[@byronmangan]

I've lived or fought in every region of eve. It truly is vast. Each one with unique resources and logistical challenges. Great breakdown in a short amount of time.

[@ToadSage24]

You have hands down the best guide on this game. I have watched your entire newbie playlist. You have a ton of knowledge and I appreciate the fact that even after all this time, you still choose to play EVE Online.

[@Aceyface]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@LeoUSA33]

With all due respect, there is nothing “simple” about this game. Liked the video though 👍🏻

[@jessiemoore3094]

It's really not that complicated unless you're a pretentious neckbeard.

[@vidzorko4492]

Not really, quite a few activities are simple, yet have a lot of depth and extra steps to learn about, if you decide to approach them seriously. Level 1 hauling missions for example are very simple. Mining in a venture is mindnumbingly simple also. Same with the first couple of stages of abyssal deadspace, and so on

[@robertmartin1254]

U want simple play wow

[@asmod9537]

​@@robertmartin1254 yeah, eve online is so hardcore with it's 5 APM gameplay

[@Interdiction]

@@robertmartin1254 Fine . Deletes eve . Game dies . Well played

[@jonreese2688]

I wanted to play as an alpha clone for a few months. My plan was to play alpha for 3-4 months. Two weeks in Covid changed that plan. Been Omega ever since .

[@indeliblesyx5051]

Been playing 10 years just learned enough to leave Jita LOL. Soon ill learn how to customize the overview

[@Cursed754]

this was incredible, so many little things that added up made me feel so lost not knowing, I was doing all the emission in what I now know is the corvette because I didn't know how to even get a new ship

[@kevinkottom1526]

I briefly played Eve a while ago, getting back into it now, great refresher on how to play, would recommend, thanks!

[@rayderrich]

I am watching this years after I docked my ships and 'quit EVE Online' (noone ever quits EVE Online and you all know it). Great video mate.

[@BadYossa]

Long time player who stumbled across your channel. Really well presented and succinct intro. Looking forward to view your other vids 👍

[@mroperator5152]

I have watched a bunch of your videos, been playing for about 3 months and your videos are really fun and informative, helps the new players out alot like my self. Thank you

[@pekwalker]

I am thinking about returning to EVE Online after many years away. I found this video by chance and want to say thank you for making this kind of content. It was much enjoyed. I'm still on the fence about coming back but will take a further look in the next day or so.

[@davidmays8974]

At first, I came to this video to learn more about Eve Online because I plan to play it in the future and I am a complete newbie, but the thing that kept me here was the extremely satisfying voice to the point it was making me sleepy. I may or may not add this to one of my ASMR playlists.... who knows.

[@ericoftheotherworld1525]

Seems like one of those games where people like really technical games with steep learning curve.

[@lucienArindelDomingo]

Just started eve this month. Really appreciate the break down. This game is vast, harsh, and cinematic.

[@tanathosXX]

Been off since forever, finally back on and I find this very instructive

[@Hammahlovesyou]

Always love your vids, thanks!!!!

[@Meatpiesgaming]

Thanks mate, just signed up with your link. Very excited as I've seen this game around for years and kept thinking I'd missed the boat and was too late to the game. Lets gooo!

[@TheBudkai]

Fantastic general tutorial! I'm returning again and this was a great refresher

[@davidmays8974]

Wasn't his voice extremely satisfying though..? Just saying.

[@ivanhristov222]

Dude to be honest the best video to describe the game and the activities. Appreciate it

[@Aceyface]

[@Shiftry87]

That rookie chat is more helpful then most ppl might think. In most games those types of channels dont do mutch or they tend to be out of control and there is very little help going on in there. But in Eve this channel is very helpful. At times u can get abit off topic argument going on in there but there are special marked players that tend to hang out in there to keep the channel clear of that when it happens. Even if u are not new and just forgot something u can pop in and ask where u can find that or what hotkey brings up this meny or something and for the most part u get a quick answer. Dont forget to say thx so they know it was helpful.

[@swaggr222]

Great guide and thank you for the recruitment link!!

