Noone cares about them in the FPS world because they haven't been a factor.

Yea, but DUST isn't from the FPS world; it's from the MMOFPS world, and it's a game changer for sure.

Who gives a crap about a tiny little corp of good players if they don't have real muscle behind them. It's all about alliances and coordination in large numbers. DUST mercs should inform themselves of the power struggles within EVE, as they will some day play a direct role in their day to day lives as immortal killing machines.

!!! LOL !!!

or if they decide it's fun. I doubt they care if the good players leave.

also I knew KEQ corp was not going to be good smugface.jpg.

All I hear is excuses for them being bad. Goonswarm = shook

There's a difference. In EVE you can swarm 80 players against 8. In Dust, you can't. Each team will have the same number of players in a given match, so numbers < skill, which kind of goes against the Goon strategy. Not to say there aren't skilled goons out there, but the thing that sets them apart is their ability to zerg their enemies.

The Pandemic Legion comparison is much better, but assumes we give a damn about getting their attention. Just because PL is a great merc corp in EVE doesn't mean we are trying to be them or need their attention.

Why does this thread feel so negative? I am not aware of any hostility between us and any EVE corp, so why not just answer the question? We do not know the exact nature of how EVE and Dust will interact, so we have a policy of keeping our options open. We are not linked to the Goons in any way. By my understanding, Immobile Infantry are the Goon presence here, and many of them seem like decent enough people, so perhaps we may work with them when it serves a purpose, or maybe we'll be on the other side. Depends on the money. We are mercs, after all. But seeing as how the Goons probably have the most money to throw around, seems like they have the most ability to afford the best, which is us.

Soon.
War is coming.

REST TEST.

Oh, no... we already did that.


My email's posted in Jabber for you so you can ping me later. We need to talk i'm guessing by you asking about me all the time.

We don't know how many maps can be in play on planet at once yet.

If they can start 50 battles at same time, elite corp can't even contest some of them unless they spread out.

300 spartans in open steppe would not have gone as well, with no goat path to be enveloped by spartans would have done much better. To early to tell if numbers vs quality will tip toward quality. On a single battle, quality of course. Goons won't care if they can meet goals by bypassing strongpoint imperfects can hold indefinably.

Some goons do play fps, they are just not necessarily goonswarm. The something awful forum has many corps/clans in different games and genre. I knew a guy that kept complaining about goons beating his clan in team fortress, and I knew a goon number of years back involved in the "goon swim team" that crashed a wow server. Goon in high school was always playing counter strike.

For record, I am in no way connected to goons. Just met a few in real life, and used to check Photoshop Phriday section of something awful for the humor.
