Not to burst your bubble, Mr. Asher, but those 500,000 people playing CoD will abandon it as soon as next year's CoD is released, faster if some other large FPS comes out in the meantime. Meanwhile, those 35,000 at any given time, lets assume it's 35k period for arguments sake, have been paying 15 USD a month for several years in a persistent experience. That added to the fact that EVE supplies a unique experience compared to the more mundane FPS mechanics of whichever CoD, and it's easy to see that the games are, at the very least, matched in terms of popularity via payment. As for DUST, it isn't just an FPS, it takes place in the world of New Eden and transplants many facets of the culture and features of the game, meaning that people come to it not because it is an FPS, but because it is the EVE FPS.
Also, sportsmanship is the action of players, not the tools given to them. A bad sport is a bad sport, no matter what toys he has at his disposal.
As for the OP, dropship crushing is fine with me, makes him an easier target for my Forge Gun. |

Your argument makes zero sense to me. Yeah, they'll abandon this CoD for the NEXT CoD. Your point? CoD will STILL have a larger following than EVE. I've only ever played CoD twice, but from what I understand the game is set in a way that even poor players can do well, but can not impede the progress of actual talented players, i.e., decently balanced weapons and few one hit kill methods. That is NOT how Dust is set up. In Dust, if you have better equipment, you win. If you have a vehicle and drop down on someone as he's in a firefight with 11 other people, you win. Right now it's like an elaborate game of paper, rock, scissors.

They can only demonstrate poor sportsmanship when GIVEN the tools. Take the ability to kill people simply by silently touching them from the sky away, and voila! You don't have to deal with one more method of people demonstrating poor sportsmanship.

I'm almost 100% positive anyone that tries to make some kind of snarky comment about killing dropships that try to crush them doesn't have a 2-1 KDR, or even a good one. You just have fun playing the game, which is fine, but you aren't actually talented so that's why having a BS OHK method in the game doesn't bother you. To other people who usually do pull off at least a 2-1 KDR, it gets tedious having to run and hide from scrubs so often just because they can't shoot straight. They waste your time. Making you run, making you stick behind cover in one single area, making you wait longer before going to the objective, and making you wait to respawn after they crush you.
I always get way more kills than anyone I see trying to dropship crush, and that's probably why it bugs me. I have **** to do, plenty of people to kill and now I have to wait for your sorry ass all because you can't get a kill any other way than crashing a space ship into me. It's pathetic and it's weak. I have no sympathy for the weak  |

Oh, so it's the KDR that bothers you, eh? Not the destructions, the repairs, all the other point gaining methods, you just want to farm kills? Go play Ambush then, leave the fun to the real players. As for time wasting, its called area denial. You need to keep them away from your capture points, and the best way to do that is keep them from using the huge open ground and force them around. I'm sorry if your time is being wasted by other players playing the way they wish to, but, to use a phrase I despise from the world of EVE: Adapt or Die. Your Assault Rifle doesn't hurt that tank? Use a forge gun. Your Forge can't nail that infantry? grab a vehicle or an AR. You need to kill that Forge gun harassing your vehicles? Grab an AR. I may not get a stellar KDR, but I get at least 150k SP a match due to my contributions of hacks, destructs, repairs, and resupplies.
Also, a person in a firefight with 11 others is going to die. A dropship crushing him is a mercy kill.
I'm also glad to see you assume about as much about anyone against your views on the forums as you do about anyone who doesn't play the game the same way you do. |
