I am playing a round of ambush, and everyone on the red team quits besides one guy. Instead of killing him mercilessly, I got my squad to stop shooting him and then gave him my tank. We spent the rest of the round running around in LAVs giving him stuff to shoot at. Afterwards, I sent him a squad invite and this was his response:
"I don't play often enough to matter"
It broke my heart that this is how new players feel. |

It is kinda sad to see the type of folks on the past couple days, since it seems the vets are taking a break.. I played a couple today and reds just running past me aimlessly, unfortunately since its a free game and CCP doesn't give new players anything to fight in/for and no initial investment this is going to be the attitude of the masses...
E.g. The pointless faction warfare coming with Uprising... |

This game is about connections and sociability. To form bonds and to know people.
The tools for groups to happen, the improvement of communication, all this is important.
Everyone matters. They just need to get together =) |

Seems like he was victim of the "elitist" nature of the game. People also think EVE is hard, and most feel discouraged by that idea to the point, that when they give it a try, they feel like whatever they do won't be affect anyone in any way... wouldn't that the same would happen in DUST.
Or maybe he is too much of a casual player. |

You sure he wasn't just kindly declining because he thought you guys were confused as to how to play the game? I mean, I use the "I'm not good enough for you" excuse tons of times when I just feel like playng alone. |

To give new people a chance in public matches, the matches have to be changed drastically to accommodate them.
Some extreme ways
1) No premade squads. Everyone hops into the game solo and are randomly squaded up.
2) Much better matchmaking. Make it based on SP earned so far.
3) Keep kit levels restricted in public matches.
4) No Precision Strikes. Prevents the winning team from slaughtering the losing team even more.
Dust 514 was made for Corp vs. Corp battle. Unfortunately that doesn't translate into public matches very well where guys in Proto suits can go 35-0 and the new guys don't even stand a chance. |

I remember a corpmate giving up his tank to me so I could try it out. I lost two of them  , but it helped me get a good idea of what tanks were like before skilling into them.
Nice gesture, I think IMPS are misunderstood. |

A "Looking for group" feature to form squads before battles would be quite helpful for new people.

I agree. We need noob battles where somehow everyone is forced to play with lvl 1 skills and militia gear, randomly assigned to squads. Its tough to learn the game when your moslty just laying there wondering what hit you. |

Coolest thing I've seen was playing a round of OMS with two buddies and a single lone red dot comes in. Rather than shoot we pull our nanohives and swarm him. Two go down and one of our dudes gets him.
So about a min later pur squad is messing around the back of the map and this red dot appear. Carrying a nanohive and challenging us to box with him.
So we all have some great 1v1 Nanohiive boxing rounds. This friends is the sport of real gentlemen. |

No, but in all seriousness kudoes to you guys for that gesture... Thats a really cool thing to do for a new player and how you make friends.
I totally agree that there needs to be a lot more newb friendliness to keep people from ragequitting ans badmouthing DUST to their friends... |

I was in the squad. It was really sad. He emptied 4 whole clips of his scrambler pistol and never hit me once. We were just chasing him around trying to give him the tank. He had it for about a minute and then the match ended. A share button or pvr would have been great for this moment. |

Dust is not for the casual player and when I hear CCP trying to target that audience I laugh. Nothing about dust is casual and every bit of it is for a hard core audience. CCP needs to just except it and target the FPS players who are craving for more then just a pointless match. |

Front lines isn't my thing in this game. But I see new berries getting slaughter, BUT not giving up. I jump in the front with them. I call lavs for them. Throw out more spawn (then I usually do) For them to either escape or flank. If they are putting an effort but getting slapped by obvious better gear. I'm gonna try and give them a hand. |

But what about us mmo guys who want more than lightning bolts and swords? That's the issue. This game cannot appeal to only hardcore fps players.. |
