I was searching youtube for Dust 514 videos and I came across one where the guy is a new player trying out Dust for the first time: http://youtu.be/x_yuJ-I4N9M
Numerous times throughout the video he comments/complains how complicated the game is and how many things he has to do just to start a game, as he wanted to just turn it on and jump right in. He further complains about the loading times, the "pointless" warbarge, the complicated process to find friends, how bad and complicated the sensitivity is, how long it takes to kill someone, how frustrating the LAV is to drive and that due to the complexity of the game that all he knows how to do is spawn LAVs, that its really confusing and he doesn't know the point of the game and just how complicated the game is (did I state how much he thought the game was complicated). The rest of the video is of him running around trying to kill people, complaining that he can't find his KD and that it takes forever to kill someone.
The fact is this exemplifies the struggle new players, especially ones who are used to CoD and Battlefield are going to have when starting Dust. Which is ****** up because the future of this game depends on it's growth, we can't survive on just the hardcore players. Yes, I think it's sad this guy can't comprehend the game as it's easy to grasp, but he's a perfect example of what the average FPS player will be like. Further, if more of these type of videos come out, it will make it harder for us to convince people to come and try Dust.
What are your thoughts on how we can increase the playerbase and get the word out there about Dust? I know one major problem is we don't have a presence on Twitch.tv, if we could get a few streamers on there showing how awesome this game is it will help immensely not mention that it could bring us to the attention of the esports community.

But unfortunately this is an epidemic perpetuated by lonewolf games like CoD. Most of these type of players coming into Dust try fighting on their own, and when they get annihilated they get frustrated, rage and make videos like the one I posted above.
Don't forget this kid complained about all the reading he had to do. I guess it would kill him to read, but then again look at most of America who are allergic to education and commonsense.
My only question is how hard can it be to think, I guess it really does hurt to use one's brain.
Argh, this is quite frustrating.

I am American, and how am I being racist, I'm stating a fact, the education system in this country is quite lacking. furthermore the dropout rate of students as well as the abysmal grades students get are quite high. I'm not attacking them but rather stating a fact, one that scares me. |

Aim for the name!
I never said that all FPS players are like this, I'm pointing out how some players will react to a game that is vastly different then most FPS games, and that as a result of this negative reaction they will post videos like this, comment negatively and overall hurt the progression of the game. |

Edit for maken. Why would you defend someone who clearly made a derogatory statement about a nation of people over the words he chose to call him out with? Thats just sad.
It's not a defense. It's an obvious error in grammar that people seem to use. The proper term he should have used would have been just simply "bigot" or "nationalist". But since the person went the extra mile and said "racist bigot" the meaning of the message changed. I don't like being a grammar **** either, but when it comes to touchy subjects like this, people should know better. The only thing that offends me more than seeing someone call me a wet back is seeing someone fail as calling me a wet back the wrong way. If that person wants to offend me, they better do it right. well man, i would be just as upset by someone calling you a ******* as that guy calling me, my family, and friends "allergic to education"
I never intended this to be a derogatory remark, I never intended to hurt anyone. If it was taken in that manner then I'm sorry. I wasn't personally attacking you nor your family. I made an ill stated remark, that I shouldn't have been said. You can judge me however you want, as no matter what I say now it will be scrutinized and most likely not accepted.
All this thread was for was a discussion about how negative videos and commentaries could impact Dust, but it went in a horribly wrong direction. As I said I'm sorry if I offended anyone or hurt anyone, but as I realize this most likely will not be accepted so please take it however you want. |
