DUST Search - There is hope, try squad finder.

Dust has hope. There will always be hope. I was reminded this during my use of Squad Finder.

An obvious very young child joined me and a few other 'vets' and was as bad as blue berries get. But he reminded me an important lesson - even if you're not the MVP, even if you go 0/12 and your team curses your name, you can still have fun. Giving him 5Mill for no reason made him jump for joy - he was ecstatic. He called Dust514 the best game ever and wanted to tell his friends how awesome people are in this game. It was just 5mil to me - I can throw that out daily and not feel it. But a small gesture brought someone so much joy - it echoed to me. I given 20mil to 50mil out to people who don't even blink at it, vets who've taken advantage for what they work for and forgot the joys of playing as if it was there first time.

Even with it's apparent flaws - Dust can be a fun game. I think PC bled the fun out for a lot of us when we put the tryhard hats on. so I implore you all - try squad finder out - meet some new berries, and see things from there perspective to better help your own. I've been meeting all sorts of new people - and the joys they get from this game, and the epic moments they share with me, even the joy of them driving around in my 300k LLAV, really helped bring light into this game for me.

I know this is just a useless thread from a troll, but I wanted to share this.

Theres still plenty more people who haven't realised how much of a contradiction naming planetary conquest as such is. It should be called carebear organised lagquest. Hopefully, eventually people will get standards and start whining about it as well but a lot of people have played nothing but sub par games coughconsolecough their whole life don't even understand how sht it is.

I-Shayz-I I-----I 1317	Posted - 2013.11.10 09:55:00 - [20] - Quote I've been playing like this since Day 1. When PC came out, I tried it for a while then promptly told myself I was done with big corps. So I lone wolfed it for about 2 months when I decided that I still like playing with squads. Eventually I joined a few chat channels and found a few guys that I play with regularly that make pub matches fun and enjoyable. Now I do things like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9OUEQFfao0&feature=youtube_gdata_player Links: List of Important Topics I make logistics videos!

Eventually I joined a few chat channels and found a few guys that I play with regularly that make pub matches fun and enjoyable. That. Channels saved my post-Corp life. Squad Finder hasn't been terrible, either. Squadding with other known trolls/warriors, Nooberries, and sometimes (though rarely) a mix of the two, gives you a healthy perspective of the whole game. I probably throw out 10,000,000 ISK to strangers every week, just to keep them levelheaded a little while longer - all while managing to just about break even on my own account. Charity isn't just a stripper's name. Cheeseburgers.
Michael Arck Anubis Prime Syndicate 1793	Posted - 2013.11.10 11:20:00 - [22] - Quote Speaking of strippers, when I was 15, I watched a stripper spit out a 8ball from her magical place. enchanting, indeed.
The Eristic Sad Panda Solutions 64	Posted - 2013.11.10 11:54:00 - [23] - Quote I try to keep a Public squad called Noob-Friendly Pubs up whenever I can. It gets a lot of hits, both from noobs and vets looking to help. Positive community interaction is a real balm to the harsh wounds this game immediately inflicts on academy grads and struggling sophomores. If we make collective efforts to keep people playing, even if they're clueless and terrible now, some of them will eventually become good players, some of them will be good people and we'll all be better off for it in both cases.
Nguruthos IX PEN 15 CLUB 2135	Posted - 2013.11.10 12:41:00 - [24] - Quote Don't mistake the good nature of players for some accomplishment out of CCP. CCP has been rely too comfortably on the quality of their playerbase rather than the quality of their content for a while now. And that can't last forever, mines certainly turning sour. fix the bloody ds turret bug since Uprising.
SoTarian PoParrazi Shining Flame Amarr Empire 56	Posted - 2013.11.10 19:51:00 - [25] - Quote Squad Finder really is a gem. But it's a hit and miss gem lol Wish I could put an SP limit on my squad finder sometimes though.
Jaysyn Larrisen OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 243	Posted - 2013.11.10 20:14:00 - [26] - Quote Great post, SoTa. I've recruited quite a few guys that way. Beyond that, when you see the game from a different perspective and frankly, it's pretty fun. One interesting anecdotal piece of information... I've informally found a VERY high retention rate of new players when they have positive experiences in their early stages. That's a pretty nifty thing for the game period. I always try to help out new guys; spending 20min talking a guy through the skill tree and how to fit a suit is huge for them. Meet a newberry, coach him for a little bit, run a couple matches, pass them a little ISK and you've done them, you, and the game a solid.
