I'm going to do my best not to rage or flame within this thread.
Dear CCP,
I understand the economy of this game needs to be healthy. I understand that money in / money out needs to be nearly even. However, the lifestyle created in this game is frustrating me to no end. Now, before I go on, let me say, I am not a very good player and if I were, and I "learn to play" then perhaps I would see a bigger paycheck at the end of a match. With that said, I believe I have completely screwed up my character. I went rushing to be a tank / HAV pilot. I can not run infantry gear stronger than militia and I know that ends up hurting me so badly because I just get stopped in games, do not get kills, and do not have the damage to typically kill an enemy first. Again, I am a bit of a noob at fps's and yes, this is my problem and not a problem in the game. However, being in this game and focusing on being a talk pilot, I should shine at running HAV's, right?
Well, I've found some very interesting things so far in game. A friend with a Basic Forge Gun, and myself and one other friend with militia swarm launchers can not seem to kill tanks on the field when we work together. 3 guys... not killing a tank. ...and I think wow.. that's awesome, you need a solid team to take one out. Now lets consider myself... I run Caldari tanks and I am naturally building shield tanks on them. I am not running militia HAV's. I'm running a basic tank. I am running basic and advanced items on the tank. I am running resistances, bigger shields, shield boosters, and even an active shield resist on top of the passive. To that I also add in a damage control unit. Again, all these items are at least basic if not advanced.. no militia vehicle gear.
Well, I find that just 1 guy with a forge gun blows up my tank within 20 seconds of it landing. Just 1 guy. How is it that just 1 guy can take out a tank by himself where 3 of us couldn't take out a tank before. I have spent every skill point over the past week raising my engineering skills to build stronger and stronger shields & resists. I have continued to get murdered in nearly every match i play just so I can make scraps of isk because I didn't focus in weaponry just so I could get into a tank. I feel so defeated.
So this tank is my primary role and I cant afford it. The first week of this build, I get it. I started off with minimal skills and had to continue to work up my surviveability and even then there was the Orbital strikes every 20 - 30 seconds and most of the time my tank wouldn't last but a few seconds on the map. Generally less than 1 minute. The past 4 days I've been trying to build up my skills even more and slowly build up enough cash to afford a tank. The tank wasn't in game 3 minutes and was dead. Now, stuff happens and this is New Eden and I get that. ...but come on, I don't make 1/10 of what it takes to buy and outfit even a basic tank in a match. I get to pull out 1 tank every couple of days if I'm lucky. I'm living paycheck to paycheck and it's killing me.
Further note: when i am on the field with a gun, I'm generally trying to play support. As a logi, if my repair tool is active on a person when they get a kill, shouldn't I at least get an assist? That isn't happening and perhaps that is another topic for another thread. ...and I'm not talking Warpoints here, I'm talking assists in kills... assists I am not getting, cash I am not getting.
I am angry, I am frustrated, and I'm unsure what to do. I'm trying really hard not to ***** but I'm just expressing that I am at a loss here and If I could, I would completely start my character differently but I set him on this path and at this pint I will need to wait till next wednesday before I can really start a refocus because of the limited skillpoints i'm getting as is.
So - I am providing feedback to you.... now I ask you to provide me feedback as well because I need some feedback, suggestion, or tips because while I try really hard I just feel that I have completely wrecked myself in this game.
Thank you for your time,
Chipuwa
