I understand the road map and the proposed longevity of this game, which I am behind 100%.
I can understand how people don't feel too rewarded for playing, especially those who make the comparison
between ISK gains whilst AFK vs playing in a battle.
I wouldn't want to unlock everything in a couple of weeks but most people don't have the patience and don't want
an FPS to be a grind-fest, which I also understand.
The problem is that I guess, as well as DUST following EVE in having a large skillset (to say the least) CCP want it
to take ages to unlock everything but people don't have the patience.
I know CCP want DUST to be complex and deep like EVE and perhaps fear that once people unlock everything, they will have nothing to play for. But here's the thing. Many FPS games aren't complicated, people still play them. Because they're fun.
Make your core game addictive and people won't care about unlocking a new gun because they're happy with what they've got. Games don't need to change to be consistently fun.
But how do you win? You want to try something different, don't want to cater to the casuals but that's how a game succeeds these days. I just really don't think the grind model suits an FPS. There is a rift in players which needs to be closed. Unfortunately, if you want your game to succeed commercially and financially you have to compromise.

Gameplay makes da game bruv
innit ;)
Exactly, people don't have to be constantly looking for something new, if they are it means they don't enjoy the game that much.
Don't get me wrong I love the fact that I can unlock so much stuff and there's always new things to unlock.
I just think that there should be a fine balance between catering to the masses and pursuing and individual dream
and CCP seem to have scared too many people away from the grinding; but this is what they want their game to be
to tie in with EVE.
Like I said, you can't win really. although that's where their business model comes into play, slow progression, dedicated fans, slowly increasing the playerbase. but this is a console market and it's an FPS. It doesn't play out how it would on PC being an MMO.
and that, is the DUST problem. |
