Add me to your contacts and message me tomorrow. I can put you in with a couple other new guys that started in the last couple weeks, and as a squad you will find it much easier. I can also help you figure out how to not waste your SPs and ISK. The NPE is tough right now, but it is not as bad with a little help. |

Yeah, that's a thing that happens. Don't worry, damn near every single person who has played the game spent their SP poorly early on.
What's your preferred playstyle for shooters? Do you like getting up into the enemy's face, do you like getting the drop on them, do you prefer to play a support role, do you enjoy suppression, do you prefer close or long range, do you prefer mobility or tank, etc.
It's happened once or twice someone couldn't pay the price, and I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals.

Yeah..STOP SPENDING YOUR SPs and don't join any corps....you need your ISK.
Like I said, get up with anyone of us here to help you along. We can help you spend those SPs in the right places and get you to where you make higher WPs and ergo ISK/SPs per game. The best suggestion is to work with one of us who is on around the same times you are and enjoy the game. Just message me in game tomorrow evening if you can't find any help.
If you try to do this in the forums you will not be half as successful as you would using a mic and chatting in-game. |

Ok, wall of text incoming. I'm pretty sure I will miss something so bear with me.
This game is VERY fitting-centric. Every single dropsuit in the game is fully customizable at all levels.
There are several attributes you need to be aware of on your dropsuit at first.
CPU and Powergrid are actually two of the most important, those yellow bars you see that go up and down when you change stuff actually determine how many things (and how powerful) you can put on a suit.
The starter fits are all militia grade template fits, AKA the worst suits in the game. Once you get out of the "Battle academy" these fits don't hold up well in what some of us call the shark tank.
SP is what you use to unlock more powerful dropsuits, modules and weapons to fit on your dropsuit. The skills you learn apply bonuses to your suits with synergy.
The best way to start is to pick a race and a specialty and stick to it religiously.
If as a starter race you chose Gallente or Amarr, your fits are armor-centric. Your shields are less critical of a concern in combat.
If you chose Minmatar or Caldari, your shields are your primary defense. Armor is secondary. Minmatar also tend to be the fastest.
If you choose not to take Blaizen up on joining his corp to learn, here is the quick and dirty recommendation:
Choose a dropsuit frame skill and get it to 3, choose a weapon and get it to three (I do NOT recommend heavy dropsuits as a starter choice at all).
Read the skill descriptions carefully. your choices matter.
Dropsuit Electronics and Dropsuit Engineering upgrade your CPU and PG respectively. I recommend both to three ASAP.
If you chose amarr or gallente, the armor skills are critical, and I recommend them to 3 each to start ASAP.
If you chose the caldari or minmatar I recommend them to 3 ASAP.
This is a fast and dirty Skill plan, not an in-depth one, but it should get you started.
I HIGHLY recommend joining a corp, if not one offered by a player, DUST University is a Newbie Training Corporation, run by people who care about helping new players.
This game isn't like any other, and requires a certain amount of intestinal fortitude and patience. But we (The CPM) are working on improving the New Player Experience by giving the Developers feedback.
Good luck.

Unfortunately your problem of not being able to kill anyone will remain until you can run better gear and have more SP.
BUT
as other people have said, if you run in a squad you'll be able to contribute in other ways and are more likely to enjoy some success. There is a squad finder in-game - jump in a squad, let people know you're new and sooner rather than later you'll find some people willing to let you tag along.

Battle academy is where you spend your first few matches against other players. It's not horribly obvious. The only warning most new players get that they were in a protected mode goes kinda like:
1st Match: I'm doing ok, this is new but I'm not getting trashed.
2nd Match: Still doing Ok. I think I'm doing better,
3rd match: What do these warpoints mean? I'm actually doing pretty good!
4th match (or once you've hit 1000 Warpoints) "Sweet jesus what the hell is happening to me???"
WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary. This means Quafe suits are the optimal loadout for killing all of you.

