So what am I missing out on? Need some experienced player advice.

shit. I keep hearing this. What will happen once I do, what can I expect? I'm familiar with guilds in wow and stuff. It must be similar?

>>718423804
This.
Nothing sends your game "tits up" quicker than joining a corp.

>>718423881
you can expect the corp leader to fuck with a much bigger corp's shit and end up with 10,000 cunts chasing you all over the place for reasons you will never understand.

Join large 0.0 corp / alliance and find out what the game is actually about. with 8 years of eve behind me i can never stay more then few days in high sec space.

join a corp man
but make sure you get some skills first
good corps usually don't accept brand new players and things like that
stack up some money. if you want to get in low sec/null sec/whole pvp be ready to lose especially if you're still new to the game

aight, I'll make it happen. I know there is more to the game, I just gotta learn it. I'd hate to give up on the shit cause I do love playing it and I need a space game, I just know I've been spinning my wheels lately mostly out of ignorance cause idk wtf to do

>>718423985
yeah I've read articles about some of the shit that goes down. I still don't understand it

>>718424268
>good corps usually don't accept brand new players and things like that

kk. I've been training up skills this whole time, making cash. Sitting on like 40 million isk or something. I know which ships are better for combat, etc that kind of shit.

basicly every time you jump a gate 100,000 jews are burned to make it work

>>718424423
Minmatar jews

>>718424283
I played off and on for a few years. I have joined maybe 5 or 6 different corps all up. It's always better in an active corp. You will need to have vent or team speak.

>>718424474
Vaporising them into a gaseous state increases gate output

>>718424505
How else do you think Jump Fuel works?

>>718424400
it's about the age of your account. people trying to infiltrate their corp and steal or fuck shit up will be using a new alternate account. your biggest hurdle will be convincing them you are legit new player wanting to join them.

also keep you kids away from jita dodgey place it is them slated eyed fucks will sell them into the dark underworld of human trafficking or turn them into bio paste for the capsuleers to eat

>>718424587

These middle school babies are cancer.

I've been in corps focused in Russia, America, and Australia.

Russian corps are filled with cyka blyat but fucking terrifying in PvP. No idea what they said but it's always gonna flood the chat with kills.

Americans are usually filled with corp/alliance leadership siphons that will just use you worse than trump uses a $2 hooker. and you'll be moving home nonstop.

Australians though...They're the scary ones who are second to russians in fear integration. They manage to ride the line and blend psychosis with coherency so they don't die needlessly.

If you can speak russian, find any russian corp, they're all PvP.
If you can speak english, find an aussie one, you'll laugh your arse off.
If you speak both...well. Go by whatever timezone works for you..

Okay first thing's first

High sec is fucking garbage. Don't live there.

Factional warfare space is good if you go to Cal/Gal space, Amarr/Minnie space is cancer

Sovnull is unplayable tidi.

Wormhole space, wormhole space is where the fuck it's at. Less content, but man it's so much more satisfying.

NPC null and non-FW lowsec space are jokes

>>718423707
>I don't have any idea to pvp

Then you're playing the wrong game.

EVE's endgame is pvp while in a corp. Everything else is side activity.

Its now a guild. Its a corp. You are expected to work like in a normal job. You have a boss and he will give you orders and timelines. The difference to real life is, you are not paid with money, but with "fun playing the game". The eve corp will be your new life, forget your rl job if you even have one.

Considering downloading this right now if its F2P, is this shit fun for a total beginner?

Is it graphics intensive as I dont have a graphics card? intel I7 though.

although i see this was released in 2003 so im just gunna assume it will work tbh

Used to play years ago and had 2 accounts both over 150,000,000 SP and both still in starter corps , had no problem doing anything in game but it is such a massive time drain

>>718423707
Get out while you still can... EVE oldfag here. That fucking game is so time consuming it will ruin your life.

If you're looking for something fun still, join a combat corp and get gate BMs to travel safely, then take a good combat setup to 0.0 and shoot stuff. Always align your ship to your exit vector as soon as you warp to a new place, get some stabilizers and you should be able to either assess you opponent and win or run away every time. Also nothing more satisfying than taking away from some fag that spent months mining and refining zyd and popping their hauler.

