I hate those bloody console casuals as much as the next guy, but we will have to deal with them eventually. How can we guarantee none of those skrublords stay around for very long?

Start by showing them.....

How team-based it is
How auto aim can  ;D be used in-game
Introduce them to main game: -  Lobbies of Icarus.
Repeatedly show them how much fun it is to work as a Cog in a machine.
Tell them how superior the PC is to Consoles at every chance we get.
Do not tell them how 0p Chemspray is.

Just a few thoughts on how we can turn them away in the hundreds.

I don't want to "stave off" console players. I want them to increase our player base, and learn how a game can involve communication, cooperation, and coordination.

I hope a fool's hope that console players can improve as human beings... :-[

Bring back the long range meta.
I never could accurately aim with a game pad, and I know most console shooters rely on auto aim. I hope muse doesn't add auto aim to this game especially for the long range shot drop guns. I am looking forward to the console influx if only to reply to the question of "how did you make that shot?" with "I use a mouse and can do ballistic calculations in my head."

But we need the player base. I would hate for a rumor to be spread about the GOIO community being venomous towards new players. If we drive off the ps4 players they will spread word to their friends, possibly costing us pc players.

Good kek, +1

But we need the player base. I would hate for a rumor to be spread about the GOIO community being venomous towards new players. If we drive off the ps4 players they will spread word to their friends, possibly costing us pc players.



This is partially flawed logic, I think. Large population don't make a game good, but a good game creates a large population. We need a good game. Look how many players have bought GOIO, something around 250,000 if I remember correctly. Current playerbase is like a few thousand.
If the problem of GOIO could be solved the way you think, every sale would leave more people in community than before. But that's not happening. We have a spike and quick drop to pre-sale level. The console release can only make things worse* because of the different nature of controlers and a different mindset of console players, where many games are more solo-focused and, no offence, easier to learn**.

*I'm talking about player experience, of course. I assume that Muse 'doesn't' want to just cash in wherever they can

**try comparing 'any' console shooter to CS:GO #csgomastergame



Tell them munker is OP and see them die in their own mines.
