I want CCP to do some television advertising, think of how many people want something new to play without having to buy the next-gen console.
Get an advertisement on TV and reallllllly hammer home the free-to-play aspect, and I reckon DUST will have an influx of thousands of players.
Still, 4,400 max for last night isn't too bad, maybe we will see 5,000+ consistently soon?

PS4 currently has nothing I want other than Killzone.
Xbox One is prone to failure and has nothing I'll ever want.
I'm getting the WiiU for Monster Hunter and Pikman.
My PS3 has at least half a decade left in it.
Look at all these needless spaces.

when we are able to buy PS4s (when there is stock) and when guys actually get them with a decent title, then we'll see how many continue to unplug the ps4 just to log onto dust.

No, you really don't want them advertising, it'll be money wasted with the game in a state atm, advertise when it's good and balanced.
Also, PS4 isn't out in Europe yet is it?

They already have a TV advertisement, which they showcased at FanFest 2013.

I should've saved all those threads where people specifically said the PS4 wouldn't be the end of DUST. The doomsayer threads simply attracted more trolls, which is why they became popular opinion because they hogged the front page. I'm pretty sure lots of us knew DUST wouldn't somehow instantly become a ghost town when the new console launched.
And even if people slowly trickle away, the amount of times I've heard "DUST is the only game I've continuously played for x amount of time" is really uplifting, and it will probably apply to me as well (record is probably 2.5 years on 1 game). You'll probably come back, and even if you replace the PS3 and are physically unable to play, then it will nag the back of your mind until you can't help but re-install it. I tried stopping DUST and I got to two months, after which I started dreaming about dropships.

PS4 hasn't had it's European release yet, so there's that.
And then there's the slightly more cautious adopters who held back and are as we speak sniffing the winds for tidings of burning resin and hot plastic.
But none of that really matters. Sooner or later the doomsayers will realize that there is nothing tougher, nothing harder to kill than New Eden. I'm still waiting for a developer to come along who has the balls to take CCP on in this market and give them some real competition. We will all profit from CCP having a real competitor.
So far though, nobody has stepped up to the plate. Just more and more elaborate iterations on the accessible and meaningless games for the masses. I suppose they're afraid of offending palates weened on mcdonalds.
And in the end, all those doomsayers are just over-sensitive loverboys jilted by CCP's independence ;)

Well, GAME.co.uk screwed up my order so I don't get mine till Tuesday...
You sound like you're complaining lol.
But seriously, the numbers have been holding steady and been showing a slight increase for the last 6 weeks. We're getting a lot more applications in D-UNI from players in Eve coming over to give Dust a go. 1.7 will have new Shiney and a shed load of fixes from what I hear, so my hopes for the game are as high as they've ever been to be honest.
Sorry if such a positive post might scare some but they do happen.

LOL, your own link at the time I clicked on it, said max online in a 24 hour period was 4443. In other words, about the same as always. While this proves the doomsayers about ps4 may have initially been incorrect in thinking it would be an instant kill, it does not mean there is any growth to dust. There is not any growth to dust. Face it, this game will be like Mag. It will have a small but insanely devoted group of people that play it constantly. As a result, Dust can last about 4-5 years like mag did. It will not be the end all be all of gaming like you delude yourself into thinking.
P.S. IWS you are also forgetting a couple of things regarding the next gen consoles. Some folks always wait a few months before getting next gen consoles to wait for the bugs to be fixed. So while they did not get them right away, they will get them in a few months. You are also not considering the fact that there will be a shortage of the next gen consoles in the US through the holiday season as it is next to impossible to find one right now in certain cities as they have sold out. There are folks that will continue to look for them and when they get their hands on a next gen, they may very well quit dust. They just do not have the ability to do so yet |

Simple really some peopel came back to play the game in the hope that alot of the vets and protostompers had left to play something else on the PS4 etc (The protostompers are tryhards .. it is logical to thing that they'd have bought 1st Gen consoles) .. thats why my brother came back to play it but it's still the same so he is going back to not playing it on monday

Good point and I agree. I should have put that in my post.
No not yet, 29th November, we will wait and see what happens!
From the beginning if this game had proper matchmaking, a proper new player experience and tutorials + TV advertising, then DUST would be a in different place.
You can't get the game to a good standard and say "hey guys, come back...please...?"
I like any increase in player count but I don't see how people will come back to DUST. It would be great if the matchmaking was in place when we had the player counts to make it viable.
To chime in on the PS4 though, I won't be getting one for a while, not until all the good exclusives are released, really want some horror games. I think the PS4 will be in it's prime after 6 months.
Really CCP should aim at getting DUST on the PS4 in the next year or really, what hope is there?

