i just joined the beta so granted i don't have any great guns or armor but when this game launches this will affect new players who want to join after the initial launch, trying to join in right away no one will play for very long. the skill menu is confusing took me about an hour to figure it out, i know there are tutorials but i don't feel like sitting there for an hour to listen how to play. anyone playing for awhile will wreck any noob in seconds with superior fire power and armor a swell. I tried to buy some new guns and armor and the prices are so high and to buy multiple for every time a die is mind blowing. If i buy a gun i should get like 20 not just one. I know this is a beta but these issues need to be addressed soon rather then later. Oh and remove the limited number of clones for skirmish it turns it into no more then death match with people camping objectives for the kills and a easy win. plus not a bug fan of the arrows over everyone's head especially enemies makes it far to easy to find someone and makes snipping difficult give us a kill cam maybe but get rid of it. again i know this is a beta and your trying to do something new with making it free to play but right now id much rather go pay for a $60 game and have fun then waste time on this. |

Welcome to New Eden?
Seriously, this is MEANT to be the way it is. Buy cheap gear, use the Starter Fits, and DON'T USE WHAT YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE. If you're running Starter Fits, there's no restocking cost, you can just keep spawning. If you have some Aurum, you can buy the "blueprint" gear in the marketplace (Militia Gear, look for blue borders and prices in AUR instead of ISK), which is infinitely re-usable as well - use that to modify the Starter Fits, and you'll be sorted while you train your character's skills up. |

Translation: This isn't as easy to understand as call of duty and battlefield 3. Therefore, i think it will fail. |

I realise you're new to the game but you clearly have no idea what this game is about - forget about all those other FPSs you've played before and spend some time learning about how Dust works instead of trying to play it like you did other FPSs.
Also, yeah, pay attention to what Garrett has said above - very good advice. |

The fact that there's people been playing longer than someone else goes with the territory. Its like that with any online game (bf3, starhawk, GOW, uncharted 3 etc etc). There are new players joining bf3 all the time, even eve. This is not your typical run of the mill shooter, its unique and very different to what alot of console kiddies are used to. don't be one of those who want the skill system simplified, everything nerfed, cover system (rainbow 6 Vegas style), third person view etc etc, the skill system is one of the key components of dust. Just enjoy it, and remember its not a 'game' until its released. Right now its a 'beta' for the upcoming 'game'. |

Welcome to New Eden.
Garrett Blacknova is right. This is the way it was meant to be played. Eve Online is operating under the same rules in New Eden for the past nine years and it has been working well since then. CCP is not going to fix what's not broken.
1. The game is suppose to condition you into learning how to be less reckless and start managing your resources as future battles will be dictated by resources and their availability.
2. Starter fits are ok. There is no shame in using them. In fact, veteran players are often using them because they ran out or are starting to run out of expensive gear and are trying to recuperate their income in the meantime.
3. Playing strictly with starter fits after help you hone in your skills by making the most of what little you have. That way, by the time you get better gear, your experience will ensure your success.
4. Adapt or Die. That is the mantra that is cried out all throughout New Eden in both Eve Online and in Dust 514. There is no exception to it. If you are not willing to adapt, then you will die and therefore this game may not be for you at all.
5. As Garrett mentioned, using the AURUM-based militia BPO suits is a good start. Because it give you the option of not having to constantly restock on cheap gear. But please keep in mind that the militia BPOs are limited in terms of stats and variety. So don't depend on them too much.
6. No kill cam. A lot of us here have played COD and we agreed that the kill cam only takes away from what Dust 514 is about. Adaptability in a harsh environment.
7. CCP did let us do skirmish months ago back in June without the clone reserve limit. But surprisingly we all demanded the limit to be imposed for skirmish. And CCP agreed and they did. Also, the clone limit will be an important factor in warfare in the future in terms of resource management.
8. It doesn't make sense to give you 20 units of a weapon for the cost of 1 unless CCP raises the cost to compensate. New Eden has no commodity in its thriving economy that allows you to buy more than one for the price of one unless another player makes a private deal with you via exchange contracts.
9. The arrows over your head is part of the Tactical Network (TACNET) that displays enemy location based on line of sight. If you see someone nearby, they will appear to everyone else in your team via the TACNET. But if you lose sight of them and no one else can either, then that enemy merc has disappeared off the TACNET. I am able to bypass this by using plenty of cover such as containers, hills, structures, etc. |

