Joel II X Dah Gods O Bacon 1667	Posted - 2014.03.15 22:52:00 - [3] - Quote Free Game. I got better myself. No one taught me anything, but a corp member showed me the light of using shotguns (when I was using the AScR). Forums taught me that my core is important. And some random dude gave me dropships to practice how to pilot. I enjoy the community. There are awesome people here. Awesome scouts, awesome heavies, awesome personalities and role players. There's everything. Unfortunately, the game being released when it's 25% complete saddens me. Real Life friends laughing at me for playing this game saddens me. Realizing they may be right saddens me. I believe Dust 514 has the potential to reach great heights, but I'm not sure if I'll stick around to see it. I want to introduce players to this game and have them stay and like it for what the game truly is. I want this game to succeed, but I'd rather have this sooner than later. Also, I pray to every God every single night so that someday CCP may learn how to balance this damn game. Maybe someday...

Aria Gomes R 0 N 1 N 312	Posted - 2014.03.15 22:56:00 - [5] - Quote I seen it on the What's New Tab on PSN. Was like "Hmmm cool a free game!" Then I seen it was a FPS and I was like :O Even better! I've always wanted to play a FPS that wasn't COD. Liked it and decided to stick with it though I died so damn much. I did want BF3 more though but was like ehhh good enough for now.
Awesome Pantaloons Lokapalas. 297	Posted - 2014.03.15 23:00:00 - [6] - Quote I got a ps3 more than a year ago and looked through the bundles. The highest one seemed a bit much and the games weren't as interesting. The middle one came with a code for the beta. The sales dude seemed pretty psyched about it so I checked it out. That is how I discovered Dust. I kept playing because it is not only addicting but it has a lot of potential, which I'd like to see realized. I just kind of kept practicing to get good, but KatanaPT and the rest of Tech Guard really helped to mold me at first, as well as my good friends from Galere and current corpmates of Lokapalas. later on.

KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Dominion of the Supreme Emperor God-King KAGEHOSHI 9959	Posted - 2014.03.15 23:01:00 - [7] - Quote I started playing this game because I had been following it for years, reading whatever scraps of info I could find, and totally excited for it. I watched leaked closed beta footage, and eventually got into the closed beta; it was both awful and great, I knew what to expect so the bad parts didn't turn me off the game. I kept playing because I like high time-to-kill shooters, I like large scale Battlefield-esque shooters, I love scifi settings, and most of all I believe the devs were willing to take the time and effort to keep making the game better and better until it becomes the thing they envisioned and described to the public. No one helped me (not very social), there wasn't even a tutorial. I just figured out everything for myself. Gû¦Gû+Supreme emperor god-kingpÇÉKAGEH¦PSHIpÇæ// Lord of threads // Forum alt Gû¦Gû+
bamboo x Eternal Beings Proficiency V. 237	Posted - 2014.03.15 23:02:00 - [8] - Quote Yeah I was looking at free games on PSN. Saw the black caldari suit, thought it looked cool especially for a free game. I don't think I ever would've found it if I hadn't bought Resident Evil 6, then someone turned me on to the PSN store because I added them to my friends list. Kind of glad I found Dust. But I won't enjoy it again until 6 tank circle jerk is taken out of the game... Edit: I stayed because I hate FPS games that are based on real life. It's the only one besides Star Wars Battlefront I don't hate. Also nobody really helped me until Eternal Beings. I was lucky I got kicked out of Kill em Quick because I don't think anyone in that corp would've given a **** about me... large corps like that really aren't helpful for the new players. At least it wasn't in my experience. Some douchebags in a corp nobody's heard of called Truth Unspoken kicked me out after I said to the CEO "I hope you don't mind I joined Kill em Quick with one of my alt characters." It's like wow... he kind of did me a favor in the long run anyway... hackable ladders ftw
Michael Arck Onuoto Uakan Huogaatsu Lokun Listamenn 3486	Posted - 2014.03.15 23:05:00 - [9] - Quote Lore and I couldn't play EVE. I kept playing because I wanted to get better and meta. I also rather enjoy this game, through the ups and downs. Shadow Soilder helped me to not be so noobish. Squading with Spartan MK420 and watching his ferocity on the battlefield grow instantaneously inspired me to get my gun game up. Watching Jungian slaughter folks on Twitch in a Minmatar Logistics suit and a GEK would get me hyped. I would watch how he moved about and played to learn some tips. And every "elite" merc that has bested me or anybody for that matter. I try to learn from my deaths so that I smarter, wiser than before... Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Are you OUKH?

