You Corp is a good example ....You train and educate people, because Dust 514 Tutorials and New Player experience sucks, you practically doing CCP's job, taking the role of something that should be a GAME FEATURE.

no but you can expect someone who picks up a fps to be able to get 1 kill..i had no problem getting 1 kill when i began...blue dots nowadays are pulling 0/16 0/13 0/10 ..and i have seen the same results from your students.(is why i leave match when i see dust university on my side in pubs)maybe you should up your recruiting standards to exclude people who suck at fps to avoid this kind of mockery?

The new player experience does, indeed suck. However, CCP has been taking the necessary steps on improving it, and the new tutorial system that has been introduced can be worked on and improved. It's a start. However, what you fail to realize is that DUST University would still be around even if the NPE and Dust 514 Tutorials were wonderful and on par to what we want to see. There are still plenty of aspects in this game that we cover.

With your previous statement, it honestly sounds like you want CCP to waste time, money, and man-hours on making tutorials for every little thing in the game, rather than... you know... adding content to the game or fixing existing bugs.

I guess it's a bad thing to help new players stick around to the game that has a sucky tutorial system.

When I think "meta-gaming" I think scamming immediately. Scams are great. People on the lookout for scams or over doing them is not. I'm against this class on the sole purpose that you are going to possibly teach people how to look out for scams. Which is bad for my business. Thanks anyways

Don't get me wrong... i think you guys do a great job, i just saying that CCP shouldn't use your Corp as an excuse to Push Back something that in most games will be Priority Number One ;

- Strong New Player Experience
- Comprehensive Tutorials

The game shouldn't been release without that two things. Is like the "Holy grail" of gaming.... The MOST have thing.

As far as I'm aware... CCP isn't using our corporation as an excuse to push back the NPE and Tutorials. In fact... myself a couple of other tiered members in D-UNI have been pushing for a better NPE and Tutorials... we have a suggestion thread on our private forums that our CEO mails out to CCP on a near weekly basis.

Trust me when I say that we want a stronger NPE and improved tutorials.

Are you really this ignorant? Please tell me you're just trolling and you're not actually this revolting, intellectually. How about we start screening children for dyslexia and blacklist them from ever getting into a public school? How about, any time a child is graded "F" in any subject, we expel them! It's DUST UNIVERSITY. Players who go "0/16, 0/13, 0/10" are part of our demographic. We want them to join so we can help them get better. DUST University doesn't have expectations. We accept everybody, from the elite FPS experts, to the players who've never tried an FPS.

I'm sure you're too lazy to actually check player lists every match and leave when you see D-Uni on your team, but if you're not, I'm glad. I know I wouldn't want a fool like you on my team.

I would like to request further lectures on the following topics:

-History behind each race (have like 10 minutes brief summary, followed by 40-50 minutes more in detail for those who'd listen, like me) <- so roughly an hour. PER RACE, mind you. I don't want no wishy-washy talk rushed because all races were crammed into one.

-What happens in EVE. What you guys put into this I leave up to you. As a 99% DUST player (played EVE trial and am thinking about getting serious about it next year) I am mostly clueless about EVE. For example, for weeks after PC was introduced, I thought 'plexing' meant the act of trading PLEX, those in-game time cards. Confused the shiet out of me. I thought, what the hell is FW doing influencing that? I only realised it was short for complexing, and what that meant, after some research. Maybe 30-40 minutes for general explanations about EVE with 1-hour sessions specifically on a certain topic within EVE.

Would love Q&A sessions for these too. HOWEVER if EVE Uni does these lectures and they can be accessed from DUST, point them out. I was thinking though, EVE lectures may contain terminology foreign to the average DUST bunny. Referencing hotkeys, for example.

-Technology behind weapons. Perhaps some of your teachers may understand how lasers, plasma, snipers work? How they should work? How they SHOULDN'T? Would be interesting to know some of these logical flaws and the gaping holes where realism clashes with good gameplay. Short or long, depending on the interest of the lecturer. Maybe no Q&A as it could get controversial.

-Even just talking about forum threads of interesting topics, and getting people to express their opinions. I'm sure that it is the vocal minority on this place constantly; I'd love to see you guys report back on the community's views on an idea expressed in a forum thread.

Additionally:

-Streaming? I don't know, this may be a bit of a stretch, but DUST offers gameplay that will captivate audiences far more than EVE could. Perhaps streaming a game and describing what you're doing, etc.

Anyways, good luck with this lecture. I won't be attending personally but I hope you don't get too many mic trolls.

You're playing the wrong game. Go back to Battlefield or CoD for your gun-shooting fix. DUST 514 is going to have Meta Game.

ignore this guy, he is a pathetic troll. just look at his recent posts, he is not worth the bytes his account take space away from the server.

and beside that, the last time I saw this guy in game he did not even made half the WP I did

It is the same I say about you and your whole Dust University. You are not worth anything and please leave.

Edit: Beside the face, that you took a bribe from EoN and you are ANYTHING, but neutral. You should not be allowed to call the stuff you do "teaching".

I fully agree and +1.

These hypocrites should be kicked out of Dust and never come back again ... whole Dust University.
Never had a good experience with those guys, when they were in my team or my opponents.

Bad play, lack of teamplay, won't even let you join their half full squads and they cry like babies in forums.
Gg no re

Cute how this random scrub tries to look tough. Please tell me more...

I dont know if you're being serious.....

But aren't you a redline tanker?

Cute Dust University ... 6 man died to NPC Corp
Show me your skills?
Tasty

Wooo...I go to sleep and look at all the posts. Fun times. This is good. I scanned through most of it. But Someone said something that caught my eye. Forum trolling is a form of Meta Gaming. People take the time to say anything negative they can to get a rise out of people and provoke a response. It can be used in many ways. Most people do it just for the laughs, some have alternative motives. Either way it is a promotion of what this class is about.

Meta Gaming is such a broad subject. So many aspects can be use to manipulate the game we play. I honestly don't feel it is something CCP hoped would allow them to slack, but leave things open. Allow the player to create their own universe in which they can become almost anything they want.

Yes, the game is still a long way from complete. I couldn't agree more. We as players should take the time to constructively come together and help CCP understand the biggest issues at this moment. Which I think we do already on some levels. Think about what you are saying as well. Are your ideas based on absolute fact, or just random encounters in which you did not benefit from? We as players have more control over the progression of this games development then any other game in history. Dust & Eve. Be thankful for that.