The newborn player count has remained steady for a while now, yet the active amount of players has been steadily slowly decreasing. A month before 1.7, with free boosters, events, a triple SP week and a bonus 40-50k SP a week on tuesdays, you've managed to get the numbers back up.
Good job, but it says nothing about longterm player retention. We'll see what happens when 1.7 comes out. We'll probably get another spike in newborn players and active players, then. Dust 514 is "doomed" if the downward trend continues, even if disrupted for a short period of time, through major content updates. I think Dust will have a cycle of losing active players and gaining active players between large updates, so it's hard to tell anything now.

New Eden in a niche that is difficult to fill. We can complain and bemoan about CCP but you have to give it to them. They make one hell of a sci fi universe. I don't worry too much about the doomsayers because it isn't anything that EVE didn't go through. If EVE's past is an indication of our future then we are in for a good time.

Sorry, < 5,000 players on a system with 77 million sold doesn't say good things about the future of DUST.
If people didn't bother to try a free game by now, what makes you think they will with next-gen consoles and true next-gen games becoming widely available over the next year?
And don't tell me new content because one or two new weapons or suits per year is not going to draw new players.
Also, someone has to pay for this development so we need those people willing to drop $500 on a FTP game. You may not like them and they don't deserve an "IWin" button, but we need them. Every person who states on this forum that they've spent "hundreds of dollars" is lol'd.
With PS4 launch, tons of "old" PS3 games much better than DUST are going to be moving to the bargain bins. Even those willing to stay on the PS3 for financial reasons or PS4 availability are going to have many more great games to play on the cheap. Are they going to drop $50 or a $100 on DUST when the can get 5-10 games for the same money? |

They don't have to do that . A lot of people know about Dust 514 . More than you think , just look at YouTube and social media sights and you can tell that the game ( along with EVE ) is well known . A lot of features of and about this game is the key to it's success or failure .
Trust me . Get the bugs out and fix some ( not even all but just some FOR NOW ) of the problems of this game and first the old players will come back and second some newer players will come because the players you have now will bring players as well as the old players ( when they come back ) so lets solve some of these problems and this game will be fine .
CCP knows what they are doing ( half the time ... mad about my tanks still ) so let's just trust them and enjoy the ride .

To be honest, a lower player count is probably a good thing for us right now, considering how buggy and laggy the game can be. Best to keep it on the DL until we get PvE, EVE connection, smooth fps, stable balance and mechanics. This time next year is what will really start showing DUST's true colors. They're still building the foundation. It's close.

lmao i loved that. itll be the 1st year anniversary of dust and it still wont have any of that CCP wanted in the game for release lol
CCP shouldve gone the way of duke nukem forever and released "when it's done"
of course DNF came out and sucked, so theres that too.
lesson from this is to get the help you need to get things done in a reasonable time frame. crowd fund if need be, but get it done when you say itll be done, and dont use the term MMO as an excuse to release a product without even half of its content. Bad form CCP |

Get an advertisement on TV and reallllllly hammer home the free-to-play aspect, and I reckon DUST will have an influx of thousands of players.
Still, 4,400 max for last night isn't too bad, maybe we will see 5,000+ consistently soon?
They already have a TV advertisement, which they showcased at FanFest 2013.

I'd reckon that the PS4 will really buzz when MGSV, Destiny, and Watchdogs come alive on the consoles. Oh and there's Infamous: Second Son and the F2P Space Ninja Game(Which looks like it belongs in Dust because of the character models). >.> Dust has plenty of time to build itself up before placing a set on the PS4 before the playerbase is "stolen" away like these caller of the apocalypse players have been saying.