The only advise I can give is look at the gear of the person you're shooting at.
Pretty sure it says MLT, STD, ADV, PROTO or whatever when you aim at them.
If the dude you're shooting has STD (standard) /ADV (Advanced)/ Proto gear odds say they'll be shooting you with a Gek or a Duvolle and their shield will more than likely be quite high.
Pay attention to the names of who's killing who on the killfeed, that will tell you what gun they'll be killing you with.
Run away from heavies unless you can flank them and shoot them in the head from the side or behind. (or are in a group.)
That's all I got for new people. |

Welcome to New Eden.
This isn't your run of the mill shooter....13 year olds will probably fail at this game because they cant hop on before bed time, get a few kills and quit. It takes time. We have all invested months...millions of ISK...millions of SP....more changes than you could think of. and guess what...soon enough....we will be doing it all over again. Why you ask? because its different...it actually takes skill....in CoD you learn to turn your sensitivity up so you can turn faster to catch that guy trying to get you from behind. Here if your caught from behind your a sitting duck unless you have some skill.
We have Armor and Shields, so its not going to take three shots to kill us unless its a missle, forge, nade, or sniper rifle. As a newcomer to New Eden, you will die....alot. just as we all did. We all did the grind, lost hundreds and thousands of suits and we keep going back for more. |

Hello and welcome to DUST 514. I would like to know if you've completed the tutorials. The present version has this tutorials:
1- Neocom 2- Skills 3- Market 4- Fitting
I'm afraid that if you don't spend time learning the basics of the game through the tutorials, You will have questions that probably the tutorials can answer. My advise will be: complete the tutorials.
And if You have more questions about certain topics of the game; then You are more than welcome to elaborate and post your questions in the training room sub forum

Tutorials don't really cut it. You should get people into the action as soon as possible and preferrably train them along the way. When you get PvE, trash the tutorials and train as you go. Tutorials will just bore the **** out of everyone. |

If that's the case, then perhaps an option should be added in the character selection menu to simply go into an Ambush match or an NPC-run skirmish match in high-sec right away would suffice. But they still have to go through the login process since everything is processed in the server. |

As easy as it is to just comment this isn't your run of the mil Fps .the point that worrys me the most is that someone would rather pay 60 dollars instead of play a free to play game with dusts development. Also the frequency of these post would concern me if I was developer. To the op hold in till the next build release to make sure you still feel that strong like a lot of us are. |

This is my very first post and I couldn't possibly find a better thread to post on. OP, it appears to me that you are judging this game on preconceived notions of fps games. Big mistake! One battle should show you that. This game is confusing at first, yes. However, you get out what you put in. Take the time watch the tuts. It's worth it. I get raped all the time. Its part of the atmosphere and I feel legitimacy of the game. If someone has been a merc for longer it stands to reason that person would have better gear, weapons, armor, skill, and overall know how. I love this game. It breaks the fps mold. Totally. What works in run and gun games does not here. Those who enjoy lone wolf run and gun will fade. Just like they did at MAG's release. To claim that the dev must fix all that you claim is broken is very short sighted. CCP has attempted something truly gamechanging here. Stand back and admire it. Adapt to it. I for one would like to see the cookie cutter gun games go away totally. Dust is about consequences. Buy what you want but if you die you lose it. Blew my mind at first but if you think about it, isn't that about as legit as a shooter can get? People always cry for realism. Its here my friend and its freaking complicated. |

[As previously stated... you need to learn to just use the basic controls before you go spending all your money (ISK) on equipment. Probably wanna hang onto those skill points before you blow them on nonsense too.
I don't mean this to sound obnoxious, but after re-writing it ten or twelve times, I'm left with this simple question...
Is this the first video game you've ever played with money, or skill points?
You get a certain set of free stuff (and for a mere $1.99 can add every blueprint in the game)... which you can use over and over.
I'm still dropping "vets" with starter fits. All the time? No but it happens. Especially my smg.
Get a corp... or better yet, start one. Recruit others like you, and figure it all out by yourselves. I promise that when you're in the top twenty corperations, it'll be worth it. You can even start a new, second character (or third) for "messing" around) with skills/builds etc...
While steep, the game's learning curve is nothing like (for example) getting good enough in a Warhawk to stay in the air for 40 seconds without being shot down. Just plan a little, and poke around the menu before spending money/points and you'll figure it out in no time.
A good corp with people who want to help you get better is always a good thing. |

