There are some people that think Fun = Winning. That is fine, I have no counterarguments to that. To each their own right? If your having fun then do what is fun for you. Everyone deserves to do what makes them happy.
I have come to realize that I don't care about winning. Sure I can go pubstomping with great corps and players but I don't want to feel so limited or restricted. I am not saying that I won't try to win because that is the whole point of a competitive fps but I always seem to have more fun playing with friends. Even if all my friends suck, I rather joke around on the mics with them. I like to squad up with alot of different players and I have gotten to know alot of people. I like teaching new players my secrets and tricks I have learned for different maps. To me my friends are what makes this game fun.
Who has this same mentality as I do? If you have a different opinion feel free to let us know what your idea of fun is. |

One mans fun is another's hell.
Its fun to run people over. Everyone hates to be run over. Its fun to kill people in tanks. Everyone hates tanks. Its fun to nail some one with a well cooked grenade. Every one hates grenades. Super fun to forge gun snipe, and fly in drop ships and to blow up drop ships and tanks and LAVs but from every angle there is going to be some one on the forums craping all over what you consider fun.
To me, this game is fun. A a little frustrating some times but fun enough to play for seven months. So ya |

Lol I have to admit I have a murder taxi and tank killing is a personal hobby of mine. Most blue berries suck at tank killing but I make a living out of it. I will spend an entire match trying to destroy tanks just to make the tanker lose millions of isk. The fact that it helps my team out is just a side bonus. :p
as for forge gun sniping... i tried it... i suck.

Fun to me = Joining a match with whatever suit and weapon I feel like using, and playing however way I please. Unfortunately Dust 514 restricts this type of gameplay by making it penalizing for the user. |

Me, at least in instant battles; it's just a game. Some of my fits are completely for fun- like a minmatar assault set up entirely for superfun, superfast-paced fighting. Has kincats, an SMG and a breach flaylock. |

I dont care about winning, but i do hate dying.
Most fun i have is when i am 1 vs to Many and beating em, but lately there is too much explosive spam to be ale to do what i like doing most, so until this is fixed Dust is not so fun. If you now see 6 guys heading yourway at least 2 got a Massdriver, 3 got Flaylocks and the last one is standing on a hive till yer dead and even if you manage to survive that some Lav nicks your little toe for 10.000 damage.
I have high hopes for 1.4 lol

If there were larger consequences or repercussions of losing then I feel as though all the joking, hand holding, and singing would not make it as fun anymore.
Like no SP's or ISK to the losing team.
I love all the HTFU threads yet we play a fun lobby shooter where win or lose everyone is a winner at the end of every round.
So yes DUST is a fun hang out spot with all our friends and no matter what, win or lose it won't matter we will all have fun.

When killshot broke up my friends were split up into two different corps. Chris, bobby mechanic, and dread enforcer stayed in rogue spades but everyone else went to 187. I didn't really know anyone else and I was not good at making new friends when I missed the old ones. Yes I was annoyed that sometimes people weren't even trying. Squad leaders not using fraggos and ignoring orbitals. If you have it, use it. It helps the team and is a big waste. If a person doesn't like the role of squad leader they shouldn't squad lead but that was only a minor annoyance. The majority of my friends had gone to another corp and eventually i decided to go join them.
But I left 187 a month ago due to some drama with the leadership. Thats a whole other story completely. |

It's easiest to have fun when you doesn't care about winning or losing and when you doesn't care about losing Fittings.
Just put out the best fighting you can and enjoy the game whether the results. Good deaths are as enjoyable as good kills and stupid deaths are as funny as stupid kills.
Something didn't worked as intended or you are facing a wall? Try something new! Or do it differently. Seek solutions.
If you ever stop to have fun, put the controller down and do something else for a while. Come back when you have the heart for it.

Fun and winning can be 2 different things
Winning is when i deny AV users a tank kill which could also be fun or not depending on the AV
You can win when it isnt fun for you |

Standard stomping is alot more fulfilling than proto stomping. I love destroying proto gear but I love destroying aurum and officer gear even more. Even if I am outmatched and die 15 times and get 10 kills, I will know that I had fun destroying a tank or officer gear. I will make sure they dont profit. If I really cared that much about stomping then I would not have joined 187.. A smaller corp, underdogs, and no alliance to back them. They did get an alliance later on but I had alot of other choices. But I left 187 a month ago due to some drama with the leadership. Thats a whole other story completely.
I understand that. in the words of my corp mates "we casual". |

having a 5.0 kdr and your a sniper... if no one knew you were a sniper they might be fooled into thinking your a pro ar user... A game as complex needs complex statistics. Every weapon has its pro's and con's and affects people differently. |

Yeah that would be pretty good actually, or an Accuracy statistic / Headshot Ratio. |