Definitely not an out of the ordinary experience. This game is by far the most complex FPS I've ever played and EVE is the most complex game I've ever played period. That being said, this is my favorite FPS because of the depth. You can create a loadout to cater to any play style.
Hang in there it gets easier with SP. I found in the current state of the game, that dropping uplinks was the easiest way to average 8-10k SP per game. They aren't so great at the militia level but upgrading to Uplink Deployment III in your skills will get you access to the R-9 Uplink. You can carry 6 of them, have two deployed at the same time and they can spawn up to 9 clones. Each spawn yields 25 warpoints, if both your uplinks get fully used, that's 450 war points. And you can do that 3 times throughout a match for 1350wp.
This is a best case scenario of course, but landing anywhere above 800wp will get you decent SP gain. Take your time and go through your skills and read the descriptions throughoughly. Do the same with militia gear in the marketplace.
When you're next on join the channel Teamwork 514 and Fury 514 and you'll find many helpful individuals. I will send you some isk when I return from vacation Monday.

SMURF0012 INFECTIOUS wrote: prefer run and gun. and enjoy sniping even though i suck at it.
If you like run and gun you might consider putting points into Biotics (Cardiac Regulators for more run/jump time, Myofibril Stimulants make you jump incredibly high if they're stacked and also make you punch hard I guess, and Kinetic Catylizers increase run speed) and Armor Plates (so you can use Ferroscale, which gives you a mid-tier amount of health with no drawbacks, and Reactive, which gives you low tier amount of health and a small boost to Armor regen, but lowers your speed by a very small [negligible] amount.) Armor Repairers, because having a healthy regen is wonderful, or any of the shield categories, though investing in shields takes a bit more than armor, unfortunately. For run and gun playstyle, you'd probably be best going with Minmatar racial suits, which are basically the runner race. Good for people who like being quick and hard to hit, and they have the potential to be tanky. You'll want either Assault or Scout, but be warned that MinScout has basically no HP at all. Being tapped by anything will floor you if you aren't tanking it.
In addition to the above suggestions, remember that it's also very important to put levels into your Dropsuit Engineering and Dropsuit Electronics because that's where you get pretty much all of your CPU/PG so you can equip anything decent. Don't worry about leveling them up to start out with, as they are very expensive SP-wise. But just remember that you will need those later on.
As for weapons, assuming you go Minmatar, you'll probably want an Assault Combat Rifle unless your trigger finger and aim are both pretty good, in which case the regular Combat Rifle is more powerful, but you have to tap R1 for each shot. Personally, though others will likely suggest something better, I like having an Assault Combat Rifle and a Scrambler Pistol. If you can get a headshot in with the scrambler pistol (laser weapons are the shield killer weapons) or can get the drop on them, shields will be down and you can swap to your combat rifle, which is stronger against armor, and blap them before they've turned around.
Another very important note that applies to pretty much everyone. Keep moving. At no point should you be standing still. Running across an open field? Strafe as you run, occasionally break sprint and then start up again. It'll help throw off snipers. Assume there's one out there, and assume they may be looking at you. And if you know for certain a sniper is training on you, jump occasionally. Bunny hops are annoying as **** to hit, especially the headshot they want so bad. Are you hacking an objective or installation? Wiggle back and forth and squirm in a circle. If someone comes up behind you and catches you distracted, holding still just makes it easier to line up a headshot. If you're moving while they're shooting there's less reaction time between the first shot and you turning around or booking it, because you're already set on moving around and so there isn't a panic moment. And then of course the firefight itself. Keep that wiggle up. Circles, back and forth strafe, long strafe, short strafe. If you can throw off your opponent's aim then you can survive longer and you can maybe get them before they get you.
I know it sounds really clunky and weird, but once you've got the hang of it it'll be a lot better.
If you don't mind a monetary invest or already have one, a headset is great to have so that you can hear people walking up on you, the charge of a nova knife, the sound of a scout decloaking, etc. Headsets are amazing to have in this game.
And then I had some other things to say but I've gotten everything completely jumbled and forgotten most of it. Good thing I'm not a teacher.
It's happened once or twice someone couldn't pay the price, and I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals.

