A lot of you are correct about this being a hardcore game for hardcore gamers, but everytime someone comes here to suggest anything to help player retention people jump up to defend LESS player retention?!? I don't understand how saying "it's a hardcore game" in your best burly man voice helps the issue at hand?
We need more players playing the game! If checking our egos at the door is what it takes than so be it! We know you've got 20 mil + sp?! Guess what? Nobody cares! We know you been playing since closed beta?! So what?! Just because the game was a BETA! Doesn't mean it will stay one forever. Time for you closed beta elites to get off your high horse. You've come into this game and built a castle around yourself of corp members and proto gear?! You think yourselves big men, and there's just no way anyone below 20 mil sp should even have an opinion?! It's just a game guys sorry?! And if ccp wants to continue having such a ground breaking game and concept, there gonna **** some of you closed betaboys off.
Or the game could die out, and we could be stuck with yet another COD(god forbid). New groundbreaking ideas is the reason we're all here! Introducing this game to new players now is detrimental to player rdtention completely! I wouldn't dare mention dust514 to anyone right now! Are you nuts? The true reason we're all still here is because we've fought so unbelievably hard to get here, and we're hooked! New players aren't?! They ARE hooked to COD and battlefield though! And we're not gonna convert them from those titles, as groundbreaking as dust is, with tank spam, unbalanced weaponry that's subject to nerfing, and an unforgiving progression system that is etched in stone as far as your sp goes smh?!
My new alt has reached 2 mil, and i've only spec'd into weapons lvl 1. Assault rifle, combat rifle, and rail rifle. LVL 1! Swarm launcher lvl 2 for obvious reasons, and explosives too. Everything else is into upgrades because they don't change. They also effect the player overall movement speed, shields, and armor. I've saved up 500, 035 sp afraid to spec into anything before 1.8?! I force myself to fight at basic lvl, and increase my stick skill, tactics, and income.
We have to bring new players to the game, or face the inevitable dying off of the game. I proposed the game stay everchanging and adaptable. Nothing wrong with updates and changes. A final version, in my opinion, will ruin this game. A big fault falls on ccp in the advertising department. This game, for all intents and purposes, is mostly premoted by other players. Not dust advertisement?! Dust is in the free-to-play section in games on playstation store. Most mainstream players don't ever get past the welcome screen. Most videos about dust are on youtube, and is largely false advertisement about what the game COULD be. Not what it is?! It looks awesome with the advertisement of becoming a titan, but then a logical minded player quickly realizes that it takes forever to get to that point. And some players are halfway there, and have been playing for 2 years!
Eve has high security space for new players to evolve, while dust is the wild wild west! There should be much more salvage, isk, and rewards for playing in, as you guys say, a harsh hardcore envirement! CCP doesn't have to OP market weapons and vehicles to make sales if they would simply work on advertisement and new player retention.
Save the hardcore talk for your facebook?! Most of you 20 mil + sp players are nerds, and the most hardcore thing you've done is refuse to leave game to help your mom with the trash lol!
Give it a rest school boy ::)
