I hope this does not become too long. Jurius, and everyone who posted here, both with comments and extra advice, Thank you! I am a new player, and EVE can be very intimidating! (like burnottx mentioned about undocking), I have been fearful, even terrified of losing something I just earned. However, I hope someone new reads this and it helps remove your fear or apprehension of getting into this amazing game: 1. You will be shot. You will lose ships. You will lose nice ships. It's okay, you will build nicer ones, you will learn what you can do differently next time. Losing your first ship is not the end, it's only the beginning! 2. Take the advice, and learn from it! There are so, so many people in EVE who all they want from you as a new player is to NOT hit the same walls they hit, so they make you tube videos, websites, everything they can to make sure YOU (Yes, you!) enjoy this game, and keep coming back! Not for their glory, not for the clicks and "likes", but because they love this game, and they want you to love it as well! 3. JOIN A CORP, period. full stop. The absolute hardest thing you can do in EVE is to be "el lobo solo", it is unsustainable over the long haul, and you'll end up burning yourself out in the endless cycle of shoot, mine, build, replace, etc. A corp is like..your favorite bar, or gaming group..or bowling league! You'll get to know the people, they will help you navigate the huge universe that is New Eden, the help you receive will rub off on you, and you will find yourself helping someone new down the road. And that, is a win for everyone. 4. Accept the fact that there are bad actors and jerks in space! You will be ganked, gated, hunted, webbed, modded, (I don't know all the bad terms..), you will be taken advantage of in a corp, people will offer you free stuff, then shoot you for the sheer fun of it, I can go on and on..sound familiar? like, oh, I don't know..life, perhaps? People are jacked up, and they do play EVE. But there are more hard working, nice people who will pick you up, dust you off, give you advice to help you, and hey, they may even give you a new ship and show you how to fly it! (p.s.: be sure to say thank you if that happens!) 5. You will here something about the "Core 14". Simply put, it's 14 core skills that if you constantly train them (which comes into Jurius's statement about "delayed gratification"), you will mine faster, shoot better, be able to fly better ships faster, and will help you succeed in this game, trust me! (I'm almost done training up my 14 to level 5!, and yes, it takes awhile!) It will sound cliche, but..train the 14. Your capsuleer will thank you! Thank you Jurius, and everyone for allowing me to speak on this, I could've said more, but I just want to encourage everyone who contributes to making EVE Online amazing! Now, I have to write down that new player corp mentioned in the comments...
I got my first kill a month or two ago, I was in a coercer in Tama, and fully expected to die when a heron warped to me at 0 and started blasting, my reps were barely keeping me alive as the heron was chipping away at my hull, yet I was doing no damage, then I realised that he had an optimal range disruption script on me and I switched ammo type from multifrequency to microwave, and pew pew I won. Second best moment of my life :)
Welcome back Doctor J.! I enjoyed your videos when I first started EvE years ago; I just recently re-downloaded after years away . Within my first 10 minutes of playing after years of sitting my Astero got blowed up by a sleeper cache because I had no idea what it was. EvE may not have instant gratification, but it has instant punishment for stupidity : ) Edit: For newer players I wanted to add that the game even warned me saying, "Stay away or die" and I just ignored it. /flex
I love how with all the difficulty that this game entails, learning all the math behind the turret mechanics, understanding the compositions of fleet combat, and all its infinite depth that you have dedicated yourself to teaching, you bring it on yourself to teach something even more difficult - Trying to improve peoples attitudes and improve them as people. I'm not sure how effective it will be, but i applaud the effort in the video, seriously underrated.
Watching this as I download EVE and wow, this should be a must watch for all newbies. Can't wait to learn my way around. Will look forward to joining in.
I have been playing this game for 5 years, but rather casually, and not really getting into the social part of it. Over the past month or so, I have found myself becoming more interested in the community aspect. For the past week I have been focusing on finding entry guides like this one to get a better sense of how to go about getting more into the game and community. Yours is one of the very best I have found so far. The real life helpful groups you mention are very interesting indeed. This is the first time I have heard of such things existing because of the EVE game community. This is like real life sports communities that have support groups for their participants.
Never undocking for fear of looking stupid and dying. Also I had a CEO who had a fit every time someone lost a ship - don't shame people for losing ships. Help them instead.
Started playing a couple days ago and decided to watch some video's while mining. Don't have much time atm for getting involved with the community, but when time free's up, your video has certainly inspired me to do so :) Will probably at that time also see about getting involved with pvp etc, but for now just trying to build a foundation!
Look what UA-cam suggested.... turn out I was in the same defending fleet last night as your alliance. Wonder how soon new friend suggestions would pop up on Facebook 😂🤣😂
Im new to doing WH stuff but i managed to rescue a corp mate 2 nights ago. She messed up her bookmarks plus this was her very first time trying out wh stuff. Some corp mates told her to cobtact the rescue service. I told her *im the system where you found your initial WH. Ill park my barge and rescue you.* i had her give me all the details she could remember and used some deductive reasoning by thinking from her perspective. After about a hour (im not sure how long it took) she finally recieved the message *i found you, rescue has arrived* followed me through the few WHs and to safety. It was unexpected that id launch a rescue mission that night😂
I remember getting lost in a worm hole after I forgot my probes in the previous system….but my entry had closed. There was a group of worm hole rescuers that flew all the way out to me and gave me a set of probes. For nothing. I couldn’t even pay them, and I wanted to, they saved an expensive probing vessel.
Nice to see you back! I remember when I was a newbro a year ago this month and watching your videos to learn about eve. I did vote for you for CSM too back then lol hope to see more vids soon!
Thanks for the vid mate, I've dipped my toe a few times in the past, I'm going to write these down and make sure I'm not guilty of them this time round.
Ha! Im one of those. Started playing eve (iirc november 2017), asked experienced players whats most profitable, they told me exploration, went to google, went to youtube, watched a bunch of guides (or had them play in the background), started exploring, got decent skills (both personal and character) within a week, and on 17th day of playing eve i plexed myself with casual 4 hours or so of exploration on average. A few times i got lucky and brought 300-400 mil from a single wormhole :) 8 months later i was sitting in a rorq. Couple months after that i was running a capital ship shop in low sec. Took a break. Came back to nullsec. Started trading ore in bulk. Started trading supers. Got 70ish bil liquid and a titan (though some of those i got along the way, i didnt really "grind" it).
