Dust is not easy for new players. Too many have been scared away by the complex system, competitive community etc.
Fortunately, I think PvE can help fix that. Let PvE act as a tutorial system.
Have a PvE mode for Academy level players which auto-fills squads with new players. You need team mates to be successful in Dust but new payers don't know that. Auto fill squads of noobies in an easy PvE mode, let them communicate and learn together. After the match they can discuss their fittings together, and keep trying, or enter actual PVP matches or whatever. But regardless, I think starting new players off like this would do wonders for player retention and the NPE in general.
Who cares what some sniper has to say.

PvE won't fix it, in fact it may be more discouraging than PvP because noobs will be thrashed by NPCs rather than players. They shooting mechanics need to be fixed before anything will work. Although I agree PvE should also be the introduction, easing players into the gameplay. |

What do you think needs to be 'fixed' with the shooting mechanics?

Pve should just be added period. Can't just rely on pure pvp for this game, if it's going to have rpg elements. And i agree with Jackie, the shooting mechanics are horrible, doesn't matter how good you are at an fps, the shooting mechanics are straight sh!t. I seriously believe that a game as old as Quake has better shooting mechanics and gunplay than Dust. Anyways yea i agree with you pve should be added, but not just for begginer training, more for lets go take out these rogue drones and whatnot.

Keep in mind I use the term broadly, when I say "Shooting Mechanics" I refer to the gameplay as a whole.
The controls are laggy, I'm used to playing games on the PC but I do dabble in console shooters. Dust's controls don't come anywhere being as fluid or smooth as those of any modern FPS, and in most cases they even feel sluggish
Between the choppy framerate and the lag, managing to actually hit a target can be a bit difficult. Then there is vehicle turret aiming, dear lord unless the driver stops to jerk off for half an hour you will have a hard time hitting anything.

Besides encouraging and tutoring new players on the PvP system. The PvE should also be a thing for real battles.
Just like BF2 used to do. Hell I'd play that one over any new Battlefield game. |

PvE is a good way to train players because the difficulty can be set to whatever they want. So easy as hell early battles that give crap for payout? Good teaching tool because its easy, but not lucrative enough that someone more experienced would waste time on. So thrashed by NPCs? That's really a function of how difficult they make it.

I have recently playing Destiny and the PvE is pretty good. It is a good example of combining both worlds (pvp and pve).

To be honest, just a blank practice arena where I can test out a new fit on the basics, speed, targeting accuracy/distance, jump height, reload times etc. would be nice.
At the moment the only way to test new fits is in-game, which isn't ideal. It'd be like the army deciding not to bother testing their new equipment before giving it straight to soldiers in the field. |
