However this 1/2 speed skill nerf is killing me as far as enjoyment goes. I'm really not willing to wait around 2 weeks to be halfway competent in any one skill tree. 6 months to be "maxed out" Just. No.
If it takes 6 months to max out your alpha skills, then why not get a 3 months subscription? Max out your alpha skills and then drop back to F2P with maxed out alpha skills.
Another important thing to note is that you should aim for a balanced skill tree instead of maxing out individual skills. It is a much more productive use of your training time to get 10 skills to level 3, then have one skill at level 5. At the outset you should only be getting level 5's if it is pre-requisite for something else.

I'm curious what site you wanted to find, and what its scan requirements are. Whether that site is scannable by alphas might not have been considered. Thanks for the tips, a corp is probably my next step. I'm around level 3 on my exploration skills and I think the next level is like 9 days away. Yesterday I spent all day going into wormholes and only finding sleeper sites which is a big part of my annoyance. If I could just scan down things faster it wouldn't be an all day thing. Exploring is fun, scanning not so much. Cool. Kreutz mentioned a scan strength of 81 and that reminds me, I *think* you can scan down all sites with a minimum scan strength of 75?
That might be old news.
As for the corp thing, and accomplishing stuff in the game. I can't say any single activity really gives you a "hell yes I accomplished this." kind of feeling. It's all repetitive anyway. What makes it different or worthwhile is helping each other out / doing those repetitive things with other people.
If you're already going into wormholes that's kind of crazy. I didn't explore wormholes until a few years in when I had highly skilled battleship characters. (which was dumb. you don't / shouldn't need to play in wormholes with battleships).

I don't really have a problem with 6 million SP characters reaching that point faster. I wouldn't question alphas training at normal speed. You get what, racial frigates and destroyers and support skills to 4? I don't even know. I should probably check.
I ran a couple of tests in the past few days to check out the alpha's and was disappointed because they are hard capped to lvl 4 in skills. I'm not sure if its all of the ones that they can train but i know for sure that they cant take cybernetics or venture to lvl 5.
The ability to use more than one account at the same time isnt possible on one computer which i think is good to a certain extent as it stops people from gang abuse. At the same time that was my initial reason for trying out the alpha's in the first place as i wanted to test out multiboxing to see if its worth my time and effort before subbing and skilling up or buying a few half decent chars with isk.
As an old player from 2005 I can tell you that there probably would of been a lot of players who would of taken advantage of the current ease of training skills and a lot of us made mistakes during our training too which with the introduction of the skill injectors helped us to fix those unwanted skills.
Also to the op, you've got 2 weeks to be half competent and you feel agitated by that.... I can understand that very well but things have been made a lot easier for you compared to what a lot of us had to go through in the past. We had half the attribute points that you start with and had to spend a good month or two training up learning skills to give us +1 point in the attribute that skill affected per skill level.
Just think of the current speed of that current skill plan you're following, what would it be like with half the attribute stats you have now?
Thats what we had to go through before learning those learning skills just to have the stats you have now.
Also with regards to being on an equal footing as a veteran there are a lot of pvp corps out there who want alpha's still because they know that it may not be good for you guys in 1v1 but if there is enough of you flying those ships you can go out and cause a lot of havoc... |

Demonspawn 666 wrote: Thank you very much for posting this!
It is so refreshing to see the enjoyment and keenness of some people, despite the alpha restrictions!
I hope you stay with it, join a corp and find some like-minded souls to do stuff with. The enjoyment of this game isn't how much isk you have in your wallet or how big your ship is, it's the interactions that make the game.
You may be broke, but you are trying to have fun and have a positive outlook, that counts for a lot.
Thanks. Isk is just a fun-enabler, far as I can tell. Play games for entertainment, not to have virtual riches sitting in my wallet. Can't deny it was exciting to actually do first nullsec site and get 6 million of loot home & sold. But if all it's going to do is sit in wallet untouched, 6 mill is just as good as 6 bill.
Quote:Will happily send you some isk when I get home from work, enjoy, spend it on something ridiculously overpriced, take it out and get it blown up, enjoy the cool explosion, shake with adrenaline , repeat ad infinitum.
And very much thanks if you do that. Already had my first moment like that. In a wormhole in my heron, made a safe, scanning down the sigs to hopefully find another wormhole to low or null with nobody in it. I don't think I was checking dscan enough, I saw a nemesis, then I saw nothing, never saw probes, but suddenly had a nemesis and I think a helios appear right by me. They targeted me, they put some sort of debuff on me, but they apparently forgot to tackle, and I warped out, heart beating wildly. And now I think I'm hooked.

