We need them! Newbie missions would rock! <a href="http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=387218">In reference to this post</a>
We need "Newbie" missions with Newbie agents. Some of the level 1's are pretty hard to complete, take... World's Collide. I love it, has a nice trick to completing it, but for a new player its definitely a steep climb to go straight from doing the newbie tutorial. Along with a few others.

I'd suggest the "Event" agents you see in different stations but they are mainly a good source of standing increase with various corps. They refer you from one to the next in a biiiiiig loop all the time hauling one unit of something. Your standing is increasing though it's not combat practice.
Did you do the tutorial through the part where they send you to an agent away in a different system, she sends you on a short series of missions and gives you an implant? they are good and easy and you get a free stat-increasing implant! (or you did when I did the tutorial a year ago...)
Ratting in asteroid belts and low level static complexes are good places to get some fairly easy combat practice when starting. No rats in belts of 1.0 or 0.9 systems, but 0.8 down to 0.5 get progressively harder in spawns of 1 to 3. Plus you can warp out and quit a complex that gets out of hand without failing a mission and taking a standing penalty for mission failure.

Also note: if you find that a certain level I mission is too hard at the moment, you can refuse it if it is offered to you with some restrictions:
For each agent, you can refuse a mission they offer once every 4 hours.
You don't have to wait four hours to ask for another mission, but if you want to say no a second time, you would have to find something else to do until 4 hours from the last refusal has passed.
If you try to refuse more often than that, a warning window will pop up saying "are you sure you want to take a standing penalty???" and the best answer is no. DO NOT check the checkbox that makes that window not appear, and if you do you can hit escape and in the game settings you can reverse that decision for those windows. It is a very important warning, plus it tells you when in EVEtime you can refuse something next.
Now once you accept a mission, you take a penalty by returning to the agent and choosing the option of "I quit this mission" or if the time runs out.
Storyline missions and agent offers you can turn down at any time without penalty, but they don't happen twice in 4 hours generally ;)

Yeah I know the tricks of missions and the like. Still doesn't remove the fact that Level 1 missions used to be totally doable in a "noob" frigate. At least most of them were for me, but over the past 7 months or so, the difficulty of level 1 missions has seemed to increased to the point where you need a top of the line frigate to complete all of them. And the event agents I did way back when, only sent you on a courier chain. What they need is a Level: New Player agents. Basically agents for new players to go to... Instead of hearing some new player go in corp chat "how do I complete Worlds Collide?", see that they are only 2 days into the game, and then I sigh. I also did the newbie tutorial missions, which again was a long courier chain, and one combat mission against a single drone.
What newbies need is the sort of missions where they are not greeted by 10x enemies.

If they put the newbie courier mission back in (that was removed wasn't it?) I don't see a problem with level 1 mission. You got enough money out of the courier mission to get a nice new frig, especially if you sold the implant. The only hard lvl1 mission is World Collide and as long as it's only this one i don't see a problem with that as well. After all seeking advice from others and overcoming problems is part of the game as well. -------------------------------------- Agent & Mission-Info: http://www.eveinfo.com |