[@tombaumhart1891]

Great guide, I’m going to start playing tonight and re watch it

[@pmull6784]

I did over 300 runs a T0 Tristan. I love that little ship. I'm currently doing T1 in a Hawk & am planning my jump to T3/T4. I'm leaning toward an Amarr Heavy Assault Cruiser for darks instead of a gila. We'll see how that works out. Your vids are always encouraging. Thanks! How goes the medical training?

[@Arjunvandemataram]

Fantastic Newbie video bro. Realy enjoyed it and learned a couple of things, even after 12,5 years of playing EvE ! :D

[@SamVeale]

Null sec can be safer than high sec depending on the Alliance who owns it. Most alliances have active defense and intelligence against raiders who hunt in their space. Gates into alliance space can often be guarded very closely to prevent intruders from entering without notice. If they cause trouble, can be hunted down.

[@EaglefireflyGaming]

I feel like this video is appropiate for me 😂 great video ace!

[@nfapeng187]

Happy to know if i lose one of my PAWS i can still play this game at least! But this video has been more useful to me than any OTHER Tutorial video ive seen yet. They just wanted to go through stuff quickly it seems. At least here i have a idea of how the things work.

[@DeputyGamer]

I just used your referral, I plan to get a few things in the market. I hope the kick back helps you as much as you've helped me!

[@maximomartin2529]

All of this info is really useful, even though I want to know, when you want to do a mission from an enforcer agent, he told me that he wouldn't give out any mission to anyone who hasn't joined the war. The problem is I don't know how to join the war.

[@rosestarr6699]

Best beginner tutorial I have watched so far. I'm keen to start playing eve, so have been watching a fair few videos on getting started, and this has been a real gem. Thankyou :)

[@vincenteriksson4062]

I love this game so much! I hope i wont get burnt out

[@wheresseb]

Thanks for the video and the skill point link!

[@Frostytravels]

Great video man, this helped me a lot. Well done. Gave you a subscription.

[@xyonblade]

Of course.. if you just flip some words around it becomes "how dummies play eve online" hehe. But seriously this looks like a nice video for helping newer people out, so cheers.

[@ken_l1]

Wow i have played quite a lot of mmos and this game has got all of the features from it i love Player market ✅ Giant world ✅ Pvp focused✅ Guild/corporation system✅ And of course my most favourite becoming a capitalist ✅

[@daoandchayeng3249]

Was thinking about playing EVE, but wanted to check out how hard or easy the game is. So far, you made it look pretty fun and interesting. Thank you!

[@Babom_Official]

You still playing? I'm downloading the game right now

[@bummerboomerx]

how'd it go?@@Babom_Official

[@Babom_Official]

@@bummerboomerx I played around 200 hours but got bored, game is really cool but didn't find it entertaining enough for me. might check it out in the future though :D I put all the possible skills to train (around 2 months) xD

[@bummerboomerx]

thanks for the reply@@Babom_Official

[@Reikoku.]

Thanks for the info and skill points.

[@mra.d5689]

Bruh.. you are the best guide so far.. im going to watch your video from now on.. im a new player in 2023 so thanks for showing this..

[@luarvikluarvik4276]

Great introduction, thank you!

[@CitizenNerd]

If you are thinking about joining now in 2023.. there is a simple but fun little guide as soon as you join.. teaches you the basics and is enough for you to get started... mining is a little gimped but the other paths are grate u can get to semi big ships in the free to play versions. :) currently on day 2 myself. And got 1mill free Skill Points thats equal to 20 days of skill learning. People are sharing links for it in chat so u will also get them :)

[@thanosdon256realchanel3]

I’m a returning player. Thank you for reintroducing me to eve online

[@MrDorkLard]

It would help a lot if CCP revamped the career agent missions - the FAQs in Rookie Chat would be greatly reduced if they fixed instructions like "mine Tritanium".

[@vincenteriksson4062]

@Filip Lewicki Its reprocessed Veldspar. The mission basically says "Mine Steel"

[@F_Flex]

By the title i knew this vid is for me:)

[@pierreivarsson2538]

This is the only game im keep getting back too 😅

[@bloedkop5094]

Great video and very thorough the only criticism from my end is that you cursor is very small, moving very fast and its hard to see against dark background so when you click on icons or links on the UI to show as stuff its hard to see what you actually clicked on to view it. You dont always explain where you click or what keyboard shortcut is used to open a menu. When you showed us the ship tree in the beginning of the video for example I had to stop and rewind the video to see where your cursor actually went to open it :-) Otherwise great video thank you.

