The small community from the private trials pre-replication tried their hardest to make DUST a great FPS. Closed beta replication patch hit and CCP let in their precious EVE nerds that slowly ruined the game and turned it into the abomination that it is now.
Replication definitely took the most skill to play and it was great when 1 person could hold off an entire team on the alpha ridge.
Thats a crock of bollocks and u know it. You guys where busy trying make the next cod/mag mash up and you won argument dust is the way it is now because of the shooter fans and cod fans if ypYou and others botherd to stop trolling yoy would have noticed you and eve guys agreed on key points.
Instead people like yourself runined the communty with your trolling driving away the smart players and the shooter fans like your self have given us this garbled mess.
Dont forget protoman their are plenty of vets still kicking who remeber what actually happen and not you're little fansty you seem to have.
i do agree on the talent pool though dust has shockingly bad players.
Good to see ya posting again though the fourm minigame has been really boring lately :-P:-P
steady you are being selective with your memories. Let me help you out
Replication and early closed beta had much higher ehp and potential weapons damage. Now add in all the random hit detection and you get a skewed higher time to kill. One of the issues I always found was that if you went for head shots you killed super fast if you actually connected(which i wasn't good at). Players like proto, omni, zitro, and others that only went for head shots and just destroyed people (like me actually). So what you assume proto and other are wanting super fast ttk like cod it was actually them asking that you dont dumb down dust. aka reward skill. We all know that the dust players base in general has a really low skill level. So in general the majority if qq about stuff is simply because players are bad at dust, bad at fps games in general, and have some sort of entitlement of being good. I remember people telling protoman that his 6ish kdr in closed beta was going away come open and release when better players showed up. Pretty sure that didn't happen to anyone because it was just an influx of more bad players. I mean my best kdr as a slayer in closed beta was 3.3 and my highest I had my kdr as a logi in uprising was like 6.8 (yes I said logi and yes regnum still yelled at me all the time for letting him die)
So the long short is dont let your dislike for protoman fog your preception of what really went on and whats players motivations really were. Also protoman is playing FF14 now so we should all make fun of him for play lowering himself to a tabtarget game :-)
ahaha i dont hate protoman nice try at creating false conflict.
i do openly have a dislike for yourself for what happend in end with the imperfects but thats not for here.
you guys declared war on the community if thats what you guys where trying to do you guys epicly failed in all your trolling and got completely the wrong message across and that is on you guys. i dont have selective memory you have rose tinted glasses on how you guys where trying to be misunderstood villeins of the game and where just trying to help when in fact in the end you guys where just being dicks and shouted down ANYONE including your own if they disagreed with you, which meant none of you where taken seriously, i do hope if you guys come back we can get the band back together but this time i hope you all chillout a little :P
for sure i know protoman zitros and ragnum and all others really do care about this game but the way you went about it did far more damage this community and the game itself than any befit you gave. the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
i respect you beers we just have completely different views on how about to go about the same task :D
