Is EVE worth getting into?
>>
>>333264543
No.
>>
If you're autistic and like games with no actual gameplay while being perpetually behind anyone who has played for years yes.
>>
No, you are too late.
>>
Only if you're okay with probably not getting anywhere near where you want and enjoy ambient music while warping between jumpgates.
>>
>>333264543
If you have an hour or two free most evenings and it's the only thing you really play.

You've got to invest time to get the most out of it, but if I could only ever play ONE game for the rest of my life this'd be it.

It really isn't. I've played it for about 2 and a half years and after the 1st one it felt more like a chore than a game.

Progress is also very slow even with the offline training of skills. After 6 months your character is still useless, while in a normal MMO after 6 months with 2 hours of play a day you can make a maxed out character and actually enjoy the end-game content.

You need to immediately find a corporation to join and start interacting with people, otherwise you will burn out in 2 weeks.

Don't do mining.

Make sure you get a referral from someone that will give you the bulk if not all of the bonuses from it. You will have cash for a while to waste on low end ships.

I've had at least half a dozen friends I've tried to drag into the game and every single one fell into the mining meme, subsequently burning out weeks after.

There is nothing to mining, you just sit and afk. If you absolutely must do it, at least train up to make it exciting by jumping around low/null for rarer stuff/gas/ice.
>>
>>333264543
Nope. Go play literally any other space game instead

>>
>>333266916
Mining is fine down the road but it's often been a trap for newbies because it's something you can do immediately to start earning money.

If you want to try mining, I would still advocate to find a corp first and get your feet wet into the community. Most notable corps have mining ops which are 100x more fun than doing it alone.

Just try a trial to see if you like it. It's not for everyone, and a lot of the people who shit on it fail to understand it's not an action sim. It's an RPG and doesn't pretend not to be.

>>333268964
It's probably the lowest isk/time conversion you can do. Safest and steadiest, but lowest.

Even with a few mil saved up you can fit a bunch of cheap exploration ships and multiply that very quickly, and have fun and excitement at the same time.
>>
>>333269135
Exploration is way too random.
You can either hit a jackpot, or go 10 hops without a single scannable site.
>>
>>333269135
>fit a bunch of cheap exploration ships and multiply that very quickly

Please continue
>>
>>333264543
Its an amazing game but too time consuming, not worth it imo. Played it for like 6 months around the time Incarna came out, and there were the Occupy Jita protests. Recently tried to get back into it, fell asleep after a few days.
>>
>>333269480
>find cheap exploration fit
>train exploration skills
>jump into null and start looking

Exploration isn't that hard and it can really teach a new player skills that will keep them alive in other aspects of the game, like dscanning, learning wormholes, and knowing how to get around null safely.

As >>333269226 said it CAN be random but to me that's part of the excitement to it, that you're looking for that next site that hits jackpot. And if you stay devoted you WILL average out better than mining.

>>
>>333270440
Go find a WH that dumps into null somewhere.

That shit happens though, and people will actively go out and find explorers to kill.

Gotta keep that dscan up.
>>
>>333269480

Find a low traffic lowsec area with good relic and data sites (Sansha, Angel, Serpentis(?), whichever drops armor plates and capacitor console)

Learn the basics of scanning and hacking and go explore. The rewards are much higher in lowsec but the risk should be tolerable for a newer player with some isk saved up. Just got to learn the basics of how not to get caught, use local, D-scan, cloaks, safe spots.

A cheap exploration ship is maybe 5Mil and you can easily recoup the cost in one site. Of course loot is all RNG so you can make 100M or a couple mil in one trip.

EVE is an incredible game and a terrible game at the same time.
>>
It's the most interesting boring game.

No game was ever had so much freedom. It's so free that the lore and history is basically written entirely by player actions. The events of the game could be turned into sci-fi novels and space opera shows.

However, most of that happens offscreen and the ramifications of a huge war aren't directly visible, since they're mostly just in numbers.
>>
>>333271393
There is no comfier feeling than autopiloting the high sec Jita-Dodixie route and watching other truckers go about their business.
Bonus points if you manage to warp at the same time as one of them.

anyone in this thread that has said:

are not just plebs in EVE, they're plebs in gaming as a whole, unable to see past "who has the most X", "who has the best X"

instead of just having fun, or being creative and making a name for themself in another way, they'll sit around and cry about how they dont have the most skillpoints

i can guarantee that these people are pve miner plebs in eve who are too scared to go into lowsec, let alone do any actual pvp, because if they did some real pvp, theyd know that having more sp doesnt mean shit, its all about experience and tactics

The Veldnaught is a massive sub-carrier capital ship that was re-purposed for the sole purpose of mining low-grade ore in newbie areas High-sec.

It's been there for literal years and almost serves as a living tourist attraction.

>>333272675
I did 3 months, I liked it but you basically have to learn 2 games.

You have to learn how to play EVE first, then you have to learn how people play EVE, which is arguably the epitome of 'GIT GUD'.

