Join a player corporation, that makes all the difference. The NPC corporations rarely have any kind of cooperation or teamwork.

Granted, but it sure tries to be (and fails) -- I frankly don't see the point to the game. There's no real cooperation, just people running around aimlessly shooting at things -- just like COD Team Deathmatch. So this might not be the game for me, because frankly I find COD boring as all hell. I want an MMO, I want to BUILD and have teams and friends and and quests and.. and.. well something more than just run and gun. But I just don't see that here
My post was long and a bit of a rambling narrative, so I think you missed the bit where I went to the market and outfitted with a pile of GEKs (advanced AR). I also got 1 experimental AR (Gorekiller or something), but the CPU in my suit couldn't take it. Went to buy new suit since I got loads of cash, but insufficient suit training to get anything but NEO and the low level suits can't be modded at all. So CPU upgrade is OUT.
Join a player corporation, it makes all the difference when it comes to teamwork during matches, the NPC corps rarely have any.
And did you have the sufficient proficiency level to buy the GEK rifles? If not, then you should know that you have to get the skill first for the weapons and dropsuits before buying them. Stick to militia stuff until you get enough ISK and SP for buying better stuff.

And I HATE Medic. I stopped playing Medic in Team Fortress Classic back in '98 when they nerfed the poison in the Medkit.
I saw the tool icon and thought "Engineer" or more recently in Borderlands 2, Mechromancer. And took their "you can skill out of this initial skill" to heart.
But seeing that I only get about 3000xp per battle, I can see I might never skill out of it. I might be better off quitting all together right now or starting again and spending another $20 on another merc pack seeing that I wasted mine on a character class that I can't stand and who I can't kill with.
The classes you select at the beginning don't really mean anything, they only give you some basic equipment and a few skills to get you started, and from there you can expand anywhere you want. In fact, there isn't really any classes in this game per-se, only dropsuits that can be customized with thousands of choices, you can be whatever you want from a passive healer to a frontline assault.

Bad mistake. Seriously. I'm really not interested in this lame "Artificer" class -- I thought it went with the GALLENTE's (my race) propensity for AI and bots. I see now I was very much mistaken, but the in game reading GAVE NO CLUE as to what it's true nature was.
Yes, the game lacks slightly in tutorials, that's why you come here for advice.

When did you start playing? I'm thinking this is an issue with n00bs being tossed in with vets and unlike EVE, you just can't tell at a glance how outclassed you are because everyone looks the same. It's not like OMGWTFBBQ TITAN!!! It's just some dude in a suit running and gunning, So there's no way of telling that your bullets will have no effect on this guy.
I started playing two months ago, and I was as clueless as you were. Luckily I had a few helpful guys in the corp chat that got me into a player corporation, who in return guided me to where I am right now.
chili-con carnage wrote:Another consideration will be whether or not there will be a shift when this game launches. Will the Vets from Beta be relegated elsewhere due the "match making" actually working? If so, I might just call it quits till release and start again as a newb with other newbs.
We don't know, CCP hasn't really said anything about this. We just have to wait and see. |
