We can't be too brutal to the new guys or they'll get discouraged and run away

I'm feeling the same way.
Also-

The players we want are the ones who soldier through the brutality.

This.

It's worked just fine for Eve. Just look at the game's learning curv... err... cliff. Surprisingly the game's overall brutality and cut-throat culture of "trust no one" is what attracted so many players over the years.

I plan to nade spam them. I have alt just skilled in nanohives and nades.

it's not personal but someone has to condition them for how ccp is going to treat them. Am I wrong?

Since you posed the question, yeah, you are.

Although, I wouldn't use the word "wrong," more like childish.

Seriously guys? Do I have to put a disclaimer on every post that says "This is 100% sarcasim, I was just trying to be subtle about it"

Gdi.....ya know, I should have seen through on that. My bad Free Beers.

yeah never take me seriously man. all joking aside i feel for the noobs and hope as many as possible survive. If they don't its not on us really, more of the game ccp has given us. All we can do it recruit themto our corps and give them all the help we can. solo noobing is going to be rough.

actually when it comes to game play or balancing discussions then yeah, take me seriously.

; being the last good game on ps3 would not hurt

im i the only one who is feeling two sided about the whole open beta thing or im i just being overly pessimistic and cynical?....

Dust really isn't ready. I know its still "beta" but like I said in some other threads, first impressions mean everything.

May be that some walkaway just to come back months from now when things are fixxed,ftp game that it is will prolly see a lot of that.

For a free game it's less important. People will come and go. Without any fee to purchase the game and without a subscription fee, people have very few obstacles to prevent them from giving the game another shot in the future. First impressions are still important, and Dust is pretty rough right now, but it probably isn't the end of the world.

it not so much about the inflex of new bloods but more that transgaming/transmedia is going to be a thing one way or another and all eyes are on dust however ccp seems too "unworryed" if you get what i am saying...