I agree with all of your points, except for #7. As a starting player without any alts and any skills going into industry is a waste of time and SP (which is limited to 5kk on Alpha char). General mining in high sec (and even in low sec) gives very low profits for time spent, especially if you include time for hauling of minerals to production stations/market. Doing any other content for the same amount of time will give at least 2-3 times more ISK which will allow to just buy replacement ships from market. Yes, I know that there are some exceptions (like gas harvesting or some events) but they require much more knowledge and investment than any new player will have at start. Industry can become helpful later on as an additional passive source of income, but wasting your first weeks of training and gameplay on a Venture... to shoot rocks? I strongly advise against recommending that to new players.
the community is not better then others. like in the RL,good guys are rare. every day harmless player get killed,a player with brain and soul would not kill those player. this is far from good community. pvp is the reason why the game not grows,most player leave because of bad endless farming,no real law system. a miner in highsec earn 6-20 mill per hour but ships cost 1bill and more. endless farming without good content. a smart developer would push pve content. then the most player in the world are pve player. highsec need to be 100% save. you want pvp then go to 0,0. so easy is good gamerdesign
In regards to delayed gratification and plex - I also can't just throw a load of real money at the game and 'win'. I could buy a lot of plex, sell it, and be able to buy a decked out Marauder, for example, but if I don't have the skills levelled i won't be able to even get in the ship, and if I only have the minimum requirements I won't be able to do much with it - figured that out the hard way recently trying a Calm Exotic Abyss in a Caracal with only the base requirements; 26m ISK just gone, lol I've heard some horror stories about EVE's PvP and how harsh it is, it put me off for a while, but on my first Venture expedition I was warned by a complete stranger about 'CODE' and advised to mark the corp as hostile - I also figure that it's unlikely anyone will waste a Catalyst on killing someone's Venture worth less than a mil; but a mining barge is a different story.
you can buy large skill injectors with isk (from plex) but wheres the fun in spending 400 dollars on a carrier and insta skills when you dont even know how to use it
I wasn’t used to the friendly community of Eve coming from league of legends like when I got my first astero blown up I got it refunded and got some tips on exploration in loaded and I got a route to go in minmatar space to explore and fits. Remember it’s always good to ask questions!!
When I was a new player, i joined some random company. then while i was asking questions in english chat, some random chad sent me a message and warned me that my company was a spam company. the spam company would make players owe them money. good thing he warned me before i did any transactions.
My tips Start asp your own corporation Do the starter mission multiple times Install the eve app on your phone Play the discovery game , it will give you millions a day Don’t sell any loot or salvage Don’t sell your ore If you need money make it with missions or with the discovery game
@@SkillBasedGamer Whaaaaat are you talking about? I mean, I get that you're being tongue-in-cheek, but c'mon man. EVE is not a great game any more than Civilization 6 is a great game, but the community is tight, the people are awesome, and if you haven't figured that out it means you're socializing with people who don't love this game.
@@SkillBasedGamer I was responding as I was because your sarcasm is lost on people who don't know the game. Like I said, I personally realized you were being ironic and flippant (tongue-in-cheek), but that's because I play the game. I make content for people who don't, and for who are just starting or just returning. So it's important to say.
I tried to start eve online (the iPhone one that’s just under a year old) last year but it was super confusing so I quite after an hour and never played again after watching this I’ll possibly give it another shot
"If you don't join a corporation, you won't ever get to participate in any of the space battles..." GOOD! This vid is great. Now all I need is a response from the developers since the game simply won't install for me.
I was totaly new to eve when i started it, took me 60 days (own goal) to plex my first month... i still play and its been over 18months plexed so far, never stopped. I also earn enough to allow myself every few months a break of one to two months from the game, believe me everybody shoould its way more fun coming back to new changes and the skilling also takes longer so during that time i continue omega for skilling. One thing I am stickig to, one account is enough to enjoy the game. Something i find odd is that in all this time i never lived in LS or NS, never bothered or needed to.
I meant in general... I wouldn't play with those types... I quit when Pearl Abyss started screwing with the market and undermining player investments in the store... I left my solo trade empire and about 500 billion isk in there... What a shame after all that work... If you were around about four years ago and witnesssed the Jita battleship market wars, I was the A-Hole behind all of that... Lol... I had a great time in the game, but it really absorbs your life to a point where you are missing on enjoying real life... o7
I have been playing for quite a long time and I do not PVP. the few times I have tried it (not by choice) I have lost and so I do not enjoy it. good Video thank you
PVP isn't for everyone. I understand your feelings, but I would encourage you to try PVP willingly, perhaps with a public fleet. A good place to start would be with your own corporation or by joining a public fleet from EVE University, Brave, Bomber's Bar, or KarmaFleet.
Great video, and I don't even play this! Your advice on investing in others holds true for real life, too. If I ever make the EVE plunge, I'll be happy to know there is a good community with lads like yourself!
Null sec is extremely mouthy between competing alliances. But that's all it is, trash talk, we don't mean anything to each other, it's just part of null sec fleet combat.
"...it is not game that you push button--feel happy." Firing off a volley of artillery cannons was definitely a "push button--feel happy" experience for me.
What a great job! After I am done with my very very LAST CLASS for my bachelors of science! I might come back. I was very disappointed via Scarcity. I have been out of it since January 6th. ( No I was not rioting in Washington!! ) Quick funny story. My friend who introduced me to EVE in 2010 gave me a MILLION ISK !!! I thanked him and logged off for 4 days. He called me up and said I thought you were having fun. Well after some verbal dancing because I did not want to sound ungrateful. We discovered my error. I though since I had a MILLION ISK there was nothing else left to do!!!! I was wrong going it alone. The biggest mistake CCP has done in my opinion is allowing players under 25 million XPS to be CEO's!
First off, I'd like to say thank you for making this video. I began playing almost 6 years ago, and have been inactive for 2 years. I was playing the game with the wrong thought process and I regret it greatly because it hampered my drive to play daily like I used to. I started a rookie, and left a rookie with a few kills. I never gave myself the chance to learn and grow. I went from wanting to become a highly regarded FC, and a respected PvPer, to giving up, burning out, and just leaving silently like the wind out of somebody's airlock. As of right now after watching this video I have redownloaded the game with a fresh new mindset and I'm ready to take this game the way I should have. With that being said. I'll see some of you guys in the comments in Nullsec very soon. o7
Played EvE for 5 years. Enjoyed every moment. Sadly, because they changed their global sub and plex pricings, i've decided to quit the game till they stop charging my country 4x times of normal sub prices.
@@JuriusDoctor It doesn't matter which country. What matters is that they doing all their global pricings based on US $$. What it does is that countries with their money holds less value compared to $$, now has to pay 1.5x to... idk maybe 4x, 5x the mount of sub price/plex price. Steam sub prices skyrocketed and i mean literally. Since the change, sub prices in my country kept rising up to the point where 1 month of sub now costs as much as 5 months. This made me cancel all my subs on all my accaunts and literally stop playing the game which is way, waaaaaay over priced now.
Apart from my expedition frigates I build my own ships T1, so to some extent takes away a bit of the pain when I loose a ship. Although I try help new players a lot just want to see what they can get out of me at which point I give nothing apart from advice or guides on how to get what they want.
