are going to quit this game due to proto/officer pubstomps, spawncamps and skillpoint differences.

hope that's pretty damn high on the list of priorities, ccp.

Proper matchmakeing should solve those issues.

There are two types of players when it comes to games.

The ones who prefer even footing, a fair match everytime.

May 6th will help solve this issue.

Introduction to Faction Warfare and Planetary Conquest will pull organised groups out of current instant battle hisec games.
Even those not interested in PC will still be in FW as it will have higher payouts and higher lvl of play resulting in more teamwork since larger groups will be allowed.

I dont think u will see much boring fights in FW anymore unless ppl manage to convince 15 other of their team to sit back and not push lol

And with all the vets being in big corps and/or in alliances FW will be heated

Only the scrub corps will stick around in Hisec games and tbqh those ppl wont scare away any newbies cuz most likely they are terrible anyway....no offense to said ppl.

PS: keep in mind u will be gettin SP in PC and FW.

This type of player, after playing FPS's for 2 decades does not excist, its the lochness monster everyone keeps talking about it, but noone has seen it.

Players will use every little advantage they can get, even if the game is on even footing like you say they will either.

closet hack (on pc), or use the flavor (op) weapon/ build of the month, play in dedicated teams on public games, use moderate glitches to get a small advantage or use turbo (rapid fire) controllers to negate all/most recoil of a weapon.

Or moan about it on the forums, if said advantage is not on their side.

People also like to think they are THE GOD of fps games, then blame it on everything else when they get their butt kicked, good players know their limits, what they can, bad players blame it on the game.


Yesterday a friend of mine after months me nagging about it tried it out, he lasted 1 hour, he is also horrible at FPS games but thinks he can magically compete with 2 decades of FPS experiance.

Then when the scores are in 20+/0 against his 1/10, everyone including me must be hacking their PS3, the game is crap, i got more skill, my proto gear is is the cause of my awesomeness.

Fair enough i swap to a new character with 500k sp and run a 17/3 against a dedicated team in Militia gear and kill a couple of protos in the process, he gets 0/12 and rage quits the game.

His Ego couldnt take it i guess.

try it in japan evening gah its horrible. luckily i have mates in europe i just let them lead lol.

Wait, it is?

I play from Japan and doing pretty well, even when running solo with low SP in infantry skills.

Valid points, but I meant to make a reference to the difference say between BF3 and Dust. BF3 everyone has the same HP, movement speed, gun selection ect. It is a more fair match because every player is met with the same constraints. To some this is much more appealing.

Dust allows players to compete with a different set of constraints. Those who start and don't see the potential to build, but instead focus on how the matches are unfair will never enjoy a game like this. Dust will attract those who can accept that war isn't always fair, and sometimes you are going to die due to superior gear and SP, even if you managed to outplay your opponent.

[Granted as someone who plays with 8.3mil SP and a 1.5mil SP alt character there is not as big of a difference as most people think]
