I quit Dust 514, for a bit, for a good reason. When i started, you could buy a soma tank for keeps, and then just drop them in endlessly. All you'd see in a battle was militia tanks of both varieties (I forgot the other ones name) and then there was the militia drop-ships.

It's only been nearly a year, but the changes we've gone through are shocking. I don't believe all of us are talking down to newberries either, since I've been reading some really concerned posts among the forum, from notable named dust players, about how the new players, aren't seemingly grasping, or appear to be not grasping how this isn't your typical FPS. Though i may be wrong this front.

QQ's everywhere from what i've noticed, do i complain about the same thing? Yah, but i use tactics to get around these problems, just like i did back when tanks and drop-ships were everywhere.

Just to clarify, I've only just started posting upon the forums my self.

People keep talking down to new players even tho Dust514 only entered open beta a few days ago. It gets really annoying.
How long have you guys been playing Dust514 cause some of you talk like you have been playing Dust514 for more then 3 years.

Alot of us have been in the beta for a long time, the closed beta started about November 2011 (I've been here since feb 2012) and the only reason we are sometimes hostile towards new people is because they join the beta and because its not like bf3/blops 1 and 2/ cod where it's easy kills and very little thinking to be done.......they want all the weapons in dust nerfed beyond ridiculousness.
They jump into dust all gung ho tally ho solo Rambo and wonder why they keep dying, without even taking a look at the skill system.
Of course a laser rifle or heavy machine gun is going to kill them with a few shots.....they didn't skill up.
If they weren't trying to break the game because they suck then we would welcome them with open arms.

So basically to answer the OP directly: A lot of us have been here between 6 months to over a year. so yes, that's quiet of bit of time to give them reason to think your a scrub in comparison to there extensive experience.

Post logically though and they'll receive you well. It's not like they're hostile - they're just afraid of you newberries and the changes you bring.

I came in in june btw. That'd be nearly 7 months just for me.

Pretty much sums it up dude

New player myself and just wanted to say that while a lot of my fellow newberries (love that expression) are crying about this and that. The guys from the closed beta have been nothing but helpful to me in game.

To the newberries, when you ask a question, and a guy comes back with an answer and he sounds like he is talking down to you, remember, he has probably had to answer that same question 100 time that evening. So say thanks to him and if you should see someone ask a question you know the answer to, reply to it and share the information you have learned.

Again thanks to all you blueberry classics, you guys have been a great help last 2 days.

Hoping into team chat has become as painful as local sometimes. It's not even the frustration that's obviously coming from newberries getting crushed trying to play like this is golden eye and they have the golden gun. It's the utter disregard of this game itself as being anything to them but just another shooter. They don't understand how amazing this game will be or the value it's meta will have. All they see is there KDR and how they can pad it more.
