for why they wouldn't bother playing it?

Me and many of my frieds had the same issue.
WE bought stuff, thinking it was one way, it ended up being something else.

I stayed with Dust.

But when they realized they had to start playing all over to actually test/play as something else they dropped it.(they all had between 5-9 million)

Thats 6 players lost because the lack of respecs....

Good going CCP / Community.

Good, CCP shouldnt just give out respecs cause someone wants something new, if that was the case then everyone would respec every time something new becomes OP. They should have picked something and stuck with it or saved to get the new item. Respecs are only warranted when the skill tree changes drastically

My friends quit cause of dicks running proto in instant battles.

Good because if a player gets to proto level he deserves to stomp on other players with them having nothing to do about it....

Its people like you that drive away new players by pub stomping them, so its you who is the problem with this game. getting proto does not give you the right to stomp others, use proto where it matters i.e. PC and FW.

Rusty Shallows Black Jackals 370	Posted - 2013.09.09 04:38:00 - [31] - Quote Not so much as leaving rather than drifting in and out of the game. Repetition, poor game play issues, or other more interesting matters being the culprits.
Rupture Reaperson Greatness Achieved Through Training EoN. 271	Posted - 2013.09.09 04:40:00 - [32] - Quote Oh I can answer this one. -Stale maps -Balance handed poorly. -Lack of game modes -Lack of thrilling moments. -Lack of overall fun. -Matchmaking. -Pointless weapon variants -Aim assist (Now) -Squad disbanding (Now) Also other reasons for me: -Starcraft/Dota 2 ladder and competitive scene is amping up pretty nice. -Civ 5 is quite fun -Waiting for heartstone As for my friends: -Dota 2 -Low SP starting pool. -****** detection. -Pointless gun variants. -Matchamaking and toxic comunity while not having a GOOD corp. -CCP listenning to fanboys. Yep I think that covers it pretty much.
Pandora Mars Afterlife Overseers 308	Posted - 2013.09.09 04:42:00 - [33] - Quote Interesting thread. That happened to me with the most of my friends. Reason 1 - Aiming feels sloppy and clumsy (this happened during uprising 1.0 and 1.1). Reason 2 - Unfair and unbalanced game. They didn't like the "RPG" progression style. Reason 3 - Poor graphics.

BARDAS DUST University Ivy League 442	Posted - 2013.09.09 05:06:00 - [36] - Quote My brother is a twitch gamer and hates the FPS games where you can shoot someone for more than 2 seconds and they are still alive. He felt that if you get shot you should be crippled or dead. He went on to say that even if we had future technology like shields weapons technology would have kept pace with it to neutralize it in a few hits. Had one friend try it for a week and quit because of the Eve skill system and Pubstomping. Had a co-worker try it and he left after a weekend because he did not like the game play elements. He did not explain exactly what he didn't like.

Athena Sentinel Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 5	Posted - 2013.09.09 05:17:00 - [38] - Quote - Its still beta compared to other games (Soon a new F2P FPS built into PS4) - They die a lot at first without SP - The graphics are crap - The combat is slow - Beta complaints a lot (different glitch and so ons) - It is easy to gimp your character and it takes a long time to fix - Compared to any finished FPS'er on he market it is way not up to par. That is all the stuff I have heard that has lead to quitting. Usually it is a few together.

Are you telling me they hated being good, or they only enjoy games where they get stomped by anyone who has been playing for a year + Contrary to popular belief, a lot of people hate having computers do stuff for them. When I play board games and such, I don't have computers make the plays for me. What's the point if all I gotta do is move the cursor in the director my target is at and the computer will do the rest?

The dungeon master is OP. Do you see how silly it is comparing things that are completely different to make an arbitrary point?