There was a really well done post that was made a few months ago, I suggest you reread it (don't necro it though)
https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=112030
Basically the sentiment and research is still much the same: Among Free to play Games concurrent logged in users are not as high as one expects, and the total player base isn't determined just by the "highest concurrent players" count that so many people are using from Eve Offline.
Remember there is a -large- difference in scope between 4k players total vs 4k players logged in concurrently. The First indicates total population size, where as the second is only the cap of people playing at one time.
Also, we can assume that sessions for the average player aren't that long. Using this link:
http://www.pwc.com/us/en/industry/entertainment-media/publications/assets/pwc-video-gaming-and-content-consumption.pdf
we can see an industry paper from Microsoft on the average play time per WEEK of many players. Using Pg 2 as a reference, we can see average weekly play times. Assuming everyone who plays DUST is in the "Heavy Gamer" category that still only shows 6.8 hrs a week spent on the game.
Assuming 1 hr sessions, that isn't even enough (on average) to cover the entire peak time of each day. Not to mention the middling numbers (less than peak) that display the rest of the non-peak hours. Clearly one can see that the total player count is -far- higher than max players. |

@Aoena, PCU is peak concurrent user and only measures highest number of players logged in to the game. There is a separate battle PCU that measures number of people in battles. WAU, is weekly active user, and is more commonly used to gauge player base size.

But none of that really matters. Sooner or later the doomsayers will realize that there is nothing tougher, nothing harder to kill than New Eden. I'm still waiting for a developer to come along who has the balls to take CCP on in this market and give them some real competition. We will all profit from CCP having a real competitor.
So far though, nobody has stepped up to the plate. Just more and more elaborate iterations on the accessible and meaningless games for the masses. I suppose they're afraid of offending palates weened on mcdonalds.
And in the end, all those doomsayers are just over-sensitive loverboys jilted by CCP's independence ;)
If Deep Silver and Egosoft were smart, SOMEHOW if they introduced an online universe, IMHO over time the X universe will kill EvE... I freakin love the X series. One thing that brought me to New Eden. Now that X Rebirth is out, I am gonna buy it and get lost for a few months lol. Deep Silver NEED to launch an online X game! |

Man, calm down, I'm leaving soon, just be patient; I have to wait for the PS4s to be restocked at my local GameStop, and then if 1.7 isn't as good as CCP hyped, I'm gone.
(P.S.: I don't think 1.7 is going to make a lot of vehicle or AV users very happy, so I'm getting my shoes ready to head out the door just in case.)

i wont be buying a ps4 for at least a year. Even then i will likely buy a broken one off ebay and find youtube video's on how to fix it. So far it has worked well for me. I have fixed 7 ps3 systems (and permanently broken 3 when i attempted to remove the integrated heat sink) The money these companies want for these systems is much more than what they are worth to me personally. Maybe when the kids are older and they want to use the systems as well.

Most other games don't even post at all.
In general for not a top line (games that get plastered on front of every game website well after launch) product we're fairly average as some snooping around found out about other games. Some numbers revealed we're doing much better than some even who have a playing cocurrent numbers around the hundreds.

I still hope that once the basic content and gungame is fixed that CCP will put it on other platforms like the PS4 and the PC if we can steal some of the counterstrike numbers we are onto a winner
CS = buy weapons and armor with money gained from combat Dust just goes to the next level and keep that money round after round
right now there are 130k people playing CS in some form on steam these players are dedicated to quality gun game where deaths matter, hence never moving on to BF and COD, these are the players we want to educate to join us
These players already know of New Eden but its not their game type, i dont want to pull players from EvE i want them from other games to grow New Eden as a whole, i want New Eden to cover as many game types as possible, get everyone involved
However right now with the state of the game if it was ported to PC they will turn up play a few rounds and leave, our mouse controls are poor, its missing all the basic content, TTK is too low, Vehicles.......
Give them time then move to other platforms release adverts and boost the player base, until then the odd spike means nothing, only the overall trend of player count matters
my habbits have changed i no longer login and play, now i just login and play something else on the PC, wonder how many others have trouble forcing themselves to play this build?

