Its like folks haven't played other FPS MP that has slaughtered them upon first entry. Yes, New Eden is a jagged pill to swallow but if I and so many others have done it, how come they can not?
Because in Dust it is so much harder to level up equipment and abilities, the differential is wider, takes longer to close and is ever growing. The situation will only get worse, it is harder now for new players than when I started 3 months ago and if you started 6 months ago it was easier, if you've been playing longer you really won't understand.
Yea because I can't remember how it was when I first started. Please, I understand greatly. When we were rookies, we didn't cry as much as you guys are doing now on the forums. The main argument was protostomping. Other than that, we didn't seek ways to have the game assist us in getting better. We aligned with established corps, asked questions, squad up with more experience players to help keep us from dying much-we made a substantial effort to be a lethal factor in New Eden.
It's not much harder to level up. It takes longer. There's a difference.
Plus, you guys have a wide variety of choice when it comes to weapons and dropsuits...compared to when I got here and you had few items...all that were used by vets that tore us to shreds.
Its not hard to play a few matches, gain some SP, let some passive SP gain, (can't even forget that you guys now get daily bonuses compared to when we didn't get any daily bonuses) and to level up some core skills that will give you some more time on the field. Not forgetting that you can pick up a lvl 1 weapon besides miltia and get going.
It doesn't take long to get a GEK, a CR or a RR. All three weapons are critical to your success
I understand its rough but its not as bad as it once were. Stop playing so many ambushes. All new players just run to ambush. Play dom where the SP stacks, you can join random squads, and you won't die as quick cause not all the mercs are in your face. There you will learn strategy and such.
So I don't understand sometimes. If you have the will to succeed, you will succeed. There are ways to get around it rookies, you have to want it instead of having it given to you.