meri jin Goonfeet Top Men. 340	Posted - 2013.09.09 05:43:00 - [41] - Quote Well, let me start by first and quit explaining who my friends are: I have around 8 friends and colleges who own a PS3 and play on a daily basis. Some of them play a lot of BF3 and a few third person shooters like uncharted. No one is a CoD fan; no one is using a KB/M. Our age is from 29 till 40. We meet ones in a month in my flat and play. We use to play BF3 and Borderlands/2 and switched to Dust514. No one is playing Dust anymore. Maybe we will switch to Diablo 3 this weekend but IGÇÖm highly motivated to show them the new 1.4 Dust. Two people are giving Dust a chance right now (this does not mean that they love it all of a sudden). The rest have quit it for the reasons I like to list now: (please donGÇÖt forget it is what THEY said) Every single one of them has tried Dust and I will sort their comments: Every one said: Hitting things was impossible. --- Way to difficult and their asses are getting kicked merciless. --- No AA, lags, KB/M against them as DS3 users. They couldnGÇÖt win a damn match. (well is what they told me) ---Matchmaking placed them against too strong opponents. --- Hitting was an Issue The graphic sucks for a FPS. --- Textures are bad. --- The looks of the map is boring (boooooooooooooooring like one said) --- The maps are missing details (like the Metro Station in BF3 one said) --- The maps looks like halfheartedly build (referring to the placing of the assets) Assets --- Absolutely no free vehicles, for a game with vehicles inside no one get a chance to drive on. --- Militia vehicles are sht and to expansive for very new players. --- The turrets are destroyed very damn time and they couldnGÇÖt use it. WAY to complicated (relating to the skill description, they donGÇÖt know what to skill) --- No TUT or explanation at all. --- No guides and no starting classes to show good examples. (lets be honest here, the start fitting sucks hard) To expansive they could do sht. --- Me and they didnGÇÖt realize that there are a lot of militia weapons to try before specializing something --- Me and they didnGÇÖt realize that there are a lot of militia modules to try before specializing something No single player complain --- Missing PVE --- Missing Co-Op --- Missing a away to earn money outside of multiplayer (their asses are being kicked a little too hard) --- Missing a way to earn SP outside of multiplayer (their asses are being kicked a little too hard) Some said: There is no motivation in playing: (a couple liked the long term motivation) --- They see that it is a ultra-long way to drive something --- They see that it is a ultra-long way to use something --- They see that it is a ultra-long way to fly something --- Playing only multiplayer sucks, no motivation in this. --- No motivation in general (missing balance, GÇ£why do I as a noob have to fight this hard core fcker?GÇ¥) No changing environment --- Destroying buildings and wall like in BF3 --- No map progression --- No night/day , no weather. Only a few said:* The orbital is unfair. --- The whole squad was working towards the Orbital but only the squad leader gets the kills on his account (DonGÇÖt forget that some of my friends are very organized BF3 players and that a good K/D Ratio is crucial for them) Squad management sucks donkey balls (actually wording) --- No commander mod --- No reward point reward for squad leading (SL) --- The SL gets the kills from orbital, (they are saying that a SL should get something else and not the actual kills from the orbital) --- No Squad reward (the little WP donGÇÖt count to much for them) --- The wheel is kinder crappy

Duran Lex Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 229	Posted - 2013.09.09 05:55:00 - [43] - Quote To actually respond to this thread, Most of my friends liked the game, but felt they had better things to do then grind out SP each cap. They collected passive SP and played every other day. Then occasionally, then rarely. "Some day i might come back and see how the games been developed, but as of now, not even 30 million SP would keep me playing the game in its current state. I enjoy killing others, sure. But why bother doing it in game that doesn't seem to know what it is yet, or what its going to become, and has a community that not only plays the game consistently, but seems to hate doing it at every turn. That cocktail is only going to end up in ruining the game." I tend to agree with him on most days.

Rahl Draak Fraternity of St. Venefice Amarr Empire 12	Posted - 2013.09.09 07:21:00 - [48] - Quote Aim assist is for casuals and tools. Even "they" know it. Doesn't matter, though, as CCP is simply testing to see what draws more microtransaction $$, catering to elites or teenie boppers. Everything else is moot.
Quill Killian Better Hide R Die 262	Posted - 2013.09.09 07:40:00 - [49] - Quote shrug Most of my friends already have regular, full-time 40-hour week jobs GÇö or more GÇö and simply got tired of the "grind" that Dust 514 represented. To them, getting involved in Dust 514 was almost a second job and, frankly, the one (paying) job is enough.
RedZer0 MK1 Opus Arcana 38	Posted - 2013.09.09 08:20:00 - [50] - Quote Intially all the modules and skills are overwhelming. Without a real tutorial, mistakes will be made. Which leads into to the next problem, no respecs. No respecs isn't a new thing, its an old game design mechanic. I can't explain why its good that way, since it isn't. The huge grind isn't appealing either. I played MAG with some of them, and even with 3 game modes it was more ingaging. Domination is dumbed down skirmish, so its only 'Zones' and 'Team Death Match'. Overall, its a hard sell.

You have the option to turn it off. But if that was the case, NO ONE WOULD PLAY ANY CONSOLE FPS. lol I've played both on my rig and console. And enjoy playing on console just cause it's more comfortable for me. AA off or on should not be messing up any fps vet. You might be dying more, but you should be killing more too.
