Originally by: techzer0 I wish I got that kind of smacktalk... Last one i got told me he'd drop 3 carriers on me.
Haven't seen him since
One guy told me he was blue to Miz and Miz would drop a mom on me to steal my bounty. His words where something like "with that kind of bounty you bet he will". That's after he refused to pay a 10m ransom for his pod (and a 1000 billion ransom for his tristan)
Made me lol irl.

my advice to noobs is this: spend at least a year skilling up and then think about exploring lo sec.
my character is a trader so after a year of doing what i do best i can now afford to loose the odd ship or two whilest exploring the dangerous areas.
taking a reaper into lo sec and attempting to take on a BS get s ten out of ten for bravery but minus several million for good thinking.
Ladies and gentlemen, we will shortly be experiencing some exploding followed by some crashing...so i'd hold on if i were you! |

That's a really crap advice. My advice for noobs is enjoy the game any way you want and ignore this clueless carebear.

Originally by: Peter Powers Hello everyone, i just killed a new, and after telling me in local what ******* i am (bla bla bla) he told me he wishes i die soon.
now that doesnt realy frighten me much, but the rate of such wishes is sort of increasing. during the last weeks i had about 8 newbs telling me
a) they wish i will die soon or b) they cursed me to die soon or c) they hope for an accident to me to happen.
while im not realy scared about that to happen im seriously wondering what is happening to this GAME - looks like a lot of the new folks arent realy relaxed about it?
regards, pp
just tell them "ni hao" and kill them again

It's all about your attitude when you are killing him and even your tactics. If you consistently get people cursing you and wishing for your death, maybe, just maybe, you're kind of a jerk when you hunt?
It also has to do with the mindset of the victim. I've been ganked plenty of times during my time here in Eve, but I've never lost my cool over it. I usually end up having a conversation with my gankers

Mostly, it is because the new crop of new folks seem to stuff of much more value when they wander into my little pocket of space. Best named lasers on a catalyst, named shield boosters on a hyperion.
Its expensive to buy and lose those mods.
Way back when, I lost plenty of ships, and they were fitted with cheap T1 mods because it was all I could afford at the time. It bankrupted me on occasion, but it wasn't such a steep loss. Now a days, the mods that are getting dropped and destroyed outstrip the cost of the hull they have them badly fitted to. So understandably they are screaming.
Mind you, the tears make excellent diamond chips when they freeze onto the corpses faces when you blow them out of their pod into space. And the screams are an excellent soundtrack as I touch myself in the soft glow of an exploding ship. But those are just the bonus perks to my job as the killer of people others don't want to waste their time killing.

The only other game I know of with a penalty for dying was Diablo 2 when you played on hardcore mode. There death was permanent for your character. Maybe some of our newer players should spend a bit of time giving that game a try to get used to losses. Something you'll suffer a lot of in eve.
Honestly MMO's these days really do encourage mindless pvp. If you can't suffer losses then you don't develop your skill at pvp and learning to estimate your enemies. It's something I truly love about eve. Sadly... not everyone agrees with me hence why carebears and ebil smack ensue =( <----------------------------------> Carebears aren't people, they're giant flying piniatas.

My Advice to noobs is: Don't listen to this guy. Get a frigate and some tackle go to low sec. Find a low sec corp that pew pews in your area and see if you can tag along when they go looking for stuff to explode. You might lose your ship, or you might get some kills. Either way you'll probably have more fun than cowering in empire and you'll probably learn some stuff too. -

The harsh pvp in EvE actually reminds me of the old runescape from like 10 years ago. (yeah used to play that at some point ) Anyway, back in the day, when you made a character there, you had to choose between pk and non-pk mode and could change that status only twice per character. So if you for example started in pvp mode, you could go carebear mode once and then back to pvp mode, and would be locked to pvp mode with that char for the rest of the game.
While you were in pvp mode, any1 could attack you (there was some level restrictions though I think, like only ppl 10 or less levels higher than you could attack you). If you were killed you lost all but your 3 most valuable items. Eventually though that lead to ppl walking around in 3 expensive items and rest of the gear being throwaway stuff. But if you had attacked another player withint 10-15 mins, you'd lose all of your stuff if you were killed.
But then that system was removed, and pvp was only allowed in certain pvp area. I sure hope eve's pvp won't get restricted to some pvp arena due to all the crying.

Edited by: Kritch on 04/12/2007 21:14:01 Meh, first few times I cans flipped I warned other people in local and expressed my anger in corp chat. Now I don't even bother doing that and just get on with things since there is no point giving the flipper the satisfaction of being mentioned in the local channel or irritating your corp by constantly whining every time a can get flipped.
Also managed to lose my Retriever and Mammoth including all the modules due to my own stupidity (Attacked a BS thinking is was an industrial after they flipped my can >.<) but again apart from venting my anger in the corp channel I didn't say anythng in local or try and contact the pirates.
EDIT
I played WoW for over two years and I expect even the the self declared hardcore PvP'ers would flip out every time they got killed.