Miss it sometimes, but the time isn't worth it. Go spend your money on a gym, get swoll fuck bitches. You'll be happier

This is the meme spewed by autists who want the game to be playable solo.
If you're not having fun in a corp you leave, simple.

Walking in Stations.

the game might have been released in 2003, but it gets updates and expansions all the time, its as current gen as current can be.
uses some Physx shit for the characters in station (if you have it on) that can be GFX intensive, but no one uses it.

>>718425440
Dont get me wrong. I like it this way and i dont want this to be a playable solo game. Still, if you want to have big success, power and wealth: you have to take this shit as serious as a job. You think its a fucking game!?

As a beginner I found it easy to learn. The game itself is pretty graphics card friendly, I'm running it on a pc that is about 6yrs old, runs great. There are several settings you can change to improve your performance.
>disable lod
>disable blurry background (in game settings)
>disable camera shake everytime you warp
>high/low texture rates etc

The tutorial gives you a good idea, but when you're new and don't know wtf to do it is easy to
>get lost
right click anywhere in space to bring up stations. or in your neoco use the people and places tab

>get stuck on a quest
idk, it fucks up, or I do, so I have to restart it

>have killed several toons

Took me a couple characters to really get the feel for it, but it was fun the whole time. If you like space, this game is fucking great. Overall I give it a 9/11

>>718425695

Don't really understand what the problem is?

Once you've got knowledge of how the game works you can buy PLEX, sell it and be a billionaire any time. Then you can do big stuff.
I've been terrorising a few lowsec constellations, getting all the gas and DED sites while my POS makes boosters.
All on about an hour a day, three hours when comms are fun.
Yeah it's a game, where it's hard to do anything without making tons of play money.

>>718425900

Not at all, there was no problem, you were talking about "i'm sure it'll be fine, game was released in 2003"

it doesn't have 2003 graphics, it amuses me when people think its going to look like runescape in space

Keep in mind, since every one is telling you to join a Corp., that you might loc. your toon down by joining the wrong side. Which one is right which one is wrong? Both and neither. The prob. in EvE is nobody "trust" nobody and if you do, you usually get scammed.

GrrGoons is such a great thing for the game, letting thousands of hisec shitters think they are involved by blurting GrrGoons every chance they get.
I was in Karmafleet for most of last year, did 20 çeptor fleets in WWB and moved away to do my own thing. Downside, GrrGoons every single day of it from some Literally Who? Upside, you can steal people's stuff from those skin-dropping sites and just sit there, nobody engages because the GSF logo is like Hell's Angels is to suburban joes, strikes fear into em.
Who cares what SA thinks of Goons? Or what anyone thinks of Goons? Look at the fuckin map, everybody skulks in hisec while null is maybe 20%.

Remedial's goons were a bunch of autists who cared too much about the culture to realise that for any alliance to survive it needs to expand.

Yeah, I have my doubts about mittens. But the current gsf has done more for me than any other alliance in the game, and I've been around. Goons know how to have fun even when they're losing. More importantly, they know how to make everyone else hate them, and that's hilarious.

I must say, I don't know where all these accusations that we don't fight come from. I sure as hell have been in plenty of fights since I joined gsf.

>>718426601
Normally downtime is about 10-15 minutes each day, today something fucked up so it's taking a while.

>>718426484
This. Without goons the game would have died. WWB brought it back from the brink.

You guys got any tips what to do for beginners?

>>718426710
Work your way up to level 4 missions, train for a vector/VNI/ishtar because they are good pve ships, and when you can join a null corp, do they. You'll make good isk in nullsec and get some fun fights.

Remember, karmafleet is recruiting.

HERO coalition fought harder than you guys when they had PL camping on their doorstep.

TESCO fought tooth and nail for their space for over three months against the same forces that you guys lost to.

When you tried to invade Provi last year they put up such stiff resistance that Mittens pulled a Bush and said mission accomplished after you took a couple of ihubs and lost the rest of the fights.

Literally every other corp in the game fought for their space. This isn't even grrgoons shit, I flew with goonswarm for a year and a half in asshole squad before realising that goonwaffe proper is basically just a bunch of carebears that really can't fight for shit.

Irrelevant, they didn't retreat to lowsec at the first sign of failure. I remember seeing the battlereports for the CO2 staging fight, goons sent like 40 members to a 3000 person fight.
