HOC... here take some kool-aid I just made it. sit down and relax. Besides the fact that it looks like your about to jump off a building, I sorta get where your coming from. I get it. But here's what I come to learn......
EVE IS IN THE TITLE. IT"S AN EVE GAME.
I'm a FPS player. Don't give a rats ass about eve. Is dust going to revolutionize the FPS genre? NO. But we all know that. Why? cause EVE itself didn't revolutionize the mmo genre as much as it wishes it could. It's a niche game. which has a good fanbase, still niche. Dust will be niche too.
Revolution? that's what my ladies that play mmo are calling this game called ARCHAGE. They won't stop harping in my ear to try it when it comes out. but me play an mmo? hahahaha.
I see the path dust want's to take. not probably what ccp first intended. I think dust being NICHE, wasn't what they were going for. But CCP does Niche.
Dust is going to create another pocket in FPS. but not revolutionize it. And another option for your FPS craving is not a bad thing. |

To me Dust is an FPS shooter set in the New Eden universe. It is not and shouldn't be an Eve FPS. It's a small distinction, but a very important one.
Hm.. I willing to bet that a lot of eve players feel the same. me? I'm just a merc who loves shooting other mercs. I grind to build my awesome suit. (to which the ladies adore) and I build my suit to kill more mercs. endless cycle of violence really... but I wouldn't have it any other way.  |

From Joelleaveek "Well right now its really just a series of public matches that have little to no impact on anything. Each match pays some and some SP based on how many warpoints you earn in the match. You earn war points for kills, capturing, destroying enemy vehicles, team resupplies, etc.
The biggest problem, imo is that its terribly grindy. All the skills are massive sp sinks, and if you do good you can earn 4-7 thousand SP in a match and maybe 200-300 thousand isk. which is usually just enough to cover your losses if you are using basic gear. you do also earn passive SP but not at a terribly good rate. This system is all in place to encourage you to use real money on passive and active SP boosters, which is ok imo, but i just wish the earning potential was a little better and all that every single weapon didn't have massive SP sinks to make it truly shine.
Its also worth noting that the active/passive SP system encourages players to AFK entire matches since there is still a potential to earn 3-4k SP no matter how your team does."
Wow.. she's (or he  ) got a good picture of how dust is. glad to know eve players also are aware of dust current stagnant self. |
