Day one: First game was incredibly fun. Player academy put me up against people in the same gear i was wearing and my skill showed. First person shooters give people with some relative skill a good time. 44/9 out the door of the academy and to the bears. Played another six games and went to ask questions on the forums. Was dirrected to find a corp and also to "get gud".
Day two: Joined a corp. Played a few games with them and had a relatively better time in general. Corp logged off after a few matches that we were able to play and I was left solo. So after a few games of getting the **** kicked out of me I said **** it and logged off. I dont need to beat my head into a wall.
Day three: Learned to fly a dropship! I took to these things rather well and have been complimented several times on the way I fly them. However I still lost quite a few ships to av rail tanks sitting back nowhere to be seen. Lost most of my isk this way despite having fun flying around the maps. No points to speak of from flying these ships however as nobody will stay in the guns and I dont have access to anything more advanced than gorgons and vipers.
Day four: met nyan san...all ******* day...Quit out after an hour of playing feeling like I had been barred from the game.
Day five: specced into advanced combat rifles. Still forced to play with lower tier rifles due to cost per fit and lack of steady income in game due to player lockout from even pub matches.
Day six: Realised most of my sp investment was somewhat pointless. Rather depressed about the game in general
Day seven: Learned that I dont like tanks. Or heavies...or anything with over 600 armor in general. Finally hit weekly sp cap.
Start of week two: Swapped my tank modules out for recharge things. Same time until death but could actually pop in and out of cover to at least defend an objective. Cant find squad to play with.
week two day two: find out that the rdv driver is an *******. He drops my dropships three times in a match from at least 50 meters up, killing them each time on impact...then when i get one in the air, comes in carrying another vehicle for someone else and swats me out of the sky. I take his plate number and intend on breaking his ship at some point. Stomped by better gear all day long. Managed to get a few kills here and there. K/d has dropped below levels that are acceptable to me.
Week two day three: log on and notice I dont have enough isk to restock my ten suits i keep in stock. Remember the night before and try and run free kits to get some isk. First three matches are against queue synced corps. Constantly stomped in the face over and over. Log off highly frustrated.
Week two day four: Finally get in a squad with a few players. Have three wonderful games where I was able to support my team with my commando. Got to rep some people. Made enough isk to finish out refits. Squad dispersed after a few matches. Proceeded to get my ass kicked and sent hatemail from teammates telling me to get better. Funny, I was top of the endgame report on that team...400 points total. Yay...
Week two day five: Decided to try tanks for a little while. Rdv driver dropped my tank on the roof of some building...got there after a friendly took it and drove off. Proceeded to run into combat without vehicle and just let the ****** have the vehicle. See my vehicle explode...die a little inside.
Week two day six: Get spawnkilled in the deployment less than 20 seconds into the match by a dropship running xt1 missiles. Wonder how he got there that quickly. This set the tone for the day. Cant find a squad most of the day. Ended up quitting very early, the rest of my experience playing out that this game just doesnt want me in it.
Final day of two weeks: Spec into level 4 combat rifles and gain access to assault combat rifle. Load up a fit with the rifle and see what the thing is all about. First game I got one kill then proceeded to die 5 times in a row without my weapon fireing for some reason despite seeing the animation. Lost money. Tried again and got a few more kills, no support and still lost money. Final match, every player on my team was afking behind our deployment zone running in circles inside the ship with me and a single squad mate out fighting 3 tanks and a boatload of prototype mercs. Most were heavies. No chance to push past the line whatso ever.
The game has barred me pretty much entirely from playing and doesnt seem to get any better. To those that got here early enough to not have to deal with the **** im seeing and feeling every match that i play, your lucky. To those that are feeling the same that i am, go throw things at ccp buildings. (dont actually do that.)
To everyone else, good game...or not...this game doesnt seem to be anyway. |

That sounds like a pretty accurate rundown of a fresh mercs time in New Eden. All I can say is try Factional Warfare. Use th etime in the warbarge to squad up. You will be facing better players most of the time in FW but at least your team MIGHT be helpful. Good luck.
I spent half my ISK on gambling, alcohol and wild women. The rest I wasted.

I remember my first day of playing.
Made a fit in the fittings menu and it was red and wouldn't let me use it. After 10 minutes I gave up. Played a few games re-tried making my fit. Still red. Got really annoyed, so stopped playing.
So I quit the game for a couple days, then I got really bored and had absolutely nothing to do. Saw dust was still on my PS3 so I thought I'd have a little go and try the game agin.
Went to my fits, my fitting was still there and still red.
It then dawned on me....

its only decent on certain servers(oceania).
most of the proto scrub stompers do seem to be complete dicks.that cry if they ever die once in any game mode by anything "less" than proto.
the more empty servers are alot more fun.u might not find anything to shoot at in some matches but its better then getting killed over and over..just try to stay back and not run into the major slugging areas. and if u do so. make sure your coming from some where that isnt covered with gun fire. as to so u can hope to get the drop on your enemies.
mlt vets are eternal. they shall be the bane to proto scrubs everywhere...

