LOL, It's ironic how most of us "don't want to be heavies" (cuz they haven't buffed my assault HMG), and "don't want to be a scout (cuz CCP has something against us scouts), and "won't fly ADS no more" (cuz they didn't fix the [censored] nose camera), and "don't want to play this game anymore" (cuz this [censored] game is broken--and besides, they don't respec me).
But when someone new steps in the room, we ALL want to be teachers...
"I need some advice, because this game is brutal on new players. Can you tell me the-?"
"Buy the Rail-Rifle and skill into double mods with--
---buy an advanced cloak and use and alternate character to---
----squad up with two logibros, a HAV RE expert, and get proto riot shoes---
---join the dropship corp 32 to learn fast flying,... you must geh--------SSSTOOOOOPPP, Lol !!!!
ISSAC, don't follow our advice---don't listen to us. Most of us on this forum are lousy players at Dust... LOUSY, LOUSY, LOUSY players at this game (YES, me too, often times).
Dust is INTENDED to be mean on New players, punishingly mean, and we were all crushed and trampled under this game, each in her own way... but mostly due to preconceived fps ideas we carried in the front door with us. Lots of us who consider ourselves "successful" STILL don't know how poorly we're playing this game, and how SO much better we could be if we only stopped treating this like "the olther fps" we played. The advice we're giving you now,... we don't even know if it will help you---it's only the path we think WE should have taken to successfully avoid the beating we took when we started the game. I like Crimson's advice, but Isaac, any of these tips may just make you blow your hard-earned SP on a path you won't realize you regret until 3 months from now.
You've already splurged SP and ISK on fancy knives... How do YOU know you want to be a scout (assassin) doing Ninja kills? Lots of players have found Ninja killing in Dust nowhere as satisfying as other skills and "pimped-roles" they created for themselves in this game that you just can't make up in other fps titles. Dust is like a blob---no distinct promises, and all your choices are at risk.
You have an advantage over most (maybe all) the players who posted here---because you're not a previous FPS gamer, so you are free-minded with no prejudicial expectations brought in from other fps games. LOL, right now you're actually better than us.
So seriously, DON'T spend any more ISK and SP, reaching for weapons and Scout suits. Nope! Play this game on the CHEAP--
1--Use ONLY enough of your SP only to unlock each weapon you might like. TRY it out,...don't BUY it.
2--Use ONLY enough of you ISK to shop in the MILITIA martketplace.
3--Use ONLY the free suits that are already in the dropsuit menu of your living quarters. Live like Ebeneezer Scrooge, don't laugh!
These three laws let you just have fun with the game, if you decide you want to be just a weekend casual visitor.
And these lawas will protect your assets if you decide you like the game so much you want to be an addict for 6 months, and learn what's up with this game. 6 months from now, you may decide you were wasting your time being an assassin, and that turret-gunning is really your drug-----There is a HOLY CRAP boatload of stuff you need to learn here, and this game is just waiting for you to waste your money/SP on stuff so it can strip the skin off you and dance on your pennyless corpse (...like it did us.)
We mean well, and we do want to tell you the right things. But, think of those movies where the guy wants directions to the Northern City, and he sees this dead dude nailed on a post with his arm tied up pointing "North". ...Holy-
His hand is pointing in the right direction, but Isaac I don't think I want to try any ofl the paths that HE took.
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...
