My 16 yr old son laughs at this game....

My 23 yr old nephew and 5 of his friends tried it, now when I log on they're all on GTAV...

Even though my corp is good and I provide 1500wp per match, they seldom even give me as much as a ****/ng "Hello" or "Thanks" when I'm on....

Tried starting my own corp (many times), but all I get are more f'ing questions than members....and when I do get members, they don't actually play the game....at all....

I have hundreds of millions of isk and would like to do PC but can't find 15 other people who I can trust...I'd give it to my corp, but they'd have to give me a "Thanks" and I don't think they know how to do that outside of the same 20 people that are always on even though they have hundreds of members....and they act like a high school click instead of adults...I stopped talking about my d/ck n' balls about 16 years ago....

I'm just frustrated and needed to vent...

but like I said...I don't know 1 person in real life who plays this game....

anyone else....??

DUST Fiend OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 6874	Posted - 2013.10.11 15:16:00 - [3] - Quote The couple people I managed to talk into playing the game either straight up hate it, or haven't played in months now. You're welcome to donate some of that ISK to my Dropship / HAV fund though, please and thank you.
Ploo-Koon Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 232	Posted - 2013.10.11 15:20:00 - [4] - Quote I know 2 people who play it but honestly, you've got to really be into this kind of game play to like it. It takes a lot of hard work to overcome the issues in this game, especially if you came from playing something as easy as CoD or GTA. Also, there are plenty of good, adult corps out there. Do some research with some alts.

The only reason you and I are still here( and anyone else for that matter) is that we see the potential of this game and therefore we are still waiting for that potential to be reached. But the truth is, it might never reach that goal, less and less people are playing this game as the months pass. Hell even CEOPyrex a CCP fanboy has begun to beg people to keep on playing Dust514 in his videos. PS: Can I haz iskis please?

Mass Heals Subsonic Synthetics 88	Posted - 2013.10.11 15:41:00 - [9] - Quote I play with 3 real life friends, most of the time in the same room together. I have recruited 7 more who have made characters collecting passive. I hope they come back for future updates. It's really easy to sell. You: Hey you have a ps3? Them: Yeah..? You: Download this F2P game, try it out, if you hate it come back in 6 months. It's always changing and you'll have collected a lot of skill to improve upon. You should team up in a squad with me. See if I can get you loving dust again. **** people = **** gameplay.

Hmmm lets see our CEO is kinda young at 35 or so and we talk about motorcycles, quad turbos, etc. Or we talk about home theater and the best places to buy guns at good prices or whats the best car show event to see booth babes or we talk about what movies are good and those that are worthless. Now I have to go check with my Son to see what type of screen material for that birthday projector. And the wife is makeing noises about a 92 inch HDTV.
Iskandar Zul Karnain Hellstorm Inc League of Infamy 1967	Posted - 2013.10.11 16:34:00 - [13] - Quote Hellstorm is recruiting. PM in game and you can run with us to see what we're about.
RECON BY FIRE Internal Rebellion 275	Posted - 2013.10.11 16:57:00 - [14] - Quote I know one person IRL who played the game, but no one who plays it. He simply couldn't deal with the constant grind for SP and really I cant blame him. If I hadn't been playing since closed beta (and if I wasn't a former EVE player) I probably wouldn't stick with this game either. Who wants to come into this with a half million SP and go get gang banged by 20 mil+ SP squads?
Tectonic Fusion The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 335	Posted - 2013.10.11 17:03:00 - [15] - Quote Funny. I know about 8 people who play it in real life.

The other friend, just doesn't want to because he's busy playing PC (not planetary conquest) games Ps. Would you like to help a hobo dropship pilot?

