I see what you're saying. Maybe I'm being a tad harsh on the game elements regarding alien life....but I'm still convinced CCP could have done something to make the Alien worlds looks a tad more alien. Giant Mushrooms, red rivers, orange sky...I don't know.
But you get my point!? At the minute I feel like I'm playing on a brown field industrial site in Birmingham!!!

In regards to me being a one man army and ignoring the corps - This is how I play and I enjoy it. But I'll tell you what, as you're not the first to say "join a corp, it's better", I'll dig out my headset and mic tonight...and I'll see if joining in the game chat makes things a little more interesting.

I may come back in a years time to see if things have changed - I tend to only doing gaming during Winter, when it's too cold to go to the pub!

"if you boil it down, Dust is just another generic shooter where you happen to be on a different planet."

no actually the game is different.

what it is, when you boil it down, is that casuals can't handle anything outside of cod.

you said it yourself.
you can't be arsed.

514 is the way it is.
and you guys can't hang with it.


albeit:
all this "clan" bs is a joke.
zerging isn't clan. it's just casuals wearing clan tags.
but then again, that was the totality of what most of the community could accomplish in mag = zerg.
now you got "clans" pub stomping in hisec rooms and worse... they actually brag on it.

so on one hand, yeah... you can feel free to go play every other training wheels hand holding game on the market.
they were all made just for you.

on the other hand, i wouldn't sweat it:
these nerds can't handle this game and the devs will eventually water it down so the milk fed veal, i mean casual gamers, can actually play it.
just give em time.

Peace

Trolls will be trolls: what the OP is saying is that truly casual players should have the option of being able to stand a chance. Something like a no-premade queue (dare I say like CoD?) with slightly less rewards would work for this.

However, once we get everything like factional warfare vs nullsec corp warfare, we won't need these because corps and casuals will naturally gravitate to different types of warfare.

Well its just usual when very good players getting thrown together into the same team. Its like SI, Imperfects and STB would be stuck on one team while the other team has random guys that nobody remembers. The result is carnage on a very high lvl. And randoms never show teamwork, the best thing they can do is to pull out a militia swarm launcher against a sagaris that stands 5m infront off them. And i barely see people who actually use Type-II, Advanced or proto dropsuits. 80% off the players run either Type-I or militia stuff and expect to do well with that against top nutch players. Sure maybe they have light weapon sharpshooter and proficency maxed out but they are still stuck with a militia assault rifle and a crappy dropsuit.

"2 - A game mode to cater for the casuals, like me."

you won't see a hardcore player. ever. they will be in null and you guys will be hiding in suppression...
i mean hi sec.

but then you'll want the same amount of isk for the win... or the same sp as the null sec people.


because... wait for it:

you can't handle the game the way it is.

Peace
