They just wanna hang out with a few buds, and look at how pretty space is. The EvE community barely understands itself. (all those references to "carebears?" that's 80% of EvE players). The other 20% are the dicks makin out that they'll be dropping strikes every 2 minutes and laughing because they'll use marauders every game. No-one in EvE likes them either. How are you planning on gettin Dusters to fight your wars when we hate you? ISK won't do it. Because we can get that in High sec in PvE or in PvP. So what...1 in 5 EvE players acts like a tit by my calculations.
Actually, it's 80% of characters that are in high sec if I remember correctly, which is different from 80% of the population. Remember those three character slots like in DUST? I have two accounts with six characters. Only two of them are straight PvP and live in Null or low sec. . . That means 66% of my characters are Highsec, but I play in null/lowsec. Just to correct your perception.
And for that matter null is the tail that wags the dog in high sec. If it wasn't for the fact that stuff gets blow up in 0.0, all the little highsec carebears would have no reason to shoot lasers at rocks, or make stuff in a factory slot, or drive a freighter for hours on end etc.
More like 4 in 5 EVE players is a tit, just like me. |

eve players are use to betas by the fact eve is still in one :P jk (if you read the eve o forums you could get that opinion though tbh)
might be there are less people being the fact its summer, and the current map is a bit......boring lets say? It could even be that more eve users frequent forums which could make it seem unbalanced?
also would like to point out that I used to play the old operation flashpoint cold war crisis (the original one made by Bohemia Interactive) along with there later games ArmA and ArmA 2, and ofcourse a few of the battlefield titles (2142 included) |

Ok guys;
please stop to post: personal attacks, insult to each others and spam. You all are part of the DUST 514 community wherever your background is.
Thanks.

The 5 cent rhetoric is strong with this bunch.
The discussion is not quite at the level of 'How do we build a quality mmorpgfps in the New Eden universe?'

I just want to say if someone wants a real "challenge" or show their gun skills, join the damn Military or gun club and PROVE how good your "skills" are instead of touting your epeen over a game... Drives me crazy when someone says "this game takes no skill". Also EVE players want this game to help THEM b/c its THEIR planetary infrastructure under attack.... I mean if you house was under "attack" would you idly sit by and let it get taken over...Didnt think so |

I prefer the Archery club. Guns are hassle in the UK. But I agree, when I went to the states, I gained a profound enjoyment of improving my grouping. Just like archery but a bit more noisy. I fear that EvE players are more concerned with limiting the effects of Dust on EvE. The whole spy thing has me very frustrated. If Ironbloods numbers are right, there are more "spies" than active Beta testers. I really feel that the majority of EvE posters feel like Dust is a rival corp. One to be broken before it can really get on it's feet. |

I'd say there are quite a few Eve players here. But I've recruited 3 other people to the cause all fps players, only one having played Eve, breifly. Obviously i come from Eve so I'm not an expert in what makes a great a fps, I'll bow to more knowledgable heads as to how the gameplay should work. But I have 6 years in the universe ccp has created I know it's history, it's development this is what i and other Eve heads bring. As for the go back and play Eve/"gungame" comments ... too bored. |

Thanks.
What does a GM know about gaming or forum posting? They are more then likely so sick of seeing our pixel faces all day they live with Quakers ....
All joking aside the man has a point, you all can be good at this game. Now cram the crap as they say get back to testing and do something productive!
Beta is our one chance to do something for the game in earnest before it goes live. It would be a shame to waste is because we are arguing what is more twitch/skill based:
Running past a near iron clad gate camp and making it out with a kill or surviving a sniper fire ambush while gunning down a near by enemy or two.
Frankly either or case gives you a heart attack followed by person pride if you can pull it off. Which I have.
Don't cheapen something you have never done. |

