...Of this game. Took me a year, but i'ts where i am.
Disclaimer: This is NOT a QQ thread, and I'm NOT leaving (invested to much effort.)
I'm honestly a little surprised it took me so long with the little content this game has, which says a lot good for DUST! But seriously, am I just meant to lobby up all day? Cant do PC, can't explore a planet, no story or any sort of lore to keep my mind ticking. Would LOVE to play the market but that's not happening any time soon (I doubt it's in 1.8).
Basically what is there to do apart from que-up and fight the same maps, granted with different sockets. But the same maps over and over again.
Serious question, what is there to do? Open to all the community, CCP, CPM what do you do in dust when dust is boring?

You could always grab some fellas and all go Laser Commando.
... Or just wait until 1.8 with the many goodies it's bringing. Hopefully PvE gets installed in 1.8 but that's highly unlikely.

Take a break until the next big update hits. In this case, wait for 1.8. Log into the game, play a half dozen matches or so and see if things feel different. Try whatever new features CCP has added. If the game is now fun, continue to play. If the game still isn't fun, take another break until a big update hits. Rinse repeat.

I'm with you. I've only played 90 days and I get bored myself. I just happen to have Tales of Xilia right now so I go between them or I grind ambush with really cheap fits and go after proto's to cost them as much ISK as possible. I also have been exploring Jihad Jeep tactics lately and I just wish I could hear the things that people say after I smash their 70k+ isk Tank Fit for the third time.
I dunno, the game is kind of boring. I find that ambush offers the most entertainment but you have to accept the lower W/L ratio that comes with it. |

Well dust is a very incomplete game, so just go play another game. At least until Dust is improved.

oh man, boredom has made me skill into some pretty crazy things.
try using a myofybril/speed tanked medium frame. i managed to get 550 melee damage running at 9.84 m/s from a cal med frame ck.0, and with a minmatar med frame, you'd be able to achieve almost 700 melee damage, if not more.
i can promise you using officer weapons (other than a Thale's) will give you the rush you're looking for as well.
it's also pretty hard to get bored of shotgunning.
try scouting. that's also lots of fun when there isn't a ton of lag and you've been practicing for a while.

Feel bored?
Organize LAV races in Skirmish maps
1. Create a Dust Racing Channel
2. Form a Squad
3. Enter a match
4. RACE ON!
For added fun, establish some rules. Have someone doing the Pace Car and setting up Drop Uplinks and hives to delimit the race track (terrain characteristics can be used as well for this purpose).
The enemy will provide the Mario Kart-esque hazards.
Have fun!

LAV RACING Channel is now up and running!
Rules:
Race Mode: Be the Leader
The Squad Leader act as the Pace Car to start the race. Every other racers forms a line (side by side) right behind the Pace Car. The Race starts when the Pace Car rushes forward.
The track is all along the red line.
The goal is simple: become the leader. Be the first car ahead. Everyone follows and tries to get the lead. If you leave the pack or get somehow destroyed, you must get back to the last position in the pack and start again your progession toward the lead from there.
Gentlemen, start up your engine!

I feel the same recently. By recently I mean the past couple months. I've been on and off and the only reason I haven't completely dumbed this game and moved on is because I've already invested so much money and time into it since January Open Beta. If I had to guess I'd say I've spent... over $300 on this game since I started. Maybe more. And to me that's a **** ton for one game. Not to mention the hours apon hours of grueling grinding through broken weapon after broken weapon to get to where I am today. I'm only at 26m SP but that's because I still like having a life and I got bored with doing the same cap out grind every week. I don't think I'll be able to completely drop this game because of that investment unless something freaking amazing comes out that is better than the pain of staying here. That said I'm still looking for a decent game to play when I'm tired of this mess.

Just take a break man. I know guys that play the old COD and didn't pay for maps and they still play the same game over and over again. When they get bored, they take a break. That's all there is to it.

It sounds corny but getting into role playing can help make the game more interesting. You could interview CEOs about changes in the game or fits. Squad up with a group and run specific fits that play off of each other in unexpected ways. I like to join battles solo and then jump into squads, you never know who you'll meet or what you'll hear.
Find some new blood and try to help them enjoy the game by showing them what you like and tell them what you do for fun. Go to the EVE forums and read their problems and laugh at their tears. Try and find an EVE pilot and just see what happens. Use your least favorite weapon or a fit that is difficult and try to make it work and them come here and provide feedback on how it could improve.
Try and scam someone or actually infiltrate a corp with the mission of corp theft. Try to bring down a corporation from the inside. Go into FW and do some selective griefing for the specific purpose of extracting tears. Talk smack on the forums and try to start a war with another corp. I hope some of these suggestions help. There is things to do if you use your imagination.
If you don't play EVE and you have a decent computer you could befriend a pilot, use their 21 day free trial code and have them give you the PLEX or ISK when you pay the first month just to see what all the fuss is about. That is 81 days of game time for $20. I would offer you that deal but I have to let my subscription go because I have to take care of my grandmother because she has Alzheimer's, they don't have internet or even cable. At least she is sweet and kind.

DUST and EVE share history so any lore/history in EVE transfers directly to DUST. Poor attitudes and pessimistic outlooks hurt us more that any thing else. Try being positive and it will make a difference.

I'm surprised it took you this long.I've been bored for quite some time now.I still play,but not with the fervor that I once had,nor feel the need to cap out every week.
There's no meta game in Dust,therefor the only reason why a lot of people keep playing so hard is for their KDR and to spec into as much **** as they can.
At this point with the snail's pace development of the game,it has now become a placeholder until Destiny and/or The Division come out. |

Your right, poor attitudes do hurt, but an ill ability to see out of a shadow hurts more. Try looking at the OP from the angle of the average player.
