Egonz4 The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 64	Posted - 2014.02.27 05:44:00 - [1] - Quote Lately I've been getting really worried about this game. With all the next gen hits coming out, people are gonna start forgetting about Dust. Lately Dust has seemed like it hasn't been going anywhere, and I'm worried that it might dwindle away. Don't get me wrong I still think Dust is the best game out there, but these next few months have to make Dust a new game. I really do hope and believe that when 1.8 hits it will be the start of a new Dust. Ccp saber wing said he was more excited about Dusts future than ever before, which gets me excited and hopefull for the future. CCP has to start changing this game into the Dust 514 that we know it can be. This next year will be the deciding fate of Dust, it will either rise to be a well known game or dwindle away...no better way to start off the new Dust than with a full respec! :D MASTER OF THE FLAYLOCK
The Attorney General 2258	Posted - 2014.02.27 05:47:00 - [2] - Quote Of course CCP will say they are excited about where the game is going. They also called dust a AAA title. Adjust your expectations accordingly. Mr. Hybrid Vayu.

Marc Rime 289	Posted - 2014.02.27 06:08:00 - [4] - Quote The next few months or the next build or whatever has supposedly decided everything for over a year already. However, if that had been the case, the game would either be a huge success or dead and abandoned by now, which it isn't. There's no reason to worry... but don't get your hopes too high for 1.8 either - even if it turns out to be a really good update, that's all it is, an update.
Malkai Inos Onikanabo Brigade Caldari State 1146	Posted - 2014.02.27 06:22:00 - [5] - Quote We've had "the next big dust killer" come and go so many times now with no long term impact on player numbers that i'm pretty sure the only ones holding the power to kill dust are CCP themselves. Time will tell... You can take a benign object, -you can take a cheeseburger and deconstruct it to its source...

Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 7043	Posted - 2014.02.27 07:17:00 - [8] - Quote Considering that CCP Rouge (our Executive Producer with a lot of years experience) has been shaking things up recently and with the new 1.8 stats being posted far ahead of time for our feedback, things are starting to look promising.

DUST Fiend OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 11635	Posted - 2014.02.27 07:48:00 - [10] - Quote I've just lost my ability to really care or get excited for this game anymore. Not even in a bad way, despite my somewhat frequent rage at this game, just kind of a cold neutrality at this point. I don't care if this game suddenly becomes amazing and fantastic, nor do I care if they shut off the servers tomorrow. I just don't care anymore. Videos / Fiction Closed Beta Vet; Incubus Pilot

Joel II X Dah Gods O Bacon 1320	Posted - 2014.02.27 08:21:00 - [12] - Quote I know a few people saying that 1.8 will either make or break Dust. I just don't get it. Because new suits are coming? Unless you're a logistics player, I just don't get it. I'll still stick by for a few. Although, if my corp mates leave, I leave. Don't care about anyone else.

Quik Django Nos Nothi 17	Posted - 2014.02.27 09:11:00 - [16] - Quote Oh, we get this nonsense every now and again - AC4 is going to destroy dust; GTA V is going to destroy dust; PS4 is going to destroy dust; these new PS4 games are going to destroy dust. When are people going to give up the doom-mongering? I guess never. It's not going to happen, people. Dust will plod along like it always has done. Yes, we'll take hits when big stuff comes out but the game will continue. We'll gain a few here or there, like when the MAG servers shut down and maybe people will return when there's big updates or exciting stuff happening, like 1.8 or Fanfest. The next few months may well 'decide the future of dust' but the same is true for any few months at any point during the game's development and for that matter any game run as a service.

COVERT SUBTERFUGE PSU GHOST SYNDICATE DARKSTAR ARMY 407	Posted - 2014.02.27 09:30:00 - [17] - Quote The ups and downs of the game's development are all part and parcel of being part of a work in progress like this. DUST 514 will either be the game everyone always hoped for or it will be taken from TQ and scrapped and I'll be here till the end to find out which path it ends up taking. I have confidence in the new EP and am hopeful and optimistic about the game's future. Shock horror! I know optimism is totally out of fashion on these forums.

Spectral Clone Dust2Dust. Top Men. 1418	Posted - 2014.02.27 10:00:00 - [18] - Quote Not the first time I have heard this one... Dust will never be a huge AAA blockbuster game, so dont expect it, ever. It will always be a niche game with a medium size community. Drop it like its hat.
Auris Lionesse Capital Acquisitions LLC Renegade Alliance 287	Posted - 2014.02.27 10:22:00 - [19] - Quote I've been worried about this game since I started playing. Missing pc, eve interaction, player market, and an even number of suits and weapons for each race. The ps2 graphics, recurring bugs, glitches and crashing. This game should have betad on ps4.

