To me it seems like CCP has two groups of developers or something, and they are both trying to do opposite things.
One group at CCP decided to do a normal gear system. You skill into things to unlock the ability to use gear, and then you can choose how you want to fit it. There are advantages and disadvantages to most choices, and there are limiting factors like PG and CPU that force players choose what they would like to fit. The other group seems to want to do a MMO leveling system, like what is in World of Warcraft. You do stuff to gain XP/have it awarded to you for logging in once a year (passive sp). You spend your XP on skills to get better, and with each "level up" you get things like higher damage (proficiency skills) more HP (shield control/field mechanics) etc, etc. The difference is that Dust calls XP SP.
With the MMO World of Warcraft (and possibly EVE?) leveling system, there's no way for CCP to balance anything, and should not even bother to try for more than the top tier. For some reason, CCP is trying to balance a weapon on a lvl 100 character to make it so that it is almost the same on a lvl 1 character. It's not going to happen.
This game feels like a typical MMO grind, and that is because it is. |

I say NO!! The fact that it takes more SP now to do things means we need to specialize in areas and learn to focus what we want rather than have our skills all willy nilly over the place and be a heavy one minute and a scout the next.
I say "NO" to only 5k players playing. Actually it went down to 3-4k now, right? Maybe they'll be able to get it back to 5k this weekend.
Trying to do a MMO grinding system with a FPS game does not look like it can work. I do not understand why the game cannot have a FPS skill system, and still keep all of the MMO elements it already has while continuing to add more. It might be because I haven't played MMORPGs in years.
I would like it if CCP just came out and said, "We're going MMORPG all the way with FPS elements" or "we want to make a game for FPS players while adding a lot of MMORPG in it".
Sure, I hope that CCP will make it fun for console FPS gamers like myself, but ATM it looks like CCP does not want to go that way. If they are going for a MMORPG grind + lvl game, I'm sure many will like it, but it's not a game for me. |

and @ some of the other guys commenting, I have no idea why ppl say corps like PFBHz want to make it so that we control all proto gear and no once else can reach our level of gear.
It's just the opposite. ATM with such a small player base and a huge level and gear gap it's going to take a long time to get new players to a point where they can play the game, and that's only if they stay.
This is going to sound like a troll comment, but it's not. I have not seen any skilled players asking CCP to keep the XP lvl and gear high so it's hard for new players to get to the same level of play. There's maybe a thousand or couple hundred terrible players who got some XP, lvld up and got better gear so they can beat new players posting on forums. CCP said a large number of people downloaded the DUST 514 client. Why not ask the guys who deleted DUST 514 soon after about what CCP can do to make the game better? |

Maybe PC and the Marketplace will provide some depth. There's not enough to take anyone in. There's over 16x more people on BF3 than are on Dust atm. You do not want to hear about the # of players in peak times for both. The difference is gameplay and a MMO grinding system. PC is needed.
Marketplace would help too.
Friend: It says F2P. Every P2W game also says F2P.
Me: CCP said they'll put in a marketplace so you can buy everything with ISK too.
Friend: And how long has CCP been saying that for?
Me: ... years.
Friend: They let you trade items at least?
Me: No.
Friend: lolololololololol |
