• • Best Class Choice/Combo For Couple Players

  • I have seen many of you suggest Hunter. One thing I am worrying about is aggro. I swear I read somewhere, cannot recall where for the life of me, that once aggro is drawn from an enemy/mob that it is very difficult for another player to take the focus of said enemy/mob. I imagine it isn't that big of a deal in the lower levels but farther in the game where mobs and single enemies are more common place, I imagine that a hunter drawing aggro that cannot be transfered could prove very problematic for staying alive. Is aggro really "set in stone" once drawn? Any info would be most appreciated.

• • Reasons to Try Eve, or Maybe Not

  • The attitudes of EVE players are as legendary as the game itself. I remembered players were helpful and apprecitaed others who ere dedicated to EVE as they were. I definitely think I will be rejoining. I probably won't be able to until after Xmas as December will be ridicuosly busy for me, but returning will be my latent Xmas gift to myself (a new hobby that is, not $15 bucks lol). Thank you all very much for your insight and feedback. I appreciate it very much

• • Reasons to Try Eve, or Maybe Not

  • I'm disappointed I forgot to add this bit of information as it is crucial in supplying an answer. My primary desire in the game would be to join a corporation and do a lot of cooperative gaming. This could be anything from being a pirate to being being a pirate hunter to providing deep space mining security. Just about anything I consider to be attractive in the game puts me into the combat seat. I'm not really familiar with what defines Tech 1 or 2 or the different ships. Like I said earlier, given my interest I'm afraid of getting owned everywhere I go or being so ill defined, training skills, that no corporation would seriously use me for more than cannon fodder on various corp based objectives/missions. Thoughts?

  • I just don't really know how important fellowships are. We prefer to solo more than group. If we wanted to worry about fellowship maneuvers then we might go with a Burglar and Captain. If we wanted to address long term solo survival then we might go with something like a Guardian and a Champion or a Guardian and a Minstrel. It is just really hard to say. All I know is that we don't have the free time right now to try our hands at every classes, and if necessary class combination, to find our sweet spot. Any insight is most appreciated

  • I would really ike to thank the original poster and everybody who offered advice or feedback in their replies. I was coming to ask a series of questions as I haven't played Eve in a VERY long time. Just about everything I wanted to know was addressed here. Although it was addressed I would like to ask one question that was addressed above for more detailed insight.

    The primary reason I left EVE is I was coming from WOW, my very first MMO. I didn't like the idea that I couldn't grind to earn my way to the top. A couple years having passed now and with much expeirence with MMO's behind me I am intersted in EVE once again. My question is this: How big of an impact does the time based training system have on new players? Is somebody joining EVE right now, especially with the games healthy long standing subscriber base, always going to have a bit of trouble?

    Can a new player really become elite in some respect within three to six months of training, assuming you are specializing in something. All of these questions assume the new player has common sense, picks up the the system fairly easily, and is the type to flourish in a sandbox setting. My real concern is being an ant among Gods unless my skill and foresight are so highly tuned that I can outwit many of the older subscribers.