I've only been playing this game for like 2 days (just restarted to get the free skill points i missed.) And its the absolute best game I've played. There is so much stuff to do even as beginners. Within a day of playing I had millions of isk and multiple ships including a strong t1 abyssal solo ship. And the corp I found is just absolutely amazing they answer any questions, constantly recruit new players and help them, and don't care how active you are or ask for money just to be in the corp. Currently I'm stuck on running abyssals they are super easy and rewarding. Sometimes I go exploring its super fun finding new areas and looking at the cool planets and stuff they made for this game. 10/10 recommend playing this
I have found that people in EVE are not necessarily "Dumb", but, they like to overstate or understate things, and can often give bad advice. Many people think that something is easy because they have learned how to do something, when to a newer player, what they are talking about, isn't easy, or achievable to said new player just yet. And have met Mike, he is an awesome player and is still around :) As far as the toxicity, there are a LOT of toxic pirates, problem is, they are allowed to continue simply because they have been around so long and have the resources to continue.
"toxic" is a term millennials use. People who been around a while know THATS how you play tge game, For fuck sakes, they are Pirates... theyre suppose to be that way. Man-up Nigga!
First some back ground on me and my experiance in eve. I started playing in 2012. Yes pre blood bath of b-r5rb. I have flown with some of the biggest names in the game. But always been in the behind the scenes never at the front. I would like to stay first thank you for a great video. Secondly to add to a couple of points. I was into indy at the start. That was my bread and butter of the game. I actively avoided it. Even when living in null sec. The burn out is real. I honestly spent so much time focusing on running the indy side of a corp that fed several of the large coaliltions that eve was becoming a day job for me. Learn indy. But use it as a tool. I stopped playing in around 2015 due to burn out. I came back in 2016 and left again in 2019 (am returning again. Last time it was due to pc not burn out). Next is PVP. If you dont enjoy it thats ok. But learn it. It will save you millions in the long run. It is such an important part of the game. And understand that pvp isnt just the gank fleet or faction warefare. Its also marketing and the battle of logistics. Good video.
Do you have any tips for leaving the starter systems? I haven't really traveled far but I don't really know where to go I'm not sure what is friendly territory and what isn't other than the security rating
#1 ... wet behind the ears newbie. Just installed, got running on 64-bit Win7Pro desktop. Where's my mouse/trackball pointer? Is it supposed to be part of the game's challenge that you can't see your pointer? I had to use task manager to shut the 'game' down. Can't move to monitor. On my 2-monitor desktop, the game shows up on my secondary (lower specs) monitor, and has no handles I've found to drag it over to monitor #1.
Hello there. I was thinking of playing Eve Online as I had heard a lot about the game. I've heard of the free to play account called the Alpha account. I know that it has limitations as oppose to Omega account. Does the Alpha account still available or has it changed somewhat?
well, I enjoyed the game the few days i played it. but I'm probably going to look elsewhere again... i only wanted to do missions and enjoy the market from the "business" side of the game, since i heard this is one of the things this game is good at. so far its been a bit slow to say the least... doing pvp right away seems like a terrible idea, i mean you should at least pve a bit until you are strong enough to do pvp without dying in one shot LOL... but i guess its just me (as that is my experience in other mmos with pvp, you never do it until you are strong enough not to die right away). also, since the game is not single-player (solo) friendly, I'm gonna have to look back to other MMOs that are solo player friendly (yes, there are a lot. just cause it's an mmo doesn't mean they should ignore the fact that a lot of us like to play ON OUR OWN instead of forcing us to be in fleets 100% of the time, notice i said fleets not corps). corps are the same as guilds in other MMOs, with their own unique benefits to this game. these types of guild systems are usually requirements regardless of if you play solo or not. Most games have the option where you can stay in PVE zones or PVP zones, since anyone can get ganked anywhere in game it just tells me its a non-optional pvp game (means its pointless to try and build something that you can survive a pvp fight in, cause by the time you get strong you'll get killed and lose all your ship items before you can even be strong enough to fight back). most of the people salty about this game complain about it being sub based, but since you can access it without paying make is "free 2 play" even though the F2P model is just a trial with limitations. it was good while it lasted... i think games like Eve would benefit from learning from other MMOs but it seems like this is one of those MMOs where the playerbase has not played another MMO game... LOL
Still here and still subbed Jurius. Been playing for a bit now, and still enjoy your content. I was wondering if you still played. Did you burn out? I feel that way sometimes. Still I stick with Eve. I suppose I have not yet advanced as far as I like to go, and still rolling solo as usual. Anyway good to see you back, and hope your health has improved. Have a nice weekend.
There was definitely some burnout. 2020 sucked worse than 2019, which is saying something. Still playing though, and still making videos. Thanks for sticking with me.
Yea Eve is a cool game! Been playing it as alpha and omega. Alpha alone was cool, However I feel that this game is a ripoff, all is so much planned and worked out just to make money. What it says on the tin is not the game. If you go back from omega to alpha, forget that you can train anymore. You reached your points.... what they never tells you. I do agree this is a very complex game and that is good! Lots of ppl here that would take you for a slave as well by stealing your mined ore while you consented to joining their fleet and their MTU will just steal your containers and take it for themselves and as a "new asshole" you cannot harm them and they know this very well! Most corps are crap and protection from them are crap as they make you their "lil new to steal from new bro" and tells you sorry this is the way to learn slave shit. Not to mention the how much worth your stuff is and you get nothing for selling it! I got tired of this crap and left! There is more bad ppl than good trying to help one learn the game and also full of the "know it all and brag assholes" how much better and how much more skilled they are! I can actually puke from it all!
Hi there : Been playing for a few months I guess , and only doing combat exploration . Wondering if I can join your CORP so you and your friends mentor me ? Am Alpha and live in Japan . Best regards :D
Believe it or not, there are a number of Japanese corps in the game. It would be more convenient for you to have assistance from people within your time zone, rather than who only overlap with you 1-3 hours a day.
@@JuriusDoctor Thank you so much , problem is I aint Japanese , I just live here . Also I doubt if anyone of them has your knowledge . Thank you all the same .
@@leftyriverfunforlife3411 Well, if you're okay with asynchronous responses (I'm Pacific coast [GMT -8]), then by all means join my Discord and I can help you there. :)
i play solo and dont talk to anyone and have alot of fun playing eve. i just play safe for some might not be the way but for me i do whats needed for me and have a blast
I've played Eve echoes since launch and wanted to start playing Eve Online as well. So I searched for beginner tips and came across this video, well worth the watch, subscribed for future content o7
I do agree with this, however, I made my EVE account in 2010. Just started getting back into it again, watching this is making me feel new, it changed so much 😭
I feel you man a lot of people who play this game have billions and billions to lose on pvp ships and most likely a lot more skills than new players to the pint where they forget their advantage and take it for granted
The important thing about last part is knowing corp if it friendly to new comers or have toxic leaders is a thing u should really worry about for me I only try to find the perfect wormhole corp since most of em are live in peace and pvp when they want and make good isk to keep account plex all time if you follow their teaching
The 24 Starter Systems can be found in this official post responding to the issue of Rookie Griefing (a bannable offense): support.eveonline.com/hc/en-us/articles/203209712-Rookie-Griefing
I'm an old newbro and dont understand most things in eve. Started in 2019, rammed information until i burnt out, joined a random corp, and then quit. Does anyone have a corp i should join? I dont know how to PVP or explore, but i went for mining and industry.
