da GAND High-Damage Public Disorder. 253	Posted - 2013.10.02 01:43:00 - [1] - Quote I don't know how many people here will be getting battlefield 4 (BF4) for the ps3 but I'm pretty sure there are plenty of people here from the Battlefield series and MAG that will be getting BF4 will be playing it nonstop for awhile. By the way the open beta for BF4 will be available this friday. Player count will be down for quite some time, possibly months. There have been some that have said that the Last of us or GTA would kill Dust but it didn't, people came back pretty quickly (depending on when they finished those games). However GTA online which is having server issues (i'm sure they'll get it fixed faster than CCP would, srry CCP lost hope for you guys) will probably also have an affect on the player count. So GTA online + Battlefield 4 beta and (officially released at the end of this month) + PS4 (To be released in November)= ? Temporary population loss or Permanent Loss/ Near Death of Dust or slow death of Dust ;( ?
Xocoyol Zaraoul Superior Genetics 1157	Posted - 2013.10.02 01:52:00 - [2] - Quote Given how long I've been in dust (Since the start of closed beta), I'm always amused by how often people push the "dying" card... I'm not saying that DUST won't be effected, because it will due to the competitive nature of a similar (and newer) game... But this is just silly. This entire thread will be the OP replying to posts suiting his mentality and ignoring or posting extreme replies to those opposing. The horde of "I don't play anymore" or "DUST IS DOOMED" players will jump in, then the horde of "White Knights" and "Fan boys" will pile in, with random third-rate trolls taking the cheap shots... All in a thread that has been posted a thousand times before. I think I'm just desensitized to all this hollering and hoopla since it is overused...

I see what you mean , Sony did say they were going to continue supporting the PS3 but I wonder how long they'll continue to do that. And how long it'll take CCP to get this game near where it's suppose to be HERE

Problem is that we don't see the EVE part in Dust and anything that happens in EVE doesn't affect us. Basically Dust 514's biggest strength is very weak, right now it's just another lobby shooter.

Jack McReady DUST University Ivy League 597	Posted - 2013.10.02 12:21:00 - [16] - Quote player count at prime time decreases by around 500 per month steadily from the beginning of "nonbeta" . it did before and it will continue and this is not just because of game X or PS4 or GAT, Dust has serious problems.

BF4 on PS3/360 is a waste of $$$ get it on PC/PS4/Juan 12v12 is just too empty on current gent consoles I know alot of ppl lookin forward to pubbin on it on PS4. As for ur last question, slow death. People will continue leaving as better games come out while dust still struggles to get its **** sorted. CCP has to decide the next move for DUST cuz it srsly has no future on PS3 and within a year the 3000-3500 ppl avg that play will be alot lower.

Probably continue to play Dust 514, at least until I get my PS4, and depending on what Dust is like at that time will determine whether I will continue to devote part of my time to the game (i.e. reaching the cap) or not.

Temporary population loss or Permanent Loss/ Near Death of Dust or slow death of Dust ;( ? Human beings are cognative misers. There are so many people on planet earth, you literally can't even imagine. Human beings have a a top numerical social cognition capacity of about 150 (Dunbars number, look it up). Human beings non-conciously make estimates based on this number. Its the same with distance and large values. The larger the number the less real and the more abstract it becomes. Sure you can say "I can see 5000 people", but when you try to imagine it all you really imagine is one large crowd, because you know what a crowd looks like. You can count to 5000 and imagine faces but you will get bored and tired before you finish. Intrestingly there is actually a point where, when percieving a group of individuals, the mind can't cope and rather than see say, 40000 individuals in a football stadium, the mind has to percieve it as a large group, of course we can always focus our attention on an individual or a small group. In short; don't worry about it because your non conciously mis-estimating the effect on the population.

In few weeks that place is going to be Battlefield 4. Ones all the Competitive players leave, is not going to be any reason to carry on playing Dust 514.
