Mizhir Native Freshfood Minmatar Republic 74053	Posted - 2015.02.22 12:02:20 - [91] - Quote Solo pvp is EVE on hardmode. Just a shame that most people are slaves of their own killboard/epeen and are afraid to fight against the odds. Proof that solo pvp is still alive and kicking ass.

Kaarous Aldurald Sebiestor Tribe Minmatar Republic 11879	Posted - 2015.02.22 12:06:50 - [92] - Quote Where have all the gudfites gone, and what's with all the blobs? Where's the spaceship samurai, who'll fight on even odds? Isn't there a white knight, who'll duel me at the sun? On the forums, I wring my hands cause I want a 1v1... I need some solo! (solo) Cause I wanna be solo in an MMO! And I think that I'm leet, I know I can't be beat But the other side has more ppl tho... I wanna solo! (solo) ... Sometime after midnight, out alone in Wicked Creek Some butthole in a cyno ship, is out there chasing after me If I try to attack, then he'll just cyno in a black ops fleet Then my super cool ship will get blapped so quickly Other people shouldn't have friends, cause that's so unfair to me! I need some solo! "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws." One of ours, ten of theirs.

In the end another top-heavy economy that's falling over and nobody wants to fly shiny stuff because it's too fuckin hard to replace. Its easy to make isk (billions in weeks) if you are willing to invest time so your post is nothing but a clueless mess: Are you into Frigate PvP? Join FW -> Get LP From Fighting + Missions. Missions in FW lvl 4 are worth a fck ton of Isk/LP and are easy (doable in a Bomber.) Do you enjoy 0.0 PvP in NPC Space? Find a Corp that pays for kills ( a lot of them lately) and do Missions. If you have not run missions before you can easily gain access to Lvl 4's in NPC 0.0. Do you Enjoy 0.0 PvP in Sov Space? Find an alliance (there is MILLIONS) and rat in havens Also **** easy. Are you a High sec Scrub who is afraid to do something new? Quit the Game and stop whining. Literally any absoultely noob can make isk so serious WHAT THE FCK ARE YOU ON ABOUT WHEN YOU SAY "In the end another top-heavy economy that's falling over and nobody wants to fly shiny stuff because it's too fuckin hard to replace" YOU NOOB?

Remiel Pollard Shock Treatment Ministries 6519	Posted - 2015.02.22 18:52:45 - [99] - Quote I've found plenty of solo PVP, most of it flying assault frigates, especially the Enyo and the Ishkur. One of my favourite engagements was in Khanid against five T1 frigates that all melted to my Enyo but not without putting up one helluva fight against it. They had a Merlin with tracking disruptor and MASB, three Slashers with neuts (which nearly killed my reps), and a fed navy comet set up to kite with rails and drones. And it was not an easy fight but it was glorious, and more importantly, fun for everyone involved. I was in deep structure by the end of it and my sacrificial drone needed replacing... For the record, solo PVP isn't impossible. You choose to go solo in a game like this though only to challenge yourself, not to challenge others, so you cannot expect others to fight you on your terms. The only rules they have to abide by are the EULA and TOS, they have absolutely zero obligation to any sense of 'honour' you may 'demand' of them. On the flip side, flying solo does not necessarily mean one fails to recognise the multiplayer nature of an MMO. If you're doing it right, then the first thing you acknowledge flying solo is that you will encounter gangs and people with friends. Again, the point of flying solo is to challenge yourself, not to challenge others. GÇ£Some capsuleers claim that ECM is 'dishonorable' and 'unfair'. Jam those ones first, and kill them last.GÇ¥ - Jirai 'Fatal' Laitanen, Pithum Nullifier Training Manual c. YC104

That might be the reality of the forum, but not the reality of the game. People who are successfully soloing in game have no need to come here and whine about the lack of solo pvp (which is really a whine about not being able to find other solo pvpers from people who try to go solo and fail). If someone wants to solo, they can. Easily. All they need to do is get in a ship, undock and go roam. Solo =/= 1v1 though. Solo = 1v1, 1v2, 1vBlob (and all of them are part of the enjoyment).

Be honest, are you even capable of killing anything on your own? In which case, are you really qualified to give advice on how to find pvp as a solo'er?

There needs to be some bench mark or level system in regards to a players points. Yes a dude with 70 million SP will rofl stomp the dude with 7million. With damage modifiers maxed out along with general resists (defenses) maxed out, why bother as a new player? Stroke the veterans ego? No thanks! i.e for every 10 million sp you earn you'd gain a level. Just an idea?=ƒÿù Or you could learn to play and understand how SP actually works. Wherein a newish 7mil sp player invested into there ship of choice is equivellant to a 70 mil sp character invested into the same because you can only invest so much into each ship. By all means please break this down for me. Please tell me how a 7mill invested to fully skill a cruiser player takes down a 70 mill fully skilled battleship player 1 v 1. Nice dream but SP differential >>>>> piloting skill in EvE. What you say is to convince you that you are in a true PvP game where piloting skill would matter.

How is 1v1 solo? That's called multiplayer. Ratting is solo. Learn the difference. If you want 1vs1 find a empty system anywhere (if it's high-sec use the duel feature that CCP added).... honorbro 1vs1 thunderdome at the sun until your heart is content. Plenty of people love doing this. However one needs to get social and actually meet people who are into this type of thing. It's not hard, it's a huge universe and whatever you are into chances at least a few hundred people want the same thing. Now, if a player wants to roam around FW or nullsec totally alone while not mastering the ability to do this (and it's not just a SP thing, it's spending much time getting really good at eve) and gets eaten alive by a group and then cries about how all they wanted was 1vs1 honorbro combat......... lmao
Speedkermit Damo Demonic Retribution 390	Posted - 2015.02.23 12:48:25 - [115] - Quote I'm a null-seccer, and I've recently moved to Black rise for some solo PvP because nullsec is becoming ever more stagnant and boring. I'm not having any trouble finding solo pvp in Black Rise and surrounding regions. Protect me from knowing what I don't need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don't know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen.

Lloyd Roses 862	Posted - 2015.02.23 14:43:47 - [117] - Quote Solo pvp isn't dead, just that the number of brainless people to shoot at has drastically decreased. If it's dead now than it was more than just dead two years ago, when falcons were rearry hardcore. Also, what is solo pvp to start with? 1v1? 1v5 still solo? Cause if yes, then there is plenty of that to have and plenty to be won by fighting 5 scissors with one badass rock. I GÖÑ Sleipnir