Why should player that pays for the game be penalised just because alpha accounts arent happy?
I know there are older players than me, some since 2003, we have played EVE and supported the game with money. A lot of the alpha accounts come to test out EVE you knew what you were getting, its made VERY clear. Why complain about it, you dont go and get given a car and then complain that its not a better one to the person who gave it to you.
You want the same privileges as an omega, then become omega.
The F2P model isnt designed to let you do everything that a paid account can do, its to let you test the water in the hopes you will sub.
And we all knew these threads would be coming, would you rather it were still on the old system of a 14 day trial then either sub, go away or restart another trial? with restrictions on what you could train and use and after 14 days CCP says "times up".
If you want to play for free, go ahead and do it, but dont come crying that its not fair that these people train faster and can do more when they are actually the ones that are directly (paying money) or indirectly (buying a plex that someone else bought with RL money) paying and supporting CCP and EVE's continued existence.

it was more due to the starter corp i joined, they wanted everyone to mine and mission run so I had mining skills on both of my main characters which wasnt bad at the time cos it was a little income from the minerals. I joined Stain Alliance for a few days and didnt feel ready for null sec at that time so went back to the starter corp and began investing in purchasing bookmarks for null sec space and skilling towards pvp which is when I noticed I had wasted skill points in mining. |

I have played wow a couple of times. Now that was a free trial that offered nothing. Like what I think is the case in eve, playing solo gets boring. Playing with people is more interesting. Lack of consequences can make it a bit boring. One big difference, especially if you've already played for a bit, is that if you start a new character, you've got about 30-40 hours or more of boring grind before you reach interesting gameplay. Or you drop ~$50 and reduce the grind to 10 hours. Doesn't seem to be the case here, can jump straight into stuff. On the other hand, in wow you can do everything once that grind is over, you don't need to specialise.
I used to play the secret world, which had the best mission design of any game I've ever played, especially the initial stephen king themed zone. . But never really got into the multiplayer side, nor end game content. Felt more like a single player rpg, like fallout, witcher, etc.
And played a wide assortment of single player games stretching right back to wonder boy on the sega as a kid, one of my most memorable gaming moments was next door neighbour in highschool getting a 486 with wing commander, then on to a lot of diablo 2 & starcraft while at uni (giant old 6 bedroom share house with around 10 computers hooked up to lan ), civ, moo2, etc, etc.
Pace of eve seems decent. So far, I can mostly dictate the pace myself. Do some missions, just cruise through. Do some mining while 75% of attention is focused elsewhere. Try and get through a wormhole to dangerous space on the other side, and the adrenaline is working even if nothing actually happens. Even if the pace is slow, even if nothing actually happens to me, the game creates that tension of not knowing what is out there, not knowing when you might get a nasty surprise. It's similar to what something like the good Silent Hill games managed in that sense, that it can generate excitement by having nothing happen. That may change later. I might get more complacent about the stuff I find dangerous now. I might feel more bored and be reliant on other players being around. Or I might feel that, have learned a bit by then, and so go out solo searching for fights and inspiring in others what I am feeling now.
The combat, what little I've seen of it, appeals to me far more than it does in games like wow. I've never liked FPS games much, I detest wow's pvp. Seems much more about good tactics, about reacting the right way, about the big picture of what's going on, much more than how fast can you click mouse on exactly the right spot on screen, or run in a circle/through the other person so that you're facing them but they're not facing you. When I die, I'm going to be able to think 'ok, I probably did this wrong' and learn from it. As opposed to the wow reaction of 'how stupid is this'.
I think there are strengths and weaknesses to it being such a sandbox. With the obvious weakness to me being that it won't sustain the fun as a single player game. And the obvious strength being that if something gets boring, just go and try something else. That and the emergent gameplay, that everything has consequences, that you don't just get to reload or respawn without cost.

