but yea, I agree, the haters can keep on hating...and visiting forums on a game they don't play. Dust will keep moving right along. i really hope dust is a success ME too.
It will be nice to say: I was there from the beginning.... Sitting there on my 100 mill SP XD yes there are a few more players that are logging in to Dust.
the real question is it real or temporary ??
i.e. shooter MAG just died. militia tanker scrubs getting a few kills before 1.8??
MAG vets just chilling before Planetside 2 ? folks chilling before Thief.??
folks chilling before Destiny??
???

Same old same old people. If CCP was a publicly traded stock they'd be hammered. you've also shown that you don't understand how eve offline works
So how does it work???...lol!!
BEFORE when there were 60 MILLION PS3 sold there were 9000+ peak number Dust player counts.
THEN when there were 70 MILLION PS3 sold there were LESS than 9000+ peak, LESS than 8000+ peak, LESS than 7000+ peak....hell even LESS than 6000+ peak.
RIGHT NOW!!! when theres MORE than 80 MILLION PS3 sold http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-11-06-playstation-3-sales-hit-80-million
And yet theres LESS than 5000 players????.....lol!!!
TANK 514.........
I play a game for fun and not SP. Build 1.7 fails in that.
Hopefully 1.8 fixes a few things but who really knows??
What I can tell you is Destiny, The Division, PS2, Thief, The Witcher 3, Fallout 4 , etc. all look like fun.

I'm not sure what's more pathetic - you tooting your horn on games that don't have gameplay footage (Fallout) or wasting your time on a video game forum advertising for even more generic game's than DUST (The Division). Though I must admit Shadows of Mordor looks sweet
The first to insults is the first to lose the argument.
Whats pathetic is someone needing gameplay footage to legitimize that they are haveing fun?? LOL!!
I just sample Dust now since its no longer any fun unless I want to go FOTM tank spam or RR.

If only CCP had those problems
Problems: too many days off at CCP. Not listening to feedback to the point theres threads in feedback about CCP not updateing/listening to weekly feedback.
We ask for one thing and CCP gives out something else..i.e. we asked for new maps, guns, game modes, vehicles and CCP gives us a LOL!!
Dev1: playerbase asking for new maps, guns, gamemodes, vehicles, weapons in multipage threads with thousands of likes. Dev2: meh!! what else?
Dev1: well, theres a single post with no likes asking about retooled supply depos. Dev2: Holy Mother of Wormhole KITTENS!!!! get on that right MEOWWW!!!!
And we got retooled SUPPLY DEPOS...B! A! H!!!!!!!!
Repeat for turning the sexy female clone walk into the terminator walk.
Oh and changeing the scouts passive scan from 20m to 16m since that was INSTA HOTYFIXED!! You know since scouts are so OP with 20m scan.....bah!!!

Wait! Do you think those three examples out of many were made up just to be cynical??
Sadly those three examples all are real.
Thousands asking for new guns, maps, weapons, game modes, suits, vehicles, etc. Folks asking about increasing the per game numbers from 24 V 24 to 32 V 32
1 single post , ONE single post, ONE!! SINGLE!!! post!!!! asked about better VISUALS!!! i.e. make the game LOOK BETTER!!
And what did CCP do???
The good:
They made it look better in the E3 build.
The BAD: They dropped 24 versus 24 players and delayed or broke most other things since a boost to graphics created a hit to performance in most other areas.
The UGLY: Folks starting to get tired of 16 versus 16.

Partly because of 1.7, mostly because of 1.8, and again partly because all of the new games like Ghosts and Battlefield 4 are finally starting to get old/boring for some people, while Dust is an everchanging always expanding game.
1.MAG died so theres a good probability that Dust is seeing an influx of players from that defunct game??
Dust expanding??
Numbers baseline: Ps3 at 70 million equals 4000 peak dust numbers.
Ps3 at 80 million equals 15% growth in PS3 numbers sold.
4000 plus 15% (600) needs to equal 4600 for Dust baseline of 4000 at 70m to equal 80m PS3.
So if Dust were a constant 4600 peak then its stable.
Dust growth means a constant rise above 4600 from 5000 or more.
So is Dust growing, stable or dropping player counts??

And we had a large influx of MAG players since MAG is now DEAD....duh!! Sorry but in past three months theres only that single peak of 4500 due to the 3X SP event and other than that its 4000 or below.
Past six months? sorry but still no improvement versus the numbers from six months ago.
Past year same story.

Past six months? sorry but still no improvement versus the numbers from six months ago. Past year same story. games like MAG are certainly growing the player numbers, but the upslope started right at 1.7 I don't remember thinking 1.7 was all that awesome, so i'm thinking as time goes by more and more people who have been playing some other title for 2 months think to themselves "you know, I've got a prototype suit worth of skills sitting in dust..."
Yeah that plus a 3X SP event but the downside of that is that after a week the same folks look at Destiny, Division, Witcher, et all and they leave Dust another two or more months to go play those games.
The problem being if there are good games that folks like every two months then the problem becomes that those folks play a game for two months and instead of comeing back to dust they instead play another new game for another two months.
Then if they come back after six months they go huh?? that little bit is all thats changed in six months and they either leave for another six months or they do the upgrade to PS4 and thats it for that player sampling anymore of dust PS3.??
