so in other words you'd like to let console pubbies dumb it down to the point where its like every other fps?

eve players annoying? wait till i can orbital strike your ass

Greetings,

While I disagree with you, I can understand your point. The thing you need to understand though is that the EVE players are the ones who have paid the bills for this game and will continue to pay the bills when the CoD and Halo crowds have moved on to CoD-2013 Q1 or Halo 25 or Killzone 3000.

This game is an extension of our game and as such we have a very vested interest in it being done right. Additionally, we understand the lore behind this game and have helped write that lore over the last 10 years.

When this game launches, it will be the money we have earned in EVE that will be used to pay for the Dust mercenaries, so again we have a vested interest in seeing it get done right.

Finally, while I am not one, there are plenty of hardcore FPS fans in EVE, but as I have stated in many threads, Dust is not an FPS, it is a MMORPG with a FPS combat system... There are huge differences, and I for one am glad for it.

I've noticed that eve players try to enforce the eve aspect of dust while console fps players just say its too complicated and combersome. I'm a console fps person guy and I like the eve part of dust. It gives me something to think about before jumping into battle all willy nilly, my friends think other wise. They dont like that you have to learn skills to opperate anything. They dont like that you lose your weapons and equipment when you die. Most of them just wanna level up and get things automatically. If it were left to them I fear that dust might end up being a very dumbed down version of what the developers want the game to be.

I play Eve, and I have been playing console FPS since Golden Eye 64. Non-Eve players are really annoying IMO. They come in here with dumb ass suggestions and what not, things that do not fit into the world of Eve. Eve players tend to be older, more mature, and more intelligent (probably due to the complexity and learning curve of the game) than most other game's playerbase. It's one of the biggest selling points of Eve for many. Console FPS players tend be on the complete other end of the spectrum. So I would propose that ONLY Eve players should be allowed in the Beta, for fear the dumb public will try to force their dumb will on what should be a smart game. The only reason the general public's stupidity doesn't scare me that much is that CCP has a pretty good track record of not listening or bending to the dumb masses.

IMO they should've distributed beta keys to all the MAG players. It wasn't a fps like CoD or Halo, just like dust 514 isn't a fps like those games.

Kinda unfair to us.. I played EVE for 7 years.. have recently retired from the game (burn out) I have been here testing (weekend tests access) and so far I like what I have seen. the game has plenty of potential and the fact that I will be able to blow up EVE players starships out of the sky appeals to me a lot, interacting with them is appealing as well, we all want a great game regardless if we played EVE or not , EVE is a special type of game, with plenty of player created content as well as drama :P but in its right without EVE there would be no DUST , were not all that annoying, mostly a lot of EVE players are friendly :D especially when in the EVE radio channel :D.
