I really don't get this BS with punishing the players who actually play the game and being all carebear about it.
In 6 months it'll be totally irrelevant when everyone's had 6 months advance on the new guys. What then CCP?, are you gonna remove SP from the loyal players every 6 months to keep them from being too far ahead of the new guys?
This system is the worst idea you could possibly do. The old one was bad, but this is just beyond stupid.
The idea is to make people play your game and not punish your loyal player base for actually playing, are you that blind to not see how stupid this idea is??
FPS players in general are far more fickle than I'd bet most EvE players are. Your dealing with short attention spans and the need for instant gratification on the whole. Removing the constant progression just doesn't make sense to keep people interested in the game.
Your basically saying "Times up this week guys, go play something else for a few days". That's not how you keep your player base playing tbh. |

Yes, but you're not taking into account all of the instant gratification, flashing lights and loud noises that the FPS community seemingly -cannot live without-.
I'm not entirely sure what the big deal is considering that these guys have never had an FPS that gave out skill points as a reward rather than another gun. When you reach a certain level in Call of Duty you just go into the "prestige" non-sense so that'll really go to show you just how ADD the players really are when they simply -can't stop earning something- even though it's mundane and doesn't provide any benefit in the game itself.
Maybe we should just come up with a system that gives silly trinkets or something to appeal to them so they're too busy earning Callsigns (<--- CoD) to notice the MMO balancing of the game.
Way to prove yourself a complete idiot. Cod is practically the only one that doesn't these days.
Perhaps you've never played a true MMOFPS or perhaps you've not played MAG?
CoD I'd even argue that you get more than just a new gun unless your talking prestige in which case it's pretty dumb imo. It's the same system just not as OP as the one we have in Dust.
I'll state this again since you all blatantly missed it.
What happens in 6 months when we're 6 months SP ahead of everyone?. We remove 6 months SP to, "Make it fair" ??.
It's just baffling beyond belief that people actually agree with or even think this system is a good idea/works. Do you want people playing this game or do you just want people casually logging in for a bit of sp a week?. It makes it into the same league as Angry Birds or something that you sit down and play for 5mins a day.
Oh and Cerebral Wolf, pull you head out of your arse please. If you've got nothing better to comment than troll posts, watch the door on your arse on the way out. Thank you. |

So you've played some ****** 360 FPS games?, I'm supposed to believe that makes you able to comment on a MMOFPS or rather an MMORPG that you play from a FPS perspective?. I've played pretty much EVERY MMO out there and I wouldn't even dare compare this to CoD or EvE.
As far as I'm concerned there are only 2-3 games in existance that do this kind of game and none of them are on the xbox.
One is Battleground Europe (WW2 Online). I've no idea how this works and from what I hear it's not that great a game anyway. I tried the trial and it just wasn't up to much.
Another is Mag on PS3 and the skill system there is pretty identical to this game. New player don't get their arse kicked and there's zero cap. No territory to capture as such, but you got bonuses if your team was winning a particular game mode.
Another is Planetside on PC, which again you obviously haven't played or else you'd see your comments are full of crap. They never had to cap XP, new players didn't feel left behind and the whole game was about controlling territory, (I put that in there because you like throwing that in as an argument for this and frankly it's a joke.) It's also the ONLY true MMOFPS out there, the only other is it's sequel that's in development.
We've not tested anything yet that involves territory control in EvE and you really think it'll be in release?. I think your kidding yourself frankly, what people will want to do is get on and kill stuff at launch. It's an FPS after all that happens to tap into EvE.
CCP aren't just gonna drop territory control on Dust then unleash it on TQ. They'd be insane. If it was actually coming at release we'd of been testing it for 6 months now at least.
What we have now is a mediocre FPS game with a half finished meta game and zero connections with EvE other than chatting and calling in OS. You really think if the game launched like this people would stick around?. The average gamer will need something to drive them to progress. All your EvE comparisons just don't work, it's a different kind of player completely in general and a totally different game.
I've played both games and EvE's system works fine for that game, transferring that directly into a FPS is a very bad idea imo. FPS players in general need instant gratification to stick around and are terribly fickle. Most have already dismissed this game as crap, yet your all for making the player base dwindle more it seems.
I personally would like this game to grow and have some people to shoot after 6 months. What I don't want to play is some sort of "Holdiay" app for EvE players to go when their bored.
How many subs does EvE have anyway?, 9000'ish?. A fraction of those I bet are even bothered about Dust, combine that with all the FPS fans here stating that this will upset the general player base and your not gonna have many people playing it for very long imo.
On a side note to the WARRIORS. I agree with you guys, but can you please just lay off the childish way in which you post. It makes you look like total idiots and nobody will even listen to your argument at all with that mentality. I feel this is an important issue, but this whole thread is full of egotistical trolls trolling at their best. |