You can chalk this up to CCP's "New Arden is a harsh place". A mentality that is dooming this game and, actually, has already doomed it to never succeeding.
Unless they get their act together. I've said it before CCP, you can get away with it in EVE. There are no games like EVE. There are lots of shooters that people can go to. All of them better right off the bat.
You gots to do so,etching about this. You don't grow an audience by making the game impenetrable. Unless, you give them an avenue to play that isn't PVP or, like EVE, you can't get the game anywhere else. |

It's more important to spec into powergrid / cpu, armor plates/shield extenders than it is to spec into suits or weapons... You can end up spending 2m sp to get your proto suit and go 'yeah everything will be awesome now' and then only have basic shield extenders / plates to put on it, or when you get the complex modules not have enough cpu/pg.
the 'easiest' way to get into this game is to run militia caldari heavies (just skill 1 point into the HMG) and save up SP while you decide what you actually want to do. |

edit: i have noticed an increase in scrub activity around on my preferred normally empty server.so take caution. Joined oceania servers and ran into the same thing... |

For what it's worth I'll send you some isk in the morning after I get back from work. I notices in your post that you have access to a commando suit; try joining Commando Squad chat channel, we run squads often from there. Factional warfare is better for getting into squads, but you have no isk payout so I doubt how useful that will be to you right now.
I had the same issues as a new player too, and one of the ways I was able to turn a profit was to run a suit with an advanced uplink equipment in Ambush. Drop them down and wait for the proto stompers to muller your team. They respawn, and you profit with war points. Hardly honourable, but it's a living.
Active corps are a must. I hope things get better for you OP.

I sir, was the blueberry or blueberries when I started. hahaha! i remember going through this exact same thing when i first started to play this game. man, back then, you didnt have the academy, you just got tossed into the lions den without even a good luck. i quickly learned to stay away from the orange eyed-black suit monsters.i was too stubborn to quit and over a year later, here i am, completely jaded, but still capping out everyweek cause i gotta get my fix

How are you spending so much you can't afford a fit?! I get that you spam vehicles but you need to watch your wallet just like IRL
Run a standard (STD) suit with STD weapons and STD/militia modules. You shouldn't be paying more than 10-15k for a fit. If you die less than 13-15 times in a match you should be making money on this.
It's e-peen bullshit running some pimped out gear in public matches (or abundance of cash), you don't need to pay 100k to increase dmg and eHP by 5%, you're rarely gonna lose by 5%. |

You can end up spending 2m sp to get your proto suit and go 'yeah everything will be awesome now' and then only have basic shield extenders / plates to put on it, or when you get the complex modules not have enough cpu/pg.
the 'easiest' way to get into this game is to run militia caldari heavies (just skill 1 point into the HMG) and save up SP while you decide what you actually want to do.
Cannot agree more that leveling into suits are not that important. I think I had 15 mill isk before I leveled into my first suit. I would add the basic armor/shield upgrade because it increases the HP of any suite you use regardless of the modules and is quite cheap to level up.

