I have yet to run into a single EVE player that's been condescending just because one of our Dust guys decided to pick up the game.

I can't really speak from personal experience because I'm coming up on 6 years of EVE.

Eve players hate eve players.

What makes you think they'll like you?

The problem with Eve isn't really related to being from Dust as much as it's being a newbie in a game that's 10 years old. You will have the good people, but as soon as you warp out of hisec you're going to find yourself ganked in short order by people who only really do it to be jerks or are trying to pad out their bounty profile. And there's not much you can do about it, either, if you don't have the backup of a real corporation. And getting anywhere in the game sadly requires forays into the wilds of lowsec, especially if you want to actually make any kind of isk. It's this that's kept me from playing the game, I really hate PVP in MMOs. Nothing breaks my immersion worse than that.

Well its more about choosing a friendly corp that sticks together and trains their newbs. Its a steep learning curve but like in our case if you are part of a big alliance you are not abandoned to the wolfs. Still it took us sometime to find a place and we drifted a bit. The mistake we made is we started in hisec space, where all the newbs start, and mostly run missions and did mining. We got wardecked ( challenged into a war by other bigger corps) all the time and it was frustrating. The only way to be safe in EVE is to jump into the deep end, learn PVP and be part of an active and well organised corp. Once you learn the ropes and have some skill you can do anything you like, industry, solo hunting, exploration etc.

Only thing you will hide is that you play eve online. lol Other thing I play on my rig too, but knock the "master race" ****. It's embarrassing. Those that would consider them selves that are the nerds that get shoved into lockers by other nerds.

I'd hope you'd be welcomed given how there's some crossover between the two player bases (I've got both eve and dust players in my corp). Just don't try and wander into low/null sec on your own and you'll be fine. Also it's generally considered good etiquette to not start mining/ratting in a belt someone else is already mining/ratting in.

You're only going to get treated like crap if you come in with this kind of attitude.
Seriously, dude. What is with this "racism" against PC gamers? You DO realize that most of us also play games on console, right? In fact, many PC gamers, like myself, have MULTIPLE consoles.

Sorry your right i use to pc game myself and i have 3 consoles. Its just some pc players really believe there are superior but i know they are a minority. Apologies

I just started EVE about 5 weeks ago and everyone has been very helpful and welcoming. Just like Dust, find a good corp asap.

This is actually true, I was ganked on a gate (auto-pilot shopping) and he sent me a mail asking if I was new, which I admitted of being, so he invited me into a private chat and walked me through pretty much everything from traveling to pvp. I also got invited into a channel for pirates ( I was interested) and that channel was awesome, they were very helpful and wanted me to be good at the game so I could enjoy the EVE universe.

Yeah, Eve-Uni are (usually) nice people. My two month old alt was ganked by one of their gate-camps, and two minutes later I received an apology from their fleet commander explaining that they weren't supposed to kill newbies, and would I like a reimbursement?

And lowsec really isn't as bad as people say. You just have to know which systems to avoid. Once you're out there and past the gate-camps, it's pretty much deserted. I've been playing solo in lowsec for two years, and have been ganked a grand total of one time (other than the Eve-Uni camp), and that was because I wasn't paying attention.

Bro they wont even welcome you on their forums

Yes there are sociopaths but many people in EVE are very helpful and supporting of new players. Even the ones that just blew you up. I have been in fleets where pilots reimbursed victims for their ships after we found out they were new; then they were directed to safer zipcodes.

It really kind of depends on your attitude. I can almost promise you that if you come off as arrogant or immune to advise then the big-boy-rules will automatically go into effect. And if you like to make big statements or truth-claims without supporting your position with a reasoned argument - you will get your face eaten. Then you will be bombed with links, and spreadsheets and graphs.....and then real bombs...and then more links...

Oh. and sorta back on point!

I've had an EvE account longer than I can remember. Ever since first picking up "planetary vehicles" or "marines" cargo for early missions I've always been jazzed by the idea of entering a planetary atmosphere in some form of transport ship and setting foot on the surface of that planet---as an EvE player. Even if it meant just transporting military units of some type to a planet knowing that they could access the surface has always been an in-game fantasy. For more EvE players than you'd think. Walking in station is as close as that ever got for us and even that is more like what you get in your merc quarters. The main difference being we get to style our hair and stuff =\

So, yeah. DUST (in concept at least), is cool to a lot of pilots. IMHO.

Also, I think judging by the replies you're getting, you can see where the vile is regarding forum attitudes. EvE/DUST hybrids are here with their hands out to support and invite.

All the best,

- me.

try posting that question on the EVE forum, Im not trolling.
Id be interested in the responses, been concidering EVE myself
