SP, character development. But what motivates me to play on a given day.
I think a lot about dust throughout the day. Yet I typically end up only playing for an hour or so. Maybe just for one game. Before I play I get kinda hyped up, excited you know.
But
Here lately I get excited, then start reasoning it all out. What am I going to do, what fit, what game mode, ect. Thats when my will to play begins to decline. I start thinking about tanking, and get kinda bummed. It isn't as fun as it was when I started. As in, I don't get that thrill from it I used to. It feels empty.
So I play a game (From yesterday) and pull out my speed fit ultra glass cannon gunnlogi and rack up around 800 points off turrets right at the start. AV was light, kept to the corners, shot some infantry with my rail (always sweeeet). End of match, 5-0 over 1000 WP.
Next I take a long break, another beer, step out for a smoke, ****, then back to dust. In which I sit and ponder if I should play another game. I really really don't. But I think I might, so I say ok, one more.
Same thing in this match, kill turrets, kill infantry with my rails. Run from swarms, heal, approach from different angle, attack, repeat. 5-0 and over 1000 WP.
Both very good games.
Yet I am bored, and uninterested. For as much as I think about dust throughout the day ( checking forums, checking twitter,ect.) you would think I play all the time. But dust has grown stale.
I can recall, when I first started back in May, always capping out. I played 4 to 5 hours on the weekdays, and many more on the weekends. But over time, as my character and my skills improved, I grew disinterested.
I'm bored. It's the same thing, over and over and over.
As I browesed through the fourms, I come to understand dust and it's progress. There is soo much potential here, and honestly, I feel the game is very lacking. The fact that you can kinda consider this beta really puts me off.
When I first heard about dust 514, I thought holy ****, eve and dust connected. One being a shooter the other a sandbox mmo. So much potential.
Then I learn my Eve char, really doesn't interact with the dust bunnies. No P2P market, or a market between dust and eve. No way to support my dust char with my eve char.
Eve and Dust 514 might as well be separate games.
But in the beginning, I was excited. I saw a bright future ahead for the game. Then the months drag on, and progress has been slow. Patches were small, and never added "content" to the game. Bug fixes, improvements to aiming, blah blah blah. Since release to now, everything has been minor.
Your game, CCP is boring. It has been the same thing, every patch. 1.7 is a major Content update, so we shall see. But, again I'm tired of beta testing. The new patch will bring balance problems, bugs, blah blah blah, that will all require another month to fix. So the content, that I feel should have been part of the game from the start, will be many months down the road.
I'm really thinking about getting into a new game, but I haven't given up hope.
Btw, what motivates me to play, right at this moment, is PC. Which I might be late for!
Nuff Said