This. Full of win.
It does amaze me to see players wanting to play a console game that is suppose to be different yet they make requests to make it similar to others. I guess the OP doesn't realize that a lot of players don't all like cookie cutter games. |

What this game really needs is a training grounds/obstacle course type area that you can go to at any time to use owned weapons, equipment, and vehicles without risk of losing your stock. Then, make that area an optional tutorial that teaches the basic fundamentals of combat the first time you enter it.
Unless there already is one, in which case I don't know about it yet. Just got in the beta. All I know is the first time I went into combat I had no idea what I was doing. How to sprint, how to fire, how to switch weapons, etc. |

First post here, and haven't been in Eve since the Providence Wars, but loving what CCP is doing and where this game is headed. OK - now that the disclaimer is out of the way..
Having had the background of being in EVE, I figured the tutorials would be a good thing to go through, but to be quite honest I only went through the first screen of anything in order to just figure out where things were (like how to get into combat) - maybe 2 minutes. I jumped right in, really not at all understanding any of the mechanics. Part of that was excitement in getting started ASAP, but part of it too was in trying to see what the experience would be like for anyone who came from CoD or the like. I mean, let's be real, a lot of us out there who buy an FPS throw in the disc and hit multiplayer as soon as it loads without any concern over tutorials or the like. Maybe part of that is excitement, maybe part of that is the desire for instant gratification - but maybe it's also because we kind of know what to expect from many many years of pretty much the same thing.
That being said, I jumped into a skirmish right away and thought most of it was pretty obvious (from just an FPS standpoint). The STARTER builds let me try different combat roles which felt familiar to me which was perfect. Sure, the first few moments in combat I had no idea what the controls were... except, that's really a lie isn't it? A lot of them were exactly the same as any other FPS out there. I could run, change stance, throw a grenade, etc. I could also get shot and die and respawn. Not rocket science.
So then that led to the next thought... getting better gear, skills, etc. Well, the neocom got me into a game and had all the familiar eve skills/marketplace/etc. Someone else said this a few posts back, and I have to echo it - I spent probably an hour and a half in all that seeing what was available, etc. Not in a bad way or anything, I really like it, but it made me remember what the learning curve for Eve can seem for some people that are new to the game. ;)
Regardless, I think those that come into this looking for the usual FPS experience will still see that underlying foundation and really should only find themselves disappointed in their own impatience or ignorance. I thought the information screens were pretty well integrated as it was already, as I had the option of learning as much or as little as I wanted. Ultimately, I had no one to blame but myself for not knowing what I was doing. RTFM, HTFU, etc.
OK, this was longer than I intended and maybe off-topic some. To the OP; as has been said, this isn't your little sister's FPS. The underlying fundamentals are still there, and we're all more than welcome to play it that way (spawn, kill, die, respawn) if we like. BUT - to advance in the game, you'll have to play the game, and... well... use your brain, every so often, for maybe a few minutes. It isn't hard, it's a ton of fun, and there are plenty of corps/people out there who would love to help.

Well i see what your all saying but think about the market on counsole it is not the same for PC. People want to jump in and play not spend their life on game to upgrade a character. The game has terrible graphics they are awful. I know they are trying something new and i'm all for it i personally hate what cod has done to shooters. Any resistance fall of man fan would know what i'm talking about. But they have to be more generous with the market and im not going to pay real money for blue prints if playing it for free relies on spending money. if i have to drop more then $20 on this game for it to be fun the ill buy $60 game and not have to waste my time. I was extreamly excited when i got accepted to the beta i was looking up lore and into the back story. I downloaded it and was up and ready. first the graphics hit me as a piece of ****, then the death match centered game play pissed me off. the maps where i jog for 10min looking for an enemy. the lil red arrows that makes everyone visible for noob kills. and then got shat on by superior fire power i cant afford. you will have to play this game on day one or else your left in the dust. eve online must be great but that's not a shooter for one and two PC gamers and counsole players are very differnt my roommate is PC and im counsole i played WOW and im a big LOL fan now to but the style and the commitment are very different you cant expect this game to succeed with such a small nich at this rate its doomed to fail especially when there are other shooters that are more forgiving and and more fun. MAG is a great example id much rather play then this. but to be honest if killzone 4 releases before this then i wont be returning. |

