Today, 7/4, I must have experienced some of the worst players that CCP games has to offer. Both in DUST and EVE Online.
I don't mean to get off on a rant here (or maybe I do,) but holy frakkin' crazy bantha poo doo. This day started out horribly. First, EVE Online. I'm out mining asteroids. I'm badly in debt now since I've now been pod killed three times in the last month all by players who freely admit that they did so simply "because they could." I have lost almost one billion ISK in ships and equipment. But the mining is going good. Then, two guys with "Kill on sight" status enter the asteroid belt and kill me in three seconds. CONCORD shows up and destroys them. Suddenly, I am hit with a bounty from one of the attackers. A little investigation reveals that these two were paid to attack me by the last guy who pod killed me. That player killed me because while I was salvaging a wreck, I must have inadvertently looted it and gained suspect status. But that player did not like the fact that I didn't want to talk to him the next day and ordered a hit be put on me. Great. I'm now out another sixty million ISK and cannot afford to replace the ship or the equipment on it. So I'm back to using a Venture and sub-par mining lasers for several days. But even if I get enough ISK to buy back all the stuff, the EVE rule of "Never fly what you cannot afford to lose" comes in to affect. More use of the Venture and no leaving 1.0 space. Grand. EVE game ruined.
Fine. I'll switch to DUST. It's past Wednesday. Bonus SP is up. Being a logistic, I hop in to a few standard battles. Five battles in a row are absolute and utter squashes. But what really annoyed me was that in at least three of them, I was in the process of hacking a turret when an ally, in his tank, promptly destroys the turret. Well. That's just great.
Enough of the "melting pot" general fighting. Let's find a good squad and see if there is a bit more team oriented activity. Not much activity there because people who make rooms to form squads do not ever play the game. They just make the room and sit there. Even if the room fills up with people chatting "Go," they never queue up. Thirty minutes of that and I find an active group. "Sure, logis r great" they say. BUT I cannot play with them without a mic. I chat to them that I do not have a headset that will work with a Playstation. They inform me that this is fine. I just need to listen. I turn on the mic volume and in to battle we go.
I am not making this up. All the talk the leader and the four others in the squad did was say "F-bomb, f-bomb, f-bomb, f-bomb, f-bomb, f-bomb that guy, f-bomb this guy, f-bomb, f-bomb, f-bomb, f-bomb that guy's mother, f-bomb" aaaaaaaaaaand "f-bomb." This was the reason I had to have a mic to group with these guys? To listen to them curse like angry managers? I left the group after the game was over. An hour later, I received an f-bomb filled mail from one of them that I should never revive them again with my "tranne ject, you stupid c-word." I carry an advanced injector that restores 80% armor on revive.
Suffice it to say, I feel like I'm drowning in yet another toxic gaming community. How am I supposed to have fun at these games with such "wonderful" experiences? There must be some secret to playing CCP games that I'm missing. So, I ask "What is the secret?" How do you enjoy playing with things like this being the constants? I freely admit I cannot solo win a DUST game. And the real-time aspect to earning your way to better equipment makes losing feel like a 2x4 to the head. What am I missing?
Oh, and please, if you're going to say things like "Get a thicker skin," "cry more noob," "lol u suck," in response, just don't. Haven't I dealt with enough immaturity today?
*Edit. Even the forums are not helping. This is the third time I've tried to post this without the forums saying there is no text. Life sucks.
If only I knew it required you to buy a skill before you could actually hit your target...

Is finding a corp really the answer? The last corp I joined in EVE invited me to a fleet mining session, dropped a book mark in to the middle of a pirate group, and then laughed when I warped in and was promptly destroyed.
There are so many jerks and morons that I just don't know who to trust. And their recruiters all say the same things: "We are a good group, we have fun, we wouldn't act like that." Then they do.
I can only imagine the fun people in DUST would have. Like a factional warfare bit where everyone on the team kills you until their friendly fire marks are used up and they laugh at all the equipment I've lost and have to repurchase.
Who are the "nice" corps out there? Maybe I'll look them up.

Quote:I call bullshit, the ADV version only revives 50%,the Pro revives 80%,the "State" exclusive revives 100%.
Any real logistics would know this.
I was TOLD my Minmatar medium logicistics suit gave a bonus to my injectors. I could have been lied to.
It is difficult to see just how much armor was restored, take the revived target's total armor, and then calculate the percentage of armor I restored in the thick of battle. I wish I could do that. Sadly, I was born human and not Vulcan (much to my everlasting shame.)
In any case, I did not deserve being cussed out for using a "tranne" injector. My current injector is an advanced model and not a militia version. I would like to think I am not a "noob." But opinions seem to vary.

Quote:Don't forget--if there's one thing in life that we cant, its that Teamwork in a group is what distinguishes the best mercenaries like Boba Fett, to some no name like that changeling female-monster in Starwars. Albeit, they both worked as soloists but I think you get my point :3
You mean Zam Wesell?