I haven't long got back into Eve from putting it down after my first month from burnout. Right now sticking with the NPC corps, IAC, since I always feel that corps, like guilds/factions in other MMOs often require a certain amount of commitment, like guild v guild battles that you have to attend X times a month, or have to be on Y amount of hours a week and progress in levels or skills. Am I wrong with thinking EVE corps are similar? Inactivity without forewarning will get you kicked out presumably.
I fell for #2. I had acquired Z10M and saw Plex was selling for Z3M, and thought, "hey this doesn't look so hard." Then I saw it takes 500 Plex to buy a month of Omega. haha. Mika Azaria dropped a ship on me the other day. Pretty cool! I can't fly it yet, and don't know what most of the stuff on it does, but what a nice gift.
About "not joinig corp". As a new player, i don't join a corp because players corps can have wars; as far as i know, when two corps at war, players can attack each other in high sec without concord interferance (i hear/read something like that). so i don't join a corp because i dont want to be killed on sight in high sec.
@@mabelode7891 for me, sometimes it's just the new players. 2020 was hard for me, man, I almost quit. It almost did me in, and Jan 2021 wasn't much better (my dog died). But it's getting better and I'm back in it.
@@JuriusDoctor Sorry you have had a rough time, life gets hectic from time to time and can be rough. If things get too bad friend you can always broadcast for reps. Eve has the best gaming player base, we may whinge cry scream and blast each other but at the end of the day we are all Eve players and stick together like glue. Fly safe fella and keep well o7
well i played during a time during the empirian age.. was fun but didnt have a cc back then.. then when the movig to f2p a played again, but was so overwhelmed by the ammount of info, that i was completly burn at the end of 2 weeks, also my pc dont have the best spect so i drop it.. but my account still exist and hope that someday i will be back
People do say "Join a Corp! It'll be much more fun that way!". As a player that got roped into a Null-Sec corp on the first day of playing, I do *kinda* agree. That sense of belonging and community really makes a difference. But now, I have the problem where I don't play for months at a time, in which I would and have been kicked out of corporations for being too inactive. It becomes a hassle to try and integrate yourself when you know you'll probably not see these people ever again.
Im new and still dont know how to properly lock on to people and combat in pvp. the menus alot. i jumped through an accel gate and got bombed by like 5 people at the end.
I'm grateful for your videos, but buying Plex with USD is out of discussion, because its wallet share is not on par with movies, ice cream etc. There's no localization, so it is expensive for underdeveloped countries. In steam Turkey, i bought Witcher 3 GOTY for 3 USD. Euro Truck with all DLCs costs as much as 1.5 months of Eve. I paid for WOW for years, because i had access to the price, but eve's worldwide pricing hurts. It's just too much for some countries. Minimum wage is 370 USD/month here.
Been playing alone since 2018...Really exploring and seeking to join a corp but just have not found one that attracts me. Once this new Industrial makeover occurs, I may be screwed as a solo industrialist. Edit: After watching this video---I am making A LOT of mistakes. LOL
If your interested, I hang out with a group of indy guys a few jumps out of Amarr, send a eve mail to KalAshAman, I'll interduce you to them. I'm just starting back after a pinched nerve ordeal where I lost use of right arm.
@@JuriusDoctor turns out that making barely any isk wasn’t a good idea only took me about a month to figure out I also was getting bored Bc I had no one to chat with so I joined a corp
@@JuriusDoctor seeings how thats what other player want it to be for me then i have no choice but to keep it that way full rigged out Drake tank build and attacking everyone whos name i recognize or added to contacts with " kill repeatedly " in note tab for these players -_- seeings how its a pay to win game i might as well pay to have fun instead of be someone elses damn fun!
DO not join random corporations just for the sake of joining one, there is so many 1% tax corporations that get new players in just to collecy tax isk from them passively
1% is great. Be wary of the ones who charge more than 10%. Taxes have a purpose, even in EVE. You think those Upwell structures buy, fit, and fuel themselves?
@@JuriusDoctor I am talking more about those corporations that sole purpose is to amass tax from new players and dont do anything else, as soon I created my account I got like 3 emails with some questionable corporations
New to Eve. My skills will be completed in 159 days. My ship was destroyed, I'm too poor to buy guns for my other ship. So I just log on and claim my free stuff everyday.
Go to any NPC Station or Upwell Structure. Dock. Click 'Board My Corvette' button from top-right menu. Voila! A free, fitted newbro ship. You can mine in it and shoot rats. Open the Agency window from the Neocom. Go to Encounters >Missions > Career Agents. Run the starting career missions. You get free ships and fittings, while making money.
"No one exists in a vacuum in Eve Online"... true, but this statement is hilarious for a game set in space 😂
"nothing exist in absolute vacuum, even in space (or Eve Online)" better? o7
we live in pod goo
+10 Internet points 😂 I lol'd
I hope this does not become too long. Jurius, and everyone who posted here, both with comments and extra advice, Thank you! I am a new player, and EVE can be very intimidating! (like burnottx mentioned about undocking), I have been fearful, even terrified of losing something I just earned. However, I hope someone new reads this and it helps remove your fear or apprehension of getting into this amazing game:
1. You will be shot. You will lose ships. You will lose nice ships. It's okay, you will build nicer ones, you will learn what you can do differently next time. Losing your first ship is not the end, it's only the beginning!
2. Take the advice, and learn from it! There are so, so many people in EVE who all they want from you as a new player is to NOT hit the same walls they hit, so they make you tube videos, websites, everything they can to make sure YOU (Yes, you!) enjoy this game, and keep coming back! Not for their glory, not for the clicks and "likes", but because they love this game, and they want you to love it as well!
3. JOIN A CORP, period. full stop. The absolute hardest thing you can do in EVE is to be "el lobo solo", it is unsustainable over the long haul, and you'll end up burning yourself out in the endless cycle of shoot, mine, build, replace, etc. A corp is like..your favorite bar, or gaming group..or bowling league! You'll get to know the people, they will help you navigate the huge universe that is New Eden, the help you receive will rub off on you, and you will find yourself helping someone new down the road.
And that, is a win for everyone.
4. Accept the fact that there are bad actors and jerks in space! You will be ganked, gated, hunted, webbed, modded, (I don't know all the bad terms..), you will be taken advantage of in a corp, people will offer you free stuff, then shoot you for the sheer fun of it, I can go on and on..sound familiar? like, oh, I don't know..life, perhaps? People are jacked up, and they do play EVE. But there are more hard working, nice people who will pick you up, dust you off, give you advice to help you, and hey, they may even give you a new ship and show you how to fly it! (p.s.: be sure to say thank you if that happens!)
5. You will here something about the "Core 14". Simply put, it's 14 core skills that if you constantly train them (which comes into Jurius's statement about "delayed gratification"), you will mine faster, shoot better, be able to fly better ships faster, and will help you succeed in this game, trust me! (I'm almost done training up my 14 to level 5!, and yes, it takes awhile!)
