I'm a new player coming from Albion Online, my IQ is about average so that's already a disadvantage for this game. I think Eve is made for only the smartest of people who can make sense of all the stuff in Eve's interface. I'm stubborn though and I'm battling on anyway. I started off in Exordium, then after a while left it for the "real" world, got blown up in my first faction war experiment (as expected, so nothing wrong with that!), did some more pve stuff, sold some lucky loot, then tore out my hair when trying to understand the overview filters from the Eve University wiki, what the hell is all that...
Then I thought okay, let's go back to basics and do some of that epic arc holographic stuff back in Exordium. I got handed a ship and weapons that I hadn't trained, ok, whatever, throw some skill points on it. Then I realized my dialog was bugged and I missed the entire story of the first mission, had no clue what I was supposed to do and took me ages to figure out, then I had to attack enemies with this single weapon that was apparently shooting little rubber balls because stuff took ages to kill. Seriously, when does the fun start? Are all Eve players masochistic?? Well screw this epic arc stuff I guess. I want to keep playing solo for now, any suggestions what might be fun to explore as a complete noob? Or should I give up? Despite all the clunkiness and bugginess there's something intriguing about this game, and I do like a challenge...
