It at least kinda makes us feel like the game isn't just a fun project that will just be left to die as it has been. But as for a vivid game plan, or direct place DUST is gearing to go for, there's not anything for us to really dig in for the long haul about. Just small things added to an incomplete game that still doesn't have anything in it to do beside grind, complain, and drink tears. (Which by the way I'm trying to cut down on sodium intake so the I can't even enjoy tears like I used too. And don't even suggest diet. How dare you -.-)

So I've got less than 48 hours and limited funds not already set aside for necessities. Do I drop the $200 on the PS3 and stick around, or save it up for a PS4?

you should never buy a system just for one game, and especially not a broken game like this, save your money, save for a ps4 or something more worthwhile than this dying game

Yea that's the reasoning that's sticking for me sadly. I still like DUST and if I had a PS3 already I would definitely stick around. But it's just not a smart financial move to buy one simply for this game. I don't want to say goodbye but I simply don't have the cash for 2 systems :(

Best of luck to CCP and you all though. Not biomassing my character just in case I see DUST 514 of PS4. I grinded out about 30mil SP and a half a bil of ISK over the past year. I'd be sitting at a decent start if it does go there. Wish I could stay.

I think your money would better be spent elsewhere. That being said, if you don't need your ISK anymore, I'd be more than willing to take some of it off your hands.

Worth every penny because the MH series is just amazing, but after playng through it, building a suit that I cold use basically anywhere, and learning all the timings of the new minsters, it started to become stale, lackluster, and repetitive. I have not touched my Wii since. I don't regret buying it just for the one game, but thats because it was a quality game that gave me 900+ hours of entertainment. Don't buy a PS3 just for this game. Its simply not worth it (yet) I am here to ask you one question, and one question only: EXPLOSIONS? THAT SENTENCE HAD TOO MANY SYLLABLES! APOLOGIZE!

Have fun, maybe put in a small SSD (128gb/ 64gb) all an all that is not a big investment for a game you have spent a lot of time on and that is definitly going places! I have to agree though that playing the same maps, same gamemodes, same glitches over and over gets tedious.. a break is a good solution to that especially with the fixes that do happen often! I'm sticking around for: Racial variants, new weapon types, the large maps that show intention for a different type of gameplay, the huge scala available to try out, the hotfixes and content updates, the 20+ (a lot more...) people I love playing with, the new players that come in to the game and are very eager to make it, the players that are in it for the long haul and get excited about every skill point, the player-skill potential, building my own legend, etc. Hope you do stick around! 07 Hello, Worlds!

Atiim Living Like Larry Schwag 4681	Posted - 2014.02.14 22:04:00 - [21] - Quote If two or more of the following apply to you: DUST 514 may be dying, but I still really enjoy it. DUST 514 is not the only PS3 (or PS2 depending on the model) title that I own. The PS4 doesn't interest you. You will be able to purchase a PS4 as well down the road. You have tons of investment (15-20mil+ SP) into this game. You have tons of friends in DUST 514. Then yes, you should purchase a PS3. Uprising 1.8 seems promising, and nobody can tell that there will one distinct FoTM this time, and one of this game's biggest aches and pains (TTK) is being addressed. And everyone's role will actually be centered around their role, as opposed to roles with fail bonuses (Shield Recharge bonus on Gallente Assault suits) or the "Jack-Of-All-Trades, master at all" frames (Logistics). Scouts will be scouting, Logis will be medics, Heavies will be point defense, Assaults will be assaulting, and the Commando will be the true omni-soldier suit. Sadly however., we all know CCP. They have what is quite possibly the most incompetent game design staff I have ever seen. Completely ignoring warnings of the entire playerbase, and managing to do things that completely defy logic in everyway possible. Every update manages to bring us 1 step forward, but 3 steps back. They seem to miss serious and important threads, while also trolling in others. And don't get me started about their Software Q&A (or lack thereof). My bittervet syndrome and fanboyish tunnelvision aside, I have a gut feeling that this game is going to become fun again. If I were you, I'd follow that gut feeling. Besides, if it turns out that DUST doesn't work out well, you can always re-sell your PS3. -HAND Want to know how to make a strike-through? [s[Example[/s] Now go my Forum Warriors.

Which is just such a useful piece of information to have. Stuff and things. Could be an epic Beer Pong tourney. Could be work on Dust. Could be flip books of CCP trolling everyone.

With CCPs strict, "the community only needs to know things 25 minutes before they occur" mentality, people have no choice but to either: 1) Stop playing the game and troll on the forums 2) Stop playing and saying farewell to the community 3) Continue to play for what the game could be should be or will be 4) Live in complete denial that things are as bad as they truly are I know, it's a F2P game, we can't complain. If we had paid $60 for it at a store, we could, but we aren't entitled because its F2P. Well, most of us have pissed away a considerable amount on what could be, and, its getting really annoying that things are taking a year+ to make it in to the game. CCP, just tell us what the hell you're doing already. Stop with this shadowy presence, go "This is what we are doing, this is how long we think it'll take, but, we'll keep you updated as we progress for a more definitive timeframe"(And actually keep us updated on the forums, not everywhere BUT the forums) instead of, "Yea, we're doing things, SoonGäó, EventuallyGäó, Maybe if we're luckyGäó".