It will sound cliche, but..train the 14. Your capsuleer will thank you!
Thank you Jurius, and everyone for allowing me to speak on this, I could've said more, but I just want to encourage everyone who contributes to making EVE Online amazing! Now, I have to write down that new player corp mentioned in the comments...
I got my first kill a month or two ago, I was in a coercer in Tama, and fully expected to die when a heron warped to me at 0 and started blasting, my reps were barely keeping me alive as the heron was chipping away at my hull, yet I was doing no damage, then I realised that he had an optimal range disruption script on me and I switched ammo type from multifrequency to microwave, and pew pew I won. Second best moment of my life :)
Welcome back Doctor J.! I enjoyed your videos when I first started EvE years ago; I just recently re-downloaded after years away . Within my first 10 minutes of playing after years of sitting my Astero got blowed up by a sleeper cache because I had no idea what it was. EvE may not have instant gratification, but it has instant punishment for stupidity : )
Edit: For newer players I wanted to add that the game even warned me saying, "Stay away or die" and I just ignored it. /flex
Im a total noob (less than 20 days in) and I saw one of those warnings and was wondering what I missed out on. thanks for the heads up.
"Eve may not have instant gratification, but it has instant punishment for stupidity."
Maybe that's why some ppl call it "toxic"...
I love how with all the difficulty that this game entails, learning all the math behind the turret mechanics, understanding the compositions of fleet combat, and all its infinite depth that you have dedicated yourself to teaching, you bring it on yourself to teach something even more difficult - Trying to improve peoples attitudes and improve them as people. I'm not sure how effective it will be, but i applaud the effort in the video, seriously underrated.
Watching this as I download EVE and wow, this should be a must watch for all newbies. Can't wait to learn my way around. Will look forward to joining in.
#3 "It's dangerous to go alone"
#2 "Here, take this."
Also, that feeling at 13:10, in hunting it's called 'buck fever'.
I have been playing this game for 5 years, but rather casually, and not really getting into the social part of it. Over the past month or so, I have found myself becoming more interested in the community aspect. For the past week I have been focusing on finding entry guides like this one to get a better sense of how to go about getting more into the game and community. Yours is one of the very best I have found so far. The real life helpful groups you mention are very interesting indeed. This is the first time I have heard of such things existing because of the EVE game community. This is like real life sports communities that have support groups for their participants.
I'm glad that this guide has helped you. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Never undocking for fear of looking stupid and dying. Also I had a CEO who had a fit every time someone lost a ship - don't shame people for losing ships. Help them instead.
Exactly the right response.
I just started and have gotten tons of help people are very helpful.
Started playing a couple days ago and decided to watch some video's while mining. Don't have much time atm for getting involved with the community, but when time free's up, your video has certainly inspired me to do so :)
Will probably at that time also see about getting involved with pvp etc, but for now just trying to build a foundation!
Look what UA-cam suggested.... turn out I was in the same defending fleet last night as your alliance. Wonder how soon new friend suggestions would pop up on Facebook 😂🤣😂
Im new to doing WH stuff but i managed to rescue a corp mate 2 nights ago. She messed up her bookmarks plus this was her very first time trying out wh stuff. Some corp mates told her to cobtact the rescue service. I told her *im the system where you found your initial WH. Ill park my barge and rescue you.* i had her give me all the details she could remember and used some deductive reasoning by thinking from her perspective. After about a hour (im not sure how long it took) she finally recieved the message *i found you, rescue has arrived* followed me through the few WHs and to safety. It was unexpected that id launch a rescue mission that night😂
I remember getting lost in a worm hole after I forgot my probes in the previous system….but my entry had closed. There was a group of worm hole rescuers that flew all the way out to me and gave me a set of probes. For nothing. I couldn’t even pay them, and I wanted to, they saved an expensive probing vessel.
Hope you remember their name and sent them some isk when you could.
Nice to see you back! I remember when I was a newbro a year ago this month and watching your videos to learn about eve. I did vote for you for CSM too back then lol hope to see more vids soon!
More are in the works!
Thanks for the vid mate, I've dipped my toe a few times in the past, I'm going to write these down and make sure I'm not guilty of them this time round.
Dude the feeling of learning from a mistake is UNMATCHED!
Ha!
Im one of those.
Started playing eve (iirc november 2017), asked experienced players whats most profitable, they told me exploration, went to google, went to youtube, watched a bunch of guides (or had them play in the background), started exploring, got decent skills (both personal and character) within a week, and on 17th day of playing eve i plexed myself with casual 4 hours or so of exploration on average. A few times i got lucky and brought 300-400 mil from a single wormhole :)
8 months later i was sitting in a rorq.
Couple months after that i was running a capital ship shop in low sec.
Took a break.
Came back to nullsec.
Started trading ore in bulk.
Started trading supers.
Got 70ish bil liquid and a titan (though some of those i got along the way, i didnt really "grind" it).
Yeah, if you do it smart, it can be done
I agree with all of your points, except for #7.
As a starting player without any alts and any skills going into industry is a waste of time and SP (which is limited to 5kk on Alpha char).
General mining in high sec (and even in low sec) gives very low profits for time spent, especially if you include time for hauling of minerals to production stations/market. Doing any other content for the same amount of time will give at least 2-3 times more ISK which will allow to just buy replacement ships from market.
Yes, I know that there are some exceptions (like gas harvesting or some events) but they require much more knowledge and investment than any new player will have at start.
Industry can become helpful later on as an additional passive source of income, but wasting your first weeks of training and gameplay on a Venture... to shoot rocks? I strongly advise against recommending that to new players.
the community is not better then others. like in the RL,good guys are rare. every day harmless player get killed,a player with brain and soul would not kill those player. this is far from good community.
pvp is the reason why the game not grows,most player leave because of bad endless farming,no real law system. a miner in highsec earn 6-20 mill per hour but ships cost 1bill and more. endless farming without good content. a smart developer would push pve content. then the most player in the world are pve player. highsec need to be 100% save. you want pvp then go to 0,0. so easy is good gamerdesign
Great video! Good to see you back, Doc!
Hey, thanks!
I joined Bombers Bar community, love every bit of the experience.
Great video, thank you very much for posting this. I just started within the last 30 days and am taking my time enjoying the ride. Happy New Year!
eve is one of the best mmos ive ever playd and ur videos did help me alot as a newbie!
Well done. Gave me an additional perspective as a new player.
Hello J Doc, I literally just started EVE 5 days ago. So far I love it.
Really glad to hear that, Paul. Hit me up in game sometime, or on Discord. I'd love to hear about your experiences and help you out.
In regards to delayed gratification and plex - I also can't just throw a load of real money at the game and 'win'.
