I hope that they already have a lot of new content they just keep it in reserve for the actual release, so that release actually feels like an introduction to an awesome game instead of something that has been explored already and beat up.

On the other hand I don't understand why this beta has been taking forever. There just has not been that much improvement or balancing build to buid.

This is why the game shouldn't have entered open beta yet. And why we can't have nice things. Half of you would still be bitching if they gave us everything you are asking for.

You just said it buddy. On PC.. The FPS central force. (Albeit it has slow down since consoles went full FPS) Compared to The myriad of FPS on the PC, it actually looks worse then on console. I see dust retaining or gathering more mmorpg crowd then the fps folks.

For those that are saying that the game needs to get easier to hold the casual crowd I say that is what PvE is for and agree we need that asap if this game wants to retain a strong player base.


I have a good feeling that they will show PVE at fanfest but they need to start looking at game modes in a serious way or no.amount of structures will hide the fact that the game is repetitive.

i think that CCP's target audience is the casual gamers the ones who like capture the flag, free for all, domination, and team deathmatchs (you know COD fans).

which is why i support the gladiator arena so much becasue it satisfies those players who want simple things for fps, but for people board with simple minded modes we would have planetary conquest or faction warfare where Dust is harder and provides a war like conquering feeling ,along with complex game modes of course.

for example say the noobs or COD player or what ever you call it is a infant. Now the Dust vets are adults. You would give that infant rattle or some simple baby toy to play with. Now as the child gets older from infant to toddler to small child that rattle isnt going to entertain them anymore ,so you get them a big better toy to play with and so on. It wouldnt be a smart idea to give a infant a six pack of beer and tell it to have fun nor will it be a good idea to have a 20 year old playing with a rattle still.

first you have to cater to the new bloods then when bordom hits (like in most fps) let them explore the deapth of the game.

i hope there is a major difference between PC and skirmish. i hope when they try PC they say GÇ¥crap thats hardGÇ£. i hope that the imperfects conquer half of new eden.

im just not sure how CCP is going to retain the noobs coming in.

unrelated: if CCP neededs a new innovative game mode then it will probably be made in the gladiator arena

I agree with a lot of what you say. Especially those parts that about how sometimes people will get shouted down here end of story. I kind of feel that we would do better as a community to try to work through the rage and get to understand why some people are so disappointed with this game. Even when we are sick and tired of hearing the same old rants and feel like we know better.

And also I would somewhat reluctantly agree that it can appear that there are cliques, and favoritism, and questionable levels of privilege and access, and that sycophants hold undue sway in this here land of New Eden, but I would only go so far as to say it sort of looks like that, sometimes. That there is, again, the appearance of a certain amount chumminess between some of the community and CCP itself that makes me feel uneasy, from time to time.

But if anyone wanted an example of proper tinfoil hattery, here it is. Or there it is. In that quoted passage. Ladies and gentlemen, this man has donned his tinfoil hat! Behold the knowledge a cranium thusly protected will allow you to put forth!