First person shooters give people with some relative skill a good time. 44/9 out the door of the academy and to the bears. Played another six games and went to ask questions on the forums. Was dirrected to find a corp and also to "get gud".
Day two: Joined a corp. Played a few games with them and had a relatively better time in general. Corp logged off after a few matches that we were able to play and I was left solo. So after a few games of getting the **** kicked out of me I said **** it and logged off. I dont need to beat my head into a wall.
Day three: Learned to fly a dropship! I took to these things rather well and have been complimented several times on the way I fly them. However I still lost quite a few ships to av rail tanks sitting back nowhere to be seen. Lost most of my isk this way despite having fun flying around the maps. No points to speak of from flying these ships however as nobody will stay in the guns and I dont have access to anything more advanced than gorgons and vipers.
Day four: met nyan san...all ******* day...Quit out after an hour of playing feeling like I had been barred from the game.
Day five: specced into advanced combat rifles. Still forced to play with lower tier rifles due to cost per fit and lack of steady income in game due to player lockout from even pub matches.
Day six: Realised most of my sp investment was somewhat pointless. Rather depressed about the game in general
Day seven: Learned that I dont like tanks. Or heavies...or anything with over 600 armor in general. Finally hit weekly sp cap.
Start of week two: Swapped my tank modules out for recharge things. Same time until death but could actually pop in and out of cover to at least defend an objective. Cant find squad to play with.
week two day two: find out that the rdv driver is an *******. He drops my dropships three times in a match from at least 50 meters up, killing them each time on impact...then when i get one in the air, comes in carrying another vehicle for someone else and swats me out of the sky. I take his plate number and intend on breaking his ship at some point. Stomped by better gear all day long. Managed to get a few kills here and there. K/d has dropped below levels that are acceptable to me.
Week two day three: log on and notice I dont have enough isk to restock my ten suits i keep in stock. Remember the night before and try and run free kits to get some isk. First three matches are against queue synced corps. Constantly stomped in the face over and over. Log off highly frustrated.
Week two day four: Finally get in a squad with a few players. Have three wonderful games where I was able to support my team with my commando. Got to rep some people. Made enough isk to finish out refits. Squad dispersed after a few matches. Proceeded to get my ass kicked and sent hatemail from teammates telling me to get better. Funny, I was top of the endgame report on that team...400 points total. Yay...
Week two day five: Decided to try tanks for a little while. Rdv driver dropped my tank on the roof of some building...got there after a friendly took it and drove off. Proceeded to run into combat without vehicle and just let the ****** have the vehicle. See my vehicle explode...die a little inside.
Week two day six: Get spawnkilled in the deployment less than 20 seconds into the match by a dropship running xt1 missiles. Wonder how he got there that quickly. This set the tone for the day. Cant find a squad most of the day. Ended up quitting very early, the rest of my experience playing out that this game just doesnt want me in it.
Final day of two weeks: Spec into level 4 combat rifles and gain access to assault combat rifle. Load up a fit with the rifle and see what the thing is all about. First game I got one kill then proceeded to die 5 times in a row without my weapon fireing for some reason despite seeing the animation. Lost money. Tried again and got a few more kills, no support and still lost money. Final match, every player on my team was afking behind our deployment zone running in circles inside the ship with me and a single squad mate out fighting 3 tanks and a boatload of prototype mercs. Most were heavies. No chance to push past the line whatso ever.
The game has barred me pretty much entirely from playing and doesnt seem to get any better. To those that got here early enough to not have to deal with the **** im seeing and feeling every match that i play, your lucky. To those that are feeling the same that i am, go throw things at ccp buildings. (dont actually do that.)
To everyone else, good game...or not...this game doesnt seem to be anyway.
Feel your pain. I must be a sadist because I put up with this for months and I was new to online FPS so had no basic skills to draw from.
To add to the other advice on this forum. Let your character sit for a number of months to accumulate passive sp until you have a more reasonable amount of sp. I'd say at least 2 mill, but 4 mill will get you much further.
In the end, I still don't think the game is worth my time, but I strangely keep coming back to it after breaks on other games (all of which I found more enjoyable and much more polished.....addiction is a strange beast) |

Forever ETC wrote:Hey Aika, sorry I never stayed long in your dropship. If you still need help message me in PSN or ingame and we can squad up. If you need ISK just message me. Dont worry about it, i think i get like 15 or 20 points for a pilot assist for kills anyway. It wont amount to much of anything even if i survived all game with the ship. |

Hey there. Glad to have you with us, even if it is a somewhat sadistic experience for you at the moment
I don't agree with the notion that we purposefully make the New Player Experience daunting due to New Eden "being a harsh place". Yes, that is true of the EVE Universe. But there is a balance to be had, and we want to make the game accessible to newbies.
A better NPE is something we're taking very seriously, and while I can't share anything with you just at the moment just know that there is currently work being done on improving this.
If you ever see me in game, feel free to send me a message or shoot me in the face.

Shoot me a message in-game and I'll throw a bit of ISK your way. I never had anyone to do that for me before I figured out how to stay ISK-positive, and I'd be happy to help you.
I'd love to squad with you sometime, too...there is a laundry list of things that new players end up learning the hard way. I'd be happy to enlighten you as nobody did for me
Hang in there, it really does get better. I promise.

I understand the feelings you're going through with the game. I've been playing since June 2012 and, honestly, I still get frustrated with the game at times.
I just recently won some ISK through Dust Lottery and being as I already have more ISK than I know what to do with, had said that I was going to do something right with the winnings. Opportunity presented itself and I've decided to pass the majority of the winnings on to you, maybe ease some of the frustration of losing gear to unstable pub-matches.
Check your wallet, should have a healthy sum in there.

This kind of behaviour by nyain san annoys not just new players. Matchmaking needs to take into account pre-made squads, if it doesn't already. Problem is there's probably not enough players currently to pick good matchups in a timely manner. |