FPS experience? That's not what you're talking about though is it?
You mean "Console FPS of the specific style I like"
Because if you think you've been playing FPS longer than me then you are wrong. Been here since the start pal. Been playing FPS before consoles existed. I remember Wolfenstein the original, I played Spear of Destiny/Hexen/Heretic/Doom until my eyes bled. Sure you might well be better AT some of them than me amd probably all of them that use the DS3 in particular. But FPS experience in general? If that's all that counts then sit down and strap on your arse-kissing boots sonny, cause on that score there's a LOT of us "EVEtards" who've been gaming and FPS'ing FAR longer than you.
And even then, I'd be happy to defer to you on the FPS mechanics - but you aren't even talking about them anymore are you? No, you're on here bitching about the MMO elements that make the higher SP players more powerful than the newbs. You're whining about there being too many vehicles in a freaking vehicle test-build, you're whining that KBM is coming because it might affect your E-peen becaue half the "scrubs" you are banking on to pad your KDR are actually pretty damn good at FPS and are crippled by their lack of familiarity with the cruddy DS3. You're the guys bitching that the RE's can be thrown and detonated and that killed the HMG by QQing tooo hard over it. (And by "you" I mean your side of this argument, Consolers and MAGtards)
Sure, come kill me in DUST, you won't be alone in that - and I don't even give a rats shite about dying either. But I sure as hell want the game I'm playiong to be a huge amount more than just another dead-in-6-months-twitch-shooter-MAG/COD/BF3-clone like you "Console" players seem to be demanding. Adter all, you're all going to be gone the moment the next COD clone drops anyway - it'll have more of the Reflex>Skill type twitch stuff you're aftyer anyway.
And I'm willing to bet I've owned a Playstation/Nintendo/Sega/NeoGeo bloody well longer than you have too by the way. Does that mean I'm more of a "console" player than you too? Does it make you want to suck up to my awesome knowledge and help me circle-jerk my E-peen? No? Well I don't give a rats about how "Experienced" you think you are either. |

Don't know why anyone would want or allow KBM support in a ps3 game. 5.RE's are OP at the moment. There is no indicator as to where they are and they will be OP until spawns are fixed. I don't have a problem with them except when they are used on people who are spawning. I particularly love when an AR player destroys a vehicle and gets like 3 kills with RE's. That's hilarious imho. 7. Us console players are looking for a good strafer that takes skill. Low bullet damage. High speeds. Nothing OP. Overall eliteness. 8. You sound mad please calm down these are forums of a beta. |

For sure there are EVE players and groups who are concerned - you would be too if you had spent years building something in the face of the most brutal opposition.
The way I think about the spy thing is that in war, you bring every tactic and resource to the fight. Information is always primary. And the war started months ago, with maneuvers starting months before that. It's really just peeps taking Sun Tzu seriously.
I don't think the goal of these infiltrations is to cripple DUST. If I had to bet I'd say most EVE players are anxious to see New Eden grow. It's just that in wartime, you really want to have agents placed in every government and military possible. If only those agents were the seductive, curvy kind ;) |

Somewhat completely unrelated but I know a guy who used to scam dudes in Jita by pretending to be a female and scamming ISK for cyber that was never provided.
The sandbox can get pretty frigging wierd. . .
Bet you'll never see that in COD et al. . . |

