Well, I truly do appreciate CCP and ESL for putting on the Tourney. It sounds like the NA and EU regions had a blast.

But this is it for me as a Dust merc. I've spent the last year and a half playing hard, helping to run a Corporation, and spending a huge amount of time and money on this game. But I feel the rewards do not amount to the efforts.

Due to a competitive arena (the very pinnacle of the gun game we call Dust) being marred by game breaking bugs, I have to say I don't want to continue playing this game. It has weighed too much of a heavy hand on my life that has not rewarded me with the gaming experience I have hoped for all this time.

All the best to the rest of the AU/NZ Dust community. We are definitely the most overlooked region within this game, and I tip my hat to those who still have the patience to stick with this game.

It's difficult to pinpoint the correllation, as no notification actually popped up at the left of the screen.

Before the match began we got a notification of a new member joining. No problem there. During the match we had died at similar times (roughly 3-4min into the match) and then were unable to spawn back in. We could not move the spawn in selector, we just had an above view of the map, and the ability to access the neocom.

Once we had both left the match after being unable to spawn in we saw a new notification that ANOTHER new member had joined. Neither of us recall the mail popup during the match, but we are sure the new member had not joined at the time we were in the Warbarge.
