Yes, DUST is not, strictly speaking, EVE Online. However, they are in the same universe, and they are liked, as games. The general theory behind the two games are similar (do what you want, even scam, without any official punishment), and the general structure of the equipment is similar.
This suggests that any mechanics should be similar (not the same), such as damage modifiers, spying mechanics, PC, etc. Now, this isn't to say that the game is perfect at its current stage, but EVE players do know more in-depth of how these things work in Eve online, and therefore in New Eden, and therefore how they should work in DUST 514. Not all of us EVE players abhor FPS's, and have actually played a few in the past.
We can all agree that the controls and some mechanics leave something to be desired, as well as some weapons balance. However, with regards to other in-game mechanics, such as vehicle balance or shield/armor, EVE players have more of a say than CoD or BF users. simply because they have more experience dealing with customising and optimising it. ROFL.....EVE online gamers have NOT idea of how things work in a FPS game... the balance problems we have right now, are DIRECTLY connected, with trying to make Dust 514 "Feel" like EvE online... You won't have a "Painter", trying to compose a beautiful, musical masterpiece ? right ?
Terrible analogy. It's more like a cubist switching to late modernist.
Anyway, which balance problems are you talking about?
HAVs feeling weak?
HMGs hitting like wet noodles?
Dropships being absolute garbage?
Sharpshooter nerf?
Caldari Logi suits?
Seriously, I'd like to know which problems EVE players can "DIRECTLY" be connected to. Also, I can just as easily say people who don't play EVE have no idea how things work in New Eden and are trying to make Dust feel like a COD or BF clone.

It's 2013 and this POS shooter gets stuck on F'ing terrain. Are you serious? What good is weapons diversity if half are rendered useless every other build release?
CoD and BF might suck, but they got the most important thing right and haven't bent over backwards to ruin it - Game Mechanics.
Keep your childish lore. I want a functioning game to spend my money on. Not a bunch of Mother Goose stories and nerfherder wannabes affecting how I simulate shooting.
Show me where EVE players asked for bad gun mechanics. I would like to know who these people are. |
