Why does one want to put in all of the effort and time just to have to be a subsidiary? People keep throwing the whole merger thing around like EVERYBODY should have known! Well, people didn't know because they weren't expecting it to be an exclusive country club. People were probably under the impression that it would be on a comparable scale to what is happening in EVE as far as the territorial aspect goes.
Its whatever. It just amazes me that there are those that are quick to tell you to 'start recruiting' and 'merging happening' when, like what was pointed out, nobody knows what the build holds.
I guess my bottom line is the basic, the start it up and lets me play vs. you isn't good enough to keep many around for any period of time. If the estimate was always that the smaller corps (ALL THE ONES STARTING OUT) would not be around for anything but the short term, again, why not keep everyone in their default corps? That logic just says to me that they wanted to slap together a turd because the EVE people will get involved no matter what kind of garbage it is. Just because its associated with EVE.
If you are a noob and you play your first 20 games and 18 of them were lame as duck, are you going to want to go out and learn more about EVE? I said it in another thread but FPS people are very unforgiving. They typically turn their backs on companies that release a garbage shooter. They are skeptical of companies bringing in new development teams.
Now, if we all just have to accept it for what it is...then why have a beta and ask for feedback? Why when someone offers some feedback or criticism do the bandwagoners have to jump to CCP's defense? Why are people so hellbent on this game not being all that it could be?
If it is just designed to envelop the EVE people and not really provide any real rewarding experience to the DUST folks, then we have been duped. And, it offends PS3 owners. The kind of saps ya'll were looking for are on Xbox. That's another thing that makes me curious. Why not Xbox? Ohhhhh yeah. Free 2 play. Looks like free PSN to be sullied with F2P garbage. Though all this u seem to be missing the fact that dust was never just meant to be a shooter. It has way more to offer for those that want to stick around and learned.
I don't mean to offend anyone either man. It's extremely aggravating because I like the idea, but it just needs some serious tuning, At the heart of it all, when you put a loaded firearm into a gamers hand, its a shooter. This needs to have a whole lot of management and customization and bells and whistles. Because as a shooter, its not that great.