Choose a dropsuit frame skill and get it to 3, choose a weapon and get it to three (I do NOT recommend heavy dropsuits as a starter choice at all).
Read the skill descriptions carefully. your choices matter.
Dropsuit Electronics and Dropsuit Engineering upgrade your CPU and PG respectively. I recommend both to three ASAP.
If you chose amarr or gallente, the armor skills are critical, and I recommend them to 3 each to start ASAP.
If you chose the caldari or minmatar I recommend them to 3 ASAP.
This game isn't like any other, and requires a certain amount of intestinal fortitude and patience. But we (The CPM) are working on improving the New Player Experience by giving the Developers feedback.
Good luck.
All these points are extremely important. Thank you for making a point of them. I personally recommend training all relevant skills to 3, just as you say, and higher if necessary to unlock other relevant skills. I've found that level 3 is the most achievable significant skill level and I can't stress the importance of training EVERYTHING to that level, weapons, CPU/PG, suits, modules, everything. Then level 3 (advanced) suits can be fitted with advanced modules, advanced tank, and advanced weapons, everything matching, including considerations of PG and CPU.
It's easy for a noob to succumb to the temptation to train something they think is important like a weapon, to level 5 only to find they can't fit it on a suit without sacrificing tank, due to limited CPU/PG. Training everything evenly to level 3 in the first instance will keep this sort of thing under control. |

ive got alot of the skill that ive been working on. just trying to get the skill paints. is only at 4000 or less per game. thats gonna take a long time to hit well over 1,000,000+ to get most of every thing to a skill 3. Also if it matters or not. I downloaded the game from my ps3. went ahead and bought the starter pack. for .99 cents. gave me a bit of aur. but i never want to spend that stuff. |

Yeah.. STOP SPENDING YOUR SPs and don't join any corps....you need your ISK. Like I said, get up with anyone of us here to help you along. We can help you spend those SPs in the right places and get you to where you make higher WPs and ergo ISK/SPs per game. The best suggestion is to work with one of us who is on around the same times you are and enjoy the game. Just message me in game tomorrow evening if you can't find any help. If you try to do this in the forums you will not be half as successful as you would using a mic and chatting in-game.

Focus on one role for spending your skill points. Do you want to play as heavy, medium or light? Then what type of suit?
Heavy has commando (two light weapon slots ie Combat Rifle and Mass Driver) and sentinel suits (one heavy weapon slot and one sidearm slot).
Medium has assault (more hp/shield but less equipment slots) and logistics suits (less hp/shield but more equipment alots)
Scout suits a mixed bag depending on race, but they are usually used for stealth objective taking while using weapons like shotguns, nova knives and snipers. They often will be the lowest hp/shield suits around.
Focus on one type of rifle, preferably the one that works with your suit. I see that your avatar is Caldari. Are you planning on using their suits?
Skill points will come easier with time. The more adv. gear you get the easier combat will become and the more equipment you unlock will make it easier to farm SP even in losing games. I'll be on later today and I will send you some isk. |

Where does OP say the spent months gaining SP? The only mention of months and SP I can find is this:
Outside of spending months of getting shot to hell all day long to gain the skill points necessary to be able to kill one person with a clip instead of shooting the clip into there back then when you reload then turn around you and flick you so you die.
... spent months doing x activity... Implies it has happened - Past tense ... spending months doing x activity... Implies it will happen - Future tense

1 day old characters don't come on the forums and start whining about proto. Which is the jist of the statement.
There's no way to prove it, but I'm pretty sure it's you or the other whiner that spam the forums about proto gear.

