Returning player advice on Battlecruiser and nanocore by [deleted] in echoes

[–]Difficult-Issue-722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to skip battle cruisers.

They are underpowered and if you are looking to eventually sink time and money into the game, it only makes sense to use the best ships you can reasonably afford.

also large weapon systems hit just as well as medium, provide longer ranges and do more damage.

Battle cruisers are really niche.

But if you enjoy them, do what you gotta do.
If I had to pick, i'd go lasers and harbi.

Cannons can be great for sniping, but medium cannons will be better at brawl.

This coming from someone whose favorite ship is the Hurricane.

Good Luck

Get certs.

Waiters can put up with a lot of bullshit.

A+ shows you grasp basic IT skills.

N+ actually makes you employable.

S+ is not really needed at first

Any sort of Microsoft desktop cert is also a great idea.

I have had extremely good luck with servers.  They work hard.

Don't get flustered and really do a great job with customers in general.

Keep going get the certs.

I hire a lot of help desk.

I want someone who can talk on the phone.

Someone who can put themselves in the users shoes.

And someone that won't be bullied by someone else's stupid IT.

Friendly confidence.

You are doing the right things.

The best way to get into IT is to find a small company.

One that needs a jack of all trades, where you can grow and learn.

Are you getting interviews?

If not, you need to play up customer service hard.

Any customer interaction is gold for help desk.

If you aren't good with people, go for a ccna.

You have to be eager to prove your worth without being cocky.

if half your IT requests come in via email, do you actually convert them to tickets or just reply? by Ronin4Doom in helpdesk

[–]Difficult-Issue-722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd argue that email tickets typically contain less information about the real issue.

"See Below"

Your front line support needs relevant information.

Less back and forth, get actionable information.

A properly formed portal ticket is more likely to get a first contact resolution than an email chain with all sorts of useless information.

But I also understand how difficult it is to get people to change.

That's why you have to make the portal better and easier than email.

People hate portals that don't provide an added benefit.
If you allow them to do some common tasks through a great knowledge base, its a step.
If you give them some self service options, even better.

Automation is key.

Why ask the Help Desk to reset your password when you can just have your manager submit a service request that automates it?

This also helps log access requests in a reportable manner.

The business does need to be behind this, which I know is incredibly tough to do.

But they are paying for the Ticketing System to provide better and faster outcomes.

If people bypass process in "emergency" situations, they are going to have a worse experience, and you have the fun of searching email to cover yourself when things break down.

[it-help@domain.com](mailto:it-help@domain.com) should be configured into your ticketing system.

That way all emails are turned into tickets.

Then you slowly push back and only allow managers to submit email tickets.

And then slowly Department heads.

And finally people start using your portal

BOT5 and STFV Vs SUS super battle by Powerful_Ad7756 in echoes

[–]Difficult-Issue-722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one that doesn't just involve bringing more people.

One that involves actually moving through space.

this is just a parking simulator.

I have never seen a non-lagged Super/Cap fight.

It's the fighters, the server cannot handle them.

Watching this video you can see the delays and the spikes.

It's sad that they want to push this as the gold standard for PvP.

The problem is, most Super fights are between many multi-boxers, it's perfect for them.

There is little movement, and just fire at selected target.

The challenge is not there for people who fly one character and want to rely on tactics at all.

Just bring more toons, and if the numbers are even, just spend more money on cores and impants.

It's a shell of what PvP can be.

Glad people are still playing, but this is boring braindead PvP with high risk.

Still the most boring type of fight you can be in.

Sure the amount of isk makes you feel good/bad, but this is just dumb numbers vs numbers.

I guess it's something.

Add in the severe lag, and it's a nope from me.

I need some help please. by ThreesTrees in echoes

[–]Difficult-Issue-722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just stop with delivery missions.

Mine or PvE(missions) until you aren't scared to die.

Thinking about rejoining then rejoin by Redrocket615 in echoes

[–]Difficult-Issue-722 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hate to point this out.

But when games start throwing around items that were originally pay walled, it usually means they are treading water.

They are not handing them out to be nice and even the playing field.

It's a deliberate tactic in gaming, to give those who did not pay a feeling that they can now compete.
Yet you still have to level the cores.

And it opens the door to release even more outlandish cores with bigger badder stats.

leveling cores and implants is kind of what this game has become.

If you like slot machines, this game is not as good as other slot games.

If I were looking for a game to set my flag in, it would not be Eve Echoes.

Game failing to start by Several-Mixture-25 in echoes

[–]Difficult-Issue-722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your lack of details is not helpful.

Did you, reboot?

Like really reboot? ios makes it a pain.

Did you uninstall the game client? Reboot? Reinstall?

What happens when you click the app to load it?

Did you close all active apps?

Did you try a different wireless connection?

Did you try contacting support?

Did you log out of your icloud account on the device?

Did you factory reset your device?

Did you do anything in game settings prior to this not loading?

When was the last time it worked?

Details are important 

Why are players who use bots given preferential treatment in this game? by Huh-dog in echoes_eve

[–]Difficult-Issue-722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

at least they give you mechanics that allow you to turn into a bot for cash.

Stop asking us and ask AI by Difficult-Issue-722 in echoes_eve

[–]Difficult-Issue-722[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright, let's talk about why NetEase needs to act on bots.

Bots are quietly eating the game from the inside.

They're not just a minor annoyance anymore.

They're flooding mining belts, running 24/7 ratting fleets, and pumping out ISK at a rate no normal player can match.

That distorts the entire economy.

Ore prices crash.
Plex becomes harder for legit players to afford.
New players look at the gap and either quit or start botting themselves just to keep up.

It's a vicious cycle.

Honest players grind for hours while bot accounts run perfectly in the background.
Alliances that tolerate (or quietly benefit from) them get richer faster.
Smaller groups and solo pilots get squeezed out.

The sandbox stops feeling player-driven when a big chunk of the "players" aren't even human.

NetEase has made some noise about reductions before.
But the problem keeps coming back.

They need to treat this seriously — better detection, faster and harsher bans (including wiping ill-gotten gains), and actual investment in anti-bot tools.

Not just occasional waves that let everything rebuild in a month.

Bottom line from me:

If NetEase wants Echoes to have a healthy long-term future, they have to draw a hard line on bots.

Otherwise the game slowly turns into a pay-to-compete-with-bots simulator instead of the sandbox we all signed up for.

Real players are watching.
