DUST Search - Why Are We Still Here (Shout Out to Old Vets)/(1 Year of Dust)

Been here since E3 2012. Fought through E3 build, Precursor, Codex, Chromosome and Uprising 1.0-7. I don't give a **** about the short comings of the game because I have my expectations in check and just like playing, watching the game evolve and engaging the community and the devs and I know that in time it will just get better and better. For someone who is already more than content with the current state of the game (imbalances and bugs aside), that's good news.

Like many here, I strongly believe in the vision of CCP. As a visionary type myself I can appreciate the many pioneering steps that they're taking with the tech, the programming and the game design that comes together to create the industries first cross genre, cross platform space FPS.

I also stay because over time the lore of New Eden sucks me in more, I think it's a ******* fantastic IP and I can#t wait to see all the different avenues of engagement and access that CCP is developing. EVE, DUST and Valkyrie are already solid steps on top of CCP's movement towards putting the lore and the stories of the past decade into comics and a series.

TechMechMeds Swamp Tempo Canis Eliminatus Operatives 2412	Posted - 2014.01.25 20:32:00 - [62] - Quote My corp is what kept me, I randomly jumped in a squad with my CEO. I told him how I was ready to quit because of the fact there were only recycled player corps at the time and making my own probably wouldn't happen. He offered me directorship of swamp, he explained that he been in eve for 10-12 years (can't remember precisely) and that I can do what I want with swamp, there were about 12 members in it at the time, all noobs. I trained them and watched them grow into decent players and now we have joined an alliance and are ready for pc, luckily we behave 3 beta vets as well that joined a bit later on, they helped a lot as well. CEO is on a break though, tempo is a temporary corp until he gets back. My advice to other beta vets who are bored is to stop playing with people who only care about their stats, some are very subtle about it, but you'll know. Stop giving a fk so much, its a game, you win some and you lose some. Stop giving a fk about your 'image' in a game. I see many people caring about that trash far too much, I was 17 once. Stop corp hopping like some desperate crack ***** or joining flavour of the month corps, that can't be fun and you have no foresight in doing so, clearly. The game is what you make it but hurry the fk up ccp seriously lol. Level 2 forum warrior. Swamp iz on dat welevant flex fam I sold my family to the Amarr for isk, its a valid tactic
I HateMyFace FACTION WARFARE ARMY 37	Posted - 2014.01.25 21:06:00 - [63] - Quote Still here cause after I get my ass kicked. Coming back and stomping feels good. Also I left the game for almost a year and came back to a game that I almost didn't recognise. It's like being a blueberry all over again
J4yne C0bb Molon Labe. Public Disorder. 184	Posted - 2014.01.25 21:25:00 - [64] - Quote Still here cause of the yet-unrealized potential, and because of other mercs I enjoy playing with. The depth and difficultly of Dust tends to screen out immature players, and I like that, and so I stick around despite it's flaws. I liken Dust to golf -- it's an infuriating game, for the most part, but the moments of brilliant play make all the crap worthwhile. Min Logi \| aka Punch R0ckgroin, Fatsuit
Kane Fyea 2564	Posted - 2014.01.25 21:28:00 - [65] - Quote I was in PRO for about a day. I got kicked because I joined a corp battle I wasn't suppose to (Before Uprising).
P1nK13 P13 Apothic Void 17	Posted - 2014.01.25 21:30:00 - [66] - Quote I've been here way before chromosome. I believe the build name was Codex? I've been here since mid-codex. Female character models didn't exist and it was still all caldari suits and most forum avatars didn't exist. I was actually Amarrian at first then I went Gallente. Countless suns and moons passed and I'm still here and kicking. This game has a certain "pull" to it that I hadn't felt since playing ME1. It's addicting.

