consider yourself bitter. It takes a special blend of expectation versus disappointment to gain that status. If you declare bitterness too early nobody will take you seriously. Your comments will be smited once, twice and thrice by mighty forum warriors. Don't fall into this trap. Veteran status is something that you have to earn through trials of damp towels. Celebrate the fireworks when they come along. Anyways - I got off tangent a little there. Basically - make friends. This game is nothing without them. NOTHING. Just have fun with it. The second that you realise you are free to be who you want - you will get it. The all of the above drivel will make sense. Aaaaaaand relax.
Kitty Bear Disturbed Friends Of Diazepam Disturbed Acquaintance 928	Posted - 2013.10.17 19:46:00 - [16] - Quote solo play is, in my opinion, probably the worst aspect of eve doing co-operative stuff with other people, even mining, makes it more bearable

Could I get an opinion on how to make it more exiting? I have a total of about 70 mill. isk, and I have gallente skills. I have been told by the good people of these forums that when EVE gets dull it is your own fault and you need to undock and do 'something' Especially if you live in 0.0 Undock and do.. something

Jesus, no wonder you're bored. Here's what you do; think about what attracted you to eve, i guess it wasn't mining. Join corp that is into said thing. Have fun. One of my little side projects when i'm bored is spending time in low sec, exploring, and chilling out. Gotta just jump out of your comfort zone man.
No Means No University of Caille Gallente Federation 23	Posted - 2013.10.17 19:53:00 - [19] - Quote lol getting old eve is dead since 2006

It took me about a year to do this. I was scared of chatting in channels, on comms, I was basically scared of everything. Once you take the plunge it becomes a very different experience. Aaaaaaand relax.

Could I get an opinion on how to make it more exiting? I have a total of about 70 mill. isk, and I have gallente skills. I say you go to Jita, fit out a smart bomb bs. Load the cargo hold with some relatively cheap shinnies. Then go about 50k off the undock and announce in local that you are frustrated and quitting and giving away all your stuff away. Start ejecting the shinnies one at a time. Once you get a crowd activate the smart bombs and go down in blaze of glory. I don't play, I just fourm warrior.

I used to be a mission runner in high-sec for a couple of months and eventually unsubbed out of boredom. It was only after finding a low-sec piracy blog that I got interested in EVE again, joined a noob-friendly low-sec PvP corp and haven't looked back since. 70mil will get you a nice little stack of properly fitted T1 frigates to go and shoot stuff with. Looking forward to meeting you "Imagine it is war and everybody cloaks." -- Bienator II
Amhra Rho Accujac Elimination 149	Posted - 2013.10.17 19:56:00 - [23] - Quote I haven't even tried a fraction of these. There's real reasons why your Eve character doesn't do /dance.
Malcolm Shinhwa bad touches 428	Posted - 2013.10.17 19:59:00 - [24] - Quote Have you considered the amusing field of Role Playing? The New Order of Hisec is a very welcoming group. Bump or gank miners for fun and profit all while meeting new people. Sure those new people will spew all sorts of vile hate at you, but hisec is worth saving. Lots of ways to get started and a lot of agents of the Order willing to help a new bro get going. See http://www.minerbumping.com/ for more details. Hey CCP, please slush my fund like you did for SOMER Blink.
Winter Archipelago Innocuous Infection 132	Posted - 2013.10.17 19:59:00 - [25] - Quote Today is (literally) your four-month mark in the game; you started on 6/17/13. Get out there and get in fights! Look into joining RvB, as they are generally Frigate-based PvP: it's inexpensive, and is a lot of fun. Barring that, even if you don't want to necessarily get involved with PvP, get into an actual player corp. You were in one for only a few days previously, being in NPC corps the overwhelming majority of your time. Being in a corp with others who have active comms, active activities, active anything, really (even a drunk-op mining corp) is infinitely better than going solo in an NPC corp. Get out there and mingle, and for Sanity's sake, sell your retriever! Run some frigs in lowsec systems, and when you die (which will happen often), chat with your killers, ask for advise, and see if they'll recommend how to avoid your particular manner of death again in the future; you'll make some solid mates that way, just by talking with them and being friendly. Ransoms are accepted in Isk, Ships, Mods, and Dolls.

This person is correct. the purpose of pve in eve is to afford pvp. i vary my pve from incursion, to missions, to wh diving, to exploration to manufacturing just to minimise the repetitive dullness of making isk. then i do pvp which is awesome.

I will definitely give this a try with an alt. account. thanks for the suggestion!
Gerald Sphinx The Scope Gallente Federation 4	Posted - 2013.10.17 20:02:00 - [28] - Quote Alternatively you can dive into market trading and see how you much you can compete against other traders. I'm having fun doing that right now.
Neesha Marinn Caldari Provisions Caldari State 146	Posted - 2013.10.18 10:39:00 - [29] - Quote EVE is partially about what you do, but mostly about who you fly with. Surely, there are people that prefer to operate solo more often than not, but doing so while being part of a group of like-minded and spirited people is what makes it happen for me. And jumping in a Retriever while not having a corp to find some entertainment with is definately the road to boredom. I'm a reasonably old cat (even though there are those double my game-age), but I still love every minute of it.
Samillian Angry Mustellid 346	Posted - 2013.10.18 11:31:00 - [30] - Quote LowSec piracy, works for me. NBSI shall be the whole of the Law
