Bravo to Maken and Kev!! I have been trying to point these things out without stirring up too much more animosity. I love EVE. I don't play it steadily due to RL, so I don't get to go into NUL sec, as I don't have the resources to resupply. I love FPS games, although I am limited on experience on them. I have never played MAG, but I wouldn't mind giving it a try. Sounds like it is a great game.
I know how nasty of a place EVE can be. I stick too myself for the most part. I live by the motto "Don't trust anyone". Even though there is a lot of backstabbing, scamming, and other dirty things that go on, there are also many friendly people that are willing to help out new players. I don't visit the EVE forums much, so I can't comment on how bad those are. I have been in other beta forums, and they were never this heated. Then again, DUST is a whole new breed of game, thus 2 totally different types of gamers giving their opinions.
I for one am thankful that there are good FPS players here. They can offer some really good suggestions on how to improve the mechanics of the FPS side. On the flip side, good EVE players can offer good suggestion on how fittings, the market, etc. should be. I just read the CSM notes. The things they have planed for NULL sec and FW, market integration, etc., is pretty incredible. For those that don't follow EVE, maybe at least read those notes. At least the section dealing with DUST. The majority of it is EVE stuff. It might help in understanding where CCP is heading with everything, including corps and null sec.
As for the "toxicity" of the forums. Please, let's keep the pc/console wars down. When new players come in and not sure what all is going on and read the forums, they can get a nasty taste in their mouth about this game and community. These things can keep players away, and drive existing ones out. Like the others stated, wait till launch when everyone will be a bit more seperated. Right now, we need to focus on improving the game. Will there be eliteists who expect certain things to be implemented? Of course. But lets not feed those. Not all EVE players expect DUST to run like EVE. I know not all FPS players want this to be another MAG or CoD. But there are things from those games that could be beneficial though. CCP will look into those things and see if it fits into their ideas. I like hearing ideas from other games. Some I like, some not so much. Not sure what killstreaks is all about though.
I enjoy playing this game. I look forward to more things being added. I have enjoyed playing with many of you. Some not so much, as you kill me too much.  But I adapt and move on. Let's all move on. Hopefully to bigger and better guns, with lots of pretty light beams and things that go boom, instead of...... |
