Popped your like cherry.

There are a ton of groups out there helping new mercs like us. Two that come to mind are Dust University and The Learning Coalition. D-UNI does the same as it's EVE counterpart. Join the chat channel "Learning Coalition" in game. There's always someone online to help out. Know they have helped me a lot. :D

Thanks for the response, it's not so much needing help with the skill system or market I've come from eve and generally enjoy complex games, ala dwarf fortress, so I am used to how things go in that regard. Having some squad mates seems to help a decent amount but unfortunately I can't use a mic as I am playing with a keyboard and mouse and only have two usb slots, and this is a bar to entry for most squads.

Frankly its just not worth it when there are better alternatives available. I am primarily a PC gamer and decided to try dust out in an effort to transform my ps3 into something more then an overpriced paperweight. Unfortunately I have been spoiled by this as I am used to control systems that are a lot more responsive, as well as enjoying a higher level of graphical fidelity.

If ccp ever deigns to put this title on PC I would play it, even spend a little cash as I love the art style and the general idea behind this title. But as it stands now its well, just a promise of something more, a promise that won't bear fruit for a considerable amount of time. Ill leave my character to skill up and perhaps if fanfest shows that the development pipeline for this game is going somewhere interesting ill return.

Otherwise I hope you guys get some enjoyment out of it, I can see the potential but well that's just it.

Hi just wanted to know if there were any plans being implemented to improve the new player experience.

Getting stomped consistently, not because I lack skill, but because I'm outclassed gear wise is not fun. Eve and other mmos have areas where new players can develop before being thrown to the wolves while dust you all get tossed into the same pot, and being told to stick with it, when the game lacks full content just isn't worth it.

I really want to like this game, its art style and mechanics are quite unique, not to mention its connection to eve a world rich in lore and general substance, but as it stands its not fun to play in a stilted arena.
