Im writing this because im still a bit in a shock.

I just had a situation where a player drove a tank, stepped out of it to run off so i take over. Apparently the player returns, chased me with blue on blue fire (!) and after the match sends me a very offensive and non so eloquent email.

Im used to have silly situations online. But never really got cussed at in a manner like this without having any harmfull intent myself.


Which made me think of what we can expect of the Dust 514 community. For im starting to realize it will be getting no where close to the Eve Community. Will people like this end up deciding the community or are there more positive views ?

lmao, funny story. To answer your question, no.

Real talk...you shouldn't steal peoples tanks. No matter what happens with the future of this game people will never be happy about this scenario. Argue it on either side of the fence until you are blue in the face but it won't matter. Tank drivers get mad about someone stealing their tank. Others say they deserve it if they get out the drivers seat.

Ive done a lot of stuff in eve. And really there's a bigger "deal with it" additude all round. But if someone ejects from their vehicle and runs off it's hardly stealing. But thats not my point, even if it was stealing. I do love some trolling myself but never been as rude to someone by calling them what-nots.

In my experience we'll end up in Dust as a bunch of zitty Counterstrike players from Holland wishing you god knows what kind of illnesses. And i dont think im off that far. But well see i guess

I think your the ******* for not giving him his tank. I drive tanks and its easy for you to complain while the other person is putting 500000 isk on the line. We dont spend the money so somebody can screw around with it like a toy. There are things i let go but when somebody steals my tank IM PISSED!

There is meant to be disgust in the eyes of capsuleers when they watch us fight it out brutally on the ground, with no eloquence, no political manipulation, no grace. There is meant to be entertainment. We are gladiators, they are the kings. I wouldn't be surprised if friendly betting starting occurring over us. Imagine it. DUST fights becomes the horse racing of our world.

You stole his tank, you deserve to die.

Repeatedly

Correction you shouldn't steal your teams tank's, if the enemy are so foolish as to leave one unattended however go for it

Most of the vets will tell you we're an odd community of love and hate. But most of the hate is really just trolls and there's no hard feelings.

The new berries I can't speak for - there's assholes no matter where you go. But I'd vouch for this community being a good one.

If someone rages about you "stealing" their tank, reply appropriately.

"Welcome to New Eden. Be thankful it's still in one piece."

or

"Welcome to New Eden. At least it made for some nice fireworks?"
