Watch the whole vid, I don't have to say much and I agree with most of what he's said.

ya I don't know why he wasn't aiming at all, but he doesn't use the AR/PR much. He mainly uses shotguns, side arms and the laser rifle so obviously he kinda sucks with the AR/PR.

He hasnt mentioned the fact that those proto stompers actually are part of the ecconomic from dust. Sure they dont buy AUR but they stomp the opposition which means the guys who had a really bad day might spend some money to get proto suits at lvl3 to keep up with those guys.

I sound conspiracy theorist here but it does make me believe there is some form of Goonswarm stuff going on. A group of people just trying to destroy things for their own amusement. I understand what in a MP game people will exploit systems, but it;'s just so crazy here.

He's spot on with, almost, everything.

There are issues with the game that have existed since 1.0. AFK farming being one of them. Have fun playing in Oceania. Because you'll be playing against 3 other people whilst the rest of the team AFK farms.

Chances are also high those 3 people are decked out in proto gear. Or, the new FoTM, brick tank scouting with a cloak and assault combat rifle. All proto too. Have fun not doing anything against that player.

Guess what? You can't avoid that. I remember when the open beta come out and any person who had played before would routinely dominate. I would constantly go 43-3. Destroy everything. Then, I got a message from someone who said "stop playing against us new people and play against people are your skill level."

Well, I couldn't do that. Sure it was the open beta and several days prior they wiped everything as they moved the servers. But, the point still stands and it is still an issue with the game today.

There are matches where I recognise specific players and I think to myself "for **** sake. I don't want to go against that irritation proto stomping wanker and be dominated". ... then I just turn the system off. I don't want to do FW due to the face team killers are still present and premades with an obsession with dominating and winning are everywhere.

I think for some weird reason there is an urge to kill people in games like first person shooters. I'm curious what sort of happenings you expected in Dust?

I expected something that was balanced and fair for players? Especially new players. It's designed AGAINST the people who haven't been playing for a long time. Something that isn't a complete slog most of the time. It's filled with people exploiting it for the sake of doing it. I know people are going to do this in a MP game, but other MP games have WAY MORE PLAYERS so you don't see it often.

Not the case here. You see it everywhere. It's stuffed for the sake of being that way. And a bunch of players are happy to keep it that way. Good job making sure the game goes nowhere even faster than something with no legs on a bike with square weheels.

I agree with the sentiment... however, I think he places far to much blame on the player for the state dust is in.

ultimately it falls on the shoulders of the ccp dust team to make a game where this either cant happen, or is discouraged through lack of profitability. right now, for instance a district makes money for doing nothing (I call being perma locked nothing) and then can spend that money in pubs stomping and potentially just make more isk. furthermore those types of players have all appropriate skills for their roles maxed, and they can be put up against people fresh out of the academy...but I cant blame the people who do this.

they are simply playing the game ccp has built, and however distasteful, cheap, cowardly, or whatever brand you put on certain player actions and practices, ccp made it possible for them to do it, either purposely, or ignorantly.

pyrex does admit ccp needs to do something because certain players are exploiting dust mechanics, but it has been this way since FOREVER! lol....

ccp's track record has been to drag their heals on almost everything that needs fixing while adding elements that were never discussed nor a concern of the community and breaking dust gameplay even more.....

Who the fucks cares. Its a video game not something competitive.

CCP you guys respond way to late to clear gamebreaking problems pro-stopers should just have there own mode like a teir system.

1 basic
2 advance
3 proto

I always felt that a better solution is to tier matches by meta level instead of the flat basic/advanced/proto groupings.

Basically there would be three tiers for the total meta level of every item on your dropsuit,so theoretically,you could run proto gear,but only on one item because you would more than likely go over the meta level cap for the match.

So just to throw some numbers out there,the low tier matches would cap at a total meta level of 8.Mid tier matches would then start at level 9 through 18.Finally,proto tiered matches would be 19 and up.

Gran Turismo 5 had a system like this in place with a point system for your cars that were allowed into certain races.This is definitely something that Dust should adopt.

Only in Pubs..... FW and PC should have no gear limits.

I guess my perspective or mentality is conflicting...

I am a firm believer that any venture, no matter how small, should receive a 100 percent effort with nothing held back.

School, work, sports, and videogames... etc

If winning is a product of giving it my all, then I apologise. However, I am not going to change.
