Wekiva	Posted - 2007.06.19 22:17:00 - [1] Edited by: Wekiva on 19/06/2007 22:18:53 Hi, I'm trying this game out... so far it's pretty awesome, it's defineatly a "different" game... But so far I'm really not sure what's going on with the rest of the players (I.e. it seems like its a slow-paced, extensive solo-PvE grind). So how long should it take to view "end-game" content.. is it all just a long grind? I'm a little confused on the whole "goal" of this game. And how long should it take to get there. So far all I've seen are some large ships..
Larg Kellein Caldari GTE Corp	Posted - 2007.06.19 22:18:00 - [2] Originally by: Wekiva Yeah, that about sums it up. A blank canvas indeed. Originally by: Roy Batty68 My software has wronged me!!! And it's immediately "sorry". Well, ok then. I suppose I'm not so upset at my software if it appologizes.

Kylegar Caldari The Dark Horses Hydra Alliance	Posted - 2007.06.19 22:25:00 - [8] The game is over when you decide to quit. You can get as powerfull as you want, you can do whatever. Complete every lvl 4 mission 8 times over, make 1 billion ISK, and spend it all in 5 min at Jita 4-4, Conqure the galaxy (IE: Join bob) then tear it down. Its all up to you.
Stakhanov kleptomaniacs	Posted - 2007.06.19 22:25:00 - [9] There is no real endgame. Well , you can be a titan pilot in a major alliance , but we're talking about 3+ years of work. Let's just say that Eve is very different from WoW.
Wekiva	Posted - 2007.06.19 22:26:00 - [10] Haha I knew I was gonna get a response like that So should how long should it take to reach this infamous "end-game"content. I've heard some about it.. still not sure exactly what happens though considering all I've seen are agent missions and some mining.
MotherMoon	Posted - 2007.06.19 22:27:00 - [11] it's allright I'll tell you what happen you said end game there is no end game lol come out to 0.2 space and PvP on your day if you like :P I trained for 220 days just to max out of frig skills and move into Assult figates but what I do hasn't changed much if you take eve as a slow paced grind then it will be or you can join a corperation like eve university and get most basic skills for free free ships and such everytime I kill something in a lvl 4 mission I make about a mil what I enjoy is getting killmails and exploring chating with corp mates protecting space now with sov, the "end game" which can be done form lvl 1 again remember is all about taking over space in 0.0 space :) or just being a pirate pain or hunting the pirates I don't know what to tel you :) it's more like... a 6 month grind of stuff untill the next expansion is out :) rev 3 man! you joined at the perfect time! also unlike other games you won't see rare equipment used that offen. so while you can find uber gear, most players will just use basic or tech 2 stuff hell someplayers don't even have combat skills they just build and make everyone love them :PP invention exploration whatever your pick
The Pointless Gallente Plastic Toys	Posted - 2007.06.19 22:28:00 - [12] sigh As I said, there is no endgame. This game does not have an end, it just goes on, allowing you carve your own path through the game. ----------------------------------------------- "Breaking News! The Pointless hates GIFs!"
Ridley Tree The Black Rabbits	Posted - 2007.06.19 22:28:00 - [13] Being an alliance Titan/Mothership pilot is akin to entering prison. Don't know if that is really 'end-game' or not. My end game is... hmm. To the OP. There is no end-game. There is only EVE and the constant struggle to achieve... whatever it is you want to achieve. ---- The Ridley Tree Productions Vault of Videos

I've heard some about it.. still not sure exactly what happens though considering all I've seen are agent missions and some mining. if I can get in the damn game I'll chat it up with yah oh and kinda like FF11 sudder I hate that game you can start over at any time like haha I'm a 3 year old combat titan pilot while being at the same time I'm a production lvl 1 noob :) the grind is just to make the isks to PvP more :) or PVE in the new stuff if you like PVE stuff more you're going to have to wait 6 months for rev two, as they have really been pushing they want to make PVE more of a game becuase right now it's a grind to no end game content lol

So far all I've seen are some large ships.. It's like 5-8 monthes to get some end-game, Eve is really ugly at that side, I mean not friendly to new players. You have to spend 2 mothes to get you Learning skills done and then start training another ones you like. __________________________________________________

Wekiva	Posted - 2007.06.19 22:34:00 - [19] Okay, so that makes sense, this is more of a sandbox-type game rather than level/gear-driven (WoW). That's cool.. a good change. I guess I haven't seen this part of it yet. So far it seems my only options for progression is the agent missions. Mothermoon, cool I got a lot of questions. So for my character, I wasn't sure about the industry/science/economy side of this game.. So I'm sort of devoting my attention to becoming a "Bounty-Hunter" type character.

