...So take Dust offline, rebuild it for the PS4, market it as an undeniable improvement from the ps3 version, ???, and profit.


#imsotiredofwonderingwhatif

The platform is orthogonal to all the issues we're facing with DUST. Google the hard words in my previous sentence before replying.

Also a glimpse from software development world: "rewrite" has bigger chance to kill a project, than leaving in on PS3 and letting people like you go play PS4 titles. It can also impact the company and not in a good way. Pulling a game with player base from a platform, to develop it for new platform for **** knows how long is not a viable solution economically, first and foremost. And BS about "saving what's left of DUST reputation" is brain dead. If this game is pulled out then it is no more. There is no game. Reputation is all that is left. And reputation for discontinued products means two things: jack & ****. And in two years, when it's re-released, it's long forgotten, because people have moved on. Also two years without user feedback and bug reports. Great idea.

Look at those numbers that were nearly twice as high during Chromosome, compared to recent numbers in Uprising.

orthogonal
A word used by the tech-savvy to sound smarter than they really are.

More specifically:

A math term that means perpendicular, but not just in 2D but in any dimension. Now commonly used to indicate an idea or concept that stands apart so much from everything else that it "sticks out," is "from left field," or is "third-way."
"I have this co-worker who keeps using the word 'orthogonal,' usually after he mentions some idea he thinks is God's gift to man. Can't wait to get this word into my vocab. Soon as I figure out what it means." - Urban Dictionary

Anyway, where do I begin? "It's long forgotten" Yeah, no. You do not know that. FFXIV proves otherwise. Also, i'm not suggesting the completely discontinue the game. I'm suggesting a rebirth, unless CCP has a trick up their sleeve to get rid of the negative stigma they've created for themselves. I highly doubt the latter.

And the whole thing about 2-3 years without user feedback and bug reports? Easily remedied with PS4/PSN developer friendly patching/QA system. You want to know the hard truth?

A tiny player base's opinions are not a suitable substitute for competent developers. I'm talking, CCP Shanghai needs a total overhaul. Just like Square Enix did.

FFXIV is the sequel to FFXIV ARR and lets be honest, its the first successful sequel to an FF game in a long time.

Please explain to me how FFXIV is a "sequel" to ARR don't you mean prequel.... unless you have your titles backwards...

something else they should do is allow a one time respec per character you have rather them setting a timeline and saying if you missed it or started playing the game after the last one did well to bad. I just do not understand why you cant get one respec so you can undo mistake you did when you first stated the game. I just feel like they have no idea what they are doing. I feel like anyone could do a better job running this game then ccp is doing now

Edit: One Idea for the repsec is to reward players for playing the game, base it on life time skill points. Set Milestones i.e when you get to 15 Million lifetime sp you have the choice to respec if you want it and go from there.

But most importantly, taking dust offline and then moving dust to the ps4 will give you guys room to screw up without ruining the games reputation.

What if.... A real FPS company could have done the dev work in making this game? CCP could have integrated the EVE and racial lines, but the heart of the game was run my a professional dev company like dice, for example? what could have been has since past.

Just take it from a person who has witnessed me play this game since february of chrome. My roomate's words "I don't understand how a game could have so much potential and poise with an awesome idea, yet take 5 steps backwards every time they try to improve the game." That is a quote that sums up dust and it's dev history in a pretty accurate way.

If anyone thinks this game will grow with the current state of there end game, their bat SH!t stupid

Let me tell you alittle story: so this Friday my corp had a PC

So I sent a ticket in with these videos and this is what they basically said.

Because you don't have players in the attackers Server location and you are a US&EU mixed corp you are FCUKED

There was no problem with our server at that time so it is YOUR FAULT and we are not obligated to reimburse you

How can you expect to keep a player base when your END GAME FAVORS YOUR SMALLEST PLAYER BASE(aka Asia/Australia)

But if they took Dust offline how would they test it for bugs?

Overhaul CCP's QA department.

Open a beta for players to play-test.

After the official re-release, CCP could still take advantage of the PS4's new developer friendly patching/QA system to squash bugs after release.

Here's the thing.
Players have options. Every FPS mad in the major market works better than DUST.
DUST is beyond broken, and probably should be taken offline and started over.

This is why they have never gotten a dime from me, because the quality of the product is not worth anything.

I have turned MANY people onto this game through my YouTube channel, Twitter, Facebook, etc... and ALL of them quit... because normal functions don't work.
-Having to hit the same button 3 times before the desired effect happens
-Bullets ghosting through people
-Slow software
-Match making dilemmas

The list goes on. Even if the content was the best in the world, and everything was fair and balanced, people still don't want to play a game that doesn't work.
