There are no restrictions of what gear you can use in the Eve universe. I

So... how are those Titans working out in High-sec space?

Have you made any bombing runs with your stealth bomber in High-sec?

Perhaps you used your interdictor to create a bubble and trap some people in High-sec?


Oh... wait, you didn't. Because they actually restrict usage of things in high-sec and you're an idiot.

This works in Eve because you have a plethora of other systems to which you can go, could you be pursued? Yes, though you still have somewhere more that you can go.

This isn't so in Dust. You either stick around for a match that will end up being no fun, leaving the battle or AFKing, none of these are good options for player retention.

If they give us free roam open world environments (at least as much as they exist in Eve), then the philosophy can be applied, until then, something else needs to be done or there will be even more longterm negative impacts because of it.

Lol. A fps player knows the drill.

If anything killed this game its vehicles.

That is so entirely rediculous that IN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS VIDEOS HE IS IN A TANK OR DROP SHIP TALKING ABOUT HOW GOOD PLAYERS RUIN THE GAME.

FACEPALM/smh/omfg.

Same sh*t just a different day. Pyrex isn't one to talk.

Everyone who works on Dust And CCP in general better be watching this videos and listen to its message or there will be no hope for this game =ƒÿó

I agree 100% with these videos please CCP take the steps no matter how drastic..

After you fix matchmaking and planetary conquest reset everyone's ISK to zero or maybe give everyone 20mill to start, it will be a equalization before evening out the game =ƒÿâ I would happy give up my hard earned 150mill isk made only in public matches over the last two years if it helped=ƒÿ¦

This isn't a State. It's a Business. CCP needs to do whatever is right for them, in order to make money, in order to pay the salaries of their devs and designers. End of argument. So how can CCP make the most out of Dust? F**k if I know, they pay people for the answers to those questions.

But the bottom line is:

• The PS3 is a dead gen system. The population of PS3 users will only shrink from here. As more and more people move on to PS4 or other the pool of "potential new Dust players" shrinks every month
• The people who do transition from "potential player" to "new player" have bad experiences with the match ups and leave never to return
• The existing pool of "old players" is getting anxious, watching their game shrink, and overall stalling on basic FPS and basic RPG elements alike
• Even the recruiting system is a bust. CCP tracks it for rewards, so they know for sure. But how many people here actually have successfully recruited 10, or 20, or 50 people who stayed longer than a week?

This FanFest is the last chance CCP has to make a splash with Dust. This game can't continue in this state for another year and expect to survive.

So guy who proto stomps on a regular basis is complaining that they are killing the game

This is on par with tryhardbabar complaining that new players dont try in mlt gear against protobears

I agree with him that protostomping and PC scrublords are hampering Dust's growth significantly.

I disagree that matchmaking, excluding PRO dropsuits from matches, or allowing MIL only matches is the way to fix things.

A better NPE would fix things: PvE, better instant battle academy, and MIL variations of every piece of gear.

The Both of those are about protecting people from others. Protecting people that would have done those without the law from themselves is just an inevitable side effect. Protecting people from themselves as a side effect of protecting people from other is just fine but to say they have a duty to protect people from themselves is a bullsh!t excuse made up to justify the state having more power than it ought to and anyone saying they have that duty can go straight to fcking hell.

First off the ps3 is still very alive....ccp still has a long time b4 they transition.
People are the answer though and one simple thing like adding a system will fix this

I have played EVE, since 2003, that is why later in my post i suggest something akin to Sec space rearding picking a battle, high sec- std and mil gear, med sec - adv, low sec- full proto.

The moment he said "nerf buff culture" I just clicked off the video.

I'm sorry but nerfs and buffs are necessary, they're part of a healthy FPS, and healthy MMO.
There is no such thing as "nerf buff culture", if you find that your favorite fit gets nerfed all the time, maybe try the not so overpowered fits?

I will say this, that limiting the gear players could use by match won't make a difference. I was in a game yesterday against a squad of Fatal Absolution. They all ran standard/advanced. Maybe one proto. By the end of the game my team raged quit enough for us to only have 9 players left at the end of the match. I was only able to make on their team members rage quit since I went around the killing squad of Fatal's and preceded to wipe out their blue berries. And I was only only running standard with militia gear. But I have over 10mil sp due to all these sp events that these blue berries missed out on. So even though I'm running standard with militia gear new players still arent a match for me. Yes I do die faster then Protos and I do suicide charge since my suit costs me 6k, and you're probably wondering why I avoided Fatal, and that's simply cause I'm in a Sentinel and they had mass shotguns, I gave them a few deaths and they gave me more, by avoiding them I was able to hack their crus, but doesn't mean my blue berries were spawning at them when I had a clear area >.> Only way to make it better for NPE is to give more NPE content through tutorials and prefits, think I remember an old video where they had a prefit militia heavy which is possibly the only suit new players could use and stay alive against protos. Me, I said f these protos, I'm getting tanks, I got bored of tanks and went infantry and haven't looked back since I actually now had sp and isk to stand on my own.

I fully agree with Ripley Riley and R F Gyro--the issue isn't with protostomping per se, it's with the NPE.

I think gear-based matchmaking is a horrible idea. Not only for the reasons described in the linked post, but also because in EVE, it only applies to PVE sites--you can't choose to only go up against PVP players in T1 frigs.

Also, it's just a game. Getting stomped all the time stinks, to be sure, but getting stomped occasionally, occasionally stomping, but mostly playing matches somewhere in between actually keeps things interesting for me.

You have a point but as long as the ones getting stomped aren't new players than that'll be fine.
But they have to come up with some type of system