More than you think , just look at YouTube and social media sights and you can tell that the game ( along with EVE ) is well known . A lot of features of and about this game is the key to it's success or failure . Trust me . Get the bugs out and fix some ( not even all but just some FOR NOW ) of the problems of this game and first the old players will come back and second some newer players will come because the players you have now will bring players as well as the old players ( when they come back ) so lets solve some of these problems and this game will be fine . CCP knows what they are doing ( half the time ... mad about my tanks still ) so let's just trust them and enjoy the ride . DIE 1.7 DIE 1.7 DIE 1.7 DIE 1.7 DIE 1.7 DIE 1.7 DIE1.7 DIE 1.7 DIE 1.7 DIE 1.7 DIE 1.7 DIE 1.7 DIE 1.7 DIE 1.7 DIE ALREADY !!!! +1. I had to quote this. Great analysis, Shinobi MumyoSakanagare ZaShigurui(love that name!).
I think you nailed it. Why are we still here? Simply put, DUST is revolutionary. We all intuit that if CCP can execute, the results will manifest as something beyond 'mindblowing'.
By now the entire industry and a large part of the potential playerbase has some inkling of this, and is also aware that there are technical problems. But many peeps are watching, reading articles, checking in occasionally to see for themselves.
If CCP can clean up their mess(and they are) and move ahead with core systems, content and meaningful gameplay, DUST's numbers have the potential to change very quickly. We need much more than will be in 1.7, however, 1.11 seems like a reasonable estimate for us having all of our core FPS systems and content in place.

With 1.7 I will unhappily admit Dust514 is still better than most next gen games. I just hope they fix ttk because I can only managed like 3 games before it pisses me off and I quit :-(

dust 514 has less glitches than BF4 on the ps3. wtf dice.
also, on the subject of the tv spot, ccp has done a great job not airing that (0% sacrasm). tell me if you just picked up the game would you stay? if you have no idea why I'd ask that, fire up an alt and see what happens or even better fire up an alt hand the controller to a friend and see what happens.
has this changed? is having 5 matches of academy then being proto stomped better than just being proto stomped?

CCP is bribing us to stay this week with trinkets. Other games don't have to do that to get people to stay.
It's always nice to log in periodically and prance around a bit for freebies. Doesn't mean people care about this game beyond a humorous aside.
Kittens are cute. You play with them, but you don't really take them seriously.

Get an advertisement on TV and reallllllly hammer home the free-to-play aspect, and I reckon DUST will have an influx of thousands of players. Still, 4,400 max for last night isn't too bad, maybe we will see 5,000+ consistently soon? They don't have to do that . A lot of people know about Dust 514 . More than you think , just look at YouTube and social media sights and you can tell that the game ( along with EVE ) is well known . A lot of features of and about this game is the key to it's success or failure . Trust me . Get the bugs out and fix some ( not even all but just some FOR NOW ) of the problems of this game and first the old players will come back and second some newer players will come because the players you have now will bring players as well as the old players ( when they come back ) so lets solve some of these problems and this game will be fine . CCP knows what they are doing ( half the time ... mad about my tanks still ) so let's just trust them and enjoy the ride . DIE 1.7 DIE 1.7 DIE 1.7 DIE 1.7 DIE 1.7 DIE 1.7 DIE1.7 DIE 1.7 DIE 1.7 DIE 1.7 DIE 1.7 DIE 1.7 DIE 1.7 DIE 1.7 DIE ALREADY !!!!
A lot of people might know Dust but how many actually think the game is good and/or play it? And how many is actually "a lot" and how many of them are people from Eve , Dust players, and known about Eve vs people that don't know anything about dust?

Wow you really are the worst CPM ever... dude seriously go home.
Anyway, down to it: here's a little statistics for our genius CPM based on weekly peaks:
Oct 26 active players: 4156 Oct 26 new players: 767
Nov 2 active players: 4180 Nov 2 new players: 667
... where did all the new players from Oct 26 go? wait let's give Nov another chance.
Nov 9 active players: 4398 Nov 9 new players: 661
getting better... so far 242 out of the previous 1434 new players stuck around. Maybe there is more to come?
Nov 16 active players: 4073???? what happened? Nov 16 new players: 826
Let me get this straight... so far -83 of the previous 2095 new players of previous weeks stuck around? Lets do one more week:
Nov 23 active players: 3875 Nov 23 new players: 801
Ok so far? -281 of the previous 2921 new players stuck around. Or better put... ALL new players have left and 281 vets have left... but you are right... today is a good day.
Let's also keep in mind that Nov events were basically a bribe to all players to come back online. Imagine if there was no bribe? |

Sigh I am not bad at reading graphs, I just don't have the means to read the graphs like Mr. Veldspar does. In order to measure the entire player base you have to measure the area of the frequency above zero for 30 instances of the frequency. Also all the math I been taught so far only measure area of a frequency if the frequency is bell shaped perfectly (normally distributed) which is highly possible to do if you rearrange the numbers on a single instance of the frequency. From there you get you find your deviation, tolerances, and zscores and do the math. Bunch of boring stuff really.
That aside your conclusion that new born players are not translating into new players participating has a factor you may not accounted for. That its counting characters, not accounts. So unless we know how many alts are being made a day we're having a bad means telling who's what. You are right to assumed that despite the alt factors that some of these new players should be translating to higher numbers throughout the day but like I said unless you're measuring the volumes of the frequency over a period of time you're not going to be getting an accurate number.