If you join an active Corp and squad up with people it won't take long to become effective.
Dust is a different FPS and it can be an amazing game. Playing solo can be super difficult for someone with over 100 million SP.
Join the channel Fury 514 and I'll keep an eye out for you. The best advice I can give is to play like your hair is on fire, don't get discouraged if you die a lot. Lots of veterans can't kill in Dust so they help support people who can. You won't find that out until you die a lot trying.
If you play Dust solo, odds are you'll be gone soon.
Seriously, port it.

Thor -
Ah OK I see where you're coming from now. Not a new player as in not new to Dust. I effed up. Can't prove that either way without devhax.
And I agree that the timing is suspicious. It's not me but if it's someone else then I'm with you - that's not the way to work this sort of thing out. I think I should also say that I respect your position of not just believing someone when they make a statement like 'stat modifiers are killing NPE', especially when they only have assumptions to back it up.
Speaking of assumptions, I'm working on some actual numbers to try to find out if what I think is right. I don't have much yet, but I do have a start. Daily new character creation is at 3x the daily logins. That is, for every character that logs in during the day, three are created. That could be alts, but man that's a lot.

Something is odd, though.
I'm in the same TZ as the OP. I only play casually anymore, but when I play this toon (~ 55 mil SP), I get into fairly decent matches that are a mishmash of solo corp players (some may be squadded, some not), solo NPC players and sometimes a pair of squads. Sometimes the squads are on my side, sometimes not.
It doesn't take too long before it's clear which side will win. If I'm on the losing side (I'm often solo), there's not much I, as an individual, can do against one or two organized squads on the other team. Their squad comms and sticking together make it impossible to engage 1 v 1.
I typically run advanced gear (adv suits/weapons, proto modules) and I almost always beat by proto suits.
Keep in mind, my mu is low.
Contrast that with another toon I've been playing, which is at a much lower SP level (~13 mil, iirc). This toon gets into matches of equal or lower leveled players. I see lots of militia gear and weapons in these matches, as well as clearly less "educated" player behaviour.
It would seem OP should end up in these lower tier matches with/against players of similar SP levels and gear.
I still have vague memories of starting this game towards the end of Uprising 1.3, where, as a clueless blueberry, I tended to spawn into kill boxes until I learned not to do that. Even spawning more intelligently, by not knowing the maps I managed to feed kills to a lot of Duvolle AR wielding veterans who already knew the ins and outs of the various maps and the main routes of travel. |

I have under 6mil lifetime SP. I played about 15 matches last night and quite literally 13/15 matches were stomps. Sometimes my team, mostly the others winning but EVERY game had less than half of the other players numbers. People leave even when they see one person down.
And what was extra sickening last night was nearly every game South American corps were always running proto, or there was a T.U.R.D.R.O.C.K. proto team, who would farm your clones and then finally your MCC. Real classy. |

What server do you have selected? If it's "auto" then change it to your region.
Were you in a squad or solo?
What game mode? When I encounter what you are describing I de-select that game mode and find a different lobby.
Honestly, I didn't start to have "fun" with this game until I reached about 20 mil SP (fairly well allocated). |

Key difference in this game to other FPS games, you will be at a severe disadvantage for months to come. It's like playing the Iron Banner in destiny when you are level 1 and everyone else is above 300 light. You won't stand a chance until you get your skills up to a reasonable level.
Others may argue but squads, nope. You are going to suck for what seems like forever no matter WHAT you do when you are put against others who have ADV or PRO gear. So either suck it up and get used to dying and losing for a while or just quit and move on to other things.
Starting out, no amount of skill will save you. Unless that "skill" is SP. |

Smurf: what TV size and type are you using? For dust don't use 1080p, use 720p, or if you have component cables use 480p resolution.
Make sure your battle server is set to "America" and not auto.
Make sure that your aim assist is enabled.

