the best way for them to do this is to have dust players but FPS'ers are a different style than PC Gamers so in general they wont care.

How will capsuleer corporations be ganking us?Srsly? What can they do to us that will make us shake in fear? I mean other than shoot tha lasers our way?

EVE pilots walk among you on the ground. I am one of them.

Your corporation will be infiltrated. Your assets will be stolen. You will die to seemingly friendly fire. Your corporation will be disbanded. Your allies will turn on you. You will be subjected to socioeconomic warfare. Armies will be flattened into sheets of glass. Your clone won't die, but your spirit will crushed.

Are you ready? We are.

:D This guy knows what I'm talking about!

Meh, I still got my militia BPO fits. You should realize most of us Dusters don't need fancy spaceships or quadrillions of ISK or a place to live.... or even friends.

Excellent. This is exactly what we're hoping for.

No really its a game, people will do what they want to in them... If you would like to think of it as real life domination and you're controlling me or anyone else knock your self out.

Press start, select quit game, join another one. I'm so terrified I'm shaking at the knees.

They can issue two contracts, one to attack and one to defend a planet (One or both might be through a dumbie corp). In doing so they may just end up nuking both attackers and defenders from orbit to waste their isk heavy suits. Shooting at both sides with orbital strikes expecting to hit "Friendlies".

ftfy. Also Eve players are already here , and we will indeed infiltrate your corps, steal your stuff, and shoot you in the back, and then disband the corp when we are done. Totally fine by CCP.

This is why EVE Online seemed to be pretty much a waste of my time. They enjoy bringing scum into their world and I prefer killing it.

So the other 50-100 guys in the corp who have been fighting alongside each other talking every night building friendships are just going to wake up the day after someone stole the corp wallet and say gee let's just all disband this corp and not work/play together again. Lol

you clearly don't know how corp mechanics work. Corp can indeed be disbanded without approval of the other 50-100 people in the corp.

i believe his point was that most of those guys will stay in touch and just form another corp

That is generally what happens with FPS guys.

Clan break up? Oh well, lets make a new one.

Eventually it will have more of an impact than that. When our corp went **** up we lost sov on 1/3 of our systems and lot our logistic chain of JBs in 12 hours.

Losing your corp and identity is a huge hit to morale.

Here we go again. Lol the evetard's are back again.

I'm not saying it doesn't suck, it does.

But a lot of FPS players enjoy hanging out with buddies and blasting the enemy in the face. If they can still do that with their friends then I doubt they'll just drop DUST.

In EvE, the measure of your power is your wealth.

In DUST it's your marksmanship.

Losing your corp and identity is a huge hit to morale.

This. In a persistent single shard world, corps _will_ have assets (bases on planets, shared equipment), standings and reputation. After all, risk and loss which matter are the main selling points of Dust. And even in EVE, your reputation is in the end that matters - it gets you friends and enemies. Big alliances live and die by their morale and reputation. And this will propagate to Dust, as the world is shared. No one can remember names of all half a million characters - it's the standings and reputation that takes them to you.

And if you can kill reputation and morale, the group is dead. This is of course very difficult, and often takes hundreds of people and months to do. But it's also something that is done in EVE already, so it's a reality, not just theory. Dust being partially separate helps a bit in limiting that, but it's still theoretically possible.

i personally prefer to call them space gods because
a)most of them don't seem to care at all what happens done here on earth
b)they give the impression of being all powerful while actually being rather impotent without our intervention
c)they rarely have an impact on me and i can go about my business knowing they're somewhere up there

overlord presents them as some kind of scheming mastermind

It also implies some semblance of intelligence, and, if what I've seen of the EvE forums is anything to go by, that's a very rare commodity in the EvE community.

I imagine all the higher ups in the more powerful corps bought it all up or something.

please can some eve player link that over to the eve forums then give me the link, the response will be better than any film

They won't be ganking us. They wil be hiring us to gank the planetary assets of others.

We are dust compared to them. We mean little to nothing.

the mindset to consider. I mean the mindset of an mmo player who sinks months if not years into a character and a group will be radically different in how they perceive certain things, to an fps gamer who is more focused on his next unlock and his k/d ratio.

ftfy. Also Eve players are already here , and we will indeed infiltrate your corps, steal your stuff, and shoot you in the back, and then disband the corp when we are done. Totally fine by CCP.