Uh, PC Gamers are hardcore, Minecraft being the first game that casual players on PC took a shine too besides WoW. DUST's success will come from the casual gamers, who are far more willing to pick up a console game then a PC game. Why? PC Games communities are elitest assholes who think in an FPS that you can't even have an opinion without a 2.0 KDR. Throw in the availability of the PS3 compared to PC, It's just easier to sit down and relax to rather then sitting down in front of my computer.
The latest statistics from netflix says PS3 is there number 1 platform for online streaming, beating out PC. This goes to show the change of mind people are having towards consoles in general, and shows CCP may be on the right track making this a console exclusive.
I think PC gamers have a harder time being casual then console ones, and graphics have nothing to do with anything.
And for the post above me -I'd rather drop $60 bucks on a new game then spend 20 to make dust fun- This is a joke statement right? You'd rather drop 60 bucks on just any other FPS then spend 20 on possibly making a character rock in an ever expansive and growing game? You sir, are a rager. |

Just to state i do like the idea that my actions matter and that i have to play this game with my limits in mind about what kind of gear i have and if i lose i lose it to. But unless your a eve vet ummm i could really give two ***** about taking my time to find what some one is running and what kind of load out they have then i have to get my team cooperate in taking down an individual. NOW STOP think about that.....get my cooperate unless your playing with friends or a clan your ******. no one cooperates in any game even in LOL where the game is based on it and if they don't have mics good luck with that. I enjoy a challenge and as far as putting a kill limit on the skirmish mode i have no clue why you want that when your suppose to going for objectives vs kills like i said it invites camping. Kill-cams im not a fan but what dictates line of sight if my camera is in your general direction i can see you, your in my line of sight if you can see me unless you can see through walls. (don't argue this its physics) I enjoy the challenge but like i said im not going to pay to play if the game is free then that's how i play it same goes for LOL i don't pay unless i really want a skin. Im not going to pay for blue prints they should be accessible in game currency otherwise anyone who pays again will **** on others. if that's the case where i have to pay then ill get a good game like killzone. The other concern is and ill let it slide with it being a beta is the game looks like crap im playing on my ps2. reminds me of a ****** version of killzone 1. I want to get into this game i really do trust me but right now there is nothing that makes me want to play. If you want to make a game where dieing really matters im all for it but make smaller maps that allow for tactical play. Metal Gear online did a great job and so did MAG. this game the cost of death is to high with little reward. Almost mandatory you play with a clan or mics which i like but good-luck finding actually players granted i come from mindset of 5th graders that play and do what they want but lil here shows me its any diffrent you will always ahve the people who will do what they want and **** the team over but when that means i lose items i put time into getting and get spawned killed or even a regular kill **** it. |

Yes im saying they are different for that reason so think about the regular ps3 gamer who trys this game. THIS IS NOT A CASUAL GAME IN ANYWAY! As far as droping $20 on a ****** looking game that takes way to much time to be casual vs a $60 solid great looking game that i can jump on play and have fun any day any time ill take it. Just a FYI IM NOT A COD FAN IN ANY WAY. I enjoy Killzone and playing Resistance fall of man 1 before cod ****** it. |

But instead, you bought BF4, blew up a building with 3 people in it, and got to fly in an aircraft with 30 other people at once. Then you gladly did it all over again, and again, and again.

Its been stated before and i think they all make a good point this game needs better tutorials and what would e nice is online missions that are co-op not pvp. Do missions or contracts that you can earn gear and in game currency with out fighting others. If this game wants to be like a rpg then make it like one. Just like in WOW not everyone is doing pvp 24/7 they do missions and such to build their character. this will allow newcomers to come in and have fun before joining the fight. But just jumping in as a wet fish where is the fun if you just wrecked when you try. Like the fact you lose everything but getting it back somewhat should not seem like a job. This is a game not an occupation. And yes other games have it where vets wreck noobs but to this scale not where is it this bad. a slightly better lmg at lvl 20 vs a assault rifle at lvl 2 your good. but armor, weapons, modules, vehicles, and everything else a vet has vs a noob at lvl 1 the odds are stacked much higher in this game then any other. |

