Unfortunately I cannot recreate the NPE by myself, but I am happy to squad up with new players, and do some "tutoring". I'm not a super-pro FPS player, but I do know the game mechanics rather well. Now if I could only manage to set up everything perfectly on my PS3 at home, you should start seeing a lot more of CCP Archduke in DUST 514. Question - should new players add the scary sounding "DevHangout" chat-channel where I can usually be found, or should we have a new channel for this, maybe "NPE"? I can swing a sticky thread to notify people about this here, that should count for something, right? Keep the name, but notify new players of the channel and how to add themselves via in game mail. Majority of players are not on the forums, so why expect new players to be?

So I tend to lean towards more swift yet deadly playing methods, basically, I'm a good shot who likes to keep moving. Should i go for gun first, or suit and which suit? And when should i start putting SP into my core passives, and which first gives the most benefit the earliest? The best advice I could give is to make some militia fits and play around to find out what you like. You can speed fit the Minmatar Assault, or go the light suit -> scout route. Make fits with both and go with what makes you happy. Find a racial assault rifle variant you like and take it to level 3. Work on core skills like shield/armor, biotics (for speed), electronics and engineering. Then I'd work towards your suit. Best PvE idea ever!
REDBACK96USMC Ghosts of Dawn General Tso's Alliance 13	Posted - 2014.08.21 01:56:00 - [94] - Quote If you feel the sp disparity is no big deal. Create an alt, give it no isk, and use it for the next couple of months alone. Don't play a few games then say eh not feeling it let me play my main! No, if you want to stand by your bullshit then you play for a couple of months only on that alt and see if you still feel sp isn't a big deal. "But how will I grind out the sp cap on my main then?" Why would you need to? You just said you only really need about 4-5 million sp to be effective. _______________________________ I have been capping an alt for the past 4 months. I have to say there are ways to be very competitive with less than 4 mil SP (My alt just broke it this week). I am still rocking a positive KDR on him too. This is the first FPS I have played since the Original Rainbow Six back in 96-97 so there was a large learning curve when the game came out for me. I actually now send isk from my LOW SP player just so I can bankroll this guy and my crazy "for the glory of Leroy Jenkins!" antics in pubs.

Great post this one - My advice to new players is to think hard about how you spend your SP and create a good fitting asap. Do you still get free stuff when you join up? I remember getting a Dragonfly suit which i still use for Ambush Isk grinding. I generally get a positive kdr in these games and always get a positive isk reward because no matter how many deaths i suffer it's never more than the reward. In that suit I make sure I've got extra armour, extra shield and always always a damage mod - maybe 2. Definitely equip remotes and learn to use them. and above all make it a rail rifle. easiest weapon to get mid range kills and stand a chance of surviving through distance alone. this is all easier said than done of course but this kind of fitting should give you a fighting chance from the off. when it comes to SP you should absolutely skill into your basic dropsuit upgrades (armour, shield, biotics) and think about upping the CPU/PG output of your suits so you can put more in them. Because of the way the game works you will definitely reach a point (probably around 8m lifetime SP) when things just click and you notice your stats making sense instead of being embarrassing!

So I figured what the heck I'd give it a try and see what all the hype was about. LIES!!! if you'd honestly heard about CCP and DUST514 you'd have avoided it liek the plague honestly the new player experience has been known to be horrendous for over a year and nothing has been to to sort it and seeign as the games pretty much dead i can't see anything being done about it either Rolling with the punches