It's good because everything that goes on is completely unique, it's its own world, and you have the potential to make an impact, however big or small it is. It's not what skills, ships or weapons you have, it's about how you play that counts.

What's bad is that it's slow as shit and groups have adapted to that. Null-Sec corps camping gates for the occasional kill, fleets roaming around home territory just to chase off the occasional hyena. Even exploration, which is probably the most fun way to learn survival solo involves so much waiting around and scouting just to be sure you won't get swatted.

I made some good isk doing prospective hauling.

Use eve-central trade tool and know which deals are lucrative and have a good route. It's pretty decent income for mild attention paid.

Blockade runners are really handy for PI and supplying a main character with ships and mods too.
>>
>>333274574
I wanted to ferry packages because I'm no economist but that market's all dead outside of the billion-isk-colleteral 6 gorrilion tons hauls. At least back when I played.

Can you get a cloak drive on a trial account? I really enjoyed skirting trought nullsec salvaging wrecks but I'm too cheap to pay 15 bucks for a month's subscription.
>>
>>333273647
get a webbing frigate and a freighter and do highsec curior contracts. Crazy money going from jita to amarr but the risk is just as crazy. 9 bill on collateral for three contracts to make 400mill with code casing you all the way.
>>
>>333274791

>i can guarantee that these people are pve miner plebs in eve who are too scared to go into lowsec

Trial player here, when I went into lowsec I got shot down. If you suggest shit like that to newbies just so people like you have another target then this game should not be started by anyone new.
>>
>>333274890
You're risking 9 billion to make 400 million? A 4.5% return on your "investment"? That's just not right - you can get a better return with zero risk just by filling buy orders with items from different regions (I used to average 15 to 20% ROI)

Spent around 2 years in total on it, not consecutive, always get bored because the gameplay is just not much fun. The concept and general idea is great, everything is unique and different from other games, but it really becomes a second job, everything takes so much time to do. The actual fun bits are drowned out by work and chore, I think the game forgets it's a game too much and it really becomes a waste of time. Simpliest example would be traveling - it is indeed realistic and adds to the scope of the game, but.... do you really want to spend 30 minutes on mindless 'right click-warp to' every 20 seconds for every two hours you play? You can forget about playing this for 3 hours a day, if you want to do anything serious you need to spend days on end. The game is demanding, but not in a way that makes it interesting, it's just a time sink.
I hate other grindy mmo's as well, but they at least allow you to jump in play, then quit whenever you like. In Eve, for everything you do you need to spend a lot of time to prepare, then you can't just quit in the middle of it, you will just lose stuff. Enjoy recieving a parcel while there's a fight going on. Sure, your party might get wiped in wow, but in eve you just now have to work instead of having fun to replace it.

I started mining, but very quickly realised it's indeed boring as fuck.

I then did exploration, and it was fun for a while, but got burned out of that too. I did learn a lot of useful tricks (making safespots, properly using dscan, etc.) in just a few days though.

But exploration isn't all that great. I've spend literal hours in wormholes and nullsec, without finding anything worthwhile. Other times, I found shit worth 100mill in minutes.
>>
>>333278569
3 fucking mill are you serious? Those ships use to cost 30k. You could go out blap one rat and you would have more money than the ship is worth.

>>333279032
So how much is the hull? 300k? thats ten times the isk. How are new players meant to start from scratch? Going out and killing rats that i assume have the same 40k bounty from 2006. I mean you mined veld in an ibis in the starter system for an hour till you had 30k, got a condor and popped a few rats till you could get a harpy.

Also its a condor why would you fit something to its thats not shit? T2 mods are for nice things that are worth QQing over after they pop.

Couple mil, easy. I could afford to replace my shitty freighter whenever it got blapped so replacing a fucking atron or a condor wouldn't be too costly either.

Depends on who you are. My friend started on a trial account then started cruising low sec after he subbed. After a few days he found a guy in a rookie ship and scanned him down, dude had 90 PLEX in his hull. My friend bluffed him into dropping half of it with nothing more than a lock on. He used that plex to get me and the others into the game. We fucked about and had some fun and later down the track he began to piss money up the wall on wtf fits until this happened.
https://www.themittani.com/news/alod-potentially-trolling-phantasm
The leader of the corp chewed him out, which pissed him off and lead to him doing this.
https://zkillboard.com/kill/47835031/
http://evenews24.com/2015/07/15/eveoganda-the-perils-of-open-recruitment/
To top it all off he managed to scam the pilot of the ship that killed him to buy his plex for around 700 bucks, plex he no longer had and as a result got banned.
All in all a pretty fun time.
>>
>>333279951
You are right I am way behind on this. I bet t2 has gone down in price as well. Still wouldnt put a module on a ship if it was worth more than the hull itself. Its a general rule i had but there were exeptions.

I'm one of the guy who r/eve gave some isk but come on my skin isn't that thick to keep asking for free isk. What about letting the new player learn to risk management?

Whatever glory days it had were passed almost a decade ago. It's dead, and wasn't even good when alive.

