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.

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.

There's even a kill streak mechanism where overpowers you guy the more you kill. Sort of like the specialist kill streak in MW3. They did this in Battlefield: Modern Combat too. It was dumb then and it's dumb now.

CHICAGOCUBS4EVER TeamPlayers EoN. 1828	Posted - 2013.10.02 14:57:00 - [39] - Quote unfortunately I don't think anything will completely 'kill' this game except the plug being pulled. It is tied to EVE which has a large customer base. It is also F2P which will ALWAYS cater to a small population cause, well , its free. and for a FREE game its not horrible... its just you will see complete different faces, those that stick it out that never got their moment in the sun will have it. We've been seeing this for months and it shall continue. the biggest downside is, the strong, competitive play that vets and those that were on the receiving end day in and day out are what will disappear. The talented players have largely been chased away or lured to other games. I mean no offense to anyone but that's really what it boils down to. the day is rapidly approaching that devs will play on their main character in pubs without worrying about getting rickrolled by randoms ;P

It was dumb then and it's dumb now. I do not believe that is correct. In BF3 you could assign yourself a perk. Now your squad has to perform to even get a perk. The perks are nothing like Cod. I barely even noticed they were there in BF3. Look up "field upgrades" for BF4 or BF 2142. Dumb as hell. I couldn't be convinced to play BF4. I didn't like BF3. One of the things that kill it for me was squad spawning. Such a terrible mechanic to implement. To each his own Kirby. We will always have MAG Nothing since MAG feels right, but BF is the closest I ever got. I actually like the ability to squad on your squad mates. Man, I miss MAG. The reason despise squad spawn is because it's an abuse in logistics. You take out a whole squad but one guy. He'll hide and those guys just come back. Freaking dumb. At least in MAG, you can only spawn far away from the objective. The same thing sort of happens in Dust at the macro scale. You can defend a planet only to attack another at the other side of MH in just ten minutes. No need to move logistics, but I digress.

Then team games are not for you...bf is the best team game not go around lone wolf I actually prefer team games. Bonuses should not be the insensitive for teamwork. How about, I don't know, winning?

Bethhy Ancient Exiles 152	Posted - 2013.10.02 16:42:00 - [43] - Quote DUST will persist... the population will got through flux as everything would with a console change... When the PS3 came out, the PS2 still had active development running for over a year... being the console with the most games.. Before Sony started taking a loss on each sale of the PS3 people didn't even really start buying them. No doubting this is fresh territory for a couple game developer's who will be doing it.. But is CCP bad at multiplatforming in a hurry? No.. they have done a complete windows OS change and direct x change in a week.. It's really what priority DUST has to the EVE universe that will get us anywhere. And that is the fight I'm sure the DUST developer's and producer team is trying to fight for. Relevance

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 ;( ? Its funny people don't believe players will leave but if your looking for TP we will be in those games Don't see a reason for me to be looking for u guys

RydogV Shadow Company HQ 408	Posted - 2013.10.02 19:34:00 - [46] - Quote As someone who has played Dust 514 since the start of closed beta, here is a post I made in a thread on my online community's website: Quote: From a mechanics standpoint everything seems pretty decent. I loved the new spotting and the ammo loss during a tactical reload adds another great layer to the gameplay...A++ for that. It totally threw me for a loop as I ran out of ammo my first time playing in like 2 min. The gun game is everything I remember from BF3 and controls were solid. I am so used to playing with weapons that have iron sights that I had to drop most optical attachments to hit anything. Crazy right? Overall game play was disappointing for me. I distinctly remember loving the BF3 Beta and playing it more than I ever thought I could on one map/mode. But I did not get that same feeling this time around. I honestly think it is a product of me and not the game. After spending the last 15 months with real risk and reward attached to my gameplay, it was just not fulfilling to die, spawn, repeat with nothing but K/DR to worry about. I would get killed and within a few seconds I am back in the fight either right with my squad mates (easy mode) or someplace else on the map where I could be back in the thick of the fight lickity split. Tanks/chopper/jeep gets blown up? Oh well, another one will spawn in a bit. Sorry but that doesn't cut it for me anymore. It really changed any thought of picking this title up down the road when launch madness dies out. It also makes me nervous for other titles I was looking forward to, like Killzone: Shadow Fall. Anyway fingers crossed. But Battlefield 4 definitely did not make the cut. Too bad.