Having played EVE of and on I'd be willing to bet there are already a few double agents in the bigger corps laughing and joking with you. Maybe he's your regular squad buddy. But all that time he reporting back to his true master keeping an eye on your assets, sharing your plans and waiting until you give him that all important role in your corp then BOOM all your assets are gone muhahahahah cough cough.

EVE players need to remember one thing. WE ARE MERCENARIES. I am in it for my own wallet, not yours, not a corps, not even my buddies down the hall. You can try to screw me over all you want. As long as I have a clone to spawn into I will keep on fighting for whoever will pay me the most.

As to bombarding "Friendlies" on the surface of a planet, you're only going to screw yourself. FPS gamers don't like to be stabbed in the back. They will make it their mission to do it to you, and it won't be at a corp level either. It will be a personal vendetta carried out by those you screwed. Vengeance will be swift, we won't need months of planning and prep to be ready to fight.

Unlike MMOs, FPS gaming is not a long term investment. We are in it for instant satisfaction from killing our enemies. Our enemies don't even have to be someone we don't like either. It could be our best-friend sitting beside us who happened to be on the opposite team, we will hunt them down to laugh at them after we kill them and them to us.

Simply put, bring it on. We are ready when you are.

alas your lack of a logibro means you have run out of ammo. now burn before my lazer!!

"ducks behind cover, waits for lazer to over heat"

yea and some eve overload will pick up the fragments of an infiltrated corp and refund them if good dust mercs become an asset to eve players

the war decs in eve work like this all the time some corp gets wiped out but the pvpers dont just quit they reform or some actually are asorbed by the corp who defeated them

"drops nanohive, starts tossing grenades"

done that-limit is three nades a hive
moves 2 feet away, grenade does nothing

moves into teammate's line of fire, remember a good logi never fights alone

(yay free points) but seriously uses distraction to get out of range of hmg and headshot with laser rifle, you duck into cover, i continue to suppress you as teammates move up, grenade you and put you down

NOPE, Hnope, have my own team mates, as ya'll focus on me, the AR's slaughter yours, and my scouts shot gun gank u

oh but it seems all my free points(see last post) have earned me an orbital strike total annihilation of the opposing team

sorry to dissapoint but we're playing on manus peak, no buildings

damn time limit ran out the match is a draw

actually been in a skirmish that was a draw.
did not think it was possible.
pretty damn funny hearing your team mates curse about it though

i know just pointed out something annoying

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry-, wait does this mean i get victory by default?"

NO!!!
last roll was mine, and i called in a titans OB on your ass


EDIT: i've been here for 4 hours now
gonna go play dust now
you know, the game we've been talking about?

to my regret i cannot. it is 3am(GMT0) over here and i need to get some sleep. i might be on for an hour after maintenance or on late in the evening. having to work around various family members for control of the lounge is annoying

I'm not liking all the "fps gamers only care about this" or "mmo players are different because of this" EVE just like DUST will has different layers of player who want different things from their games. I played EVE for a while and big corp scandals and battles between the likes of goonswarm or BoB never effected my game (directly)

Some players will just want to log on everyday to kill other players, inflate their KDR and be the top of the leaderboards. Other players will only care about nul sec sec and scoff at the "noobs" who play pub matches they will care about their corp and it's reputation.

It's these players who WILL care about about all the politics and scandals but that's the beauty of new Eden its a different game to everybody. DUST might not end up with the same scope but CCP do it right it and should have at least a fraction of it.

NewsFlash: Goons are already here, they just aren't in Goon (no I'm not a member)

But until Dust affects null sec Goons are unlikely to care about Dust!

yeah, here's the problem with your espionage and sabotage, and theft(don't act life its some kind of heroic achievement. you're just stealing from someone else's hard work because you're spiteful that they have more than you)

...

You don't play a lot of online FPS games, do you?

And vice versa. Nothing anyone in EVE does will effect my enjoyment of this game one little bit.
