Dunk Mujunk RestlessSpirits 370	Posted - 2013.12.07 17:43:00 - [1] - Quote Nah, you're not doing anything wrong Vilstan. You are getting what I always liked to call "garbage time" points. Hacking anything, no matter what it is, if you think you are clear, switching to your Anti-Armor starter fit to blow up lone red turret installations, things like that. If your team is trying to blow something that you are hacking up, don't worry about it, get that hack in, you need the SP. This game is very brutal, and if you forum search some of my first posts, I had the same general feelings that you do, and I still do for the most part. But it gets better. it doesn't get better quick, but it gets better. The best thing you can do in all truthfulness is to work on your Core skills (Dropsuit Upgrades), and specialize into a role early on. Don't spread your SP all over the place to start, it will make it take that much longer to start being effective. On the comms issue, you really won't ever hear anyone talking in matches, unless you are in a Corp/Squad. If you join a match on your own, you have no squad (you are lone wolf-ing it). Pretty much anyone else who is lone wolfing is doing so on purpose, and they don't want to talk to anyone. Everyone who does want to talk, for the most part, is a member of a corporation and they are either in squad chat, or corp chat, which is why you cannot hear them. If you are looking for a Corp, drop me a line in game or here on the forums, or just go ahead and apply to RestlessSpirits, we can get you running with squads and get you some help with all facets of the game. Dust University is also a great beginners corp from what I've understood, and they sport much larger numbers than us here at RestlessSpirits. Anyway Vilstan, don't give up. For better or worse, that is the first test. Can you put up with all the bullsht being a new player entails lol? But it gets better (until it gets worse in different ways, but that's a conversation for when you start approaching around 10mil SP lol). Good luck, and if I don't hear from you, I hope you find a Corp to call home and are with us here in Dust for the long haul (or until we all commit mass suicide in protest to CCPs lolFPS). P.S.- Active scanners should be under Equipment or something like that. I'll go check right now. Every time I try to walk away, something makes me turn around and stay, and I can't tell you why Eagles* Dust Tribute