BARAGAMOS has been very helpful in understanding what thngs to do and not do in the game and i have played with him a couple of times had me using the uplink thing to get war points up. so that is supposed to help get my skill points up faster. And also to all those ppl said they have sent me isk. unless it goes some were other than in my mail box. i have never recived any but its not necessary as my primary focus will be just to play to get my skill points up. and not spend any thing. The suit that i have been using the most is the Frontline Am starter fit suit. I like the rifle it has with it. |

Tsk tsk tsk. Wanna quote that? Cause otherwise I'm inclined to believe you have reading comprehension issues. I'm willing to bet 100 million ISK this isn't a new player. As Krixus pointed out, he downloaded the game yesterday and somehow spent months spending SP. There's no way to prove if he's an alt, but this is very obvious.
I would like my 100 mill ISK now please. After working with him a couple times he is legitimately new and trying to earn some SP. So, put your money were your mouth is please and pay up. Even better STFU and don't troll, because I'm sure you won't send the money. Most no balls trolls talk big, but never have any follow up. |

Yeah.. STOP SPENDING YOUR SPs and don't join any corps....you need your ISK. Like I said, get up with anyone of us here to help you along. We can help you spend those SPs in the right places and get you to where you make higher WPs and ergo ISK/SPs per game. The best suggestion is to work with one of us who is on around the same times you are and enjoy the game. Just message me in game tomorrow evening if you can't find any help. If you try to do this in the forums you will not be half as successful as you would using a mic and chatting in-game. Why he cannot join corp?? For example we do not have taxes!!
Says the guy that's been in 18 corps in a year with half my SPs and a third of my K/D... Might want to educate yourself before you troll kid. Some of us don't need to corp hop. |

Smurf has been putting in some time the last few days. He legitimately is trying to stick with it, and I can already tell a difference in just a three day span. Fewer deaths and more war points. Gonna get him in a larger squad in the next couple days and I think he may gravitate towards logi for his early career. He likes supporting the team, but that doesn't mean his aim is bad.
If you do work with him, get him to know when to back off the trigger. Because, his biggest issue now is not backing into cover when he gets low. That just comes from knowing the suits/weapons with time and practice.
Any of you guys who have time and want to help just squad with him, or even better TURD ROCK should grow some balls and stop padding stats in his MU, but that's a different issue. Man is that Corp sad. Then he could have some time to learn without having guys stomping him or taking all the ISK and WPs when they are on his team. They aren't the only ones, but they are the most common I see. |

I recommend using and abusing the "Medic" starter suit
Use it as your main fit until you get more comfortable with the game
With this suit the rep tool is your friend.
Try to stay close to other players (especially heavy suits) - as you take damage, switch to rep tool and repair friendlies as your suit recovers
The better the Rep Tool the more War Points you will get which in turn nets you more SP at the end of battle - which is what you use to upgrade your Skills
Get all the following CORE skills to level 1 ASAP and your short term goals should be to get them all to minimum level 3:
Armor Armor Plates Shields Shield Extenders Core CPU Electronics Repair tool
Basically just live in Core Upgrades for a bit
DO NOT unlock any suits until you have these skills at a reasonable level first

We been working on this, but unfortunately there have not been any great opportunities for him to rep on the maps we were in. He is making some bank on uplinks, and focusing on core skills. Right now he is just in grind mode. I plan on working with him some more tomorrow night and hopefully I can just run a loyalty Dominus for him to rep. |

No problem bud! Hope it helps!
Glad Barry (BARAGAMOS) has gotten to squad with you, uplinks are a great way to farm points, especially if you are always conscious of making sure your uplink looks "good" on the minimap. If people have spammed uplinks on top of each other, try finding a spot that would stand out amongst the other uplink icons on the map.
I'll be on tonight around 4pm PST. Join Fury 514 and Teamwork 514 and I'll try to find you.
I also wrote a guide for new players that covers some basics you may not readily know. Here is the link:
