I know you weren't. Trust me, I'm with you. I'm glad to see Dust growing. I just wanted to say that before anybody else replies with that typical rebuttal. It's good to see Dust growing after seeing so many threads claiming it would die.

Usually patience is something that I am very limited in. I have very little tolerance for things which I regard as extreme stupidity and slowness. However, Dust is something to me which is challenging. It's the figuring out new ways of how to beat FOTM builds others use, how to get around new patch OPness (like recently with vehicles and new weapons). Combine that with being able to play with people from Australia, Europe, and all over the US, and hearing other player's stories over the mic about weather, or what happened to them halfway around the world earlier that morning or the day before. This is what makes this game fun to me.
It's a trap! In this patch we can't repel firepower of that magnitude! - Admiral Ackbar would say in ambush w Nyain San

Oh, and some color.
Color up them maps.
But other then The regular imbalances that are regularly fixed, and a few missing patches of equipment, DUST could succeed.
Or fail. Depends on how CCP gets things ironed out, and how soon that is.
DUST is a half decent game.
Be happy its free.

It's a good sign that the over all player base is more active. That said, I see so many npc corp nubs and no names i never heard of.
In order of importance in dust
1. Community/corp/alliance leaders and contributors - They spend so much time recruiting, organizing events, posting, trolling, making tutorial, and managing gamer nerds (herding cats)
2. Players to pay to play this game. Dust has been a bad game most of its existence so people that have paid has done so with hope and faith for the long term. That or you like fused nads and you are just a nad spaming *****.
3. Players that play in PC or FW matches -
4. The casuals that pad all our stats in pubs
5 New players - The future and life blood of dust. Stick around we are all hopeless fanbois.

Dust is just like EVE in many ways. It's hard and brutal and sometimes unfair. It's a game not for everyone. But it also has amazing depth, and future potential unlike any other FPS. And despite the problems and bugs we deal with it is fun and it is addicting.
It is also like EVE in the fact that Dust is a marathon game. It has lasting staying potential most other games could only dream of. EVE struggled for many years and the naysayers always said it was going to die. Now almost 11 years later EVE is still growing, still pushing the boundaries and still breaking records, such as the titan slaughter event a few days ago.
I have faith in CCP to do the same amazing things with Dust. Yes they are slow and sometimes it is frustrating, but they are a small company so cut them some slack about their turtle pace. They do think outside the box, and they make two of my favorite games I have ever played. Through the good times and the bad, I will always be a CCP junkie.

When you log into Dust the number listed for tranquility is both EVE and Dust players combined.
The EVE offline website breaks it down by game and has some historic data and graphs as well.

Also when I can walk up a 2" curb without hitting the jump button I will be thrilled. It's starting to feel close though. 1.8 will be awesome.

But if someone logs ten alts in one after the other to get the continuous bonus it counts each alt.

Honestly,I think the only reason why more players have been on lately is because BF4 is still broken for PS3,COD is still COD,PS4 and X-COCKS One still don't have any games worth spending $400+ for,and people might be getting bored with GTA V.
Even though Titanfall looks like the typical COD-like lobby shooter,It's definitely going to pull more than a few people away from Dust,at least for a while.Then there's the Destiny Beta that's coming in the summer.Dust better really have it's **** together by then. |

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.

We're seeing a lot of old players coming back.
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.

My clutch of SP? What ever do you mean Nardwuar? Compared to the extensive list of problems on BF4 that makes it severly way more broken than Dust, I will be fine. You, on the other hand, keep returning to the forum of a "broken" game that you don't play no more. Go away Gran Torino. Smoke a J, play your BF4

Blah blah play a finished game blah blah DUST sucks...and yet, you are still here. We get it, you're just super butt devastated and can't handle being part of a work in progress. I've seen many impatient scrubs who need everything clean and pristine right NAO else they can't handle the game. I'm sorry that your awesome finished game doesn't entertain you enough...I mean if I had a superior title, I would feel like quite the no life ****** coming to a forum for a game I no longer play. Are you just venting misdirected anger? If life is getting you down, you might just need some serotonin. Open the window and get some fresh air.

Honestly- you guys are splitting hairs. Both games have problems. Michael has a point however. Where you find fun is all you need.
Regardless... Dust growth is flatlined. TBH, I would love to see growth, but I think it would be a double edged sword because I'll bet you dollars for donuts tranquility couldn't handle explosive growth and the lag and issues we see would only be way worse.

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

Seriously, I don't respect anybody coming to another game's forums trying to ruin the fun and dedication players have for that said game.
If you want to see it's growth then stop playing that same old violin you been playing in this thread. It's not like games like PS2 are doing so wonderfully better. It's not like BF4 is in a state of near perfection.
We don't poop on others lawns and we support the game we love. Don't come over here doing the same. I don't give a damn about what other games are doing...I'm not playing those games. I'm playing Dust 514 and I support it.

CCP hasn't even started advertising this game AFAIK. I certainly haven't seen the ad they showcased at FF last year. The game simply needs more time in the oven and when they can boast PvE, full racial parity in gear and equipment, open market etc and have existing content reasonably balanced with improved NPE then we will start to see growth.
I've always seen DUST's potential like the story of the turtle and the hare. People harp on about how much better X game is...and yes its flashy and has nice graphics but D514 is was more indepth than all of them and once it gets closer levels of polish these 'hares' won't have that advantage. When D514 and games like BF and CoD are on more equal fotting in the looks department...watch the turtle clean up the race.

1.8 won't be enough to save Dust514, and 6000 players wont be brought to sustain CCP's 10 year plan for this game. Once April comes I'm buying a PS4 for The Elder Scrolls online and never looking back on Dust514 or my ps3. And I've spent nearly $200 on this game, so I've got more invested in this game than most people.

Maybe If CCP decide to port it to PS4 then I might play it again, that is If Sony doesn't pullits support for this game and its servers to free up more server space for the traffic that Next-Gen online titles are certain to attract. The last estimate I heard was about 50k+ players playing DUST. The figures on eve-offline are only active users. Many people only play a few hours per week, but still may be buying boosters which helps fund the game.
Best PvE idea ever!

I don't know if the same will hold true of Dust, but one of the things I have found with EVE Online is that players leave for awhile and then come back. The fact that Dust will change over time, new things will be added, etc. gives a powerful incentive for a player that got bored six months ago to come back. And their character and SP and assets will be waiting for them. The core game will still be there. They might have to learn some new tricks, but it is still the same game.
I recently returned to EVE online and my SP and assets were there waiting for me to get back to playing. The EVE universe is niche. It is not for everyone. Many if not most of those who sign up for either game will decide it is not for them. But a few will be hooked. They might get bored after awhile, and go play the next big FPS. But then, when they get bored of that, they will come back. It is true that we have an incomplete game. But some of that is lack of resources.
CCP did the right thing and made sure that Dust wasn't pay to win. In the closed beta, some of the AUR items had better fitting requirements than equivalent proto gear. We threw a fit and now there is no equipment I am aware of that you can buy with AUR that is better than what you can buy with ISK. You can use real money to accelerate SP gain, but one thing that is easily forgotten is that SP gain reaches a point of limited return on investment. You can only use so much SP at a time. SP put into AR does me no good if I am running a RR.
The point I am making is that EVE has managed to grow year after year. I have faith that, while CCP will certainly make mistakes, they will FIX those mistakes, and Dust will become a game that slowly grows year after year.

That broken mess of BF4 is that way -------> Don't let the door hit you on the way out Nardwuar... yup and its atleast a finished game. still waiting on the next update to save dust? seriously drop this BS of weekly sp cap and maybe dust will get over 4k players on a regular bases. get out of here we dont want ur crap dust is awesome just accept it already

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-millionAnd 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.

Once April comes I'm buying a PS4 for The Elder Scrolls online and never looking back on Dust514 or my ps3. And I've spent nearly $200 on this game, so I've got more invested in this game than most people, and yet I've no longer got any patience for CCP or hope left for Dust514. Maybe If CCP decide to port it to PS4 then I might play it again, that is If Sony doesn't pullits support for this game and its servers to free up more server space for the traffic that Next-Gen online titles are certain to attract. The last estimate I heard was about 50k+ players playing DUST. The figures on eve-offline are only active users. Many people only play a few hours per week, but still may be buying boosters which helps fund the game. Thats simply wild optimism with no real evidence to support it. And it isn't 50,000 active Dust Players, that a mix of EVE and Dust Players who are all playing on the tranquility server. And as for your statement that there may still be many more people buying booster packs, rubbish. Why do you think CCP is suddenly offering so many discounts and special offers on aurumn, fitted packs, and even boosters since removing the packs which contained BPOs. The simple fact is very few people are buying packs or aurumn because they do not offer the same value as the previous ones which included BPOs. And I should know, as I gave bought one of every pack in this game which included BPOs simply because they contained a BPO, including the Starter Pack, Mercenary, Veteran, Elite and even the Templar Pack through a person I knew in-game.

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??

