Eve where have you been all my life? (Review)

PVPKing

I'm new to EVE. I've been playing 2 weeks now and I want to tell you about my experience.

- Character Creation

I create my character and my protrait. The character customization is incredible, in depth & and I had a great time with making my character unique as possible.

- Tutorial

After making my guy I was docked at a station.  I did the tutorial which showed me the basics of the game, flying, shooting, targeting and much more.  Combat vs the npc is very tactical and strategic.

- After running a few missions. 

I kind of get the hang of the game and start to fly around jumping from system to system.  I see a player with their name flashing yellow/orange.  So guess what I do? I transfer 100 isk to him (isk is money).  I'm bored at this point and not sure what to do.  About 15 minutes later this guy starts a private conversation with me. He is like why did you give me 100 isk? I told him I was bored and how there wasn't much social interaction in this game.  HE PROVED ME WRONG.  He invited me into a corporation channel where I start to get to know other players.  I start learning about skill management, standings and how to handle ships in combat.  They helped me get a nice frigate (Kestrel Missile Launcher). I go and start running missions for money.  I even ran a few higher level missions with the corp which was extremely fun.

- Joining a corporation

This is where the game shines.  When you are in a corporation of players everyone is striving to help each other out and make each other stronger.  Don't worry you can solo pvp and group pvp very effectively with the right ship.  The whole game changed from here. 

- At first I was in a frigate, now a week and a half later I'm in a Cruiser

I'm in a cruiser ship.  It is above a frigate.  I went pvp'ing with my corp and my job in the fleet was to damper enemy players in low security space. I would damper and warp disrupt enemies so they couldn't get away and he would pop them.  There friends would keep coming in and we would keep destroying them.  So much fun. 



- The Highlight of my 2 week experience

With my little ole cruiser I was able to help my corporation destroy an ENEMY DREADNOUGHT which is one of the strongest most powerful ships in the game.  The ship is in charge of destroying stations, think of the death star but a big ship.  We end up blowing it up!  I put damper and disrupt on it and shot it.  My ship couldn't do much damage but I could still damper & disrupt the ship so it couldn't get away.  Other people had the same warp disruptors on the enemy ship.  The battleships in our corporation were just blasting it.   After a very long time (20 minutes) the ship finally blew up.  Guess what happened in 20 minutes?  The enemy player called in reinforcements from his corp and they kept warping in and we kept destroying them one by one.

HERE IS  A SCREENSHOT.  AFTER 2 WEEKS I ENDED UP IN A CRUISER AND HELPED MY CORPORATION TAKE DOWN A DREADNOUGHT.

I LOVE EVE ONLINE

hi are you LuzAris? I think ive seen your posts at a few places. welcome bro

yeah people are great in EVE. they escourted me to 0.0 where I salvaged some ships and made a living. then came back from 0.0 other day to pickup some new skills, killed like a few rats and got a drop worth a lot of ISK. now im in the battlecruiser I always wanted

life is good thank god we got a good PVP MMO to play.

 

weird u did not think of ppl as social. I guess what u meant is ppl dont really seem to group with randoms often. but after u join a corp you'll find yopurself in gangs often

Welcome to EVE.

 

good writeup and to me it shows how usefull the layered fleet is. a fleet needs newbies to join in and take up some of the necisary utility roles so the older players can concentrate on gank. It also completly wipes the floor with the argument that i see a lot against eve which is that due to there being no endgame lvl cap a new palyer can't eevr aspire to be as good as a long term player. its a falacious argument because a new player can take a pivital role in destroying billions of isk worth of shipping.

Outstanding review. I personally have 3 weeks under my belt. I have a cruiser, hauler, battlecruiser and salvager and several million ISK. People think this game is too hard, it isn't. It just requires you get used to the UI and the environment difference.
