So, apparently, with the new Dev Blog it's revealed that the majority of people quit right at the beginning of the tutorial around the explanation of the Captain's Quarters and understanding the Skill Training. I wonder when it is people quit in Dust?

Captain's Quarters. Not even once.

After dying 10 times in a row or not getting 10 kills in a row.
When "everything" is overpowered...except what they are using.

Pretty much happens in every shooter.

I for one what more EXPLANATION....[is still shaking head at how it took to work out L1 detonated REs].

Actually...l just want more:)

As it stands now, unless you are coming from a game that has similar mechanics, the learning curve is fairly steep (not really high, but steep). I still shake my head from time to time when I look up at the big screens in the War-Room and think about how long it took me to realize what those were for.

There really needs to be a tutorial of some sort when a person logs in the first time (can be skippable) that gives a brief overview of the universe, and some basic training (movement, objectives, hacking, etc...). Bascially a "training" simulator that would take them through some of the games basic functionality and explain how various things work. For instance, how the amount of ISK you get at the end of the battle depends on the level of armor used by everyone in the match. I think we all would like ot know how SP works (I think it's just broke right now)

Hopefully, we can get a decent in-game tutorial. Training dummies would also be nice so that I can get a feel for that new weapon I bought.

I'm a fan of those simulator deck ideas that people have been tossing out. I mean, the War Barge is a big ship, and I'd wager there's plenty of room for some kind of testing area in there.

Am I the only one that gets a blank page when I open the link?

You know what would be funny? pressing the RE deontate button and it detonates all the ones you havent put down yet.

um no that's not what it says at all. people like the CQ, they are aren't bitter dumbass vets like you. They quit becuase they see how long skills take to quit. But nice try.

I still haven't got there

Sit behind a tank for tens of seconds trying to deploy the silly thing, then get blown up by the tank driver who jumped out to smack me with his knife

I think that people quiting over the skill times is pretty silly. CCP games demand a different mindset than the min/max and the "perfect set" of most mmo's.

It never bothered me, really, training anything to level 4 is quite "fast", level 5 is not required until latter on when you start focusing on rounding up your character.

Amazingly, Skill queues let you really play the game, and not grind it. Instead of grind a skill, you can group up and go PVP or PVE without bothering with anything but certain comedy deaths/kills.

What people most of the time do not realize is that you do not have to have ALL skills to level 5, nor people chose a vessel hull / role to specialize.

And "specialization" dosent mean limitation. Most skills are part of several roles, and once a role is mastered you go after another. Before you realize, you have quite a diversified number of hulls you can fly and roles to perform.

If you set your goals and manage them, you can get up so speed quite fast.


And for all other things, allways have other games handy, its the best way to pass the time when you do not want to play EVE. Its funny how much free time you get not having to grind stuff up.

I want this to happen to me.