You can be sure that this guy's idea of a pvp ship doesn't go below tier 1 battleships and he shrugs it off as a unavoidable loss when he gets popped at every gatecamp flying around solo in low sec. Don't listen to this, grab yourself a frigate and go mess something up. (If you get caught in a low sec gatecamp in a frig you are unlucky or you tried to warp to something directly behind you.)

A few weeks ago i killed a guy npcing in a scorp in low sec. I wasi n deimos. He then later convo and smacked the hell out of me swearing cussing ect but no threats. Never had anyone do that to me before so agressively before was a little shocking actually. Normally i look for noobs kill and pod them then send double the isk they lsot for the ship and give them advice. Teaches lesson and helps em ^^ [/url] |

Edited by: Seru Maldus on 06/12/2007 10:37:45 Anyone that will immediately spring to spewing out death threats and curses deserve to be podded. Repeatedly. And then podded again.
Eve Online (IMO) = Survival of the fittest. Ya cant run with the big dogs if you p*ss like a puppy.
One more reason to kill. them. ALL. The larger the influx of those not suited for such a harsh reality will mean more targets for me. And oh god will I revel in every single one of them.

It's great when they start after you got their pod scrammed, you request convo to discuss ransom in a civil manner and they bombard you with insults and threats. Then you just smile and press F1-F8 and listen to that sweet sweet *GOOSH*

you know, so many pirates in this thread say that after they kill a noob they give the noob isk and advice.
i realize that i too have done this on a couple occasions.
maybe i will just make an alt every other week and fly around lowsec doing stupid things to see if i can get a pirate to give me isk.
would that be pirate griefing? or pirate isk farming? either way sounds like fun.

People don't like thieves. Is this news to anyone?
When you blow them up and steal their cargo, that makes you a thief.
In some areas of EVE, like High sec space, it's not a lot different than someone attacking you on a sidewalk and stealing $20 out of your wallet...
Sometimes it's hard to remember this is all just a game.

Nope, they hate thieves actually. I was scouting with my alt and jumped into a lowsec system at the same time as a hauler. I switched over to my main and left my alt cloaked on the gate for a good 15 minutes before I looked over again and lo and a behold... a hauler. The same hauler (I'm thinking bait as 4 carriers had just recently cyno'ed in) But I tell my corp mate and he goes and pops the hauler anyways leaving the pod alone. I decloak my alt fly over to the wreck and snag what loot I can before going back to station... and wouldn't you know, the hauler pilot convos me! Then he proceeds to tell me i'm a ****** **** and how he's going to quit this ridiculous game, without even realizing that a rifter could not kill a hauler on a gate in Lowsec.
I could understand maybe if my alt was part of the same corp as my main, but I've been keeping my alt out of it. Other then the occasional wreck snatching ____________________ Hi. I'm not an alt :) |

Edited by: Tirabi on 06/12/2007 20:58:54 I am embarrassed to admit I flew off the handle the first time I was killed. BUT, it wasn't because I was killed. I knew before I downloaded the game I would die over and over. I was mad because I was killed by 10 people at once camping a gate and then pod killed. I was just amazed at how anyone could think 10 people killing a 3 week old player was the least bit fun; fun that lasted an entire 2 seconds. It's meaningless and pointless. Yes, I know the pirate rule, "If it's not green, shoot it."
Really, if you get your thrills doing that you are no better than the person who wishes you dead. Hey, maybe they were just role-playing and meant in game. LOL And there was no convo after the kill until I messaged the first guy in my kill rights list. He didn't even know who I was or what he'd done. Idiot.
If it helps boost your low self-esteem, then by all means have fun killing care bears.

What's happening? How hard is that to understand?
EVE is not a game for everyone. That's the full and whole reason for noobkillers and griefers getting cursed at.
I'm just starting out with a trial account these days, to see if this game could be something for me to spend time on. And today I lost my first ship. Thankfully, it was something as trivial as a Bantam. But it still annoyed me. I was in 0.8 space, but had looted an abandoned pirate wreck, shot down by a corporation. Five minutes later, I'm mining in the same system, and some guy shows up and guns me down. I call him a jerk. He calls me a thief. I call that a ****ty reason (Looted an abandoned wreck for 100 S Antimatter Charges). He calls me a whiner. Life goes on.
But isn't it obvious that this is going to **** people off? I would characterize most EVE players as pretty "hardcore" gamers, for whom the open PvP and time investment required is perhaps the best part. Most people don't want that though. They want to spend a few hours a day gaming, relaxing. Not protecting their hard earned items and cash from rampaging hordes of bloodthirsty darwinists...
I'm sure there are casual EVE-players out there. But you have to accept that there is a reason WoW has much more mass appeal than EVE. And some of the most important reasons are exactly why people will run their mouth at you for hampering/wrecking their game experience.
Still haven't decided if it's something for me, though I'm afraid I am just that little bit more of a casual gamer than a "hardcore" one. Oh well, extended my account to a full one nonetheless. Gives me a month extra to decide.
