Eve Online PvP for beginners 1, realistic expectations

This was the first of your videos I found. Love listening to you and your advice. Subscribed and looking through your content. Thanks for the straight talk discussion. Fly Fun.

Thank you for such a vivid demonstration of PvP. You had my heart pounding with the fight you put up. If that had been 1v1, you would have crushed. Also, your build was a great help. Never played PvP, but your demonstration help me put aside my fear because I know what to expect now. Marking your video to watch again. Hell yeah imma subscribe. Thanks a lot Alone.

I came back to add that I am not much of a PVP player myself. But like I said it's something I would like to try. I've always enjoyed the YouTube content when someone is really good at it. Its intriguing when someone can take on two or more at a time and come out on top. I imagine it takes reflexes and knowledge to make it to that level. I've enjoyed your content and subbed your channel a day or two ago. Thanks for the content and tips.

that was a pretty good example, and a quite decent fight as well .. well done for a disposable "example" :)

Yep my experience as well. Gate camps.

Sorry deleted my other comment i didn't realize you replied - Do you think getting into the bigger ships is a good way for new players to compensate for the lack of skills and experience they have for pvp? This typhoon footage looks pretty sweet - like you can take on some of the harsh fights and stand a remote chance in fighting back? Or should i just stick to low tier frigs/destroyers? Get some tech 2 for them?

So should I be getting insurance on any ship I PVP with? Since I know i'm going to lose it?

how do u record that view without overview with yourself still seing it

Real Pvp Rule Number 1: You will be ganked and lose your ship 95% of the time, with no fight.

The one trick i have found to eve pvp is choose your fights if you go into low sec looking for a fight you are going to run into far more experienced players and in eve no one fights fair there will be a gang of them. Do not let them choose the fight i am fairly new i have a fair amount of kills i fly solely cloaked ships and i go after the low hanging fruit explorers miners and ratters. I must be doing something right i have not died yet i am sure that will change though lol

Ive been playing off and on since 2006. Just got my buddy playing, he got his 1st mining ship in a couple days and was mining in .8 Sec, Tolle to be precise and these pirates came thru and tried to force him to pay. Of course he only had a couple thousand isk cuz he just bought his shop so he got blown up. We all get it, highsec isnt safe....but dumb stuff like that is why its hard to get new players in our game. .8 sec of all places to try and deter noob miners for no reason and then the same people complain there is no good PvP in the game.

I've a PVE player, but I get wrecked when I'm ratting with my hurricane. No matter how much I use D-scan. How to avoid this? Stay away from low-sec near Hek... so basically don't go near low-sec unless you have 4-7 friends.

I'm a solo roller. Still thinking about it. I have three accounts. Mainly industry for fun and thought why not make one toon a fac war toon. I lose a ship I lose a ship. Sooner or later, I will begin to get the hang of it.

literally what happens to me every time and it is frustrating, i jump through a stargate and i am popped within few secs, this pirates have ruined PVP. I was wondering if a battlecruiser or battleship can escape such gate camp in lowsec?

Try RvB if they still exist

Wait, no disconnects?

It's worth noting, for those not in the know, that setting up clutter to decloak people is actually considered an exploit by CCP. Now it's unlikely anyone is going to get banned for doing it (presumably because that would involve banning half the game), but the reason it's worth noting is if you lose something expensive to this and you raise a ticket saying you died to an exploit, you will likely get your ship back.

if you are new at this game, first concentrate on not getting shot. when you are good at that then and only then start to learn pvp. and never take a fair fight.

3 months later and get this recommended. lots of good info here. sad seeing the comments complaining about this type of game play. it's all fun, nothing is permanent, ships are ammo. if you can't deal with the loss of pixels on the screen how do you deal with any adversity in life. thanks mate o7 fly wild

I don't see the all-day campers as real PVP. Yeah, its PVP. But not PVP. Yeah, I know in most cases you will always have at least one person to come in a help out the other guy. I am talking about hunting and roaming. I am talking about beacons. Fac war to. I am talking about protecting your sov. Thats PVP. Even if a roaming bunch of pirates, I see them as PVP. Not so much skill needed as one on one. Still PVP. The gate campers? Kinda lame. I tried it once and was bored to tears. Not much fun after one or two ships. It took a long time for someone to finally come in. They usually never stood a chance. It's like bashing baby seals with sledgehammers. It's a kill, though nothing to brag about. The only other thing I consider a step below all day campers are the ones that go to new starter systems and go after the brand-new toons. I guess I find that even the miner hunters a step above the gate campers. Just my opinion.
