PLEASE DON'T REVEAL ANYTHING THAT BREACHES NDA

I am terrible at console FPS but am genious. How this work?

we actually had a fairly nice roast of them a few weeks ago. People seemed to get upset when we asked about FPS accomplishments on the playstation.

My tryhard friends from halo would consider you to be book smart, but lack common sense.

First off it's a mass generalization so it's already a fail statement.

FPS players to dumb to organize? Whoever has said that has obviously never played FPS games competitively and played against great players, a lot of good FPS players are quick thinkers and actually very tactical. It may just seem like point and shoot to some people but in order to be good there is thought behind every move. Also it's not like all FPS players only play FPS games, I play FPS games primarily and it's the genre I prefer to be competitive in but I also play RPGs and RTS games. Hell I started playing EVE before I heard of Dust.

That being said I'm pretty sick of the high horses that some people are on just because they play a different genre that's more slow and seemingly more tactical and more to it and seriously believe that people who play FPS games are dumb.

Hilarious.

There's stupid FPS players just like there's stupid RTS and RPG players, noobs are everywhere but to state that people who play a specific genre are too dumb to organize? Pffft, what an imbecile.

Most of the hostility from the FPS guys is directed at the way you are warning us. Do not scold us. The thread title says it all. Ddos attacks are pretty standard for pc hassles. PS3? You're kidding me right :)
We will gladly accept advice to combat the "meta game" (cheating). We will gladly accept your contracts, and lay waste to each other. But more than the meta game, we need to know who or how many corps/alliances would be hostile to the swarm. (I'm assuming everyone?) maybe the swarm would be a safer place for us? Until us Dusters see a bit more about that, we will just merc it out.
The trouble seems to me like the swarm have null sec cornered currently. And everyone's greed and distrust is a major reason for this. Dust will bring the 3rd great war. I've done a little homework. The wiki is great.
Atleast high sec will be fun.

Goonswarm is going to be taken out with or without the support from EVE players. They'll be made into the examples as to why zerging almost never works in FPS.

Or call in buddies in EVE

Or in my case, I just have my laptop set up next to my TV with EVE already running.

The lack of respect is making you a huge target for MANY gank ships orbital strikes.

hopefully you and "The Hivemind EntropyVirus" can survive long enough to even have the ISK to start your corps, let alone keep an alliance going.

TAKE THEMSELVES TOO SERIOUSLY.

orbital bombardments aren't as Op as you think, there's cool downs, certain weapons you need to actually DO an orbital strike, and ship restrictions. (titans can do orbital strikes)

NOBODY RESPECTS A BUNCH OF ZERGS WHO TAKE THEMSELVES TOO SERIOUSLY.

I refuse to pander to the PC equivalent of a MAG Zerg clan on steroids. Goonswarm isn't going to do anything in a 24v24 or a 32v32 player battle on a planet except get smacked around and spawn camped in the same spirit as a public match. They might have grown to prominence in EVE by being a Zerg, but it's not going to happen in a console FPS.

God please stop talking about orbital strikes. Is that all you kids know how to do?

I'm tired of hearing people talk about a orbital strikes. Orbital strikes aren't going to be going off when goonswarm constantly sees a spawn loop.

Wait... I just thought of how zerg could apply to Dust. There's gonna be specific control points on a planet that need to be taken in order to capture that planet right? So who's to say those control points can't be contested simultaneously in multiple Dust matches. Depending on the amount matches can be held simultaneously on said planet could affect how effectively zerging a planet will be. Will a Dust CEO may be expected to ration players to certain areas if he hasnt got the manpower to cover all the bases? How would a game of 5 PROTOMANZ go against 32 drunk button mashers go?

Cheap a$$ destroyer class ships can orbital strike? GS can toss those around like the good old days of being nub zergs as proto calls them. with that, they will have shorter cool downs and i could see thousands train the skills and buy the modules for it...? not that much of a hit of ISK to a alliance with trillions in total isk between members. Not to mentions he knows only GS, not the CFC.


with over 5000 members i could see over 1000 having PS3 and being able to EASILY zerg your whole alliance out of new eden calling for your mom's. that's just Goons, want me to guess how many gamers in CFC have PS3s?

You and hivemind should watch out. also that name i mentioned is in EVE "the hivemind entropyvirus" and an alt The entropyvirus hivemind" you need to tell that alliance leader how to hide better..

So sitting at work today and read a blog post talking about FPS player wonGÇÖt be able to forum any kind of group or army because were to DUMB to matter and it came from the Goons (who are the biggest alliance in EVE) who are people we will have do deal with once DUST launches into the EVE Universe

were

to

won't be able to forum

They are not what you think they are. The blob isn't why goons are respected, hated and feared (and yes even admired - they have some top notch cat wranglers in their leadership)

They manipulate, they plot, they meta game. They bring about victory before they set foot on the field (or they lose - every time).

And for temperment, it's more like some of the "leet" FPS clans that won't fight another "leet" clan without the odds already stacked in their favor and go pubbie stomping instead, trying to make "noobs" cry and quit the game.

Unfortunately they are good at what they do.

quality over quantity. They can send in as many of their own mercs as they want, but if they suck (and they probably will) then they wont be that much of a threat. in this build, i could easily take on 5-8 people at once. Taking on a swarm of milita goon swarm mercs wont be that difficult.


Which comes to another point of mine. When we start this attack, goon swarm will be mass producing militia mercs to take us on. That's a swarm of militia units taking on a well trained team of proto users who know the this game like the back of their hand. Who do you think will win?

Also, orbital strike probably wont be happening any time soon. EVE players and DUST mercs will need to train up skills to actually use it. Also, We probably CAN steal the codes and disable them, which would prevent them from firing at all.