I could buy a lot of plex, sell it, and be able to buy a decked out Marauder, for example, but if I don't have the skills levelled i won't be able to even get in the ship, and if I only have the minimum requirements I won't be able to do much with it - figured that out the hard way recently trying a Calm Exotic Abyss in a Caracal with only the base requirements; 26m ISK just gone, lol
I've heard some horror stories about EVE's PvP and how harsh it is, it put me off for a while, but on my first Venture expedition I was warned by a complete stranger about 'CODE' and advised to mark the corp as hostile - I also figure that it's unlikely anyone will waste a Catalyst on killing someone's Venture worth less than a mil; but a mining barge is a different story.
Ventures also have +2 warp stabilization, so you're harder to grab if you just rabbit when someone lands on grid with you.
you can buy large skill injectors with isk (from plex) but wheres the fun in spending 400 dollars on a carrier and insta skills when you dont even know how to use it
I wasn’t used to the friendly community of Eve coming from league of legends like when I got my first astero blown up I got it refunded and got some tips on exploration in loaded and I got a route to go in minmatar space to explore and fits. Remember it’s always good to ask questions!!
The EVE community is SOOO nice!
When I was a new player, i joined some random company. then while i was asking questions in english chat, some random chad sent me a message and warned me that my company was a spam company. the spam company would make players owe them money. good thing he warned me before i did any transactions.
My tips
Start asp your own corporation
Do the starter mission multiple times
Install the eve app on your phone
Play the discovery game , it will give you millions a day
Don’t sell any loot or salvage
Don’t sell your ore
If you need money make it with missions or with the discovery game
Decent advice. I would say that it won't work for everyone, though. Some people like mining. :)
make at least two more accounts. You WILL need them 😁
@@Laenthal Actually, yeah, I can agree with this. I'll even make a video covering multiboxing.
@@SkillBasedGamer Whaaaaat are you talking about? I mean, I get that you're being tongue-in-cheek, but c'mon man. EVE is not a great game any more than Civilization 6 is a great game, but the community is tight, the people are awesome, and if you haven't figured that out it means you're socializing with people who don't love this game.
@@SkillBasedGamer I was responding as I was because your sarcasm is lost on people who don't know the game. Like I said, I personally realized you were being ironic and flippant (tongue-in-cheek), but that's because I play the game. I make content for people who don't, and for who are just starting or just returning. So it's important to say.
amazing video, great job!
That last part about the community hit me in the feels. I love EVE o7
Met mike today, ironic he was mentioned here. What a nice guy
Welcome back Craig!
Thanks!
I tried to start eve online (the iPhone one that’s just under a year old) last year but it was super confusing so I quite after an hour and never played again after watching this I’ll possibly give it another shot
When I made my first account in 2015, I encountered Mike Azariah and he gave me a few free ships. It's impossible to forget Mike.
Amazing! Thx for your time and effort !
Glad you liked it!
"If you don't join a corporation, you won't ever get to participate in any of the space battles..."
GOOD!
This vid is great. Now all I need is a response from the developers since the game simply won't install for me.
#3 I'm the opposite of this! Whenever someone does something nice for me, I say thanks more than I probably should!
I was totaly new to eve when i started it, took me 60 days (own goal) to plex my first month... i still play and its been over 18months plexed so far, never stopped. I also earn enough to allow myself every few months a break of one to two months from the game, believe me everybody shoould its way more fun coming back to new changes and the skilling also takes longer so during that time i continue omega for skilling.
One thing I am stickig to, one account is enough to enjoy the game.
Something i find odd is that in all this time i never lived in LS or NS, never bothered or needed to.
Great video! New player here and your message in your vid makes me want to be a part of the game/community even more.
#1 Mistake... Wasting your life playing it with people who are the biggest narcissistic sociopathic A-holes in gaming...
So don't play with those people. lol. There are a lot of good people playing EVE. Why would you willingly subject yourself to bad company?
isnt that 90% of the playerbase ?
I meant in general... I wouldn't play with those types... I quit when Pearl Abyss started screwing with the market and undermining player investments in the store... I left my solo trade empire and about 500 billion isk in there... What a shame after all that work... If you were around about four years ago and witnesssed the Jita battleship market wars, I was the A-Hole behind all of that... Lol... I had a great time in the game, but it really absorbs your life to a point where you are missing on enjoying real life... o7
I have been playing for quite a long time and I do not PVP. the few times I have tried it (not by choice) I have lost and so I do not enjoy it. good Video thank you
PVP isn't for everyone. I understand your feelings, but I would encourage you to try PVP willingly, perhaps with a public fleet. A good place to start would be with your own corporation or by joining a public fleet from EVE University, Brave, Bomber's Bar, or KarmaFleet.
Great video, and I don't even play this! Your advice on investing in others holds true for real life, too. If I ever make the EVE plunge, I'll be happy to know there is a good community with lads like yourself!
Null sec is extremely mouthy between competing alliances. But that's all it is, trash talk, we don't mean anything to each other, it's just part of null sec fleet combat.
where's your inv code for the 1mil skills?
"...it is not game that you push button--feel happy."
Firing off a volley of artillery cannons was definitely a "push button--feel happy" experience for me.
What a great job! After I am done with my very very LAST CLASS for my bachelors of science! I might come back. I was very disappointed via Scarcity. I have been out of it since January 6th. ( No I was not rioting in Washington!! ) Quick funny story. My friend who introduced me to EVE in 2010 gave me a MILLION ISK !!! I thanked him and logged off for 4 days. He called me up and said I thought you were having fun. Well after some verbal dancing because I did not want to sound ungrateful. We discovered my error. I though since I had a MILLION ISK there was nothing else left to do!!!! I was wrong going it alone. The biggest mistake CCP has done in my opinion is allowing players under 25 million XPS to be CEO's!
First off, I'd like to say thank you for making this video. I began playing almost 6 years ago, and have been inactive for 2 years. I was playing the game with the wrong thought process and I regret it greatly because it hampered my drive to play daily like I used to. I started a rookie, and left a rookie with a few kills. I never gave myself the chance to learn and grow. I went from wanting to become a highly regarded FC, and a respected PvPer, to giving up, burning out, and just leaving silently like the wind out of somebody's airlock. As of right now after watching this video I have redownloaded the game with a fresh new mindset and I'm ready to take this game the way I should have. With that being said. I'll see some of you guys in the comments in Nullsec very soon. o7
KEEP THE VIDEO'S COMING! You're needed more than you think!
Played EvE for 5 years. Enjoyed every moment.
Sadly, because they changed their global sub and plex pricings, i've decided to quit the game till they stop charging my country 4x times of normal sub prices.
Which country?
@@JuriusDoctor It doesn't matter which country. What matters is that they doing all their global pricings based on US $$. What it does is that countries with their money holds less value compared to $$, now has to pay 1.5x to... idk maybe 4x, 5x the mount of sub price/plex price. Steam sub prices skyrocketed and i mean literally. Since the change, sub prices in my country kept rising up to the point where 1 month of sub now costs as much as 5 months. This made me cancel all my subs on all my accaunts and literally stop playing the game which is way, waaaaaay over priced now.
@@sibernetikvehububata.s7158 Yip can buy a much better game for less! I agree!
