[Eve] In the name of good fu...

Niadh Ui Ulaid

This isn't a game!! Its a lifestyle!

I've only had it for 2 days (in the trial version thing), and have found myself thinking about it at work already!

The OH is eyeing it up suspiciously thinking it is going to be the next Guildwars or FM.. of course I assure her it isn't

Glad to see an Irish site for Eve, I've been looking around and only came across it there now.

bizmark

ya remember saying to my self ill just try the trial but wont pay for it because thats just stupid and poeple who pay 14 euro a month for a game are insane........anyway 2 years and 3 accounts later i'm still bloody playing and logging in every day >_<

Niadh Ui Ulaid

Well atm I am trying to calculate how much time I can devote to it per day.. I was thinking if I cut back an hour on the sleeping..Saturday is football day....

It is down for maintainence, but when I go on again in a few hours I'll join one of the Irish Corps and start learning how to play this game properly:cool:

bizmark

no good irish corps for noobs really that im awear of anyway best bet would be boob head's if you really want a irish corp other wise meh.

what are you going to do in game anyway? pvp, mining etc?

Niadh Ui Ulaid

That is the thing Bizmark.. I haven't a clue what I'll do.. A bit of this, a bit of that.. and I know people say it is better to specialise, but until I find something I particuarly enjoy, I won't do that.

Given the size of the Islands population, I wouldn't think there would be too many noobs in any Irish Corp.. so any one of them will do


as long as they take me of course

bizmark

Well most mains arent speced tbh mine has 140 skills you just need to try stuff out and see what you like first .......Um not sure what to suggest on the corp side tbh I have two avatars in 1 corp but its not irish apart from myself and 2 other's also its pritty carebeary (mining/missions) but i tend to just do my own thing so suits me.....used to be a boards.ie corp but havent heard a damn thing from them in a while.

Niadh Ui Ulaid

Ahh.. that was the one I was going to join

Well at the minute I am a 'cadet' in a SpaceMarines one.. I've started a debate witht he boss however, so that might not last long.. unless he/she agrees with me

Are the Irish chat areas still open? I'm just farting around and really don't know too much when it comes to making money etc.. tho I did buy a mining kinda ship:D

R0ot

Remember getting the free trial in an email, and being bored with bf2, thought why not. Addicted within the first 2 hours and managed to drag a few of the nrg lads with me, not all stay'd but still a few in the game now.

Spacemarines one really? whats the name ?

Theres the irish room but it died a death along time ago is full of alliance/war cock fagging wouldnt recommend it any more tbh although others might disagree i was there for over a year and a half its just a horrible place now compered to what it was.

could rant on that issue but i wont.

Niadh Ui Ulaid

I'll give it a miss then

The Space Marines link is http://101smf.org/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl

It looks grand enough tbf.. I just hate being left outside (even though I know it is only fair considering I am still in the Trial thing).

Is there no chance of another, more normal, one opening? Actually.. maybe I'll do it myself (If I can?)

PyjamaMan

im in the same position as ulaid myself, only im just about to finish my 2nd free trial before subscribing for good in a few days :P with the "death" of the irish channel ingame is there anywhere to talk to non "OMG I PWNZ ALL" types that are helpful? just need like a wing for shelter to guide me in the right direction so to speak.

Im looking to be a fighter type, start off small and build my way up. Quite like the thought of a mercenary, so if anyone could point me in the right direction there. Been constantly rerolling but with the latest character i made i think ive cracked it and finally getting to grips with how things work... Ive a destroyer and im sitting around 2 million isk after 3 days and 850K sp lol :P but i think ive gimped him..

Im sitting on around 5 intelligence and 6 memory, but thats with one rank of a memory skill book learned. Will i be totally gimped in the future in regards to learning electronics and the like?, its already taking a bit longer to learn the related skills to those stats than say, rapid firing or controlled bursts took me to learn.

Should i reroll to that race combo that websites give with the 3 charisma so my char is more balanced down the line when i have a few million sp?

my stats: charisma 6, Intelligence 5, Perception 16, Memory 6, Willpower 15

Any help is appreciated GIEF NEW IRISH ROOM!!! :P

Niadh Ui Ulaid

How did you get so much money?:D

A new Irish room is a must.. I want that 'wing' as well

PyjamaMan

just doing the missions, reprocessing all the stuff i wasnt going to use now or in the near future and just selling it off. also havent lost a ship on this character yet because my finger is almost constantly hovering over the "warp to within 0m" of a starbase when im doing missions ^^

bizmark

you could join the Hematite Rose public channel thats the one im in most of the time name there is Darkireland they will help you out good bunch of lads

your stats can rise by like 9 with learning skills to lvl 5 basic and advanced to lvl 4 + you have 2% extra per learning (the skill learning) level l then you have implants so its up to you combat pilots should be pritty high in percep/willpower but you might of unblanced it a tad ;p

