Hello!
I just want to let everybody know how I enjoyed EU and ended up getting screwed over in the end by an experienced long-term player that wanted to help me but I come to find out he was pretty much only out to get me for unknown reasons!
The START:
The very first day of my EU experience I felt like Live Streaming it I was Arkadian born and had a blast doing the tutorial with the few viewers that jumped in the stream and offered their assistance. After all was done I found myself a mentor (from my stream) and he ended up basically abandoning me after a week. In panic and confusion I still met a nice person from my live stream who I took on as my mentor instead and ended up graduating with him!
Early on I made an investment in the PH-3 UL tool, I bought it for around 750 PED (after depositing $100) and sold it for 1750 PED (Not sure if that is sleazy but the market was up and I didn't have much time to play about a week after the purchase ((long story short my wife found out she is prego and we were out celebrating and I was working a lot))..
After making the sell on the PH-3 a month later or maybe more I bought an Ancient Red Scorpion and flew myself to Calypso where I started killing Kerberos! I still remember my first global on the Kerberos, it was 26 PED and I was super insane happy, jumping around and all that jazz... It was a good time and it only got better from there! I have about 40 globals @ Kerberos and was doing really really good with ECO, purchased an A101 and was doing insane profit on 20 ped runs.
THE MIDDLE:
Shortly after my global spree I was confronted by an UBER PLAYER than many of you know..I won't name him but I will tell you my story of him. He offered me advice and how to "get out of my newbie status" and hunt better things that can HoF and I can have more fun! After days of talking to him he told me if it doesn't work out like I say it does, I will give you 500 PED. I said "Ok, lets do it!"
First things first, he had me sell my ARS (You don't need that anymore) so I sold it and bought p4a (L) pistols, I bought 5Bs for my Adjusted Musca, I was ready.
He told me to swallow the Skill Gain % pills and go to town on Longtooth...after many bad hunts I told him I don't think this is working out, so I went to Atrox...it was a little bit better, but still overall a huge loss. I went to Rocktropia with him to team hunt, most of it was me dieing and not getting anything good on our hunts.
I did some events on Next Island, placed 3rd on one and got an AU that was pretty cool. But all in all I continued to follow this guys advice and before I know it I was out around 3,000 PED. All the money I put into the game has been lost in under 1 month because I was listening to a guy that didn't care about me or want to actually help me.
THE END:
When time came and I couldn't hunt anymore or do what he said to do, I reminded him about the 500 PED he told me he would give me if it didn't work out (still a 2,500 ped loss) and he informed me I didn't follow his advice and that was that.
He has never spoken to me again and ignores me if I even say "Hi"...
So I guess my EU experience started very fun and energetic and meeting new people on the live stream and having tons of fun!! But overall it was terrible.
I did have myself some very nice HoF hits (400ish range) on mining on Arkadia and 1 on Calypso, but it still ended up not going in my favor and now I am out of my PED
So, thanks for letting me play this game for 4 months. It sucks that I listened to somebody who had no reason to help me, but I guess it happens.
So my warning to all the newbies that play the game, keep it slow..you don't need to progress, kill punies and maybe kill Kerberos for a long time once you have reached a gun/armor that lets you easily while still ecoing. The game is a lot of fun if you do what you want to do!
Thanks for taking the time to read if you did
I might pop up every once and awhile to use EU as a chat room and talk to the friends I have made on here.
