EVE is like Dark Souls

In a way.

The jump from T0 to T1 Abyssal Deadspace went relative easy. No real problems. The Punisher really is an awesome little frigate. Until I met this guy. A Devoted Knight. Dear lord, what was that.

I admit. I panicked. Like a little girl. I may have screamed a bit. Or a lot. I really am not sure anymore. It’s like the game is rigged, in a way to seriously screw you over if you complete like say three runs successfully in a row.
It started with this fellow right here. A battleship. Obviously it’s a battleship, so getting up close was the course of action. Took a while to get him down …

But I did have to log out after losing my Punisher to the Devoted Knight. No rage quit, but more like a ‘why am I wasting my time with this’ -quit. I find it rather irritating that there is no ingame information about the NPC’s you will encounter in Abyssal Deadspace. You have to look up YT videos (that are often either clickbait titled, outdated, or just plain wrong). I felt cheated out of my time. EVE has a way of doing that.

I understand that the way to tackle these Abyssal things are very ‘easy’ for veteran players. The basics are the same: approach, traversal, … orbit this one, kite that one.

But going in ‘blind’ or semi-blind is irritating because every time you loose a ship, you loose so much time refitting and buying everything again. Not to mention getting your hands on some more ISK to do all the refitting and rebuying in the first place. So yeah, I’m rather annoyed right now. Abyssal filaments is a nice way to earn some ISK, but at this rate, not sure I’m going to make a lot of profit. Skill issue? Definitely. Lack of knowledge issue? Probably.

I did try exploration the other say. Fitted a little Heron (?) and went of into the unknown. Jumped a few wormholes, almost got ganked near a WH entrance, also forgot to bookmark a WH entrance/exit and had to rescan it all over inside WH space while avoiding a Manticore probing me. A very entertaining hour that was, but it did not earn me a single ISK. But I don’t think exploration is for me because it is the ultimate of boring. The scanning alone with the blue bubbles. Dear lord. No thank you.

So here we are again.
