I've been on a bf4 binge for sometime, so I decided to play Dust for an hour....or try.
It was still the same game I devoted the last year of my life to, but it doesn't make me giggle anymore.
Maybe it was that I was lagging even with a 50mb/s connection, or maybe it was the loading fittings glitch that happened over and over.
However, I think the biggest problem for me was that I lost the drive. I have a good 300,000,000 ISK, 30,000,000 SP, and nothing to really work for. I have everything prototype and spending 1,250,000 SP just to have 3% higher damage doesn't seem worth it to me. It's the grind. It got to me. I feel that the entire skill system is wrong.
I don't like how one level costs exponentially less than the previous (or at least it feels that way). Honestly, why go past op5prof1 on ANYTHING when the weapon or suit will likely get nerfed....
And now that I'm on suits, they take 1 straight month of boosters and grinding to earn. ONE SUIT that will get nerfed if it is any use at all.
I'd like it better if I could log on every day and spend a small amount of SP for a very small bonus to something...ANYTHING. Literally everything you do should have an associated skill. And multipliers should not work as they do to calculate SP costs. There should be 100 levels possible for every skill. On a lower tier skill, costs could be 15,000 SP/lvl, so to max a skill is 1,500,000 SP. The bonus would be small, but it'd make me feel better logging on and putting that hours worth of grind into SOMETHING. Then every increment of 20 points in a skill, or 33, or whatever, a certain new item of that type is made available in a different tier...Or maybe get rid of tiers altogether and have the power of an item come from the SP you put in it (tiercide).
Anyway, I'm sick of the grind and if there MUST be a grind, I'd like it to feel more...like Candycrush.
Charlotte O'Dell is the highest level unicorn!

It's because I wasn't trying to shotgun you in the face isn't it? I'll make sure to hunt you down next time I seen you online. Oh and if you aren't going to use it I'll take your isk off your hands... Just kidding, but seriously... |

I don't know what level of Candy Crush you're on but that game stole my soul and is now the mindless grind I hate. X(

i had a good bf4 session last night. i have switched to hardcore rush where TTK is very short and there's no radar. Rush is perfect for that because you make contact quick and it's more predictable than TDM. if some idiot spawns on you and tries to be your butt buddy you can just kill him with friendly fire. the quality of players tho is usually higher in hardcore. you see more ppl dropping health and ammo and actually running tactics. dust actually made me better somehow at BF, i have better discipline than i used to. dust has made me really good at picking my fights in other FPS.
u can ban the troll out of the forums but u can't ban the forums out of the troll.

Somehow, DUST awards team tactics better.
Yup, there's the occasional 12 year old that starts whupping my 41-year-old butt, but they only kill me or my team...they don't win. We cost less, run around more, and still collect similar number of WP.
I think that some of the grind in getting things to the top is what dissuades the impetuous youth--just a guess, of course.
Hi! Gosh, I've missed you...with every bullet, plasma shot, rail gun, and missile.
