Hey! Remember when the table showed a preview of the map we were going to fight on?

Player since May 2012 here, from when you couldn't see through the SMG sites at all (it was a white screen totally opaque), when you could stand 5 meters from a target, neither of you moving and neither could kill each other or scratch shields due to no hit detection, etc. It was much worse, and the whippersnappers here don't know how far the game has come. The other vets, like Aeon, only remember the positive, and not the negative. What will be your legacy? Will you rise, or will you fall?

There is no excuse to removing the fun parts. Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives. Tuna > Tacos

The other vets, like Aeon, only remember the positive, and not the negative. Oh, I remember the negatives full and well. Invincible Marauders, unkillable scouts, Heavies with no mass, swarm launchers that would blow the bejeezus out of everything -but- the user, that one missile turret at the top of the Biomass outpost that would wreck ass on everything because missiles had infinite range and the only way to hack it was to get a dropship up there. I also remember dropship smashing because there was no collision damage, as well as the first instances of 'tower sniping' and dropships that had small missile turrets being the most OP thing in the game. Assault Rifles having perfect accuracy/damage up to 100m or more. Trust me, I remember a lot of the negatives; I just prefer to remember the cool stuff that was actually better than what we currently have. forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m= (Frames)1544109 (Advertisement)1556863 (Packs)1570030 (Lag Hunt) 1570201

And you know what, you are correct. This game looked better before it's actual release! It looks shinier, and more fun. It looks like happy Dust. Desperate attempt to get BPOs

And you know what, you are correct. This game looked better before it's actual release! It looks shinier, and more fun. It looks like happy Dust. Carbon version was never given to the public. Also I'm not sure if we're looking at the same footage, because the only thing I'd like from that other version would be fighter jets. Also if CCP messed up something so close to industry standard as UE, think what mess would we see with their "original" baby. In words of George Takei: "Oh my!" Also current build is better than closed beta IMHO. I've been here for over 18 months and this is my opinion. Also I'm not going anywhere, unlike all the doomers & gloomers. SL dumbfire, DS bumpercars, Scout beast-mode. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time.. to die.
Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 3387	Posted - 2014.01.03 23:40:00 - [44] - Quote I remember people complaining that beta was ****, and it'll never be as good as the alpha looked. I remember swarms being sniper shotguns I remember HAVs being worse than they are now I remember dropships being untouchable while their gunners OHKed everyone they looked at. I remember mass drivers having 4 shot clips, half of which didn't actually explode I remember firing an entire MD clip into the back of a red heavy- they took no damage, but I died. I remember when active scanners did absolutely nothing We used to have a time machine

The other vets, like Aeon, only remember the positive, and not the negative. I agree with you in a way. I do remember all the insane bugs and crappy hit detection, the overall lack of polish and whatnot and while I agree it was in no way superior in gameplay and mass appeal (what little there is) of what it is now it had a certain quirky charm to it. There were long periods of time waiting for an update and dealing with almost unbearable bullshit but I honestly had fun back then...problems and all. Perhaps it is because I've never been a huge fan of the standard FPS games like COD or whatever and so I enjoyed all the insanity. I'm glad they fixed it because the game would be even more of a disaster if they had released it as it was but I'm just saying that I, personally, had a lot more fun back then than I do now. Or did as I haven't played in months because once it started getting more "polished" it lost that charm for me. I keep hanging around waiting to see what happens but I'm not feeling very encouraged.

I-Shayz-I I-----I 1789	Posted - 2014.01.04 00:18:00 - [47] - Quote The old Repair Tool beam :/ I will say that the new one is nice for not lagging the game up or glitching, but the old one just looked so pretty, especially when you had it connected to two people at once. The burst rifle having 5-7 round bursts (I always thougt it was 5, most people say 7) The amazing HMG range in chromosome (I know it's back, but for a while it was absolute crap) Manus peak ambush (other game modes on it sucked though) LAV boosting (drive a LAV off a jump then exit your vehicle and you go flying) When there were so many free LAVs running around that AV grenades were actually worth it Links: List of Most Important Threads I make logistics videos!

You'd spend more time trying to play the game than you would actually playing it. Do you remember at fanfest when they announced that they reduced it to 30 seconds? AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!

I never had a problem with those ... could be cos I was the ONLY person using proto swarms, damage mods AND tactics. I've been doing dropships and proto AV then and I concur -- if you had any clue you'd be able to make the entire map a no-fly zone solo. And when there was no AV my dedicated gunner would go something like 38/0 and get a bunch of hatemail afterwards. Yet with another AVer you were guaranteed to have no derpers above. Also proto forges still OHK those flying coffins like mad. I-Shayz-I wrote: LAV boosting (drive a LAV off a jump then exit your vehicle and you go flying) Yes, I remember this! You could have paratrooped enemy nest with heavy/shotty squads from LAVs! That was one of the funniest things in the game, especially on first Manus Peak version, objectives A & C. In current build even jumping out of flying dropship can get you killed and now I'm sad. SL dumbfire, DS bumpercars, Scout beast-mode. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
