I personally want to get more people on Dust 514, but I cannot seem to convince some of my illiterate friends to join due to the complexity of the game. I do know that EVE Online has a stable, decent playerbase. But Dust is a FPS and the regular FPS audience wants something more of quick-paced action.
Actually, it may seem that the number of females may be growing. I'm sure that some guys do play female avatars and that would bring in more female players. But I think this game appeals to women because of the female suits and that it's more cooperative than the ego-shooter lone wolf COD. Dust 514 is doing a good job of that, but I think maybe if they add in more speed and big explosives and nukes, it would make the guys' eyes and balls burst and that will grow the playerbase better. What are your thoughts?
dust is not an FPS
it is FPS like but it is something more .... a hybrid....a melting pot of fps mech mmo and rpg,,,, and it is just a "demo" right now for lack of a better description.... the reason why the eve players are lumped in is because we are all on the same server and as time passes and we are integrated with our eve brothers and sisters those numbers will be more meaningful to dust players. im starting to realize more and more that a lot of people really don't get what this game is....
most of them being the dedicated fps players... some of them get it but most of them eat sleep and poop COD and it will be a reliefe when they quit...
for the rest of us in it for the long haul the real fun begins in about 18 months I predict... unless CCP really effs up or hits an unforeseen snag |

Not everyone who says things need to improve likes Cod. Personally I think CoD is crap.
I didn't mean you personally I mean the general dust population seems to have a COD mentality... if this isn't you great... if you take this statement personally... well... then.... |

Dust is a FPS. I agree that it is more than just FPS, but for the most part it's the main thing. This game is played mainly in first person view. Few 3rd person elements are in the game, but it's in the minority like vehicles and a few other things. I can see what you mean with the "mech mmo and rpg." It probably feels a bit like Chrome Hound, Armored Core, or Valkyrie Chronicles. As of late, many regular games are incorporating RPG elements in them such as experience points, levels, and things like that. COD and BF3 have similar systems. Pure RPGs are not phased out yet, but will become indistinguishable. I can also see that Dust 514 has a bit of strategy in it with the map planning and relocations. But overall the meat of the game is FPS.
just wait my friend you will see... as the game develops it will be less fps and more something else.... |

What are your thoughts? number of females on dust 514 growing? How would you figure that? I only know of two women that play Dust, Angel Sunshine, and the second one is in SVer True Blood "Ultimate" something , forgot exactly what her name was
there are a few in my corp as well... but I will not rudely call them out as you have done |