@@sibernetikvehububata.s7158 Maybe you should make your country great again, and then you could afford to play.
I absalutely love this video, especially 3. Looking forward to getting my PC just for EVE. See ya out there.
A wonderful video, thank you.
Apart from my expedition frigates I build my own ships T1, so to some extent takes away a bit of the pain when I loose a ship. Although I try help new players a lot just want to see what they can get out of me at which point I give nothing apart from advice or guides on how to get what they want.
I've only been playing this game for like 2 days (just restarted to get the free skill points i missed.) And its the absolute best game I've played. There is so much stuff to do even as beginners. Within a day of playing I had millions of isk and multiple ships including a strong t1 abyssal solo ship. And the corp I found is just absolutely amazing they answer any questions, constantly recruit new players and help them, and don't care how active you are or ask for money just to be in the corp. Currently I'm stuck on running abyssals they are super easy and rewarding. Sometimes I go exploring its super fun finding new areas and looking at the cool planets and stuff they made for this game. 10/10 recommend playing this
I have found that people in EVE are not necessarily "Dumb", but, they like to overstate or understate things, and can often give bad advice. Many people think that something is easy because they have learned how to do something, when to a newer player, what they are talking about, isn't easy, or achievable to said new player just yet.
And have met Mike, he is an awesome player and is still around :)
As far as the toxicity, there are a LOT of toxic pirates, problem is, they are allowed to continue simply because they have been around so long and have the resources to continue.
"toxic" is a term millennials use. People who been around a while know THATS how you play tge game, For fuck sakes, they are Pirates... theyre suppose to be that way.
Man-up Nigga!
First some back ground on me and my experiance in eve. I started playing in 2012. Yes pre blood bath of b-r5rb. I have flown with some of the biggest names in the game. But always been in the behind the scenes never at the front. I would like to stay first thank you for a great video. Secondly to add to a couple of points. I was into indy at the start. That was my bread and butter of the game. I actively avoided it. Even when living in null sec. The burn out is real. I honestly spent so much time focusing on running the indy side of a corp that fed several of the large coaliltions that eve was becoming a day job for me. Learn indy. But use it as a tool. I stopped playing in around 2015 due to burn out. I came back in 2016 and left again in 2019 (am returning again. Last time it was due to pc not burn out). Next is PVP. If you dont enjoy it thats ok. But learn it. It will save you millions in the long run. It is such an important part of the game. And understand that pvp isnt just the gank fleet or faction warefare. Its also marketing and the battle of logistics.
Good video.
Eve can be very rewarding one day and very unrewarding the next. That’s what I love about it
I play alone but without the other ppl playing the game would not be fun
Do you have any tips for leaving the starter systems?
I haven't really traveled far but I don't really know where to go
I'm not sure what is friendly territory and what isn't other than the security rating
0.5 and higher is high sec and relative safe
Mistake No 4 !! YES !! And proud of it....
#1 ... wet behind the ears newbie. Just installed, got running on 64-bit Win7Pro desktop.
Where's my mouse/trackball pointer? Is it supposed to be part of the game's challenge that you can't see your pointer? I had to use task manager to shut the 'game' down.
Can't move to monitor. On my 2-monitor desktop, the game shows up on my secondary (lower specs) monitor, and has no handles I've found to drag it over to monitor #1.
There is help available for you over at forums.eveonline.com
Hello there. I was thinking of playing Eve Online as I had heard a lot about the game. I've heard of the free to play account called the Alpha account. I know that it has limitations as oppose to Omega account. Does the Alpha account still available or has it changed somewhat?
Alpha is still available.
@@jerichotrumpet4933 Thanks.
just started playing again after 6 years. Been watching all your videos. You have to have the best eve vids have come across.
Thanks for the kind words.
well, I enjoyed the game the few days i played it. but I'm probably going to look elsewhere again... i only wanted to do missions and enjoy the market from the "business" side of the game, since i heard this is one of the things this game is good at. so far its been a bit slow to say the least...
doing pvp right away seems like a terrible idea, i mean you should at least pve a bit until you are strong enough to do pvp without dying in one shot LOL... but i guess its just me (as that is my experience in other mmos with pvp, you never do it until you are strong enough not to die right away).
also, since the game is not single-player (solo) friendly, I'm gonna have to look back to other MMOs that are solo player friendly (yes, there are a lot. just cause it's an mmo doesn't mean they should ignore the fact that a lot of us like to play ON OUR OWN instead of forcing us to be in fleets 100% of the time, notice i said fleets not corps).
corps are the same as guilds in other MMOs, with their own unique benefits to this game. these types of guild systems are usually requirements regardless of if you play solo or not.
Most games have the option where you can stay in PVE zones or PVP zones, since anyone can get ganked anywhere in game it just tells me its a non-optional pvp game (means its pointless to try and build something that you can survive a pvp fight in, cause by the time you get strong you'll get killed and lose all your ship items before you can even be strong enough to fight back).
most of the people salty about this game complain about it being sub based, but since you can access it without paying make is "free 2 play" even though the F2P model is just a trial with limitations.
it was good while it lasted... i think games like Eve would benefit from learning from other MMOs but it seems like this is one of those MMOs where the playerbase has not played another MMO game... LOL
Still here and still subbed Jurius. Been playing for a bit now, and still enjoy your content. I was wondering if you still played. Did you burn out? I feel that way sometimes. Still I stick with Eve.
I suppose I have not yet advanced as far as I like to go, and still rolling solo as usual. Anyway good to see you back, and hope your health has improved. Have a nice weekend.
There was definitely some burnout. 2020 sucked worse than 2019, which is saying something. Still playing though, and still making videos. Thanks for sticking with me.
Yea Eve is a cool game! Been playing it as alpha and omega. Alpha alone was cool, However I feel that this game is a ripoff, all is so much planned and worked out just to make money. What it says on the tin is not the game. If you go back from omega to alpha, forget that you can train anymore. You reached your points.... what they never tells you. I do agree this is a very complex game and that is good! Lots of ppl here that would take you for a slave as well by stealing your mined ore while you consented to joining their fleet and their MTU will just steal your containers and take it for themselves and as a "new asshole" you cannot harm them and they know this very well! Most corps are crap and protection from them are crap as they make you their "lil new to steal from new bro" and tells you sorry this is the way to learn slave shit. Not to mention the how much worth your stuff is and you get nothing for selling it! I got tired of this crap and left! There is more bad ppl than good trying to help one learn the game and also full of the "know it all and brag assholes" how much better and how much more skilled they are! I can actually puke from it all!
Hi there : Been playing for a few months I guess , and only doing combat exploration . Wondering if I can join your CORP so you and your friends mentor me ? Am Alpha and live in Japan . Best regards :D
Believe it or not, there are a number of Japanese corps in the game. It would be more convenient for you to have assistance from people within your time zone, rather than who only overlap with you 1-3 hours a day.
@@JuriusDoctor Thank you so much , problem is I aint Japanese , I just live here . Also I doubt if anyone of them has your knowledge . Thank you all the same .

