Here is another example of a video constructed by CCP that indicates a far greater impact in New Eden than what mercenaries enjoy, and part of the problem "One Universe//OneWar"

Or this video, that indicates we have an impact on Eve Online Fight your own War: DUST 514 E3 Trailer 2013

This is the one though that stands out as being the one that sold me on Dust 514 even after playing in the Closed Beta Dust 514 PSN Open Beta Launch Trailer . This is the game I am waiting for.

This trailer also suggests more than just 16 vs 16 Gameplay Dust 514 official Cinematic Trailer

If this is not the standard of fanboyism, I don't know what is. The beat up slogan "Dust - a game always in development" is tantamount to "Dust - a game that never happened". Btw I've said a thousand times. If it's truly in development, they should not be selling AUR.

This is how development has been with Dust for 2 years now. CCP is incapable of making Dust work. I think for three main reasons:

1) They have no prior experience with shooters.
2) They listen to the Dust community as though it's the Eve community, but the Dust community is far less capable of giving rational and functional feedback.
3) They spend too much time on balancing and not enough time on getting promised content in - PVE, Eve interaction, etc.

Expect Dust to continue to be an also ran, and slowly fade away as CCP focuses elsewhere.

Remember that this is a game in development. New released games are not games in development, those are fully progressed games ready for buyers to enjoy all of its features.

I think that Dust 514 is so much more. This may sound poetic but I think that CCP is letting us experience the adventure with them. We are a part of their development. They could just tell us to f*ck off, close all Dust accounts and release the game back in 10 years and it would be ready. What would be the fun in that? We would have nothing to say about how the game develops and would just have to play it as it is.

Not everyone can be happy and that's just how it is and will always be. The only real problem I see is how hard it is to start playing. The beginners base has to be remade. Then there are the small disagreements about what is OP and what is not "nerf this" and "nerf that". It will get better, it will be fixed if something is wrong with it(exept the flaylocks apparently). = HINT;)

Just stay calm and realise that creating a computer game takes time, a lot of time if you want to do it well.

It's easy to pick a single feature from one game, a single feature from another game, and then say that these games achieve things that DUST does not.

Honestly, I don't think you appreciate all of the things that DUST does correctly that all of the games you mentionned above do not do...

Yes there are bugs and these should be fixed (I'm specifically referring to the game crashing), but as far as unique features go, this games is years ahead of the competition.

Find one more game that does this...

1. Integration into an existing MMO game: CCP will eventually provide a richer integration, but the games are currently integrated which no other developer has done.

2. Nice multi-threaded UI: CCP has done a great job with this, you can be navigating and using the neo-com while the game is searching for battle or you are waiting for deployment.

3. Re-stocking dropsuits from battle,

4. MMO FPS including:
- Market (player market will eventually be here, but there is a market right now)
- Diverse skill tree.
- Persisted battle results.
- Corporations that allow players to own territory.

The game is not perfect, but it is the first to offer all of the above and it is normal to expect growing pains (particularly with balancing issues) with features that are a first in the industry.

The type of things that I believe we can reproach CCP for are bugs, particularly the following...
- Game crashing (at the end of matches and sometimes when starting matches)
- Voice chat bugs (sometimes the voice breaks up, the visual indicator of who is micked and speaking does not work)

The FPS game mechanics are not this game's strong suit , but they are good enough for me to enjoy the action.

I'm willing to keep playing and give CCP time to perfect the game.

As said in one of eminem songs (yes I cant believe im bringing up the douche) "YOUR TO OLD LET GO ITS OVER, NOBODY LISTENS TO TECHNO". Same can be said of vet players, bring the hate it rolls off my back.

I can get with what you're saying but I feel that CCP hardly cares at this point. They truly let the ball slip, and instead of picking it back up, they are letting it roll away.

What about the 1.8 release sounds like they're "letting it roll away"?

See even the noobs have more fun just messing around than actually fighting.
LOL noob....*puts in an 8 track and rocks out to Hells Bells*

Lol hate to be a buzz kill, been playing for over a year :p. Shouldnt be quick to judge, I just havent bothered with th forums til now.

The same can be said of you from me, ive never heard of u at all, at least u have seen me around haha. No offence intended. Also saying that I said it is putting words in my mouth like a troll, so whose the noob now.

Wish I could say, I could open them. Sadly i cant.

Nuh, dark souls2 is better.