PyjamaMan

re-roll it is i guess :P dont suppose theres any way i can send the items and money from my current character over to a new one?

bizmark

not sure if trial alts can make contracts? if you can you could just contract it over to the new avatar once hes made if you cant do that and your around caldari space you could give it to me and ill just trade it over again some time tonight.

you could still get your avatar up to like 17-18 intell/memory with implants if you wanted its lowish like but its not totaly awful (could be wrong mind) like my perception is 22 and willpower 20 with +4's

Niadh Ui Ulaid

You guys just lost me there.. what is this about?

Niadh Ui Ulaid

I know what I need! I need a mentor to hang around with!!:D

bizmark

whats your avatar name? ill invite you to Hematite Rose chat and you can get the info you want there corp might suit you as well they are pritty open to doing what ever you want.

Niadh Ui Ulaid

<<< It is the same as this, and cheers

Surprisingly, despite me floating around, I haven't bveen 'killed' yet

bizmark

cant really get killed unless your in 0.4 or below space or steal something from someone or are at war.

I might not be able to talk to you till later as i still have to get a few hour sleep in btw.

PyjamaMan

we were talking about starting stats, they effect how fast you learn things, so for example, the higher your willpower and perception, the faster you learn skills that require those stats.

Ill give you a shout later on ingame to see what the craic is, ive some stupid name like joxer rigante... no idea why i made that surname lol but ill see ya out there!

bizmark

ya ill try to get on to yey both later see if i can help you out a bit.....anyway im going to **** off to sleep for a bit enjoy yourselfs

PyjamaMan

sleep well! :P

Niadh Ui Ulaid

meh.. it is still offline ffs..till 4pm now

Lol yea r0ot, i remember back in those days we used to verbally violate anyone who played mmorpgs lol, tis a year later and look at us now

Niadh Ui Ulaid

right.. it is off till 5pm now.. does this happen often?



G*d, am I getting withdrawal symptoms already?:eek:

PyjamaMan

either that or your just bored stiff since 3 and wish it would hurry the duck up :P

Niadh Ui Ulaid

I've now let the wee sister on my home computer.. and yes, I am bored..

I wonder if it is possible to play it on this laptop? It isn't the best (700 RAM approx), and when I have loaded it up, I can't see the writing.. it is too small.

Should work on laptop fine with classic graphics.

Niadh Ui Ulaid

Oh it loads etc no problem, the lag however, is devastating.

I'm on now if any of you fancy a chat (Niadh UiUlaid)

Some times (not always) after patches you get lag and various problems, bear with it. Set a long skill at any time your gone for more than an hour.

PyjamaMan

well, it was good to get onto the old irish channel the night and listen to the smack talk between sides etc :P as well as the excessive use of the word f@g... something your trying to tell us lads? :P

cheers to khan zu and darkireland btw, helped me out a lot, cyas tommoro! :P

The irish channel is the biggest group of homophobes within homosexuals outside of soho

Bill Andrex

The "Irish" channel.... Well yes, what can you say about it... as we say in Dublin its "SHOITE"

Tell us more of these people and why they deserve your praise.

PyjamaMan

butt sex!

kyp_durron

The Irish channel is at it's best when we all RP homosexuals, well some RP and others are fo real, but it's all good.

I'm repping now for the Coranor massive one tyme.

GO BOB!

Fallen Buckshot

Darc Kahaar is a backstabber ! just like MC :P

Niadh Ui Ulaid

Appart from the connection problems, I had a great night last night, and am looking forward to getting on tonight again. Cheers to all those that helped me out, and for pointing me in the right direction (s). It is appreciated, and believe me, when you have an idea of what you should be doing, the game is 100% better.

I've noticed a lot of my skills are trained, but blanked out ie I cna't use them.. I think this is a trial account thing, and I reckon I'll have to sign up earlier in order to use all my skills.

Anyone rec a good Corps?:D

mamolian

lol omgz i pwn all types! haha I blame Darc tbh

Your right about one thing tho.. this IS a lifestyle.. Eve will **** up your life.

kaahooters

why cant someone just make a boards.ie channel?

Niadh Ui Ulaid

Actually, one of the guys off here invited me to a channel which is great, and full of Irish people. They are good craic, and aren't afraid to give you a hand... I can't remember the name of it ffs

Now all I need is a mentor type to push me in the right way... that and the kids to go to bed so I can go online again (I'm using the laptop atm which can't take EVE).
