I tried playing this for a few hours and all I seem capable of doing is dieing repeatedly. Which is rapidly costing me money to pay for the respawns. My gun seems to do little to no damage which I guess means either the other guy has some sort of armor bonus or my gun just sucks. Which I'd probably upgrade if I could somehow make my way through the seemingly endless information about the guns I wish to purchase. Seriously it's like reading the most boring novel about a gun. This game is not for the casual player and requires more time and effort to play than I can afford to give it. For those thinking I'm just hateful you're entitled your opinion. But no game has pissed me off more so fast since Peggle. These are just my honest thoughts on the game. Good luck with your beta. I will probably never play this again.
I am also no big FPS guy. My titles are things like Total War and Civilization. Eve is the major reason I am even playing this game.
That being said, it has been pretty fun. I'm in a starter corp and have gone it completely alone, thus far (though I will probably change that). Spawn killing is significantly more prominent in ambushes versus skirmishes. Try skirmishes. Try getting someone to squad with you in local chat or your starter corp chat. Most of the people I've played with were pretty cold on the SP system without a little coaching (an experienced Eve player most likely looks at the Dust skill system as Eve Jr.). Ditto on fittings.
My recommendation, though, is that maybe you should wait until later in the beta or post release to play Dust. When the game mechanics integrate with Eve, many if not most of the hardcore/pro crowd will vanish to null sec space after the big money and leave regular public matches to newbies and lowbies.
As far as personal time is concerned...that isn't this games fault. Don't start playing Total War or Skyrim or hundred of other titles that require the barest level of time commitment. I jumped right in to playing because I had a friend with a closed beta key who I had the opportunity to learn the basics from. The time investment to learn the skills in this game can be spread over time, though. SP gains passively. Leave your char for 2 months. Come back. Spend your points and try playing again with a stronger character. |
