They should stay the hell away from MAG. That game had a cult following but it was never "big" I know plenty of r/l friends that I tried to get to play MAG and they walked away an hour later as well, and that was when the game was a year or two old. Think the guy above me hit it on the head "you want it to be like MAG" but its not.
I think the game is anything but dumbed down?? Where are you getting this conclusion? You are saying that new players "4mil SP" will get their ass handed to them, so how is it dumbed down for them....if anything is more difficult.
I had no issue running mlt fits with 0 skills on my first couple games in the new build....and this was against proto users. Granted they made the aiming quite "heavy" similar to killzone, but not quite. It was easily adjusted to after an hour or so of gaming, but they should have tweaked the sensitivity upward, rather than down. Allowing for more freedom for high and low sensitivity players.
Input lag is horrendous right now, and that should be a priority, surprised you didnt say anything about that, as it is a real big issue. Hitting L2 for a nade and 2 seconds later it comes up.......not good.
I am worried they put too many SP sinks into the skilling system however, the time investment into DUST is 2 or 3 higher than in EVE for SP gains and unlocks. People like to unlock new **** on a constant basis, its that instant gratification. They need to tweak it so the adv and prototype is more difficult to get into, but to try out new things doesn't require such a high investment. In EVE I can try out all the different racial variants of the frigs in a matter of hours. In dust that will take months and months.
If anything CCP has increased the barrier to entry rather than dumbed down the gameplay. Plus, this is still a BETA. They have a week to fix issues and thats exactly the reason we got this build when we did, its no coincidence. So speak up on the feedback forum with specifics on what could be better, rather than ranting about vague mechanics it in general discussion. |