Ok so let's do it your way by only choosing days that support me. Where you took the highest day last week, I will take the lowest of days last week and compare it to the plataux of recent. And then I will win. Sound fair?
Also... all this means is Dust is dying slower this month. Well done. |

Friend of mine took me to his farm where his mother kept a large number of cats to keep mice away, the pack done caught themselves a rabbit and tore into a bit and let the kittens have at it.
To see what i normally thought to be a white kitten to pop out of the rabbit's gut like the larva from aliens was a bit scary.

But none of that really matters. Sooner or later the doomsayers will realize that there is nothing tougher, nothing harder to kill than New Eden. I'm still waiting for a developer to come along who has the balls to take CCP on in this market and give them some real competition. We will all profit from CCP having a real competitor.
So far though, nobody has stepped up to the plate. Just more and more elaborate iterations on the accessible and meaningless games for the masses. I suppose they're afraid of offending palates weened on mcdonalds.
And in the end, all those doomsayers are just over-sensitive loverboys jilted by CCP's independence ;)

GTAV killed it, right? Or was it CoD Ghosts? Or maybe BF4? The PS4? Killzone? The XBOX? I dunno, i forget them all.
But i'm pretty sure one of those titans killed DUST - the haters said so - just before they left. But didn't leave.

Im thinking 4,400 player population is a far cry from the potential a fore mentioned amount of 80 million potential users.
SO how bout we quit bragging about player population, talking about ways to rip off our already existing paying customers by removing content ie BPO's .Reversing there decision to port to PS4 at release and get this game to where it was "hyped" to be at.

"It did forced"? First off, you don't have a damn clue what you are talking about when it comes to statistics (applied mathematics major here, so don't even conceive the idea that you know what you are saying); second off, how the hell did you get into CPM when you type with as much incorrect grammar as you do? I guess CCP hired you for your skills of subterfuge and your ability to play with their "smokes and mirrors" routine, but this is plain ridiculous.
Go back to school, and then come back and talk to the big boys when you are ready to become a real productive member of CPM.
P.S.: Your attitude and what you represent, is the one of the prime reasons CCP is failing in their mission to keep players playing Dust 514.

I know a lot of people still logging plenty of Dust time despite having a PS4.
We should just accept the love hate relationship and come to terms that we really like Dust.
I'm bored with the content, but I still love the game.

Lol! You do realize the math adds up right?
So if we take into account all the new players:
Current week active players - first week active players SHOULD EQUAL: First week active players + all or at least a small portion of new players since First week.
Instead what we see is: Current week active players < First week active players + ALL new players since first week.
Or better described as, players are quitting faster than they are joining. |

As I mentioned in another thread, Dust is very similar to Mag's track. Mag's player base dwindled quickly just like Dust. Those that remained were a fanatical fan base that kept a broken game going on for 4 years. (yes it will be four years come January which is its last month to live.) Dust seems like its fanatical fan base can keep it alive for about 4-5 years as well. However, it will need to eventually port to PS4 to do so. So relax hardcore dust players. Your game will not die anytime soon. It may be a ghost town with the same folks in lobbies over and over, but hey so was mag and it survived longer than it should have. |

