I have been a long time supporter of Dust and CCPs effort to produce something unique with the game. That said Dust has a long way to go before it will feel like it is complete, just as Eve did when it first started. I do feel that the game needs some serious large scale upgrades that can be found in my many other posts. I have watched the forums and seen the same kinds of comments after each patch, QQ this QQ that and realize that nothing will ever be as everyone is expecting ever when patch day hits. I support telling CCP if something is broken, all I ask is that others do too.
Of course I also pay for my Eve time so as the game is more fully developed I have been enjoying it more than playing Dust. There is a stark contrast between the two games that is about as wide as the Pacific Ocean and it is time for that to change. One Universe // One War was a big add campaign that although it was vague it advertised something that I feel wasn't delivered upon. Namely any feeling that the two universes were linked in anything other than comms. We have an NPC market, can't trade goods and have a marginal interaction with Eve Players when calling down OBs in PC battles if someone is around to drop the OB, other wise it still comes down in a slightly weaker form which is indistinguishable from the real thing when you are laying on the ground dead.
I remember watching the E3 trailer and thinking oh wow that game looks cool. I still want to play that game, a far different one than what we have now. Perhaps it is in the works but it seems like that was an open world full of emergent gameplay in which interaction with eve players meant the ability to work together, to trade goods and services as well as being able to walk around on stations with other players (not stuck in your quarters) and actually do something other than just find a Lobby Game. That is the game I want to play. This one is broken far too often for it to be "finished enough for consumption" other than in the form more commonly referred to as a Beta.
Think what you will, I still want Dust to succeed but feel there is no progress being made, with 2 steps forward and 1 step back each time it is patched. I am patient and want this to succeed as intended, not as a remake of Call of Duty. |