Well then you sure as **** won't like being an omega. then. i've got a 2 month queue lined up to be "halfway competent" at a single ship. and have the next 2 years of training planned out and still won't be even remotely close to being "maxed out" |

So it sounds to me like you enjoy EVE because it's almost the opposite of a twitch game. That's the appeal for a lot of people. You also sound like a vet so there's that. (one of us, etc)

However whats the point in trying a game at half speed. I will say, If I were new it would put me off alittle. I'm a new alpha. I'm not experiencing this whole 'can't do anything, I'm only a floating target' thing that the OP is complaining about. Yeah, I'm more or less broke. Yeah, I can't do anything very well. But I can still try it. Can do an okish job of exploring. Can mine ok for a bit of cash while I'm doing other work by computer. Can run missions ok, do most of SOE arc. Apparently I'll need help for a couple of those. Haven't yet, but can apparently do okish job in pvp roams, too. Be a scout, be a tackle, be a very dead bait alpha cluelessly wandering into low security space. I don't think I could fight anybody 1v1, but so what? More to do than any other free trial I've played, more fun than any other free trial I've played, which is why I'll be subbing. However, if CCP got rid of the half training speed, I wouldn't sub. At least, not yet. Looks like some of the alpha skills are low priority, but looks like there's maybe 3-4 million of the 5 million that are high priority general skills I'm going to want anyway. If I trained at full speed, that'd be 10-12 weeks of training to get those points? So I'd play free for 3 months, and only sub then. Instead, I've played for 2 weeks and will be subbing to get proper training speed. I don't think it'll open up any new gameplay avenues for me in the next 2-3 months, I'll still be new player in basic ships trying to learn the game.
I' glad to see your enjoying the game.
I just think the half speed isn't a good idea. It's still 3 months worth of training at full speed, & yes it's still better than any free trial going or the has ever been.
I don't think the time frame on how quick you complete the alpha skills dictates how quickly someone will sub. Everyone is different.
Hell I remember doing the free trial & I was hooked on day 3. So this avenue CCP have got for new players is great. I can't knock it, apart from the training time. You have to remember 6 months is someones real life. Time is precious. |

Just wait until you want to use a T2 battle ship and have a 30 day wait for one skill, or capital ships which take months to use at the most basic of skill.
If 6 months is too long you probably wont last long even as an Omega clone.
If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

We've all seen it before. That any skin any ship bug kind of blew the doors off that plan too.
Next-level cash shop items would be changes to the model of the ship, and not just color but animation of the panels or changing the silhouette of the ship completely.

I'm hooked that quickly. It's just that if alphas trained at normal speed, then I'd have no incentive to sub right now, as the first 2 months as an omega would be identical to the first 2 months as a full-speed alpha, so there's no benefit to subbing until 2 months down the track.

<- Former paid, now maxed out alpha. I kinda agree with the OP, or at least I'm open to the idea. Longevity of anything is based on the balance of the fun vs suck ratio. Yes there is plenty of fun to be had on an alpha account. If parts of it didn't suck as well, there wouldn't be a sense of accomplishment, so both have the be present and balanced. Where I can support the OP (even though it sounds like another self entitled whine thread) is that most alpha skills are basic support skill, not advanced skills. The same skills that people are talking about when saying "don't fly what you don't have the support skills for." Well, we're talking about the support skills for frigates! That old advice is now basically telling alphas "start up an account, do nothing except manage your skill queue for a few months, then start playing the game." Which is all suck, no fun.

EVE is a game of patience. Unlike many other games out there a good many EVE players are not younguns. We tend towards the thirty somthings and beyond. It is NOT an instant gratification game, instead lumbering along with the notion of 'good things come to those who wait'. The daring, the bold, the reckless and the heedless to danger can enjoy all that EVE has to offer with 'relative' speed. By relative I mean months in EVE are the equivalent to weeks in other games... patience is measured in years. No matter what, you have to make sure that you set your OWN standards for what you consider high-end or endgame content to be. You then work slowly and inexorably towards said goals. Nothing is going to be handed to you. There is no free lunch. People will strive to take what is yours from you and it's up to you and you alone to keep them from doing so. That said, keep on at it. The journey is a trip if you let it be.
Come hell or high water, this sick world will know I was here.

Just wait until you want to use a T2 battle ship and have a 30 day wait for one skill, or capital ships which take months to use at the most basic of skill. If 6 months is too long you probably wont last long even as an Omega clone.
Problem being is that as an omega you have plenty of other things to do that you are productive or efficient at while you wait. As an alpha there's nothing that fits that bill, and even maxed out I would guess not.
I've probably achieved more than most alpha's due to my playing MMO's almost exclusively since 2003 and a love of sci fi.
However, if you expect me to twiddle my thumbs for 6 months so I can be a half-***ed character in a half-***ed ship with half-***ed modules you've got another thing coming. |

The entire point of Alpha is to give you a taste and make you want more, at which point you sub. That's it. That's all it's for. |

Then why the change from trial then? I don't get it. |
