Short answer: probably not long but totally depends on what you enjoy. Long answer: "PVP" is a flexible term in most MMOS; moreso in Eve. Solo roaming, small-group roaming, large-group roaming, organized fleet ops in null, general jspace shenanigans which take a different skill set, faction...

Thats true -- Incursions involve some degree of waiting around. Far less so if you become known within the community as a proactive player that can handle a few of the roles that need more than locking and F1. That being said, you can always wait-list yourself then handle other Eve duties...

Yea pretty much. At this point, the community has it down to a science. They've developed optimal fleet comps and built up 3rd party apps. To join an Incursion team, you pretty much go build a ship according to the template they give you and then ask to be put on a waitlist. Sit around...

That being said, do what's fun. Many people are so bored of pre-map content that anything to get out of it is worth it, but a newer player taking it slow and enjoying himself is likely having more fun anyway than the powergamer on his 200th playthrough.

I imagine many of them are happier-than-ever making 99 percent risk free ~150m/hr in Incursion fleets. Can't think of any substantial changes to missioning, but the only people doing that are the absolute anti-socials... I don't think there is any feasible way a missioner can come even close to...

People seem really impressed with Survival. Totalbiscuit said it's the best king-of-the-hill around -- noting that its competitors are buggy and in perpetual pre-release... Thinking of grabbing this just to check that out.

Gotcha -- yes, I very much recommend you practice in a T1 exploration frigate and move up to a Covert Ops frigate. If you're wealthy and don't care about losing Cov Ops ships then skip the T1. You'll need decent scanning skills, Cloaking IV to use Cov Ops cloak, and preferably...

You'll want to practice exploration, first. Get comfortable navigating jspace before you bring an expensive ship in. Basics like: keeping track of your chain, making safe spots, figuring out the local climate, being super-fucking vigilant when uncloaked... Frankly, unless you're looking for...

Especially in today's climate with the uncertainty regarding health care costs. Military healthcare isn't the best in the world, but it isn't bad, either. My wife is active duty -- I had a hernia surgery a few years back. Scheduled an appt, had a NP check the "bump", got scheduled for a...

What in the fuck? So, Hillary will be a terrible president and 1) expand the wealth gap, 2) worsen relations with the only country other than us capable of ruining the planet, 3) negatively impact health care. But Trump will shitpost on Twitter and the "powers that be will orchestrate whatever...

What'd you do?

It's $17. And buying it now gives you all champions in perpetuity, even when it launches as F2P.

Yea this is good shit. Linked it to a few buddies and they all instantly bought it. @turbo this may be your jam you smite fiend.

For a solo self-found playstyle, whats the fastest way to unlock maps on the atlas that have been "left behind". Like, I've got some holes in there. I'm not sure how the map drops are calculated now. I may just say fuck-it and buy them but I'm curious if there is any way to "target" my...

Melee is in bad shape. I'd highly suggest any new player to learn the game with spell or bow.

Each endurance charge you have makes you tankier: 4 percent phys damage reduction, 4 percent resist all per charge. Note: 4 percent phys damage reduction is huge. Some passives give added benefits per charge. Players typically can only have 3 charges max, but through the passive tree or items...

My father enjoyed leveling in WoD but, ultimately, grew bored at endgame because he doesn't care for raiding. He liked some 5-man content, and also spent a fair amount of time roaming around collecting random stuff. His preference is hard solo content. What does Legion offer a player like him?

Should have done it a while ago, but honestly, at this point in Eve's life cycle, I can't imagine there exists an untapped demographic of people who are interested in a game like Eve but didn't want to play past the 21 day trial due to the $15/mo. By and large, most potential players have heard...

What were you looking for with the end-game revamp? I've never really pushed into end-game in any of my PoE run-throughs, so I'm not aware of what the typical issues are.

10 min to go and I still have no idea what I want to roll. #firstworldproblems

Yea guys, play the seasonal league. All your stuff moves to Standard at the end of it. but the vast majority of the player base will be in the seasonal leagues for at least the first month of the season.

So, what league and build are you guys all rolling with?

