Why is it that when i shoot someone on dust (ive been playing for four days now...) that it takes me like 30 hit markers to kill them but for them it only takes like 2 shots to connect and I die (ive been 2 shotted with rail guns before and seen snipers do 1700+ to me as well in ONE shot...I frankly dont see how to make this happen even with light weapon daamge ups and a 210 dmg sniper)....even in a heavy suit i die super quick....and ive even encountered this with light suits.....i have no choice but to use crap weapons to start with since im starting as explosives specialist...btw my proxy mines NEVER blow up when someone is even ON TOP of them??? wtf is that crap about.,,,,,ive tried to detonate them and cant....i stick them in hallways that people DO go through and nothing...they just walk right past them and kill me from behind....and ALL exits are covered with them so i know for a fact they are walking past them....am I missing something? this game has alot of potential...but thats just it for now...potential...im about to give up and not play it anymore because if its not one thing its another...this game needs A CRAP TON of work if you ask me (higher sensitivity #1, militia weapons that are actually fair...and much more)....its unplayable and i dont see how to get kills unless you spend 909132485091328 hours dying to make a fitting good enough to actually kill something....im not asking for an instant response to being able to kill someone...but four days 12 hours a day and still going 0-12 MOST games?....i dont get that ****...i shoot them more accurately than they shoot me 90% OF THE TIME!!! YET I STILL DIE!! this is NOT right if you ask me....you should be rewarded for good acc not killed.....ive tried hmg ive tried assault rifles ive tried smgs ive tried rail guns....nothing seeems to work....is militia gear SERIOUSLY this under powered or what?! Ive only bought sniper rifles non militia and havnt really seen anything to impressive about them either...and another thing...why dont you see hit markers for shield shots? LAME...it should be a yellow hit marker then armor should be red....I pick battles smart and know when to encounter and realize this games alot different than COD (which i typically play and ****) I shouldnt suck this much at this game judging by my general skill level on COD (btw I have a 12 w/l ratio on squads if this helps tell you anything about my COD skills...)....is there anything anyone can help me out with ....ive recent adapted to hip firing more often since ADS is fricken turtle paced in this game....is it worth losing the acc?

Wow. You have basicly just written exactly what I've thought of the game in my early days myself! I know all these feelings well. But you might like to know, so does everyone else, other than the Beta vets, who got in on the ground floor and are virtually totally unstoppable. You don't get good in this game just by being generally good. That's not the way the game works. Perhaps it should, but it doesn't. This is the ground-war part of the EvE Online Universe (New Eden). EvE Online works exactly the same way. Your skills determine how well you play, not how good you are as a player. By "skills" I don't mean your ability to play other FPSs. They just don't rate compared with Dust. Sorry but it's true. The real problem, as you will read elsewhere in these posts, is that there is no place for noobs to learn the ropes, playing against others of more or less the same level. This much is quite different from EvE Online, where you get to play PvE matches (missions) against NPE ships that are more or less your level of competence, based on your standing with the corporation which gave you the contract for your mission. You won't find that here. You're supposed** to find that here, but you don't. You end up one way or another thrown in the mix with any number (up to 31) players that are potentially veterans in the game. They will drop your shields, chew up your armour and eat you for breakfast. Your shields and armour are no match for theirs. Your weapons are pitiful in comparison to theirs. Even your ability to use them is governed by skills which you need to train and that takes ages, I mean months for each skill. And you have to train a heap of them. Level 1 is easy. Level 2 is harder, level 3 is much harder. Level 4 is ridiculous. And maybe, just maybe, if you stick around long enough you might get to level 5 of something important. But you have to train them all. It literally takes years. Don't lament not having the skills after 4 days. If you last for 4 months, you might have something you can actually manage to kill with. Yes, you're doing everything right. But your player skill level is too low. Stick around long enough and you will get better. Most don't. For the record, I'm actually a Beta vet, but didn't play back then and only just started again about 3 months ago. I'm only now starting to see some progress. I have good days, and I have bad days - usually more of the bad than the good. But I'm getting there....

A bit of familiarity will help. Additionally, lower your sensitivity down to around 25 on both x and y, dust has very small aim assist. adjust up as you get the hang of it. 25 SENSITIVITY! What are we balancing cups of tea? 100 Sensitivity is the way to go on everything. Not very good advice, bro. Yes, 100 sensitivity is good for those with some experience. But when just starting out, there's no way 100 will work. I'm still at 80, and still working my way up to 100. When 80 feels to slow, I'll increase it but not until then.

If you can master playing in a laggy environment, then you can master dust. You perceive that you have only been taking hits for 2 seconds, but in fact, they have been shooting you longer than that. This explains something for me! I've experienced exactly the same thing myself, and didn't understand what was causing it. Now I do, thanks. :)
