Hello Mercs, I'm new to the game (10 days) and I have some... ehm... A LOT of questions. If you're willing to help me (thank you!), prepare for a lot of text... sorry...
So, here we go:
1. I started trying the Scout class and my first thought was: Oh my God, this game is incredibly hard... but I was wrong! After 1 week of frustration, I made another character to try Assault and... whoa, it's amazing! I got my butt kicked out of the Academy in 2 games... (on a side note, isn't the Academy way too quick?) but it's much better now!
Enough said, I terminated the poor Scout guy and I'm having a brand new start with this Gallente girl. I think the Assault class is much better and I'm loving the Scrambler rifle and the Assault rifle is pretty good too.
I just played the Academy with this character so far, but I'm ready for the merciless world out there, this time!
So... about my build: I'm getting better armor plates and repper for the low slots and I'm considering Damage mods for the high slots, but I haven't spent my SP into them yet. Is this a good build? Considering my suit (Gallente assault) and my weapons, would you recommend something else or my idea is just fine?
2. I'm LOVING tanks, but they are too expensive. I managed to keep my tank (Soma) alive for a whole match, but it's not easy. If I die, it takes 2-3 games to get back all the ISK. Of course I'm using just the Militia stuff, so my tank is weak, but... is there any way to reduce their price? Or to gain more ISK? Or better tanks are so good that you can stay alive easily?
I think I should get a Madrugar and then better Heavy Repairer and Hardeners for my tank and maybe a Plate, but will I be able to fit all this stuff? The Active scanner is helpful to me as well. I like it. Would you recommend anything else?
3. Where can I make a "Looking for Corporation" thread? I've tried DUST University with my biomassed (lol) character, but I didn't like it too much. I was looking for some "instructors" or something like that, but the majority of time I just ended up squadding with people like me, without any experience, who often play much worse than I do, though. I have a lot of experience with FPS games, at least, so my gun game is decent.
What I'm looking for is a bunch of friendly players with some experience, so I can learn from them. I'm tired of losing match after match, I want to experience some actual team work. I'm used to cooperation with my team in other games like Battlefield or CoD and I want the same here, but unfortunately my friends don't like DUST too much... *disappointment*, so I'm alone in this adventure.
I'm 24, EU timezone, my mic is NOT working, so I have to purchase a new one. I'm planning to get a full headset this time, but I work part-time and I don't swim in money, lol. It will take at least 1-2 months for me to get one. English is NOT my language, so it's going to be a bit challanging to communicate with other people, but I'll try my best.
Thank you very much, any input will be greatly appreciated!
See you on the battlefield! |
