Why is PvP so damn difficult?

[Christensen]

I still don't understand how some of you can talk in a serious manner about this pvp thing. You complain about setups and min maxing about us "pvpwhores", when there's no such thing being done. I personally fly my sabre the same way as others do, a mine, 2/3 shield busters and rest hull busters. You don't have to overcomplicate things.

This game is as much as anything else in life. There will be good or exceptional people in a work place as many as terrible and useless ones. But we are a generation which has been told that you can do anything you can dream of, well guess what...you can't. Failuire is an aspect of life and we can't all be good at everything.

But of course you love to complain and point fingers at random people who are better than you, because it is way easier to do that than trying to improve.

Some complain about us not giving them enough hints, while others say the youtube vids and forum tutorials aren't enough. Well what do you want us to do? Buy equipment of a few thousands of dollars so i can film myself clicking some buttons? You wont learn even if i do that because you have never actually tried to play this game. You just sat there in your room with your door locked and mashed some buttons on the keyboard crying how unfair is the world when you want achievments without putting any work into it.

So yeah, let's restructure the entire game because you get mad over a few pixels.

What is more sad about this is that some of you are 4-5-10 year old veterans in this game and you still have no clue what an engine kill is. Movement is all this game is about, you get the basics of that and you will improve at a tremendous pace, while aim improves with movement.

Like any other game in this world you can improve by watching other people play. I did, and not only in disco. By simply reading a few of yber's tutorials i realised how easy is to outmanuver someone in any situation.

But then again. This game is not just about skills and how big your guns are, but intuition as well. Through my years of playing i have managed to realise how and when someone is panicking during a group fight or 1v1and know how to attack them or when someone gets a sudden surge of perfect aiming thus i know when to back down.

Of course fights will drag on forever and ever when you dont have any sense of engagement on how to sit behind the enemy or where to shoot at him or even what goddamn buttons to press. If you look at yber's videos of group fights and pvps you will see it very clearly but you wont notice that when you refuse to join a fight because you will lose it and get that very tiny bit of experience to help you in such matters, because after all you cant learn something if you have no clue how to learn it. Much like math, you do problems in order to improve yourself and thus learn from failuires, you wont gain anything by using a calculator that does everything for you.

Me and like many others have been in your shoes, the differences here is that i worked at becoming better instead of satisfying myself with mediocrity and crying myself to sleep when i couldn't do something.

But of course no matter how much i talk nothing will change, because you like this, you like complaining and pointing fingers at me or those like me, because that is what you are best at. You will never come up with a clever argument because you have none, just smash that keyboard into oblivion while hoping you can be as good as me without putting any work into it.

What is funny is that we are having such type of arguments on a game that is over a decade old, and is seriously pathetic.

Life is unfair, you cant be good at everything and you shouldn't have any hopes at achieving something without putting work into it.

I mean seriously you want a gun or a setup to make you as good as an "ace" ? Also recieve buff on ships because your faction is bad at pvp ? Have you ever thought how badly would i destroy you if i used the UN ship in a serious fight ?

Grow a brain a set of balls and do something about yourselves and stop complaining every chance you get. And now i am not being mean, i am just voicing the truth, but of course it will not be taken that way and i will be just another pvpwhore who is butthurt about i dont know what when i couldn't care less. Point is I will enjoy destroying you each chance i get, not because i am a jerk, but because i get a special pleasure at demolishing those who don't put any work into something but keep complaining. Have fun and flame away.