[@scottsfowler]

I played 50 mins in 2018, was a bit too much for me, but trying it out again...still over my head, lol, but will try to stick with it for a bit. Thanks for the rundown, hopefully it will be enough to keep me in it for a while. I really want to like this game but the tutorials and directions are limited...I need a bit more handholding apparently

[@davidbaker6382]

Wow, seems complicated (because it is day 1 on Eve for me). I think this video will be most beneficial for those who already have a lot of experience.

[@cschuh4695]

So this isn't a game of competition, rather of advancement?? I don't want to start a game where I get killed every 57 seconds... It sure looks amazing, and I've always loved Space Flyer games... It's a lot "heavier" than Diablo 3, and I gave up on that one after 9 months... Hope this one isn't like that... I'm gonna try it out... Thanks for the excellent video... Another newbie joins the ranks... UPDATE: I'm 8 days in, and this game is FUKN AMAZING!!! The attention to detail by the programmers is 2nd to None... AceFace, you''ve been a big help with this video, now my 3rd viewing... Thanx...

[@user-el3ub1ym4r]

i used your link and got dido zero nothing .. but the thought was there . no problem ill give it a few days

[@izsickho5633]

Thxs for the Guide. I found this game Because it was like another game called starscape

[@jonahshao5595]

amazing video nice job

[@ghostinng274]

This game seems very straightforward. I feel like once I get used to the movement system and the fighting system, ill be doing alright.

[@desdinova55]

i wish i had watched this BEFORE i started playing. would have saved me much frustration. and might not have had my last ship blown up :) .... and all those free skill points. wish i had known. i'd be a genius by now. lol.

[@slacksthelast7975]

I just started last night and have no clue what I'm doing thanks

[@zoranhome]

Join my corp. Look me up, IGN Zloh Kee

[@robertvocals]

Great video!

[@G1ZM0S1S]

Can't believe I'm back here after 2 years learning the game again lol

[@SuperMewKittyKatGaming]

i played uncharterd waters online,same game concept but that is in earth 1400-1800's here is in space! i was ship builder and artificer(crafter) probably i could join EVE and do same there will think about it thanks for the video

[@JasonTakagawa]

I’ve been playing since 2018… and I still need to learn how to play this game.

[@BladeofSalvation]

been playing since 2010 you never stop

[@codranine6054]

Great video thx

[@luxiet2518]

Oh boy.... plex for 3 mil :O Thats almost antique. I want back times where you has been able to plex account for 1.3bil ISK. :( Great video tutorial i hope it helps new players to fall into New Eden. :)

[@mohannadmalik5373]

very nice video tutorial

[@zacknoxim1847]

loved ur video subbed thinking of starting eve pnline i already play swtor mmo and conqurers blade so bit intimidated about starting this 1 too also already made an account but havent played yet but want to use ur promo code what can i do plz advice

[@davinci315]

While some of us were fortunate to figure out ways to plex accounts monthly early on, best is probably to either commit to alpha or rip bandaid off and purchase 12-24 months of game time and just have fun without the monthly stress of monthly sub cost, losses, etc

[@KennTollens]

In 2003, I started a character, but it took time to level so I just logged out and never back in. I wonder if it has been accumulating points since then. Are there better things in the red system?

[@mathiasikit]

Thanks man

[@SmokeDankTreeDaily]

good video

[@JackT1961]

is it possible to split up the panes to other monitors?

[@sarggamer2031]

Where do I find the link mentioned at the start?

[@AschKris]

What do you mean when you say that a player made a space station? Like they designed it?

[@antonioaviles1436]

yes

[@dierig05]

You got a discord for new or old ppl to help each other or hang out. I started a few weeks ago

[@SpartanMikey]

Awwww, I just created my account before seeing this video!!

[@NorthernWalks]

Is there like PvP level zones ? Like if am new and go to these zones won't it just be massively unfair coming against someone who's played the game since its release?

