Why I love DUST 514:
Minmatar!
I love the Matari race a lot. I never really cared for lore but over time I saw people showing affinity and pride in certain races so I started to do some digging. I was amazed by how much the Minmatar race suits me and the parallels I can loosely draw from their history of being enslaved and breaking free. Aside from the lore, I unknowlingly used and loved the MD, RE, repair tool and etc as staples before I knew they were Matari tech and the mantra of hit & run subterfuge tactics appeals to my inherrent tactical mindset. I love the look of all the dropsuits and gear and put my 33 mil SP main on the back burner to make COVERT, my Matari pride and joy.
Lore in general
The lore in New Eden is awesome, the races, their history etc is really interesting and rich.
Being a scout
I was a logi since E3 build (bar Codex where I was a DS pilot) but when I got into Minmatar I decided to roll scout first and have fallen in love with the class. I will be a Matari scout moving forward!
Skill training
Oh man, I'm a dopamine junky! I love skilling **** up and advancing my merc. I love the wide variety of skills that help you play the way that you like to play. I also like how a player can fully spec into vehicle and rarely even put his feet on the ground. I remember an early interview with CMO David Reid where he talked about how a merc could become a dropship specialist. I REALLY loved the idea of playing an FPS but not really playing an FPS in the traditional pew pew sense..
Dropsuit customisation
I love how you can set up your suits to play to your strengths, augment your weaknesses or do a mix of both. Dropsuit fittings along with skill training offer me everything I could want in terms of customisation (bar custom skins and weapon modification).
Surplus of Rare Artifacts
Get this damn song back in the game CCP!!!!!!!!!!!
Vehicle combat
I loved my brief stint in BF3 for this reason and its a big part of why CoD never interested me, FPS games without vehicles just don't interest me at all. I look forward to the years to come where this aspect of the game will be fleshed out with HAVs, hoverbikes, jets and MTACS...whenever that may be (I'm patient).
Economy
I love that as mercs we are responsible for our own assets. The fact that you own what you use adds a feeling of urgency that I haven#t experienced in other FPS games and downing a proto, a costly vehicle or even better a merc in AUR gear feels unlike anything else you'll feel in other shooters.
Environments
I love the skyboxes and environments. I look forward to the day when we have all of the race's architecture represented in game. Looking forward to some Minmatar levels of course.
Jihad jeeps
DUST 514 is the only game that has ever been able to make my heart race and it happens during those few seconds leading up to impact. I was concerned I might have a hart attack one day lol.
Nova Knives
Oh man, nothing beats the feel of seeing a red dot hacking and knowing you're about to slice him a new a-hole.
Many many many other things could be listed. I love CCP as a company and the culture surrounding the development of the game, things like dev blogs, dev interaction and of course Fanfest. I enjoy playing with the cool people in my humble corp and the other friends I've made out there in New Eden.
I love being part of a huge work in progress, experiencing the highs and lows of development and playing the game as it grows and evolves.
I love DUST 514. <3