You sound mad please calm down these are forums of a beta.[/quote]
Ok, I'll start with an apology, I picked your comment because it exemplifies a view I find offensive and wanted to have a crack at, not because you in particular are a prime candidate for it. And yeah, I'm a little mad about unrelated issues (Have a major fund transition with a looming deadline) and might possibly be venting some of that frustration on a Beta forum rather than at my workmates.
But I do get bloody offended at the view some of the more vocal Console community seem to have that when I logged into EvE on a friends recommendation that somehow decades of gaming experience dribbled out the back of my head, or that simply because EvE happens to be ONE of the games I play that I don't have experience or routinely play a LOT of FPS games. Whereas I do, I just prefer under normal circumstances to play FPS on my PC (Eyefinity is awesome) and until DUST, my PS3 was pretty well strapped into my GT5 driving rig.
Now onto your handy bullet points (Damn but I wish I'd used them now).
1. Are you contending then that DUST takes no skill? So everyone is as good as each other in here? I think you're dead wrong there - I get killed by players with more skill even when I'm running better gear and likewise the other way around (although less often obviously!) I would say it's more that it doesn't take exactly the SAME skills as other games, but skill is definitely a major factor. Perhaps you mean that skill isn't the ONLY factor, which you seem to prefer. This isn't the same as the game taking no skill.
2. I disagree. A higher SP toon will, with identical equipment, have higher Shields, Armour, CPU, PG and Damage output unless the higher SP toon has put a LOT of time and ernergy into NOT getting these bonusses, or hasn't spent the points. And I was using Newb/noob to mean someone new to the game - i.e. has not had the opportunity to gain the same amount of SP as a longer term player. Sure, some of them will come with great skills that will transfer perfectly and will do very well. But they'll still get absolutely destroyed by players of equal skill, but higher SP. (New players ARE Newbs, it's not always aderogatory term, but being newer to the game DOES mean something in EvE and will in DUST)
3. A person with FPS skill wouldn't need to call a vehicle? WTF? So you're infantry. Good for you. Well done. So fricking what? Wars have vehicles, vehicles have pilots. They are a part of the game. So you like to think you're better than them because you don't "need" vehicles? again, good for you. I'm sure they think they're better than you 'cause they just smoked your infantry butt. Are marine snipers "better" than Airforce fighter pilots because they can shoot whereas the pilot can "only" fly a plane while navigating/fighting/bombing? No, but they are both vital aspects of war. This is just your personal preference in how you would like others to play against you - I'd like you to use a militia drop-ship and hover in the centre of the map, nice and low, with no gunners. Are you going to? Because, y'know, it would make my game easier. Oh, and if you don't play how I like, can I bag you out and claim you have no skills because you can't hover all wicked 'n' stuff like I can? Sure, you have good skills as infantry - and I won't knock that. But there's a reason the game has so many roles to fill and it's a bit douchey of you to slag off everyone else who has a different play-style. And also, there's some very good, and very poor vehicle drivers in the game too. Driving a vehicle well takes just as much skill as being a good killer (Infantry will find it hard to tell, but when vehicles go up against vehicles or AV infantry it becomes obvious).
4. If you want a game that's DS3 only - don't join the Beta-test for the only PS3 FPS that's ADVERTISING MKB support and demand it be withdrawn. I thought that would be obvious. I don't know why anyone would demand the removal of a point-of-difference-game-feature solely to protect their own KDR in a FTP game. There are plenty of DS3 only FPS games, why do ALL of them have to be just to please you? I'm a long-term PS3 owner and FPS player and I want it in, the big difference is that I haven't come to MAG and demanded the inclusion of something to benefit ME, but you ARE here demanding it be withdrawn to benefit YOU. Seems selfish, and possibly a little daft - repeat, this feature has been in from the design stage and has been advertised at every major release announcement, the whiners are you who want it REMOVED not those who are waiting for it to come in, as promised. |