i play solo and dont talk to anyone and have alot of fun playing eve. i just play safe for some might not be the way but for me i do whats needed for me and have a blast
really enjoyed your video, thanks for that
I've played Eve echoes since launch and wanted to start playing Eve Online as well. So I searched for beginner tips and came across this video, well worth the watch, subscribed for future content o7
On your not staying in a starter system, you should have included if your not doing 50 jumps a day your not playing.
Nice vid.
I started and quit after 4 hours today, my ship got exploded by a pirate npc. After watching this, I'm already reinstalling now and will take it slow.
I do agree with this, however, I made my EVE account in 2010. Just started getting back into it again, watching this is making me feel new, it changed so much 😭
"Not Engagin in PvP"
Yeah,and i always lose and isnt fun,so i will stick to PvE and Anomalies,and in PvP i panic and do stupid stuff and i die,so no.
I feel you man a lot of people who play this game have billions and billions to lose on pvp ships and most likely a lot more skills than new players to the pint where they forget their advantage and take it for granted
Just train your tier 2 modules. Everyone gets wrecked in pvp to start, but you live and learn. Err die and learn :P
My first big success on eve was actually winning a marbles game on someone's twitch channel for 200m isk and 2 skins
The important thing about last part is knowing corp if it friendly to new comers or have toxic leaders is a thing u should really worry about for me I only try to find the perfect wormhole corp since most of em are live in peace and pvp when they want and make good isk to keep account plex all time if you follow their teaching
Great video for a just starter like me! Thank you!
So what are the 24 starter systems to move out of?
The 24 Starter Systems can be found in this official post responding to the issue of Rookie Griefing (a bannable offense): support.eveonline.com/hc/en-us/articles/203209712-Rookie-Griefing
I'm an old newbro and dont understand most things in eve. Started in 2019, rammed information until i burnt out, joined a random corp, and then quit. Does anyone have a corp i should join? I dont know how to PVP or explore, but i went for mining and industry.
I haven't long got back into Eve from putting it down after my first month from burnout. Right now sticking with the NPC corps, IAC, since I always feel that corps, like guilds/factions in other MMOs often require a certain amount of commitment, like guild v guild battles that you have to attend X times a month, or have to be on Y amount of hours a week and progress in levels or skills. Am I wrong with thinking EVE corps are similar? Inactivity without forewarning will get you kicked out presumably.
I fell for #2. I had acquired Z10M and saw Plex was selling for Z3M, and thought, "hey this doesn't look so hard." Then I saw it takes 500 Plex to buy a month of Omega. haha.
Mika Azaria dropped a ship on me the other day. Pretty cool! I can't fly it yet, and don't know what most of the stuff on it does, but what a nice gift.
thank you; gratitude is a real super power
Bro, i aint no time to go in places where there aint no market whatsoever
About "not joinig corp". As a new player, i don't join a corp because players corps can have wars; as far as i know, when two corps at war, players can attack each other in high sec without concord interferance (i hear/read something like that). so i don't join a corp because i dont want to be killed on sight in high sec.
Corps can only be war decced when owning structures. Perhaps look for a structurelles corps. I Promis it enhances gameplay :)

well i played during a time during the empirian age.. was fun but didnt have a cc back then.. then when the movig to f2p a played again, but was so overwhelmed by the ammount of info, that i was completly burn at the end of 2 weeks, also my pc dont have the best spect so i drop it.. but my account still exist and hope that someday i will be back
Thank you so much for this video! 😃 Just started playing EvE Online today
People do say "Join a Corp! It'll be much more fun that way!". As a player that got roped into a Null-Sec corp on the first day of playing, I do *kinda* agree. That sense of belonging and community really makes a difference.
But now, I have the problem where I don't play for months at a time, in which I would and have been kicked out of corporations for being too inactive. It becomes a hassle to try and integrate yourself when you know you'll probably not see these people ever again.
Appreciate ya.
Im new and still dont know how to properly lock on to people and combat in pvp. the menus alot. i jumped through an accel gate and got bombed by like 5 people at the end.
on day 2 of my account I saw "exploration" and went to lowsec in a corvette. I don't have to tell you what happened next hahaha
I'm grateful for your videos, but buying Plex with USD is out of discussion, because its wallet share is not on par with movies, ice cream etc. There's no localization, so it is expensive for underdeveloped countries. In steam Turkey, i bought Witcher 3 GOTY for 3 USD. Euro Truck with all DLCs costs as much as 1.5 months of Eve. I paid for WOW for years, because i had access to the price, but eve's worldwide pricing hurts. It's just too much for some countries. Minimum wage is 370 USD/month here.
does it have joystick support
Been playing alone since 2018...Really exploring and seeking to join a corp but just have not found one that attracts me. Once this new Industrial makeover occurs, I may be screwed as a solo industrialist.
Edit: After watching this video---I am making A LOT of mistakes. LOL
If your interested, I hang out with a group of indy guys a few jumps out of Amarr, send a eve mail to KalAshAman, I'll interduce you to them. I'm just starting back after a pinched nerve ordeal where I lost use of right arm.
@@KalRandom Kool-thanks. I’ll think about it.
I just started playing again, i will say PI makes a crap load if isk with very little time after its set up
Not gonna lie I was guilty of rule 2 and the not engagin in pvp rule when I started
We all make these common errors, yet to my knowledge not many people have actively called them out for new players.
@@JuriusDoctor turns out that making barely any isk wasn’t a good idea only took me about a month to figure out I also was getting bored Bc I had no one to chat with so I joined a corp
nope..... i am very very alone and a 24/7 target in this hell of a game !
Do you like it that way?
@@JuriusDoctor seeings how thats what other player want it to be for me then i have no choice but to keep it that way full rigged out Drake tank build and attacking everyone whos name i recognize or added to contacts with " kill repeatedly " in note tab for these players -_- seeings how its a pay to win game i might as well pay to have fun instead of be someone elses damn fun!
Great vid, except for #8 - pvp in eve just sux hard.
DO not join random corporations just for the sake of joining one, there is so many 1% tax corporations that get new players in just to collecy tax isk from them passively
1% is great. Be wary of the ones who charge more than 10%. Taxes have a purpose, even in EVE. You think those Upwell structures buy, fit, and fuel themselves?
@@JuriusDoctor I am talking more about those corporations that sole purpose is to amass tax from new players and dont do anything else, as soon I created my account I got like 3 emails with some questionable corporations
number 5 is a mistake I keep making but I can't help it I feel like I owe people I wind up doing too much and burn out
New to Eve. My skills will be completed in 159 days. My ship was destroyed, I'm too poor to buy guns for my other ship. So I just log on and claim my free stuff everyday.
Go to any NPC Station or Upwell Structure. Dock. Click 'Board My Corvette' button from top-right menu. Voila! A free, fitted newbro ship. You can mine in it and shoot rats.
Open the Agency window from the Neocom. Go to Encounters >Missions > Career Agents. Run the starting career missions. You get free ships and fittings, while making money.
