One year agoGǪ. at exactly this timeGǪ. Evolution-7 was born.
My trials and tribulations with this game.
I am a MAGgot, a ex-Eve Online player 2005-2007 (stopped because my PC couldnGÇÖt handle it after Trinity patch, yes I had a really crappy PC), a ex BFBC2 and BF3 player. A veteran of the Ace Combat series. A veteran of Warhawk and Starhawk. And a COD player from time to time.
I found out about dust in 2009 when I was watching the EVE fanfest stream. In 2012 my ps3 was in for repair for 4 months of August to December, at this time period the -ú15 mercenary pack deal newly came out.
I do have a lot of dust experience of closed beta from my brothers ps3 on his char while he was at university. Been a player of dust since May 2012 (not on this char) when I found on the eve forums that the codes were available from PS Home. I didnGÇÖt bother when I got my ps3 back in January to buy it as open beta was 5 days away. I created this char on day one of open beta as there was a wide respec and my brothers avatar name sucked and he need asked for his ps3 back a few days earlier. I am not someone who just found the game while browsing the PS store or heard it from my friends.
During closed beta, times were tough, especially for a player like me who was reluctant to join a corporation. I honed my dropship skills then to what they are today. Then, I remember getting the assault vk.0 from just 2 weeks of playing (there used to be no cap and the sp from each match was very high, 20 000-40 000 SP per match un-boosted. From May 2012 to April 2013 I was a solo player, no corporation, nothing. I felt like a TRUE mercenary then. I didnGÇÖt care about KDR, I didnGÇÖt care if I got shot down in my Eryx by AV 5 times in a row or blown up in my Sagaris. IGÇÖd just play and earn the ISK back. I remember the Caldari prime event, god, good times.
Anyway, I felt like a true mercenary from replication till the end of chromosome. I enjoyed dust from May 2012 till date, gameplay wise even with all the bugs. What killed the mercenary experience was me beginning to squad up and hear people **** talk CCP. Thats what ruined it. Also the old battle music.
Then when certain asshats take what you have, it ruins it further. And the open and closed beta nostalgia does not help either.
Most of the mercenaries I met from beta have moved on. Sucks, but it happens, many of the real dust vets will understand what I am talking about.
I miss the old days, theyGÇÖll never be back.
Its been a hell of a ride.
What is your story?

Dude are you insane?
I am not leaving, where did i state i was?
READ
I clearly said at chromosome there was a wide respec so no one has the SP from pre chromosome (open beta build)
I for one have only 21 million SP, built everyday with no boosters so dude cut the crap.

...I don't think it's our fault that CCP chose to give beta players 20-40K SP per match. Sorry you weren't there early enough. And it seems like you're the one who is crying, not the vets.
He does not know what I am talking about read above.
When they implemented the new SP system i had 11 million SP on my ex-toon.

Yeah I didn't really realize that they gave that much SP i guess, because I never got 11 mil that quick, I had 11 mil SP around like, 2 months ago lmao. I'm at 15 mil right now hah
I could link you a highly secretive video of a dust video of one of my mates from replication days. Will have to link it through a channel outside of CCP's control. Don't want it getting blocked for breaching NDA right?

Yup, beta finishes today, I really hate to pay to play fuel system, keep giving feedback in the URL they linked so they remove it!
