Okay yes I posted this the other day, but I hope to now go into further detail about how much Dust sucks because of one thing.

Lack of teamwork.

Been playing Dust off and on since the early beta days. And I've noticed that people play this game exactly like CoD or Battlefield.
Run and gun and don't help ANYONE unless it directly benefits you. I realize that's why I hate this game.


"Get a corp" : Corps don't help, I've been in them. And every time I try to take the role of squad leader and do some real PTFO'ing, people bi*** at me because I sound bossy. And most corps just mass recruit instead of actually paying any attention to how good a player is or how they act, or if they listen. Happened with 3 of the major corps i was in.

Nanohives, nanoinjectors, repair tools, drop uplinks: Nobody uses them. Every once in a while I might see a nanohive, but that's it. When I die it says "TRIAGE UNIT DETECTED IN THE VICINITY" standing on top of my body shooting at a sniper across the map with a militia SMG. This happens ALL the time, in every game mode. A triage unit will be one foot away and not do anything.
I haven't even seen anyone use a drop uplink yet. Not since I was in corp battles.
Never seen anyone use a repair tool.

General idiocy: Oh my goodness, the amount of sheer stupidity I see in this game is off the charts. I will be pinned down behind a rock with two guys coming at me, my ENTIRE team will be not even 20 yards away, and they pay no attention to the enemy.
How blind or stupid do you have to be to not see someone ONE FOOT in front of you?
Even with me screaming into the microphone "Pinned down, need covering fire." nobody pays any attention.
See a tank? "Oh I better shoot at it with my scrambler pistol. That's sure to kill it!" ...What?

Microphones: Nobody uses them except for me. And when they do use them, it's usually a dog barking, a baby screaming, or a 10 year old "MOOOOOOOOOM, GET ME A GRILLED CHEEEEEESE" followed by them smacking their lips like a stoned horse that hasn't had grass for a week. Oh and of course the random noise generators which produce ear curdling loud noises into your eardrums.

Bad squad leaders: These are the worst. The ones that don't use any squad commands, EVER. Oh wait, that's all of them. Or if they do happen to set a defend order, they do it on themselves then instantly die. or they set it on themselves and charge towards a tank.

For these reasons I have gone lone wolf and have decided to help nobody but myself, if you won't help me, I won't help you. I'm tired of carrying teams single handed. It's gotten so bad I don't even go for objectives anymore. I just counter-snipe. I've never had an even remotely smart squad in a PUB. Never.

There should be some kind of filter for games. One that says "Smart people who can aim, get kills, and use team-work"
and the other that says "For 99.9% of Dust players that can't aim for sh*t, never use teamwork, and go 0/53 every game."


All I'm asking for is for ONE group of people to show me there is hope that I can find smart people on this game. Ones that use mics, teamwork, skill, and nanoinjectors.

"There seems to be no sign of intelligent life on this planet"

1.Simply the people you are playing with.

2.I would like to know what corps you're referring to

How do I get the same type of people over 79 games in a row? 79 losses in a row. 79.

Seventy-Nine.

Don't ever rely on blue berries. You don't have to play the game long to know that, lone wolfing won't do you any better.

I was in Beta-Max, but it was a real mess when I was in it. No offense to what's-her-face. But it was a terrible experience. Total chaos, it was when all the good members of betamax went to imperfects and I couldn't get in imperfects because Zitro hated me.

Was also in STB, which was my only good experience in a corp. But I got kicked out because of someone I won't name here.

There, for people who wanted to know.

I'm starting to go lone wolf because it's futile to try with the mass amounts of dumb players.

I hate to keep beating a dead stoned horse, but Dust players (at least the ones i get on my team every f***ing game) are totally moronic. There's no choice but to play lone wolf.

I guess you can save new berries the trouble by letting them know that Betamax isn't a good start... or finish.

I wouldn't know if they are good now or not honestly. Never going back though.

Spongly, how about right now?

From my experience, when people around me are too dumb to learn, it's because I am not smart enough to teach them. Just saying.

You're saying I should teach 5,000 players how to use teamwork?

Good luck

You're saying I should teach 5,000 players how to use teamwork?

Well, because you said you "TRIED" to teach them but fail thus Dust players are hopeless case.
I disagree.

This also apply to "leading" as well.
If you can't lead someone, you are not smart enough to lead them.
And yes leading stupid people need higher level of intelligent among other things.



EDIT: Oh IWS beat me to it

I'm happy to say that your experience does not equal my own. Even good players make mistakes, and when you're in a game with a bunch of organized squads, remember that they are going to look out for eachother before you. I've been forcibly manhandled by my own team, by a squad, to use me as a meat shield for their own purposes. They're morons, and have made an enemy of me, but in Eve, you are rewarded for such ass-worthy behaviour.

To be fair, when there's a nanite injector right on top of you, but they're not picking you up, they're probably trying to, and game won't let them. When a body slides away from where they died, the heal box is somewhere else, and we're trying to find it.

There is a lot more teamwork in this game than any I've played. It works for you, or overwhelmingly against you.

I never said anything about leading in a corp...

I'm not going to teach every squad, every team, HUNDREDS of players, how to play the game.

I'm a good leader. I would start my own corp of small squads and teach them everything I know if I thought that they would actually learn something.

I taught a guy how to fly a dropship, evasive maneuvers, etc. And he became a better pilot than I am.

You can't teach a new dog old tricks.

I guess you can save new berries the trouble by letting them know that Betamax isn't a good start... or finish.

I said notthing about leading a corp either. Just leading a squad in general or........ simply working with them.

If you can't working with someone, it's because you aren't smart enough to work with them.
I hope you don't deny that it's more constructive than simply condemn other they are too dumb to work with you.
Again, working with stupid people need more intelligent than working with smart people.
