The problem is the marketing... this game has a low player base because frankly no one knows about it. I stumbled onto this game because my cheap a** was looking for free games on PSN. Other than a spot on PSN I have never heard of the game. Tell your marketing guys they need to step up and get more people into this... although im hoping that most of CCP's time is being dedicated to bringing this game up to speed on the ps4 and perfecting it for a major release (with proper advertising) bringing in a large player base. Just me dreaming...
I'm right behind you...

CCP know very well it would be a waste to market this game right now, because it will just lose all of those players it would get.
The game is not ready.
Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

No... It's the game. This game is a really bad experience after academy for new players. Pubstomping and the lack of a matchmaking system makes this a nightmare.

This game isn't ready for publicity
This is true, until CCP can see player retention rates increasing (probably through PVE) then I doubt they will do a push for it. When they do see this though, I think it would be a great idea to make one of their cheaper packs (like $2 or $5 pack) an offer on PS+, that would definately draw some players.
While there is no better place to be wealthy than the Gallente Federation, there is no hell worse for the poor either.

I'd say the game is not a mainstream game by design. It follows in EVE's footsteps in that is a sort of Hardcore mode with a LOT of figure it out on your own.
Because it is not easy street there will never be a huge number of players.
But I agree with you that the game is pretty good for being free and there could be many more players if more people tried it.
Proto pub stomping is not fun for new players
New players won't like getting tank spammed and won't have enough ISK to learn in tanks.
Poor match making isn't fun for new players.

All very true,
Also from things I've seen from people who I personally got into the game, a lot of the time they get lost in their merc quarters and don't know how to start a match or navigate the menus. Also they don't understand how to get into corporations and to join squads so they end up giving up on the game out of frustration.

On that note, some players start with their screen-settings wrong and don't know about the neocom and communications tabs. I saw this when setting up a friend to play. Subtle and easy to fix, if you can figure it out. |

I'm amazed at how I came to understand the game with no instructions included. I sucked at the beginning, but I kept experimenting.
My mindset was on "learn mode" and I liked that. I was discovering on my own.
The odacity of ppl pubstomping now is just wrong. |

Market the game as soon as new players have something to do. Meaning PvE. It's been 8 months since release. Almost everybody is able to pull ou a proto suit or 2 by now.
Really. The skill and fitting system doesn't work as long as the new players have no way of catching up without getting pub stomped.

Pretty sure they said they are holding off on the big marketing campaign until they think the game is ready for it. CCP may be struggling some to get the game where they want it to be but they aren't stupid.

I would have to agree. An example would be the last time they updated this site. http://blog.us.playstation.com/tag/dust-514/ |

The real problems started when we went to the Tranquility server.
Why not switch it back for a week, see what happens?