5.RE's are OP at the moment, well, I again disagree - and I'm not even skilled to use them, so I'm not exactly exploiting them. I just don't see the problem with them. Sure, dropping them at the spawn is cheap. But we all know spawning is currently not working as intended and is being fixed. I'm by no means a skilled player and really haven't had the time to be in game a heap, but I can still shoot some **** running at me without a gun, and know enough to get moving at the same time so I don't go pop. Surely you've figured this out by now?
6. The ability to count is not overrated.....
7. So you want COD then. It's over there ---> (j/k You left that WAY open) DUST takes skill, but it's not a very fast strafer, but again, what you describe is the cookie-cutter FPS (hence the COD remark) DUST does have low bullet damage overall and nothing is really OP. (The fact that a vehicle lays the smack down on you isn't OP, he brought a bigger gun to your knife-fight and he paid the price to do so.) I don't disagree with the fact it could be faster but what specifically would you like changed? A 20% boost to all suits in the movement speed? Because again, the impression I'm getting from the "console" fraternity is that DUST would be perfect if it was faster, there were no vehicles or skills and only the Assault suit and Assault rifle were available so everyone would be exactly the same - sure that might be a more scientific way of testing a very narrow set of skills but a game it isn't. It also only suits a very small cadre of "leet" console FPS players who it appears aren't looking for a challenge or a game or some fun, but rather just another set of leaderboards to top, and for them the easiest and fastest way to do that is to try and get DUST to be made as close to the game they did master as possible right down to strafe-speeds and bullet damage. These gamers are the ones I implore CCP to ignore as they'll be the ones leaving first the instant a more "pure" FPS-twitch shooter comes along.
And I'll finish with a question - What happens if the console-jockeys win, and DUST gets SP's removed, loses the MMO aspect, loses the fitting and becomes very, very similar to say MAG/COD/BF3. What then? What's it's appeal, where's it's niche in the market? What would be the point-of-difference that would allow it to survive where others have become outdated?

DUST needs "local." Where else are you going to find gems like this. . .
"Tina Silf > Good night (alliance redacted) people :) Sleep well and may you all die in a fire while doing so"
Also, "real" corps of some variety need to be put in sooner than SoonGäó, which will actually help testing balance I think. . . if only to show the KDR kids what playing the objectives means. . . |

Why do people assume that if one plays EVE that we suck at FPS?
It's like if we can drive a car, we must suck at walking around.
Most of us probably have played more FPS than EVE, just using keyboard/mouse.
I've been playing FPS games since FPS existed, and played Team Fortress in 12v12 tournament league level competition for a couple years, which was the one of the top fps games in it's era. (not tf2, or tf classic)
Heck, I was at E3 when Thresh won his Ferrari in the Quake tournament, back when some of these kids were being bottle fed by childcare.
We just love the EVE universe, and want to make sure it fits within the Universe properly.. and many of us actually want to live in this side of things.
I want good everything-game.
What I can't stand is people trying to nerf everything that isn't an assault suit and an AR.
I want teamwork, I want brillant gunfights, I want great strategy and team cohesiveness.
So, enough with the stereotyping. |

Quote: What happens if the console-jockeys win, and DUST gets SP's removed, loses the MMO aspect, loses the fitting and becomes very, very similar to say MAG/COD/BF3. What then? What's it's appeal, where's it's niche in the market? What would be the point-of-difference that would allow it to survive where others have become outdated? Because unless CCP can clone COD and give it better graphics on the same system somehow, then they have to innovate and do something new. Obviously this isn't something that our console FPS brothers are used to/want/can cope with.

This is basically why EvE players get called bad. OMG there's no skills, where is the lasting appeal? Secondly, Counter strike is still one of the most played Pc games 14 years after it was released and 9 after it's final update. Those constant updates for EvE you pay for. CoD's actually a better economy (-ú50 a year instead of EvE prices). Now, if the game was good, and the moment to moment action was able to be described as "triple A" I think it'd last anyway. People play for gun game... and keep playing if it's good enough. That's the whole point. Most I the console FPS crowd really don't like this much, and know what will happen with KBM. So... My question for you sir. If you don't care about EvE, what does this game offer you, that 10 other games don't? (section8, MAG and BF just examples)

If you guys care nothing for EVE, then why play a game immersed and born out of EVE?
There are dozens of games with pure gun game without all those pesky skills and OP vehicles and everything else. Go play CS or CoD or whatever fits your fancy.
This game is a RPG. A MMO FPS RPG set in the EVE Universe.

