I was going to comment on the EVE vs FPS player topic and the value of their relative contibutions toward making this game a success but....nah.

I'm stocking up on beer and popcorn to enjoy witnessing the following inevitable events:



1. The combination of the EVE Forum community and the FPS forum communities (especially MAG) should result in record breaking amounts of : bans, locked threads, and behavior that Mr. Rogers would not approve of.

2. Once DUST/EVE are fully integrated, epic tear-filled, surprise-non-consensual-public-pillow-biting-catastrophes will occur in-game and be reported on for all to read.

Its going to be brilliant.

WRONG!!!!!!!!

(I think you mean "It's")

lol, yes I did!

I like dust 514 but im just saying in order for the game to have a decent following you need more fps players possibly players from mag as it's the most similar thing to dust to beta test it.

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.

... you can't judge someones intelligence by the games they choose to play..

true, but when the average age of EVE players is somewhere near 30-ish, it says something about the maturity level felt in the game.

There are some really annoying players one of them being a prime example is Mittani.....CEO of Goonswarm..

Lets try to work together to make this game work, its the complexity that got me interested in the first place.

Max Trichomes, you can't judge someones intelligence by the games they choose to play.

V2 ELECTRON, we need eve players to test this aswell as they know alot more about the ingame politics and economy. Also they could be very proficient FPS console gamers aswell.

I hope to hell this game is not dumbed down.

If this game were to be dumbed down I would call a crusade to publicly label people like V2 Electron as the culprits. Just because I can.

Also i could just be a dumb bastard who doesn't know sh*t at all

Stick with EVE thats why there is a big chance this game will burn out quickly because you pc players think your **** dont stink but the money is in CONSOLE GAMES YOU DUMB PUBBIE!!!!

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.

Ummm, let's look at this a bit. EVE has been around for 10 years... The same EVE game... People spend$15 per month on EVE... Every year there is a new FPS of the year and the hard core FPS players migrate to it... It seems to me that you guys are the ones who kill the gamess, we simply make ours better and better, better.

IVE been on EVE for 6+ years if you realy look close at the number of eve players its not what they seem to be, i have friends that have multiple accounts so its realy not growing the way you say it is and there are halo, gears, modernwarfare ext. that have been and will be playing for many years to come and they are in the millions.

I have played eve for something like 8 years. I also play on my ps3 more than is probably healthy. 1314 psn trophies right now. (Yay epeen) Most people who play dust and are also eve players probably have similar stories (Even if they do not mirror my excessive gaming habits) though there are a few who apparently bought a Ps3 just for dust and well... I'll stop there.

That said, It's a very silly thing to suggest. No matter how you put it, Dust is an extension to Eve. Whatever happens in dust correlates to eve, and that very much makes dust an eve player's business. Saying "XXX should not beta test because they don't know what they are talking about" Could just as easily apply to 90% of people on the internet.

You're not pissed at eve fanboys, you're pissed at fanboys in general. And this is very understandable. But, if we could exclude people from the beta as easily as you seem to want... the beta would be very empty and not very fun :(

although i like that im in the same world as eve players but im considered a lower class console junkie, it kinda just makes me feel like i fit into the role as a dust mercenary beter, i do also stongly agree that this game is very important to alot of eve players, and they deserve the right to play this game as much as anyone else, i do think that there should be some sort of indicater on their character that they are from eve... i.e. a symbol on the helmet or something so i know who to kill first

Mark me up yo.
see how much you can drop me.
it'll be fun for the both of us.