The more I hear about eves Highsec and Lowsuc and nullsec and such, the more I see how CCP could pull it off. |

I hope it gets really big if you think it will go to ps4. better update the graphics and such. Cause i see this game filling a small niche in games i would love to see filled but execution so far not such much. Give me missions and contracts for co-op PvE and I can see people getting on board and even i will drop real cash on this game but as it sits you better get the most out of it till 2015 cause i dont see it being popular on ps4. |

It will be for the PS4 and all it's sexy improvements.
And why do graphics matter? I'm confused. I didn't realize how the ground look determined if it's fun or not. |

We are in a age of where people like a good looking game. I want to enjoy my experience and where visuals are 90% of how you connect to a video-game its important. Blan landscaped can ruin great game-play video-game history has shown us that. Just please don't say nintendo is amazing compared to modern games they didnt have the tech back then and everyone loves a classic. Dust is not a classic so it doesn't get a pass in the visuals department. And something you all seem to enjoy saying is that this game breaks the mold its new it great for being new i totally agree but... BUT it has to be accessible play have to be able to play it and you cant rely on only a small group to keep it alive. It costs money to keep a game up and running and they need to get people to drop real cash to keep it going not in game cash. Look at the business model you cant make it pay to play you have to make it accessible to a large market and you have to make them want to drop real cash on it. If they dont take care of these three core aspects of a free game then it will fail. I'm glad apparently there are missions and pve as the above post stated so if that's going to be in there then its all gravy baby lol |

I agree I enjoy classic games and graphics aren't big for me. But look at the market and the new HD remastering of games. Dont just think about your self you need to think about others and if they will play. lol i wish they made a game just for me but i dont know how many people will buy it, that kinda thing.

But FF10 HD "REMASTER" is almost out :D
And I think there's a lot who agree that the meta gaming aspect of this game far exceeds anything bad graphics could destroy |

Call of Duty has elevated quite a lot of people's ADHD. This is a problem.... for them. If you don't want to spend an hour going through a tutorial to play, then don't complain about not knowing how things work. It took me almost 2 full days just to get through the Tutorials in Eve, and that was just the begining of what was to come.
If you want something quick go jerk off or play COD. As for me I shall retain my patience and continue to learn about this game and going through any and all Tutorials CCP has laid out for us, as well as reading informative forums topics. Lots of good info in the training ground pages. But I guess that would take patience and time... |

Unfortunately this game wont be for everyone. The very fact that this game has a penalty for deaths beyond the whole (x) seconds wait to respawn makes this a game I really hope does well.
You state things are too expensive yea they are at first. Thats why if you listen to the advice your getting instead of ranting you will get somewhere. When i started playing I didnt know what to do about the ISK or the SP at first but I spent time looking into the options. I joined at the end of the last build. This build I am doing great because I took a bit of time and figured out what I would like to specialize in. If you dont take the time when you wont find this game fun.
Everyone dies alot at the beginning and only the above average players will do extremely well even with militia fits when they go up against more advanced suits. Getting in late will of course make things a little harder at first but if you look and figure out what to upgrade first you will find that the difference is not as great as you initially thought.
People are willing to help and will squad up with you if you just ask on the in game chat. Wait until you have at least 1mil ISK banked up before you start buying militia fits just use what has been given you or even better use the free fits (i still use them to kill redline snipers myself).
Also what are you good at or enjoy in FPS games? Some people are better at repairing/healing/support roles while others arent. Play to your skills.
I believe you mentioned MAG in your Wall O Text......if you enjoyed MAG then you will probably enjoy this game and you should know that in order to really enjoy MAG there was a learning curve. Well Dust has a larger learning curve than MAG did so you have to realize this and take your time. |

If you don't want to spend an hour going through a tutorial to play, then don't complain about not knowing how things work. It took me almost 2 full days just to get through the Tutorials in Eve, and that was just the begining of what was to come.
If you want something quick go jerk off or play COD. As for me I shall retain my patience and continue to learn about this game and going through any and all Tutorials CCP has laid out for us, as well as reading informative forums topics. Lots of good info in the training ground pages. But I guess that would take patience and time...
exaaaaaaaactly you nailed it right there^ |