I can't go back and it kills me. Never join wormhole corps, it will ruin the game for you.

Those guys are still fucking going? they still hold provi? They must be the only goup never to be pushed out of their little pocket of space.
>>
>>333281593
They have, they just wait till the holding corp gets bored and then re take it. They are the biggest autist carebare fucks in EVE and I will forever hate them for that.

He would "bump" hi-sec miners which although annoying as all hell, is also legal.

You had to pay him a fee or he would continue to bumb, some would get furious and turn off safeties, he would then BTFO you.

Goons are always the bad guys

how similar is eve online to legend of the galactic heroes?

are Amarr ships still bad? I mean they had a few good ones, but it was almost always preferable to fly something else? They are the best looking though.

No, its boring even in wormholes which are objectively the most fun places to live. Too much farming and not enough killing people

that's like going fishing then bitching because there's nothing to do but fish while sitting on a boat in the middle of a lake

Can you use it via Steam or an outside download from their website?
>>
>>333291485
Don't use Steam, it fucks with certain in game services like API's

You can use steam but you shouldn't

James315 is the ultimate spy, ruse master, ganker, what ever

You *will* initially be discouraged because the world is so huge and there is so much to do and so many people to envious of. If you stick it out, find a good corp, and find a niche like space-trucking or station trading, the fun you have will pay out the more time you put in

This

Things NOT to do

Don't get sucked into missions excessively, some 50% of players that stick with EVE do nothing but missions (quests), less than 10% actually take it upon themselves and go to low or null.

Don't mine minerals, its awful and boring.

Don't give up when you die because you can just get back up again really easy

don't fly anything you can't afford

>>333292209
James315 is his "main character" he builds and uses alternate characters and accounts for his spying

James315 became reknown for his ganking and highsec fuckery with casuals pouring anger and salt all over him its hilarious.

Just look up Buttonz on steam should be the first one.

>>333270909
Well I'm guessing it was a lame figure of speech.

More like "no actual gameplay when compared with other popular MMOs" is what he actually meant. And considering the gameplay of "other popular MMOs", it might give the hesitating player the idea of what to expect.

The only "original" aspect about the gameplay is the working player economy spinning-off, dependent of the economy: the politic (which is mostly epeen flashing). The "Piloting a Space ship" part of EvE is what would be called "gameplay" in most games. It consists on jumping to the next gate or automatically orbiting something at optimal range while you auto attack. It has more to it when it comes to fleet battles as well as utility equipment and ships for those but the involvement in the battle never truly change.

What most people call original about EvE could easily fit into a browser game. The rest is either extremely simple and boring or excruciatingly long and boring.

I recently resubbed after 3 years or so away, only had around 6 mil skill points. So i used 4 skill injectors to train about 30 days worth of training and got to around 8 mil skill points. Still can't fly the PVP ship i want so have to wait even more days for that, and then there is the fact that there are other things i need to train for as well. And that's really my problem with the game, all the fucking training and then you need to train even more because you forgot about some skills.

Right now i am in a null sec corp and kill bots at sites to earn some isk, but the profit ain't too great because it takes a long time because of my shitty drones. So guess i have to train even more to get better ones.

Thanks for reading my blog post, but point is that if you want to have fun except to train for quite some time to have it. It's almost like i am considering, even if i stop playing again - To just continue training skills and skills because otherwise i'll regret it two years down the line when i try to play again and could have finished training some great ships.
>>
>>333293762
That was my mistake. It showed up first on mine so I assumed it was that was for others.
>>
>>333293925
Also i was also thinking about how nothing have really changed since i last played in 2013 gameplay wise. With all the upcoming games i wonder why no other space dev have tried doing the same as CCP with eve online? Imagine eve online with actual ship combat ala the one we've seen in elite or star citizen?
>>
no the only appeal is being strung along the skinner box or promises of content that will not pan out

the moment you say "i want to do *x*, but that will have to wait until after *y*..." you should quit
>>
>>333295665
>this somewhat
At least in other MMOs you know it will take time but you can also reach lvl 60 and have fun things without having to wait several months
>>
>>333295819
>At least in other MMOs
anon, those are scams too
>>
>>333295906
I don't know. I play swtor and can reach 60 somewhat quick, do pvp get nice gear somewhat quick, and not be less much less equal than a guy that started 3 years ago.
>>
>>333292909
>automatically orbiting something at optimal range while you auto attack
Can oversimplify, but..

Does it honestly seem like that's true? Ships just show up and click a button and watch? It's actually a lot like an ARPG.. clicking in space and going that direction, with the same piloting manuevers as standard flying.
>>
>>333296074
>Ships just show up and click a button and watch?
in very large battles yes, that is the whole eve experience in a nutshell.

For small gangs and solo pvp things are quite different.
>>
>>333296342
Prove that's true, then, and that they're at no disadvantage.
>>
Well i don't think there are other MMOs getting books written about them.

But its not for everyone, and you need social skills unlike most anons here.
