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. 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.. Well lets hope they have good marketing because I have personally shown dust to 7 rl friends of mine which are casual gamers and its just too much for them or they just want to push a button and play a match with a simple amount of weapons. For anyone to get a grip on this game you have to invest a lot of time and effort into it. MMO players have no problem doing this because thats what they have been doing anyway. It's the casual fps players that are not showing up and staying.
Byozuma Kegawa The Tritan Industries RISE of LEGION 2	Posted - 2013.05.05 00:32:00 - [32] - Quote Noc Tempre wrote: 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 he declined with this response: "I don't play often enough to matter" It broke my heart that this is how new players feel. Honestly, I can relate to that poor guy. I don't like to leave a match I'm in just cause things are going south. Makes the time I'd devoted to the match seem a waste. I'd probably have never joined a corp, either, if someone I knew from ACV hadn't invited me. And yes, I am a casual player. I don't play for the 'srs bsns', I play to have a bit of mindless fun. I'm going to miss the fun part when friendly fire goes live...

Let me get this straight.... you have a lightning bolt sword... where the **** is that skill?

Nothing but DCUO clans on there. and they probably think they are the best. Any SOCOM elite clans playing dust?" I told there are some mag players. They didn't think so.

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. What kills me is he was made to feel so worthless that he didn't think he was worth simply socializing with.

Did you tell them about the SVER truebloods? lol It was under "some". But yeah I did. And couple others. Don't think they believe me. "You got planet side 2. And a boat load of FPS AND TEAM FPS out there. Why would they pick dust?" I think is what they would ask.

Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 1324	Posted - 2013.05.05 02:45:00 - [46] - Quote I hate to be the guy that starts something like this, but could the response be a reference to the way imperfects tend to act on the forums? You know, the whole "if you aren't us, you're a nonfactor" campaign.
William HBonney Imperfects Negative-Feedback 329	Posted - 2013.05.05 03:02:00 - [47] - Quote I doubt a new guy would be on the forums, and if anyone has played with myself or doc they will let you know we are in fact the coolest most helpful people on dust to play with, why you may ask? Because we care.
VirtualxBucaneer Chatelain Rapid Response Gallente Federation 46	Posted - 2013.05.05 03:04:00 - [48] - Quote I think this is going to be pretty normal in high sec battles. COD players and the Casual audience mostly are going to be playing in that mode.

You will stop this "FUN" business right now and go back to crushing the souls of newbies. Come on, bro. Open up your eyes to the fact that DUST can be a fun game for everyone. Show your Brightside.
DigiOps DUST University Ivy League 179	Posted - 2013.05.05 03:14:00 - [50] - Quote I wonder how many newbies even know how to get to the forums and log in to utilize it... BTdubs, fun match the other day Will. Not a particularly good one of mine, but that's what I get for soloing and getting sloppy.

Noc Tempre Imperfects Negative-Feedback 1433	Posted - 2013.05.05 21:51:00 - [51] - Quote Another story - pick up a random blue dot, and work really hard to help him stay alive and work towards objectives. This is actually really fun and caused him to dig out his mic. When he turned it on, he disconnected, and we weren't able to get him to rejoin our squad. Another lost blueberry soul
Zyrus Amalomyn Militaires-Sans-Frontieres 99	Posted - 2013.05.05 21:53:00 - [52] - Quote This is not a casual game, and CODers know it.

That is the saddest Dust related story I have ever heard... ='( Props for trying to show him a good time. We are all here to have fun, and getting proto romped when you are solo against a whole squad is disheartening even for hardened vets. Respect.

Those are the kinds of people I pull into my squad in Planetside 2 when I see them getting killed over and over by themselves so I can help them have some fun.
