Chris Adrell Vherokior Combat Logistics Minmatar Republic 0	Posted - 2014.08.22 20:48:00 - [1] - Quote First, Im trying not to rage. I'm trying to be mature. That may end as this topic is written. This game is pointless to play, as of now; even with boosters, protostomping by immortals is the status quo anymore. Sometimes you just find people who have maxed MILITIA shotgun or nova knife skills one shotting your basic heavy frame, but you didn't put money into the game or because you didn't register day 1... This is becoming a nuisance. Aim assist doesn't work. IT works arbitrarily; if it wants to, it will, otherwise why bother having it as an option? Second, I see people who are of course using the turbo fire for Scrambler Rifles. Annoying. Those need a range adjustment. Cloaky shotguns, proto-HAV's, or uninstall. I'm going to be in the last category because EVERYTHING IS TOO EXPENSIVE IN THIS GAME As well, just played a match. Got wrecked. 4k SP, 26k ISK..spent maybe that on frame spawns... So, I'm going militia only. And sitting in red zone Why? Why not. Anyone feel at all as I do? This game is a bait and switch. It's a lie. Nothing more. You don't play, you lose. You don't have fun, time is robbed.. until Hotfix Delta is planned, which last I checked, patches cost the company when released on consoles, I'm done. My time is better spent elsewhere. This game is not worth the attention, and will probabl be quietly buried. I hope CCP Logibro takes a memo to the rest of CCP and tells them WHY WE DSLIKE IT so they can record it, then burn it. Unless some nice change are made, Dust will be dust. Those who agree are like me, and suffering at CCP's amusement. Those who disagree, glad you guys are enjoying prototstomping; go back to other games..you will probably lose these grounds soon. /rant

I have fun every time I log in, regardless if I'm using my free dren suits or my proto suits. Then again, I try to run with a good squad and as a result I win more than I lose and kill more than I die. YMMV.
Cheydinhal Guard Abandoned Privilege Top Men. 173	Posted - 2014.08.22 20:57:00 - [3] - Quote Join a corp. Squad up. Playing solo is practically a death wish, especially when you're new. Just give it some time, things will get better for you. AmarrAssault, GalAssault, GalLogi, CalScout GalLogi to the end
Chris Adrell Vherokior Combat Logistics Minmatar Republic 0	Posted - 2014.08.22 21:05:00 - [4] - Quote I don't have voice or keyboard for ps3; I'm not so heavily invested in consoles Secondly, didn't get time to finish my post, had to do something. So, continued.. I do have good games. Some. More are awful. Why? We don't have 16 people on the field; we got THREE at max..the other don't exist. But I've never seen any enemy team half there, half not.. It's just bad luck. I play because there are few sci-fi shooters that are at least designed decently. This and Planetside 2 are it. Firefall is okay..but for consoles, this is it. Thirdly, I'm trying to get better at console shooters. I play PC 99% of the time, and would like to get better..which is futile; I'm doing my best, failing, and not improving because the problem is not me, it's..it's the whole, "oh assault rifle? gratz, it's a big ass smg!" And I've been around, account-age of a year and 3 months now. All the points I had went into AR's. Why? I was decent with them.. A YEAR AGO. Now, AR's don't do jack. They don't even make bullets; I hear the sound but they don't hit targets. Ever. Zero damage.
RYN0CER0S Rise Of Old Dudes 1267	Posted - 2014.08.22 21:07:00 - [5] - Quote Join a Corp. Meet some people that can/will help. 90% of my enjoyment comes from the people I squad up with. Even if you're not on a mic, it's better to suffer a loss/take the win as a group. Add me on PSN (The_Rynoceros) and I can help you find a good home. I don't always blap Infantry with a Forge Gun, but when I do, that ** is hilarious.