Time will tell... You think the numbers are good? How many new playersmare people making alts to farm isk? Considering we have no form of advertisement, no methods of gaining vast numbers of new players, we have been pretty constant. "Good Numbers" are entirely relative. The fact of the matter is people have been saying they are leaving for months, yet our numbers are about the same, so we are replenishing those numbers from somewhere, I even met a new guy in public, he'd been playing for 2 hours, he was enjoying it, but didn't quite understand.

While this is true, it kind of upsets me that people almost seem to imply that other games don't also improve as time goes on. Sure, you may need to shell out another $60 here and there, but you also receive a whole new updated and more technologically superior (in most cases, at least) game. So, while it's cool that DUST is free and is always being updated, it's not fair to imply that other games don't receive similar love from their devs as well. DUST isn't the only game that gets updated. Videos / Fiction Closed Beta Vet; Incubus Pilot
Egonz4 The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 67	Posted - 2014.02.27 15:35:00 - [26] - Quote Iron Wolf Saber wrote: understatement of the year... Well first off thx for commenting on my post :D Secondly it's not much of an understatement, all I'm saying is that if Dust doesn't become a better game within this next year... It will probably start losing its player base. People are still playing Dust cuz of the hopeful future it brings. And after barely getting the stuff promised at fanfest, 2014 better be a great Dust year. MASTER OF THE FLAYLOCK

We one day should have the same amount of Dust players there is EvE players, is what I meant.

You may switch gears to PS2 but players come and go as they do in all games. DUST is a slow burn kind of game that suits a particular kind of player. It doesn't hold your hand and is outright hostile for the rookies. It's not for everyone and will probably never be really big. For the people that like this kind of game it's the one you return to and play while waiting for the next big flashy but short lived title. Once it contains PVE and a better new player experience then CCP will turn on the marketing machine to capture that wider audience that can't survive in the current environment.

That is the big opportunity to "decide everything." Pretty much this. I have heard Planetside 2 being touted by many of its fanbois as the true Dust killer, but the fact of the matter is that this has been brought up even before Dust got released back in May 14, 2013. Hell, even before its transition to open beta back in January on that same year. Same thing with Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc. Even MAG was once touted as a potential Dust killer during the early part of closed beta. But as of January 2014 Mag shut down its servers for good but by then many of the MAG players migrated here to Dust and settled down. SVER True Blood [STB] are mostly MAG vets as one example. But in honor of MAG, some Dust players who were lucky to be here early on have in their possession the blueprints for the "MAG Tribute" suits. It's interesting that even though MAG was the supposed competitor to Dust, CCP honored the game with the MAG Tribute suits. At least MAG will be remembered. o7 Many more games in general (even some that were not even on the PS3) were already brought up as potential Dust killers, but so far after an entire year since release Dust is still around and chugging along. My point? Ignore the doom and gloom. It's the same ** just a different day. I have seen the same thing in other genres. Microsoft Flight Simulator was believed to crush Laminar Research's X-Plane, but MSFS is no more. In fact, MS shut down the studio and now Lockheed Martin bought the rights to the simulator and turned it into a training tool instead called Prepar3D. On the plus side, Lockheed Martin has hired the original Aces Studios team to develop the new software and thus Prepar3D is also compatible with any of the Microsoft Flight Simulator X addons. But Lockheed is not competing against Laminar Research since Lockheed is not the in business of making commercial sims. EA's Earth & Beyond was considered the definite Eve Online killer back in 2003 after EA laughed at CCP and rejected the idea of Eve Online after CCP originally asked EA to publish their game. A few years later, EA's Earth & Beyond shut down its servers and many of the displaced players migrated to Eve Online. Even CCP hired people who use to work for EA such as CCP Rouge and many others. EA never forgave CCP for that. You see this everywhere in every genre. People say that Game "X" will crush Game "Y" but then Game "X" shuts down or doesn't do as well anymore or people lose interest in it.

DUST isn't the only game that gets updated. True, and don't get me wrong, I are ordered destiny and am going to be playing the beta soon. The halo joke I made was more about bungie, I mean it is basically halo, I can see the elites and grunts and jackals and hunters. But I'm excited for a few mechanics and pve. (PvP looks awful) There has been a trend lately with these triple A titles, they aren't delivering on some aspects of their games or coping out. GTA 5 still hasn't added heists for multiplayer (and I doubt they ever will) BF4 messed up with their dlc and then added all the bf3 maps.....great.....that's new. Cod did okay with their dlc but let's face it, its cod. The only good thing about ghosts is extinction which is actually pretty fun, but with all these games you have to shell out more if you want more. "Buy the exclusive entry pack and get access to the dlc's plus rare guns just 50 bucks more!" I'll still get a few games, and I'll enjoy them. I plan on enjoying destiny, but when I beat it, or it gets old, or I have to buy more crap to keep progressing I'm going back to dust, hell I'll probably be switching between them anyway.