I wish this game wasn't so damn convoluted. I can dig it but I'd never convince my wife to give it a shot. It's got a lot going for it but holy fuck, there is no way she'd go for this over Destiny.

Google for "Planetary Interaction". It's like afk mining done on planets. My setup was making 10 bil a month with about an hour of upkeep required every 2 days. That's somewhat extreme, though... most people probably don't run that many planets.

Please don't take this as criticism, but is there any reason why you aren't considering using your GI Bill?

Or, you can drop a POS in an abandoned hole (there are many) and treat it like a little garden. Plant some POCOs and set up PI, leave a relic site up and kill explorers. Scan out your neighbors and lay an ambush. Run your own sleeper sites when things are quiet. Jspace doesn't have to be a...

I think that's what burns me out every time I play. As a generally solo player who doesn't min-max to the extreme, I've always generated far more profit just mindlessly wiping out easy content as opposed to actually challenging myself (and slowing the clear rate). I'm not sure what the...

Eve is a sandbox and I've done a lot of random stuff in Eve. There really is no endgame. It's just player-defined goals. If your goal is "have the most expensive ship possible" then it's totally possible to do that with Visa and no one gives a shit. If I dropped 10k buying shit in Eve and...

@a_skeleton_03, the term end-game item applies to themepark MMOs in which you grind up a treadmill. I don't think that concept translates very well to a sandbox in which the game is what you make of it. I do think there is cause for concern regarding the economy, but that's for the devs to...

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell Genre: Drama, Fantasy First Aired: 2015-05-17 Overview: With magic long since lost to England, two men are destined to bring it back; the reclusive Mr. Norrell and daring novice Jonathan Strange. So begins a dangerous battle between two great minds...

"People who have different opinions than me are the reason why gaming is so fucked up." You say conditioned, I say "aware that nothing is ever fair." I have a buddy that works from home and plays 12+ hours a day, every day, in whatever MMO currently fits his fancy. Pragmatically, it is...

Context matters, man. Is SCO a sandbox or a linear quest/raid grind? Like I said a few days ago, no Eve players give a shit if you whip out your Visa and drop 10k. You can't "win" Eve, and there is no race that anyone is participating in. It seems to me that SCO is going way more "Eve-style...

I can't really answer that without knowing what you're looking for. I've never joined a null corp because that style of pvp seems largely zerg-based and it isn't my cup of tea.

Nah; it's a fallacy to treat P2W as a boolean. Non-Eve players call Eve P2W because you can freely exchange USD for in-game currency. You can freely purchase characters. Someone could Visa their way into any character+ship they want in Eve. People familiar with Eve don't think of this as...

Depends on the wormhole. The C1-C3 all have kspace connections, either high/low/null. The C4-C6 do not. Different groups will handle logistics differently, but the standard way to play is keep the ships you'll need out there as well as refits. Sometimes your hole will have an easy connection...

Jspace (wormholes; called j because the systems start with j) is awesome. I'm taking a break but my last Eve stint lasted 5 months. Ran 4 accounts and set up a POS in an empty C3. Made billions off PI/gas/sleepers. Had a great time, killed a lot of explorers and got a few nice kills in a...

People read about keto, cut out the freight loads of trash food they've been injecting daily into their gullet daily since they were 20, lose 10 lbs of water weight in a few days, and praise jebus and begin preaching the amazing benefits of keto. After a week, the realities of weight loss begin...

No. There is a popular youtube channel in which a pvp vet goes out and solos people on a new account. By far, the largest cockblock to pvping is actual game knowledge. An analogy would be playing LoL at a decent level requires a modicum of knowledge on the 100 champs in the game. No way...

Going to buy an Xbox One S to play games with my wife. She's a big fan of Destiny, but isn't very good. I don't think she was having a good time doing the group content because she felt like she was letting people down. What kind of things can we do as a duo? My understanding is that there...

Oh I know man. Men who have never touched a weight or done any form of labor in their life necessarily have much less core/lower body lbm. My brother is 6'2 145 and (obviously) looks like a hungry skeleton. To him, weighing 195+ is unfathomable because it's easier for him to intuitively put a...
