There isn't much that has changed. At this time my other half has finished her career agents. She has purchased the rest of the skill books that she needs and is busy skilling them up.
With about 2 weeks of trial time left the epic arc for the Sisters of Eve is now in the crosshairs.
While helping her out with the aspects of the game as we go it does show how quickly I can get through the "starting area" and career agents. It's the same in every game, until you know how to get around and understand the game you will be slower, it takes time.
Eve's tutorials and career agents do not lend themselves well to it.
She's asked me to "look at this", "how do I do this" and "where do I go now" a lot, naturally. Even I have been caught out a few times with how the game works trying to explain things. That type of thing doesn't give a good impression of Eve to the new, really genuine starters to Eve. Like the agent conversation not updating properly to recognise that you have item X in station Y. I've found that I open a new convo with an agent to see this without even thinking about it, subconscious workaround.
My idea of equating wow practises to something similar in Eve has unsurprisingly failed, mining asteroids does not in any way shape of form seem to compete with a female goblin mining an ore node all the while delicately holding a pick axe between her index and thumb with her little finger in the air.
What was I thinking!
I've recently updated Star Trek Online and logged into it for a moment, in that moment it showed me a conversation that was better than any current tutorial in Eve. It opened a com link to my character showing the mission giver, having him talk through what needed to be done. Even leaving out the moving head, voice acting is not to be under-rated. The older Eve Aura voice tutorials should be brought back, and edited to be more like an engaging conversation. They are one thing I really missed between my original starting trials when I was first getting into the game.
I've said before that it took three tries to get into the game myself. I'm sure my other half considers Eve to be my game alone. She can't see herself continuing after the trial.
She is getting some insight into what I've been doing (or obsessing?!? about) for years.
I think I've exploited her curiosity. Good timing!
The future may hold another trial. She has some insight and can be quicker off the bat to get into it in another trial. Maybe her second or third time will be the one, only time will tell.
Otherwise I've been doing things on my null alt with mining and production....
