Please, I asked for your opinion not for you to **** talk.

ok.

The learning curve attracts certain players; those who stick around, through the ups and downs, those who watch T.V series like Game of Thrones.
It repels others; those who play apps like fruit ninja and not 'Clash of Clans'. It repels those who watch game shows like 'Wipeout'.

Dust 514 is the thinking man's shooter, which means more maturity, and tactical gameplay. This is why there is a huge learning curve; to keep it from being a 'gun-game wins' into a 'strategy wins'

That doesn't mean there's no need for a tutorial just some kind of assistance. We would have way more players if they were given the opportunity to learn and expand there skill set.

there was no tutorial when the game came out. Now they have something to guide players on how to make fits and searching. Eventually we all learn from experience; i used to run around in a min logi with a cloak and knives...trying to be a minja.

"There is by and large no learning curve to this game. You just get dropped off the deep end and told to suck it up until you learn something or have enough SP and ISK to make up for your inadequacies. Not a lot can compete with the people with billions of ISK from the old PC days, people that can die 20 times in full proto gear in a pub match and laugh the loss off. There is almost no way they could actually go broke they have so much money." "This horrible noob stomp mechanic DUST has is perhaps the biggest flaw in the game. A successful game needs a growing player base to fill in those who leave, and to fund new development. DUST is designed to have such a harsh experience for new players very few stick around for long." This is pretty much what I wish I said. So do think dust should be "HTFU" for new players and why?

I believe the message that was being conveyed is that people with the HTFU mindset are being childish and I don't disagree however I do believe there are some players that do indeed need to HTFU Ah, fair enough.

After nearly 2 years it shouldn't take more than a week to learn what a games about and think about it, out of the millions of characters created us few thousand still play because we learned but what about the other 995,000 players?

If you are reading can you please clear this up? I will try and find the post for you They seem to be leaving after that month than, because I'm not seeing any difference in weekly players. Rattati if you are reading is there a way for you to show how many players have stayed with the game? Caldari Loyalist. ( -í° -£-û -í°) They see me rollin they Hating (..) ( l: ) ( .-. ) ( :l ) (..)
