Double-Tap x-X Krusual Covert Operators Minmatar Republic 0	Posted - 2013.05.20 18:39:00 - [1] - Quote I just started playing this game and already Im bored. From what I am reading, there is a lot more beyond these quick little battles I am playing. How long does it take to get beyond this? I currently have almost 570k SP, 9k WP and a 4.5 KDR. Im guessing that will fall considering how much of a grind it is to get to the next level of anything. Also, do we get to change our skills after we graduate the Academy? I started off as a trooper with an assault rifle but, after playing for a little bit, I am really liking using the installations (railgun mostly). I can go 21-1 with those so I am thinking about tanking. Cheers! DT

You don't get to change your skills after you graduate though to answer your question.

The kills will not come as easy when you going up against squads of proto players with 10 million SP to your 575,000 SP. I have roughly 4 million SP and wish we had some form of equipment based teirs to match up against.

Like the other posters are saying though, you may want to look into joining a player-Corp after you get out, or rolling with people in the LFSquad channel. It gets pretty brutal when you're on your own.
Double-Tap x-X Krusual Covert Operators Minmatar Republic 0	Posted - 2013.05.20 18:49:00 - [7] - Quote Thanks guys. I kinda figured but I would rather play against good competition and lower my KDR than play Duck Hunt as it is right now. I am assuming the regular players are a little smarter than the guys who are running at my installation head on after I already dropped 2 of their mates. That sucks about now being able to change skills. I really like railguns right now and I just looked at the skill tree for tanks. This is going to be painful Cheers! DT

DT Corps can squad up easier, there's corp chat to talk to members, and you get to do Planetary conquest battles. Also, if you're running low on money, corps can support you.

THUNDERGROOVE ZionTCD Unclaimed. 53	Posted - 2013.05.20 18:55:00 - [12] - Quote Just remember, there are militia variants for tanks. They may be pretty crappy but they give you a cheap way to learn the ropes and really get a feel for it. This game is an absolute grind but you can apply for a one time SP respec. Go here for more info

Ignoble Son 3dge of D4rkness SoulWing Alliance 245	Posted - 2013.05.20 18:57:00 - [14] - Quote That might be a good idea though. A respec upon graduation. Funny though, I also went in with a brand new alt, graduated in 10 games. Would have been less if not for having to do ambushes also. Would be interesting to know how many games your on right now. Oh yah and, prepare yourself for the real world. It's brutal out there.

Oh yah and, prepare yourself for the real world. It's brutal out there. I just started today as I got a link from a friend who said it would give me a skill booster and a gun for joining. Ive probably played about 14-15 games so far. Its been half and half between the death match and objective capture. Right now I have 135 kills and 30 deaths but most of the deaths came in the first couple games.

Not even joking about that. Good luck.

I did try out the militia Tanks. Less kills but no deaths. EDIT: Never mind. I am now seeing different options.

Not normally they think that going sniping is a 'safer' option. this is when we get ninjas to counter deploy against them, nothing but a bunch of free kills when they go sniper usually.

In psychological terms you could relate this one going into the fetal position, sucking ones thumb obsessively, whilst mumbling gibberish to one's self.

There were cars everywhere on the board and one hit me before I even had a chance to materialize after spawning in which seems kind of ********. EDIT - Except for the run-over, 3 of my deaths were from being 2-shotted from a football field away and one was a one shot from a 'forge gun' that seemed to come from nowhere. Im sticking with my original hypothesis that everyone snipes.