[@cameronmoore136]

Was definitely considering playing this game until I looked into the differences between free players and subscription players. 15 dollars a month simply doesn't appeal to me when I'm not sure to what extent I'll be in the game, and spending time in the game when my time spent yields less progress than others who pay just doesn't sound appealing to me either (not to mention, having certain skills outright locked).

[@kairusu8628]

What weopon do you use for your ship?

[@roberthomler8681]

if everything is built by the players where did the first people to play get their ships?

[@davinci315]

I regret not playing back then, game was many times better in the early days. Player built. Fewer made. Exciting.

[@clarion-z2929]

tried it. first 5 hours felt like I was just watching stuff to happen without ever being able to control anything. never have I tried anything this boring.

[@pluvious1]

About how long would it take for security forces to arrive if i were attacked in a 0.7 security system?

[@user-jv1mq6oz7n]

Not fast enough to save you

[@markusmaximus629]

How to play Eve: Do stuff. Get ganked. Repeat. Yon can't fight the gankers, you just get raped. Great gaming concept.

[@user-to5bb1st7w]

I can't believe this is a free game

[@RenderMuffin]

Spot on! Amazing "for dummies" video. Well earned like and subscribe

[@neohelios77]

How to play Eve Online: 1. install the game and look at all the beautiful planets and stars! (ooooh, pretty!) 2. explore a bit, and eventually find yourself in a lowsec system. Get comfortable with the higher mining yields and suspiciously quiet local chat channel. 3. observe a single ship jump into the system and think nothing of it, initially. (because, you know, you're new and don't know any better) 4. get podded seconds later, staring blankly at the insurance popup, wondering what just happened. 5. rage quit and go play Elite Dangerous

[@Lita1]

LOL now I know what to do with this game...I liked this video yes!!!!👍😅

[@gingerbong]

noice

[@bernardputersznit64]

"You may go to Heaven - You may go to Hell = But first you are going to Jita . . . " ;-)

[@br1t0n]

It says it's for Dummies, but it starts with you in a spaceship. Apparently I am something less than a dummy because I can't even get that far. Just confronted with choices when I open the game for the first time without any guidance on how to make those choices

[@bennynash6655]

So I was interested in this game, but from all the videos it is a combat game with little to no world building left to do. Is this true? Can you play this game without any interest, past self defense, in combat?

[@SpectreOps]

If you get rich enough as an (alpha) free player, can you buy PLEX to upgrade to an OMEGA?

[@jamesgospodyn6498]

I don't have EVE online but I really wish I did

[@foundpopcorn7987]

im new to this but they are not stargates unless sg1 has invaded eve online hmmm oh and thanks for the million skill points so helpful

[@michaelscotts3949]

Ah that sucks. By the sound of it if you have one side of your ship getting hammered you can't simply turn or rotate and have the other sides armor soak up damage to tough it out longer.

[@jcsmith9518]

I have no windows with commands on my screen?

[@TheWhiteWolf202]

I used your link to get the free 1 million SP but it didn’t give it to me. Am I missing something

[@yourregulartexan1113]

When it comes to mining do not mine in highsec space. It's more worth it to mine in low sec.

[@cagr2725]

i wish found this video 5 years ago

[@Puzzoozoo]

Not played it since 2012, the UI looks totally different to how it was. I'm now retired, so once my post retirement jobs and things to do are done, I'll be building a new PC and will see about maybe reactivating my omega account.

[@honyokgaming5601]

As someone who has only ever played games about as complex as Red Dead Redemption, I'm challenging myself to try and get the hang of this game. I'm not really expecting to master it or anything but I was curious how far I could go if I focused. It looks pretty fun once you get the hang of it.

[@dariusvlogs3634]

Space flying simulator!

[@achong007]

The biggest pain is getting skills that take forever. Not worth playing. Takes 2 year to max out one of the t2 ships with all the skills for it maxed out.

[@davinci315]

When people lose their spaceships and have player interaction early on, they get a taste of eve and play for life. When they do pve and mining and cry for more safety, eve dies a little and they leave.

[@Obi1kenobi10]

I've been TRYING to play for 3 days. I'm going back to the old Freelance game. That gives you more info that "collect this". Where do I find it? How do I find it? So far I am not impressed.