Why do you care about the mechanics in this game when you'll just end up playing EvE once CCP makes this game take fps skill again? Because of the eventual EVE-Dust integration. That's why many EVE players are here. That's why I'm here. I wouldn't have bothered a console FPS if it weren't for the integration. The very mechanics of this game WILL affect the very game that I hold dear. So yes, I give a damn about what happens in Dust. And I'm pretty sure many other Eve players are on the same boat. You as a Dust only player should care about EVE as well, since it's going to affect your world too. While this game requires FPS skill (once CCP irons it out), Dust will require skills beyond that. And why should I just stick to EVE only? There's many other great games out there. Let the players with more fps experience handle how the game mechanics should go though bro. FPS experience? That's not what you're talking about though is it? You mean "Console FPS of the specific style I like" Because if you think you've been playing FPS longer than me then you are wrong. Been here since the start pal. Been playing FPS before consoles existed. I remember Wolfenstein the original, I played Spear of Destiny/Hexen/Heretic/Doom until my eyes bled. Sure you might well be better AT some of them than me amd probably all of them that use the DS3 in particular. But FPS experience in general? If that's all that counts then sit down and strap on your arse-kissing boots sonny, cause on that score there's a LOT of us "EVEtards" who've been gaming and FPS'ing FAR longer than you. And even then, I'd be happy to defer to you on the FPS mechanics - but you aren't even talking about them anymore are you? No, you're on here bitching about the MMO elements that make the higher SP players more powerful than the newbs. You're whining about there being too many vehicles in a freaking vehicle test-build, you're whining that KBM is coming because it might affect your E-peen becaue half the "scrubs" you are banking on to pad your KDR are actually pretty damn good at FPS and are crippled by their lack of familiarity with the cruddy DS3. You're the guys bitching that the RE's can be thrown and detonated and that killed the HMG by QQing tooo hard over it. (And by "you" I mean your side of this argument, Consolers and MAGtards) Sure, come kill me in DUST, you won't be alone in that - and I don't even give a rats shite about dying either. But I sure as hell want the game I'm playiong to be a huge amount more than just another dead-in-6-months-twitch-shooter-MAG/COD/BF3-clone like you "Console" players seem to be demanding. Adter all, you're all going to be gone the moment the next COD clone drops anyway - it'll have more of the Reflex>Skill type twitch stuff you're aftyer anyway. And I'm willing to bet I've owned a Playstation/Nintendo/Sega/NeoGeo bloody well longer than you have too by the way. Does that mean I'm more of a "console" player than you too? Does it make you want to suck up to my awesome knowledge and help me circle-jerk my E-peen? No? Well I don't give a rats about how "Experienced" you think you are either.
MAG lasted longer than 6 months BF3 has already passed that mark with more content on the way with 70,000 players on during peak hours. You say we are complaining abot kbm but wasn't your side complaining about using DS3. Seems like you want kbm so you can pad your kdr so you can stroke your epeen. You are the exact reason I hate EVE players. I hope Dust fails now s yu can get the hell off of our console.
I'd rather play MAG then be a part of your ****** little Eve universe. |

CAN YOU SAY DOA?
Dead on arrival that is, great job explaining why this game is gonna go on "EVE history" as a flop, since you dont want the "CS people" btw one of the FPS finest, why on **** would any fps player give two ***** on your "EVE universe" I for one expected a FPSMMO, Not a gloryfied tank jousting or rolling a dice of 20 with guns.
I really see myself siding with regis on this one, "grind 2 win" and "adapt or die" my ass, I rather play cs and get me an acc on LOTR online for that bullcrap, nice way to get people to "inmerse in the EVE universe" by creating a EVE clone with tanks and soldiers, where aiming will be a mere statistic, be ready to get exactly what you loathe, People spraying with an AR with 4x damage modules and armored to the brim, and being unostoppable by just mere grinding, farming up kills with newcomers, nice. At least in mag the level was worthless, it was more on to how to deliver headshots, sneak on people and dismantle the group structure.
On that note, anyone has a copy of mag left? mine got busted. |
