It seems like the only way to be any good at this game is to play it 24 hours of your life. IOr spend a thousand bucks to max everything out.

Skills pretty much guaranteed you will win every gunfight unmatched. A FPS and MMO are polar opposites of each other.
FPS's are supposed to be about the shooter's ability to aim and smart planning.
MMO's are about going through skill trees and making your character into jesus.

Before I start ranting, I want to say I never thought that CCP or any Devs would manage to get this close to making a MMO/FPS hybrid that is decent. They're close, but not there.

Combine these into dust and what do you get?

A game where if you don't pay to win, you must dedicate your entire life to it. Devs even said it would take 7 years to unlock everything and couch potatoes will probably unlock everything in half that amount of time compared to someone who has a job or school like me.

They can run around and pretty much be invincible because they have everything unlocked and you don't. Unless they can't aim worth a rat's tail.

So you will always be outgunned by the loser who will die from leg clots from not getting up and taking breaks. You know, the ones who are too lazy to get up so they pee in a bottle?

Doesn't this bother anyone else? Like the people who are actually good at FPS's but still get gunned down by afore mentioned loser who's spraying a HMG across the map with 46% accuracy and has 20k Shields?

This will hurt CCP in the long run because if new players spawn-in and are instantly getting spawn killed or sniped by a HMG they will think "Uh, this is supposed to be fun?" delete the game and tell they're friends how sh*tty the game is.

Its not that bad, if you cant aim, you cant aim. Even if somebody did skill everything, its not like they could utilize it all at the same time. There will not be someone running around with a tank and dropship,AR,forge gun uber-fit.

And I realize that second part. But at the same time, the no lifers are usually the ones with the clans of other no lifers to cause a no-life legion dedicated to pounding casual players, people who do have lives, and the other 10% or whatever into the ground.

No. If you can't aim, you use a grenade launcher or a hmg lol.

"There will not be someone running around with a tank and dropship,AR,forge gun uber-fit." Essentially making this untrue.

I don't know... I like CCP and what they're doing. But it feels like I'm fighting an uphill battle all the time because I'm constantly fighting people with better gear and getting slaughtered in one hit by everything.

and so how is this different from any other FPS where you play and unlock weapons?

A lot of people play who play those games are not elite and don't put in 14 hours a day, one thing I will point out is that here in dust there are diminishing returns on SP not sure on the exact numbers but you get a bonus on your first couple of games then after that you start getting 15k sp max a round no matter how well you do.

So what is your solution? you could give everyone the same skills and those players who have no life as you call it would still kick your arse, they play more so they getter better regardless of the equipment.

You seem to have an obsession over HMGs. By chance have you ever used one? Because I specialize in them. They're a hell of a lot harder to use than you seem to think. They have almost no range, damage, or spread, so you have to be dead on with your shots at a rather short range to get your kills. If you were being killed by HMGs today, that's probably because they were better than you.

Actually no. I specialize in HMG's too Mr. literal. And of all things to point out in my post, why the HMG? It was an example.

Because I don't have as much experience in the other points. But when you say people snipe across the map with HMGs and 20k shields, that just looks stupid and uninformed. It's impossible to even shoot across 1/4 of the map with one, let alone snipe.

Changed to sniper rifle because I know it's making you cry.

*sigh* and with this comment you've gone and proved to everyone that your a crap player who is bleating like a kiwis favourite sheep, you look foolish you should spend less time whining here and more on getting better because the problem is behind the keyboard nub.