This is silly. As far as battlefield being finished, sure, it's battlefield alright. I could play that game for about 2 weeks before I got so bored I had to log back into dust, and I was division 1 in tanks. It was a lot of shiny, horribly stupid players, and very lacking game play.
Curious that you would say having a lot of sp is a crutch, considering a rookie out of the academy can get into a decent role that can still kill 21mil sp players. Max scrabler operation is max scrambler operation. He can be an effective soldier. In battlefield you have the typical keep playing and leveling till you get the best stuff. I hate that. Oh boy I hope I get a good gun this level, oh crap....its a piece of sh!t, awesome now grind until next level. Then again, there is less meaning in battlefield, you don't have to worry about if you die or not, you don't have to worry about loosing your tank or helicopter, you don't have to worry about winning or loosing or anything really. That's fun for some people, I find it boring. too much shiny, not enough content.
Oh also why are they having player appreciation month again? Its not cause they fu*ked up right?
Seriously though, this isn't about "the patch that will save dust" stop being an idiot. This is a patch that's taking dust in the right direction. When dust is much better in the coming months and years I hope players like you don't return, I hope you stay with your shiny until they release bf5 and bf6 while we are launching massive land and space campaigns across nullsec blowing up space ships and actually doing something. |

It was reaching 4k because of the SP event and there are new players everyday meeting one now doesn't mean much. It most likely got 4.5k because it a little after the SP event and it is a weekend, if the pop reaches 4.5 k the next week and the following week then it might be experience growth.
2 months ago 3500 was a peak. now it's an off-time. i'm happy about that. |

trust me, dust is heading the same way bf is going. ie basic gear is decent enough to win 1 v 1's and sp/shiny unlocks don't give much power. btw let me know when you make it top 10 for division 3(state). just accept it, you can't improve without base set down and dust just doesn't have it. maybe after that 10 year plan, and even after 10 years i still don't like EVE one bit, so don't get your hopes up for a large player base or things that require it, IE match maker. my personal favorite game for a few years running was urban terror but times change and things get better and worse.
i love how talking about a different game stirs you guys up, like there is nothing but dust when dust has taken other games to make up its design. fanboys will be fanboys till they are the only ones left.

This may or may not be of interest but I use the Eve client a lot to manage DUST University which gives me options like you cant do in the Dust client.
Such as Employment History and date of Birth of a Merc plus a couple of other things.
The number of fresh new clones joining the Uni within 48hrs, is steadily increasing. I'm seeing a lot of long dormant Mercs returning to the game and joining us.
And following a fairly intensive information blitz via corp mail from the Eve client to all new members over the last three weeks, I'm happy to report that my monthly inactivity cull of players from the corp has returned its lowest percentage of kicked players in nearly a year.
And while I think talk of dominance is slightly premature I've been noticing an upward trend since 1.7.

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.

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.??

It is a next Gen version of battle front. Without all the content. Its fun and addictive, but that's about it. All we really have is glitches bugs exploits and promises. This game won't match battlefront, as long as there's no space dogfights ala BF2 and SWBF Elite Squadron

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-millionAnd 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!! Not to legitimize if they're having fun. It's to check if the gameplay's any good. Take your Fallout for eg. Taking Bethedsa (or whatever it is)'s track record, and you can be ceratin that Fallout will have dull combat. Now take Shadows of Mordor. Now that's interesting I just sample Dust now since its no longer any fun unless I want to go FOTM tank spam or RR No problems with that though, but I don't see the need to advertise even worse games. Use better examples, which , at the moment, are really hard to come by. As for PS2, it remains to be seen, as I don't believe it to be a system seller, unless there's a MASSIVE advertising push, ala Titanfall.
PS, I still laugh at those who claimed Defiance would kill DUST

Defiance was a fun game. However, I never really understood the whole it is going to kill dust thing either as it made no sense. Defiance was mostly a PvE environment with a small scatter shot of p vs p. It was a completely different game. As I have said to the uber fanboys and the ultimate haters, Dust will be fine for awhile. It reminds me of mag. It is a niche game with a super dedicated fan base regardless of size. That alone, should carry it for quite some time as long as CCP is making a profit.

The only way is up when your at the bottom. Marketing really needs more funding IMO. The art department too. Are we going to have the same skins on dropsuits three years in? |

+1 Positive post is positive.
I think your are mostly correct. I wouldn't use the word dominance but I would use the words "more competitive". I am in the same boat and I hope the trend continues upward.

These people play regardless if there is an event or not.
The difference is they play more.
Before the 1.4 patch we had consistent high server density without the massive noticeable peak times we have now. People just played more... They would log on and have a hard time getting off the game until they had to goto sleep.
The Experience event's will actually get people to log on and stay on for a bit... Most people regret it because DUST is near torture to play in majority... The Lag, Rubber banding, hit registry.. poor matchmaking.... terrible spawn points.. Un-competitive maps... Really shine through in those events.
People play DUST for roughly an hour, get pissed off and log off and or go play something else. DUST isn't fun right now unless watered down with alot of social interaction. |

If you look at the monthly chart, the period of Jan 22 to Jan 29 was up overall, likely due to the 3X sp event. The numbers for the last 2 days are back around average.
I don't see any growth, but it's too soon to tell... the next few weekends (Friday - Saturday) will tell us if anybody new decided to stick around. Personally, I doubt it, because the NPE sucks, and CCP is not doing anything about it, publicly at least.