Instead what we see is: Current week active players < First week active players + ALL new players since first week. Or better described as, players are quitting faster than they are joining. Ok, since it's a Friday and I'm feeling too lazy to work:
The numbers you quote do not indicate active players. They show player counts online at a given time. That means, on the assumption that there is overlap between different players playing at different times, and that average play time is 2-4 hours a day, you'd be looking at an active total playercount much higher than the quote 3000-4000.
Next, you have the X number of new characters created. The new characters created could either be old players creating alts, or new players creating accounts and creating characters. Therefore a more accurate indicator would be new accounts created, which unfortunately we don't have the numbers for. This is not to say that even if we had this number, we could derive anything from it, since it's hard to track how many unique new players there are as opposed to an old player creating an alt account. Even if we assume all new characters created are unique new players, you have to factor in that they will not ALL be playing at the same time, and at the peak time at that. Therefore, even if you have 800 new characters created in a day, you would probably only see a bump of an additional 20-30 players on at a given time.
This isn't to say that Dust isn't losing subscribers. But it's not losing it at the hyperbolic Dust-Is-Dead/Dying rate you're prescribing in both this thread (backed up by ****** maths due to lack of understanding graphs) or the other thread you started (also backed by ****** maths). CCP has, in the past and present, acknowledged that new player retention is a key problem. They also, however, understand that there is always that core base of players to whom the game appeals to. The key to their success is improving new player retention, either through making the game more newbie friendly or decreasing the 'difficulty'/complexity, while at the same time not alienating their existing playerbase by driving down the complexity and systems that drew them in the first place. I would say this balancing act isn't as simple as you think it is.
You're welcome for the maths lessons and reading comprehension lessons. Next time, maybe you'll be able to understand what you're looking at when you look at a graph.
I do, however, have a question for you. Given your earlier post about deleting Dust from your PS3 (referring to your post on 22nd November), why are you still posting rubbish maths on a video game forum when you' (1) are no longer playing the game; (2) do not have the game installed anyway; and (3) claim that the game is dying?
Just wanted to understand the reasoning behind this kind of irrational behaviour, since I'm basing it off what I would do and my own line of reasoning, where if something no longer interests me (like many of the games out there), I couldn't care less what happens to it and would not bother posting anything, constructive or not, on said games' forums.
Give me some help here, since I don't understand why someone who isn't interested in a game anymore would still continue making shitposts on the forums a WEEK after the game has been deleted. |

The point is, with 800 or so new players a DAY for a week, in one weeks time you should at least see the active players in a given day (the weekly peak) increase by 30-20, but we see that it decreases most weeks.

Because the game was good once. My favorite in fact, even with all the bugs. Then they started showing sloppy development habits (coding hacks and then forgetting to remove the hacks once they fix the real issues) and just like that, 1.6 HD fixes meant if I wanted to stay on the top of the charts I'd have to proto.

Plain and simple. If CCP ever comes out with a fix to this ****** TTK issue, I would be the first to re-download and start up again. My posts are a pissed way of saying, "CCP get your **** together!" So that we can reclaim maybe just SOME of the people who have left for the same reasons. I deleted it because I was sick of getting frustrated at getting killed just for being seen, even though I was still top three spots on the team. But I am hopeful that CCP will at some point realize how frustrating they've made their game and that they are in fact losing players over it.

Honestly I see a lot of potential in this game, people bad mouth it because its not like C.O.D. and you cant run around instantly no scope 360 head shot people at whim with your pink camouflage rifle. Part of the problem with the newer generation of gamers is that game gave them the idea they were good because the game did most of the work for them. They go to something else and they aren't "good" anymore and complain. They want every other game to be exactly like that and for some reason think every game should be influenced from it lol. My first shooters were Wolfenstine and Blake Stone on floppy disc. If some of the new gamers tried to play those games they wouldn't make it past the first level. No hand holding at all. Pretty sure C.O.D. wasn't the first shooter that came along. I came to this game because some of it reminds me of M.A.G. and I ended up coming over to this and liked it. Even with the bugs I still play because its fun when you get into a good even fight that can go either way. As long as the patches keep coming and issues keep being fixed I will continue to keep playing. Hopefully eventually will see this game again on PS4. Patiently waiting for new scout suits, shotguns, and new melee sidearms lol.

Sorry Solitar what you are seeing is a combination of Eve Online players and Dust 514. Dust on average makes up less than 4000 players at peak times with a general roof at 4500 approx on weekends etc. |

I've resisted posting on this thread, but hey may as well. IWS, your analysis is somewhat interesting, but you really didn't read the next gen console situation very well. The PS4, once it really becomes widely available with that right game, Dust will plummet.
An incomplete last gen FPS with horrible mechanics and only balanced to one role out of four that requires a half year grind is doomed in any scenario. Dust 514 or any other game. You shouldn't be so happy if you really like Dust.
IWS isn't the worst CPM, That Jenza lady is. She needs to go home. I would never vote for IWS to be on CPM1, but I might for CPM2. Something tells me he desperately needs to be on the CPM, and losing that spot will help him grow enough to ditch all the bullshit and just shine with the positives he does bring in his bid for reelection on the CPM2.
Howse about them apples for an analysis, IWS?

