Hey guys, I wondered if any of you ever tried pulling someone into dust and which arguments really worked. Alternatively answer the following. What is it that makes Dust so great? Thanks. |

It's about as fun to play DUST as it is to play with actual dust.

I'm generally one of the coolest people you could ever hope to meet. So, when people ask "what do you play", i get one of teo responses.
1) why, that game is a piece of garbage. 2) i'll give it a shot. This response morphs into response 1 within a month.
I've gotten one friend to join on a semi-consistant basis, but i credit my corp. They are generally some of the coolest people you could ever hope to meet.

If you like leveling a character while playing a FPS that you could never max out with extreme customization for loadouts to do anything in the game Then DUST works for that kind of player.
Usually giving a good explanation to how everytime a mercenary dies they loose that fitting or set of items is an amazing concept for the average console gamer today to grasp.

I consider my self a Dust514 devotee. I preach its word to any one that mentions they have a ps3. I don't even try to sell my referal code any more. Mostly I just talk about some of the crazy matches I have had and all the diversity that can be found In the suits and mods. Most never make it long after academy though because of the poop match making. Nobody wants to play a game that you lose time after time after time. Besides me of course.
Hello? any one there?

If you stuck around longer than a couple of days with this game, you are as unique as the game itself. It takes a lot to persevere while taking a beating for months on end. Dust players are alone in that category. This game is awesome. It's frustrating. When you get even marginally successful at it, that is an accomplishment. If you want to just plug in a game and be good at it within a few hours of game play, this is the wrong place. Anyone who appreciates any of that would enjoy this game |

It does have a lot of options so if you like trying different combinations then you are spoiled for choice
My personal reason for liking that game is that in most other FPS I just would be a derp because I am a bad shot, but if I choose to take a dust 514 battle seriously then I can actually be part of determining the outcome because If I get my proto amarr logi to a good spot with a dropship then the rapid spawns are a game changer.
I am addicted to it however since dust is old, buggy and has a small player base there would have to be FPS that I would like more because there are so many choose from and there would have to be better FPS in the future . |

The isk/cost factor in each pub match pushes you t be cost effective, allowing you to challenge yourself, makes the game more fun, keeps you with the game longer.

I cannot give you an honest argument for why someone should play Dust. It's a bad game.
It seriously sucks.
But I can give you some sales pitches to get someone to try it.
PITCHES -
If the player has heard about Dust and is curious about it: 1. ". . .Well, hey. Add me to PSN, when you get home, we can try it. I'll roll with you. It's a tough game, and you will need backup."
2. "I'll be honest. It has a lot of bugs, and the game isn't everything it could be; but lets play it together, you may like it! It has a distinct charm to it."
If the player has heard only negative things about Dust: 1. ". . .Well, have you played it? It's a very very exclusive game. Dust is an acquired taste, you know? Add me to PSN, and try it. I'll play with you."
2. "Dust has improved a LOT since those reviews came out. It has this great new development team working on it; that really listens to player feedback and is determined to see the game succeed. So if you try it, you may find that the reviews you've seen don't really do the game justice."
3. "Dust is a great concept, that doesn't quite execute properly on the PS3. It's too big for the console. If you played it, I'm sure you could easily see what it COULD be on a better platform. Its potential is no joke."
4. "It's actually better balanced than it has ever been before. Give it a download, add me to PSN, and we can take it for a spin."
If the player has never heard of Dust, then I don't even tell them about it.

Answer to the OP: "Sweet, you have a ps3! I love a game on it called Dust 514, and I'm totally addicted." "What is it? Dust 514 is a brutal hard first person shooter that is like a sci-fi demon's souls. But, it is a squad-based team shooter, so we can play together." "Yes, there are plenty of monstrously good players on there, I love to just throw myself at them and see where the dice lands, I have a blast! Some matches suuuck, some matches go down in history and I even put them on my youtube channel." "Give me your psn, we'll squad up and I'll walk you through the basics, we'll be shredding them in no time!"

CCP has always been horrible at NPE... They have spent the last 4 years in EVE dumbing the game down to try and make it appeal to new players.... And STILL barely explained to a new player how to actually play EVE....
That is all they have done to DUST aswell.... It's CCP's terrrrible understanding of how to teach and explain the game and the tools provided to you.
Example.. They have spent 4 years making EVE online easier and dumbing it down, ANd players still have a hard time figuring out how to get a new ship.... Some spend the entire trial period in the same rookie ship. If you can't even explain coherently to the average player in EVE how to use and buy another ship?
Then really what hope is there for CCP Shanghai if their flagship has had chronic NPE problems for a decade.
Does CCP Shanghai EVER explain what heat on a gun is? or that there is a heat build up meter? I guess we are supposed to just guess and assume?
This was a free to play game that nearly anyone with a PS3 could give a try and have an entrance point to the New Eden Galaxy... CCP Was supposed to craft their NPE and take a new player by the hand and show them how to play the game.. What the tools are and what they do.... And introduce them to the lore and splendor of the New Eden Galaxy...
CCP Shanghai's ability to wrap a new player in immersion for a few weeks is null in void.... |

Someone definitely has to be a masochist to really enjoy Dust. Any CCP game for that matter but Dust in particular. Because it's not just the your decisions and other players hurting your gear or pocket book but it's also the broken core mechanics that push people over the edge. Yet some of us just keep coming back to the razor..... |

i've had several friends try the game and pretty much hated it. some saying its the worse fps game they've played. mainly down to the difficulty and bad matchmaking and being proto stomped, for months i've suggested ways of gamemodes that limit what meta level can be used because thats the main thing that pushes new players around. going from the academy to the general scrub pool is like taking a fish from the little bag you have it resting in and throwing it into the shark tank.
if there was some kinda Academy+ mode where vets could go with new players in and you can only use MLT gear so they can get used to the mechanics without all the try hards killing them as soon as they spawn it'd help the NPE because the amount of guys in my pub channels that are slowly getting fed up of lag, proto stomps, matchmaking and just general 'bad gamingness' of dust we'll soon have no one left. CCP should have been doing this big push 18months ago instead of the last few months of the games life

The NPE is so bad. You get an EVE-like tutorial at the beginning. It launches players into a battle, shows them how to make a fitting, gives them a booster...
And that's it.
Furthermore, when you "graduate" Academy, the sheep is thrown in with wolves, lions, tigers (HA! Tiger scout), and bears.
The moment they hit that is a deciding point. Very few make it beyond this point and understand the full concept of what the game is.
I would add in "and what the game could be", but many people might shoot me down on this hypothetical.
We need meta lockout or something to prevent protostomping.

I squaded with a random guy the other night. He is at a couple million SP at 25 days played. He is buying boosters hand over fist. I asked him, "well, you are new. Why dust?"
And he said that he found the concept appealing. He is tired of fights with real guns on earth or semi real environments. He likes the fantastic nature of the Dust. So apparently that can be a factor. |