I especially love the forums BC of all the trolls. FORUMS! That what I'm here for. Any game play is purely accidental. Can you possibly believe that prior to last year I was here for the game and the forums occasionally? The only way this place could get any better is if this active communication with the Devs for 1.8 (or next game build) becomes a regular thing. That and Feedback/suggestions regaining that prestige it once had. Here, have some candy and a Like. :-) Forums > Game
Darth Fett123 The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 43	Posted - 2014.01.25 21:37:00 - [68] - Quote I'm still here because lasers. Oh and the forums are more entertaining than youtube. xD
Kushmir Nadian Valor Coalition 373	Posted - 2014.01.25 21:38:00 - [69] - Quote Not bitter but I feel guilty about getting people to spend time/money on Dust and the game still being in an unfinished state a year later. That's not cool. V-C is a small community of guys but I "sold" guys on Dust and they spent real money because I vouched for this product and we still don't have the beginning foundation of Dropsuits, Vehicles and Weapons. We still have ONE game mode and a variation of that. I tell guys to do what I do.....rather than get frustrated, save your money, take extended breaks since the SP is passive. Check back periodically for progress. Still, i don't want to be saying the same thing next Christmas. Replication Veteran: On hiatus until we have 10 game modes, jets, all racial suits/wpns and EVE has a reason to care.
AP Grasshopper The Unit 514 160	Posted - 2014.01.25 21:43:00 - [70] - Quote In the hopes this game becomes what we were promised.

LEHON Xeon Pradox XVI Proficiency V. 140	Posted - 2014.01.25 21:44:00 - [71] - Quote I've only been around for about 3/4 a year now and I'd have to say Dust has been one of the more challenging things I've come across. It's the main thing that keeps me here. That and it's also interesting to me to be able to play with people from all over the world. It's a trap! In this patch we can't repel firepower of that magnitude! - Admiral Ackbar would say in ambush w Nyain San

Phazoid The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 246	Posted - 2014.01.25 22:11:00 - [73] - Quote i want to evolve my character alongside dust, and there will be a point when dust reaches EVE level, and i will be there, and i will be able to say, veteran from close beta and that i played through the worst of dust as a SCOUT Dragons don't have friends. The nearest we can get to the idea is an enemy who is still alive.
Dericha A.N.O.N.Y.M.O.U.S. 19	Posted - 2014.01.25 22:30:00 - [74] - Quote Here since open beta and I'm usually not one for shooters at all. The depth of the game and the strategy has kept me here with some breaks.
Ripcord19981 KNIGHTZ OF THE ROUND Legacy Rising 369	Posted - 2014.01.25 22:35:00 - [75] - Quote This game just keeps me in for some reason. Im not one of the best players, so im not here cuz im good. Other fps games just feel irrelevant. I can only please one person per day. Today is not ur day, tomorrow doesn't look too bright either. Turkey sammich>taco
Zahle Undt Bullet Cluster Legacy Rising 614	Posted - 2014.01.25 23:21:00 - [76] - Quote 1) the people I play with 2) I am a sucker for a game with skill progression (guess I'm a slave to the grind) 3) One of these days when this game hits its potential I'll be skilled into everything! Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.
Shiruba Ryou 175	Posted - 2014.01.25 23:44:00 - [77] - Quote I guess the friends I made in the beginning have kept me here. As well as the promise of a truly amazing game later down the line. Other games really do seem bland have playing this for so long. Even when I get tired of playing DUST I can't find a game I'd rather play. "Not to worry. The cards say you loved it." `- Ryoutoshi`

But I can't not play it lol. Truth be told, if not for the internet friends I have gained on my first few weeks of play, i would not be here today. The potential of the game makes you an addict... And it's kinda nice having such a small player base. You know exactly who everyone is if they're from beta lol. Also the forums. The forums remind me of the game. And it just makes me wanna log on. DAMN IT CCP! Make the game better already!

Leave now while you still can! But really, it's been fun so far. I'm always happy to see someone from the beta...especially former PRO or Bunnies.

Shutter Fly Molon Labe. Public Disorder. 218	Posted - 2014.01.26 00:18:00 - [82] - Quote I guess if it wasn't for PRO, I wouldn't have even known much of anything about Dust. The only reason I was in MPT was because of PRO's move from MAG to Dust. The only reason I'm still here is because I've invested way too much in this thing to just drop it and move on. Ever since the Trials I've seen this as an investment, I've put in time and money, and it's been far too much to just cut my losses. I'm here till the end, only time will tell whether that means I'll be here to see it flourish or I will crash and burn with it. That, and I can't go abandoning my corp and the people that have made it this far with me. Although a few actually make me question why I still put up with it coughAJisn'tthatgreatandispracticallyabackgroundcharactercough, oh sorry, must be coming down with something. It'll be 2 years in May, CCP, can I start getting some of that payback?