I want you from this point forward report every thread that decides "hey let's look at dust population chart and let's widely speculate its dying" then.
Also I highly suggest looking up trolling and what generally happens in a successful troll. Generally I am a total failure of a troll to based on that fact alone.

Feeling bad for IWS is like feeling bad for that bum on the street who you give $20 only to see him 5 minutes later at your weed dealer buying some good ole kush !

We never had 9k players though that was an api error. Similar to PS2 having 2 million in a spike.

Scrolling back the player report was 6.4k.

See even more fail conclusions on the prospect on the belief that everyone bought a ps3 for dust 514 or shooter games or the sorts.
I bought mine because it was a cheap blu ray player at the time.

Log back in to the forums to see this. I love you Iron wolf. <3
As much as I bash on this game, I would love to see it succeed.
The question is not if I can or can not, but who is going to stop me?

Quote:Because the game was good once. My favorite in fact, even with all the bugs. Then they started showing sloppy development habits (coding hacks and then forgetting to remove the hacks once they fix the real issues) and just like that, 1.6 HD fixes meant if I wanted to stay on the top of the charts I'd have to proto. So you are complaining about TTK and protostomping at the same time?
Quote:Plain and simple. If CCP ever comes out with a fix to this ****** TTK issue, I would be the first to re-download and start up again. My posts are a pissed way of saying, "CCP get your **** together!" So that we can reclaim maybe just SOME of the people who have left for the same reasons. I deleted it because I was sick of getting frustrated at getting killed just for being seen, even though I was still top three spots on the team. But I am hopeful that CCP will at some point realize how frustrating they've made their game and that they are in fact losing players over it.
People who don't care, don't hate. So you deleted the game from your PS3 in a fit of rage, even though in likelihood you will one day re-download the game if/when it gets better and the issues get fixed? Get a grip on emotions maybe?
I like how you avoided the rest of my post where you couldn't come up with an argument for. Good job. |

Sorry Dude! the plural for Mathematics or Math is still Mathematics or Math ... (note the s in the end). For someone that studied A-Level 'maths' I am calling you out on this. Hop on the BS wagon LOL.
Looks like you and IWS went to the same phail grammar school.

What is wrong with you doomsayers? I mean cmon we're beating some numbers back from june for crying out loud. Your average High is around 2600-2800 Players which to be honest is fairly poor for a FREE TO PLAY Online game on the PS3, especially considering the amount of PS3s on the market. I personally have the PS4 and BF4, it's a GREAT CONSOLE, I can FINALLY Call Battlefield 4 a BATTLEFIELD game on console , especially considering that on the PS4 it runs at 60fps 900p (whereas the XBone can ONLY HANDLE 720p and yes there is a DRAMATIC Difference)and with 64 PLAYERS, Now IMAGINE - What if DUST 514 were to come to the PS4.
I'm sure we could have 64 players on the PS4 version of DUST 514 and even make it Cross Playstation with the PS3, Why do I think this? Cause we already have DC Universe on the PS4 and it ports your characters directly from the PS3 to the PS4 so you don't have to start all over again from scratch (Futhermore this is also being done with PLANETSIDE 2 on the PS4 - U can port over your character from PC to the PS4), which is another GREAT idea if cross platform isn't possible for CCP, as in PS3 and PS4 together. It would be not only nice BUT GREAT to see DUST 514 on the PS4 and have 64 or even 128 Players and being capable of playing smaller player based game modes alongside PS3 DUST 514 players (PS4 and PS3 play together as 32 players which the PS3 appears to support fine), just think of the success rate of doing such a thing CCP! MAG got into the Guiness Book of Records for the Amount of players and DUST would for a decent Cross Platform if CCP are capable of doing it, which to be honest i have serious doubts due to the constant "SooN TM".
U need Adverts on TV and the Net like U did with EVE and seriously consider a PS4 move, as in consider making it on the PS4 with a Cross gaming from PS3 to PS4.
NB CCP EVERY1 I know with a PS4 downloaded EVERY FREE TO PLAY and PS+ Game there was on the PS4 Store. Which means even DUST is bound to have more players just by making it happen on the PS4. Then again I hear you're LAZER FOCUSED... Get real man seriously... |