Justice Prevails Tronhadar Free Guard Minmatar Republic 29	Posted - 2013.10.11 17:22:00 - [18] - Quote I keep telling people about it but no one listens. My son is more of a pc gamer with minecraft and steam games. I'm 40 and everyone else I know is too busy or has an xbox. I have time because I'm settled career wise and rest of family has their own thing. The game keeps me from thinking about my impending midlife crisis.
Drapedup Drippedout G.U.T.Z 31	Posted - 2013.10.11 17:31:00 - [19] - Quote If you're looking for a corp that can offer fun, engaging squads then apply to G.U.T.Z; we have a core group of about 20 who take it pretty seriously, and then 30 more or so that just enjoy playing a F2P game. Pretty laidback group, if you'd be interested hit me up in game. Ps, I am taking donations cause I'm broke as ****!
Blazin Dank 420 Special Task Group 28	Posted - 2013.10.11 17:41:00 - [20] - Quote I got 5 people to actually download and play. Only one still enjoys the game and the other guy occasionally plays. The rest quit day one or day two. Personally I'm over the grind. Don't care, just wasting time until Nov 15th. No more money to DUST, don't care about capping or even the daily bonus. I'll log in when I'm bored, play a few rounds them go do something else. Might check it out if it ever comes to ps4 though I'll probably have to wait until the ps6. I'd love to see a big ass open world and integrated with eve version with PvE and PvP on a next gen but more than likely by the time they get around to that Destiny and The Division will have launched and left DUST 514 in the dust saying "soon, don't worry, soon we will get vehicles fixed and all the racial dropsuits/weapons ready. Soon, please buy more AUR."

Rogatien Merc Red Star. EoN. 1441	Posted - 2013.10.11 17:44:00 - [21] - Quote Most of my social circle has long-since 'beaten' pub matches and there's not even a reason to talk during them if you're in a squad 99% of the time - run adv/proto, kill things, do your job, mission complete. "Anybody got ammo?" match over. Most just hang out in public channels on voice comms or semi-AFK the game while they're doing other **** and cba to get on voice. A lot of the people I see logged in are wandering around in a daze of FFXIV-GTA-BF4-fueled angst... it doesn't put anybody in a good mood and people are tired of the same negative talk in squads and there isn't much more to learn about this game lol... a lot of people are just trudging along collecting their daily bonus and maybe capping out, sticking around due to blatant Pavlovian addiction or just for the sake of New Eden Dreams... capping out they can do faster solo since they don't have to compete with decent squadmates for kills / WP and don't have to wait for squad leaders to drop. FW folks are very social though; been kind of a nice relaxing and hanging out with the good folks in PIE and finding new purpose in life helping Amarr stomp the Rust out of the universe :-)

Now I have to go check with my Son to see what type of screen material for that birthday projector. And the wife is makeing noises about a 92 inch HDTV. I play on an 11ft wall, don't worry about material, look up black widow paint on avforums.com and read the guide "properly" it talks about the colour temperature of the room, when you buy material it doesn't take into account paint on the walls, soft lighting, reflective surfaces. If you do this properly you get a stunning result and quite a stealthy av room. Anyhoo back on topic..

I play almost everyday late at night in Mountain time (whatever that is in universal...) and always looking to squad up with other decent players. I'd tell you to join my Corp but no one is active lately :(. (I mean join my Corp cough cough)

Powerh8er Norwegian Dust514 Corporation Top Men. 112	Posted - 2013.10.11 23:32:00 - [31] - Quote Most of the playerbase in dust514 are mature gamers who grew up with games that were challenging, gamers today grow up with games that are not very challenging and are purely meant to sell to as many people as possible, dust514 scares them away with its 'indeepthness'. Thats my theory.
Michael Arck Anubis Prime Syndicate 1453	Posted - 2013.10.11 23:39:00 - [32] - Quote Yea my friends don't play this either. They all COD quick scoping dudes. I invited them over for drinks and played some rounds of Dust, looking to ensnare them into the world... They were looking at the screen like I just showed them a algorithm. Plus Dust will put its metal boot knee deep into your buttocks and that don't sit well with the majority who is used to being kings in other FPS titles. It's a ego check for sure. I have since come to the realization that Dust is a very niche game that will appeal to a core audience.
DJINN leukoplast Hellstorm Inc League of Infamy 1398	Posted - 2013.10.11 23:40:00 - [33] - Quote Talked to one guy in a college class of mine, and he said he tried it but was too confused on the whole skill system, and quickly gave up on the game. He actually did the same thing I did when i first started playing. I remember the first few days in the game I had seen these tanks that were absolutely beast, so I went to the market and tried to get one, realized I needed some skills, and went upgrading. Well, even with all the upgrades I still couldn't use the tank, and ended up wasting tons of SP. It was even worse when I realized I couldn't get my SP back from skills. If it wasn't for Punisher (Hellstorm Merc at the time) taking me in and giving me a crap-ton of tips on how to utilize the skill system to the full benefit, I might have left the game pretty quickly too.

Beside that I mentioned this game in a few places, so some people may don't like me now more than ever .