FYI, ARs do plenty of damage. I'm at a loss to explain your observations. I'm logging in now, hit me up if you want to talk through things.....Leadfoot
Eruditus 920 Prodigy Ops 353	Posted - 2014.08.22 21:49:00 - [9] - Quote Have your first "like" it will make you feel better. I've been playing about 6 months. I play solo. I was terrible when I first started. Never played a FPS before. But I stuck with it. Most players playing now are like us and didn't start at Beta and have had to run the gauntlet getting the shiite kicked out of us. But if you stick with it you will get better. You will earn more ISK, SP, gain access to better gear, and learn the nuances of the game. DUST is a long term investment. The dividends are paid down the road. It's like going to the gym. Results are not seen after a week. You improve incrementally. But if you stick with it, one day you will look in the mirror and say "wow, who's that guy!" Wisdom is what you gain after you need it.
Nothing Certain Bioshock Rejects 1056	Posted - 2014.08.22 22:47:00 - [10] - Quote It's a double edged sword for me though, when I get stomped it is just rage inducing, when I and my squad do well it is more guilt inducing than satisfying. It is those rare hard fought games that make it enjoyable, but honestly it is the stomping that keeps me playing. I want vengeance. 3 good games in a row for me and I'll call it a night, but getting my face kicked in? I'll be up all night. Because, that's why.

Chris Adrell Vherokior Combat Logistics Minmatar Republic 1	Posted - 2014.08.22 23:46:00 - [11] - Quote I intend to keep trying. Assault Rifles, keep in mind when I say that I am using the GEK-38 Assault Rifle, aside from Militia AR on Medic freebie frame, is an SMG. A big fancy SMG n another slot. It's accuracy is nice, but only at point blank. It has ok range, but the spread makes it awful. Also, console aiming systems. Turn too much, you're screwed. Too little, screwed. Sensitivity? Screw it, there is no perfect sensitivity. And it's NOT easy to change like on PC games where I hit a key, and it goes up, hit another and it goes down. AR's? Just not good. LEt me check my skills; hope I can afford one, but I think I got all but 2. I don't think any new ones help with accuracy or range or spread or turning ability. So far though no guns are actually "good" or "Easy to play with". they're hit rarely, miss a lot.
vincent FF7 514 sephiroth clones 11	Posted - 2014.08.23 00:13:00 - [12] - Quote It is because your camper-call of booty-quick scoping-ultra magnetic AA reliance that are so strong in other games, cease to exist here. You get smashed and the more you play aggressively, the more you die. You are experiencing Dusters shock. It either will make or break you. The real burn is, you're losing to a playerbase that has lost its many tough competitors leaving behind only the few but mostly dumb blueberries.

FPS experience I have i more in line with Team Fortress 2, Blacklight Retribution, AVA..decent FPS with some structure. And I finally had a good game; I got pitted against people who ran in a line and I had an HMG..standard, but it worked edit: dammit. they copied it verbatim..I'll play this like EVE: do what I can, max defense skills, then hope it all goes well
Regis Blackbird DUST University Ivy League 384	Posted - 2014.08.23 05:59:00 - [14] - Quote I would say, stick with it and find a good corp squad to run with initially. Personally I run mostly solo lately due to many factors (very short gaming sessions primarily), which is OK when you get more SP. But initially, running in squads are the best, even if you just jump in a available squad during the match. Try the support role, which is very unique to Dust. Fit reppers, uplinks and Nanohives, and try to stick with a group and watch the WP (and SP) tick in. ( Just be aware nobody likes to be reviewed while under fire) BTW: I tried Blacklight Retribution on my PS4, but it was not my cup of tea. Way to short TTK among a lot of other things I won't get into.
HowDidThatTaste Ancient Exiles. General Tso's Alliance 5189	Posted - 2014.08.23 08:35:00 - [15] - Quote Wow.good question's We will fix these problems? I3f good thoughts could influence this beautiful game
hfderrtgvcd Resheph Interstellar Strategy Gallente Federation 325	Posted - 2014.08.23 08:39:00 - [16] - Quote seems to me like you're blaming your lack of skill on the game. There are so many resources there to help newbs, its solely your fault if you choose not to use them.