Mari Onette	Posted - 2007.06.19 22:35:00 - [21] Don't play eve solo. I dont know how I can stress this enough. Get into a corp with people you enjoy being around and who know what they are doing. You don't always have to fly with a partner, but you ALWAYS want a few friends nearby. Furthermore, established players can give you stuff that you wouldn't normally have access to as a noob (skills in particular comes to mind). I know that when I get a friend to join the game, the first thing i do is give them 10m isk to play with. Would I do that for a corp mate I just met? Probably not, but after a few weeks if i like you well enough, sure why not? Corps has a vested intrest in making sure that everyone has the ships and fittings they need to be the best they can. A big reason I continue to play eve is I've got a few people I want vengance on, and I've also got some good friends i enjoy playing with. Without friends and enemies, the game just gets boring. Running missions is a decent way to grind for cash, especially level 4+, but it will eat away at your sanity after a little while.

You can be a jack of all trades. I've got some mining, refining, trade, and science/industry skills under my belt, but most of my SPs are in fighting, and more specifically handing out leadership bonuses. Just depends on what you want to do. ----- Griffin -- 100,000 ISK ECM - Multispectral Jammer Is -- 20,000 ISK Standard Missile Launcher Is -- 10,000 ISK War target sobbing over losing a fight in his T2 fitted Battleship -- priceless

Duke Kessler Caldari Early Assault Recon League	Posted - 2007.06.19 22:37:00 - [24] Ok, I still remember being new (wasn't that long ago) so I'll be nice to the new guy. Like others have said, there is no "end-game" in eve. However, there are different paths you can take. If you like that mining stuff you're doing you could concentrate all your training towards getting the most efficient mining setup. Currently a Hulk is the best you can go, but who knows if that will hold true. Most players, however, eventually join a large corp that has access to 0.0 space and spend most of their time PvPing. In that case I would suggest picking a type of ship you like and work your skills so you are the best pilot you can be. The great thing about EvE is there are easilly hundreds of ways to find "success" and just as many ways to fail. Every career path has the potential to make you rich, and there are new ways to make money that noone has tried yet. But be warned, Eve is a PvP game, at some point you will be drawn into a fight. Be prepared.
Randay 0utbreak	Posted - 2007.06.19 22:37:00 - [25] End game consists of factional warfare against other player driven alliances. Of which there are many aspects that you can choose to participate in, such as diplomacy, pvp, or industry. The end game is also very very dynamic because its player vs player, which is why I think a lot of people choose to say there is no end game.

So I'm sort of devoting my attention to becoming a "Bounty-Hunter" type character. sure thing :) my corp won't be joinable sadly :P were all only our bloodline something :P but our alliance is open to everyone :) maybe I can find someone that will take you in if not we'll hunt one down like eve university or somethign for now by the way joining our allaince means you WILL be blown up a lot :) but you'll learn and die allmost ever and only mine and stuff in systems with allaince members in it that way you never get stuck alone but if you want to explore get a cheap ship that will explode soon :) ratting in 0.0 can be done in a cruiser and a titan while being able to own ships with doomsday will never gun down a cruiser so a non-doomsday titan can't kill a cruiser it kinda plays off this there is no ulitmate ship idea. well there are bigger ships and un-killable situations but basicly :P

Siege Minmatar Siegecraft Bounty Hunting	Posted - 2007.06.19 22:43:00 - [30] Like the other guys said, this game doesn't have the "End Game" type construction to it. But I'll go into a bit more detail to describe it. In other games, you need to reach a certain "level" before you can participate in various areas. Otherwise, you don't stand a chance and everything will kill you. But, on the other hand, as your "level" goes up, other areas become useless to you because you no longer gain experience from them and the enemies are too easy. With Eve, things are different. You can theoretically participate in ANY aspect of the game, right from the start. Yes, you will need to take some time to fill certain roles within various types of activities, but there will still be a job for you in just about every part of this game. The key is to get involved with the right people, that can show you all the various ways you can play the game. Another thing you will find different is that your character can do ANYTHING you want it to do. Yes, you may be a certain race, but that does nothing to restrict you. If you want to go in a different direction at any point, just go! Want to go back to something you used to do? Sure, go for it! There are no level caps, no closed off abilities, no need to reroll a new class of character. The "End Game" begins at the login screen.
