Is there anything you all can think of to help newer players so we don't have as many one-and-done players? |

Because THAT'S what's going to keep this game populated. |

such as balance, FPS, hit detection, map design, map count, playability, loading times, connection issues, lag, less grindy, quicker action, larger groups, poisonous community, a better tutorial, controls that don't suck, actually play on an engine you are going to use not one you are just using as a placeholder....
i could go on but you get the jist.
i had witnessed the same type of behavior as someone was gang banged by a group of 4 heavies running around.
gotta love that HMG as it rips through everything without issue.
A lot of those issues will be addressed in Uprising. |

Also, more tutorial guides would be nice to see!
Examples:
Weapon guide
Fitting guide
Role guide
Tactics guide for specific roles
Aiming guide
I will be working with other heavies to put out a Heavy 101 series. I'm gonna be a busy guy come May 6. |

LMFAO  this is how it was in my day, and I'm still around (actually I rather enjoyed my time as a nooby, but then perhaps I am some what of an anomaly *shrugs*). Plus, in my day, we had to walk up hill both ways thigh deep in snow just to get to and from a battle. 
That may be the case for you, and props for doing it that way, but you're part of the select few. If CCP wants Dust to compete with other FPS titles, they need to do something to get new players interested for longer than a couple days. |

The reason I used Call of Duty and Battlefield as examples is because at the keynote, they made it clear they were trying to "liberate" CoD/BF players. It's a tough task, but with time and some key changes it is possible. |

No one became a bad ass at any MMO on their first run.
You will get stomped, you will be spawn camped, tanks will be spammed on a regular basis, and someday maybe in a week maybe in a few months you will get better. You will grab proto gear, you will melt them with your weapons, and you will look back and say " it wasnt as hard as it seemed."
Time will weed out the weak and unworthy. Time will seperate the men from the boys.
So give the game your time and it will return it ten fold.
Also join an ESTABLISHED corp, ask questions, use the forums.
No one should have to quite the game use your brain, read the skills, use everything untill you find your fit.
The people who leave this game because they get pub stomped dont belong here....
So buck up and welcome to new eden.
The problem is new players get overwhelmed by information and lack of guidance. No matter who you are, you most likely had someone help you along the way. Dust University is great, but you only really know about them if you do solid research. It shouldn't be like that, IMO. With the game as deep as it is, having true training grounds would help the game immensely. |

I didn't know that. I wonder how difficult it would be to add an automated message to your Dust character when you first start telling you about Dust University.

Experienced players who want new players to stay could simply be really nice to new players.
Squad up...talk to the noobs in chat...let em in your corporations...or at least your alt corporations...give em access to your eve pilots and orbital strikes....i am sure there are a hundred other things one can do to build community I have not thought of.
Fundamentally CCP is a big corporation. They can't do this stuff...only the players can. That was said on the video... you know the one on the OP.
Aw, you watched it. Hahah. But yes, I did say it in the video. And it's in the title of the thread. "What can we do?" |

Every game has flaws, some debilitating, but the thing that makes a game worth playing, for the most part, is the people you play it with. Recruit new players, teach them tactics, help them with their play style, ***** and moan about broken functions together.
Battlefield, Defiance, CoD. A few games that are intolerable to play solo, for me at least, but playing them with friends or 'contacts' makes them less so. This game is no different.
I would say this game is more squad based than any game I've ever played. Squads get more WP which leads to OBs which can have an extreme impact on the outcome of any given match |

Your video raised some interesting points and I applaud your effort to attract new players. However, I noticed that you give much thanks in your vid to Subdreddit for helping you learn the ropes as a noob, but I see now that you are currently with SyN.
Just wondering why you bailed, brother?
Ahhh, bailed is such a negative term. I prefer resigned. Lol.
I have goals in Dust that I would like to achieve, and I believe playing with SyNergy gives me a better chance to meet those goals. Also, I have a lot of buds in the EoN. alliance, especially in GIANT. I don't have any problems with Subdreddit, but they obviously think I'm a traitor. I even donated 10 mil ISK to Subdreddit before I left.