Ace Boone G0DS AM0NG MEN D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 34	Posted - 2014.03.15 23:28:00 - [11] - Quote Played in open beta because I had heard about it on reddit. I didn't like it at first because I tried to solo it and the tutorial (half-ass video they show you at the beginning) made it seem like it would just be a cool futuristic FPS, but the graphics were awful and it was really imbalanced. I came back two months later, and have never looked back. Caius Corbulo invited me to a very old, disbanded corp called EINJERHAR ELITE, I met Trullia, Ensar and Wolfmord (none of these players play anymore) and followed Ensar into Svartur Bjorn, which was also disbanded then we went to Dead Man's game, which also fell apart as we moved on to Unit 514, which to my surprise also fell apart. Now I'm in G0DS, 22m SP later, I'm wrecking everything and actually doing PC. Kewl. meh.
Denchlad 7 Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 105	Posted - 2014.03.15 23:28:00 - [12] - Quote April 2013. Whilst browsing the Minecraft Forums an ad for Dust popped up. Had a look into it, was quite interested. Before then I was Anti-FPS entirely, an adventure gamer of sorts. Forgot about Dust till I believe the 25th June. Downloaded, made this char, and went through the ORIGINAL Academy that taught me how to play. Quit after I got stomped in my first match out. Came back after 2 weeks. After I joined a dreadfully awful corp that I quit after a day, I stumbled upon Last Of The Brotherhood, where their CEO - Shadow1133 - taught me how to play properly, began my love affair with the then OP Flaylock, and had some fun (Back then going 7/15 was good to me, K/D was as low as 0.62). Then found Heavy Reign inc. Wouldnt be playing still if it wasnt for Lorelei Zee & Pushing Drip, who taught me further, along with Freek Coalition, their sister corp, with Night 5talker (Who makes excellent Dust videos by the way) and Nitrobeacon. After I switched through Freek Coalition I decided to leave for The Unholy Legion Of Darkstar, where I really fell in love with this game. And after a while I found myself here in Molon Labe. Oh God how do I remember so much dear Lord. Ah well. I still hate this game though like everyone else ghough. If you can't accept change, you will fail in this world.
Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution 11159	Posted - 2014.03.15 23:32:00 - [13] - Quote I came here in closed beta after playing EVE for a bit. There was... something that appealed to me in it. I liked the atmosphere of the game. The old title screen in particular and the old themes made me very happy. When I started off, I was pretty terrible. I started dumbfiring swarms to get kills, and was generally a bad player. After a while, I improved a bit. Nobody taught me how to play, or guided me. I didn't really go with any notable Dust corps, choosing instead to go with my EVE corp and a handful of people who stuck with us. I spent a year with them before moving on to FA. I'm hanging around because there was some spark or some feeling of awesomeness in that beta that no other game has given me. I've yet to find it again, but if CCP manages to bring back that feeling I'm absolutely sticking here. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

Vapor Forseti THE-TITANS 180	Posted - 2014.03.17 13:18:00 - [20] - Quote Always regretted not downloading Dust when it was first introduced to the Playstation Store. Ended up playing the game in late November and darn was that a big mistake. Dust, to be honest, is the only FPS I ever played. Never really wanted to get into the mainstream FPS games that the kids were playing these days, instead getting immersed into RPGs and the like (personaaaaa). I basically ran solos throughout the beginning of my Dusting days, until Titan-God took me into his corp in mid-December, teaching me the ways of the sniper. I continually progressed through the ranks until I proved myself to be a better merc than I was before and finally became director of THE-TITANS. The activity in our corp gradually decreased until now, with just about five/six mercs active, and that means running more solos for me. Shout-out to Titan-God for being just an excellent mentor to me, and he might not see this considering he doesn't visit the forums despite my constant nagging to him about becoming a "forumite". >CCP Saberwing: "NERF EVERYTHING!!!" *THE-TITANS* Director

Cee Zet Phantom Universe Task Force Die Fremdenlegion 3	Posted - 2014.03.17 13:38:00 - [21] - Quote Sorry for bad language. I startet Dust, cause i read something about a game wich tries to put two different kind of games together (a Dream since i know X2). In the past i try out EVE, X2, X3, Sins of Solar and kind of that and iam also love Halo and the hole **** of science-fiction-laser-beam-kill-stuff. For me personaly, EVE takes to much time (in this two-weeks-testaccount i sleep 4 hours and abuse my coffeemachine). Then i read about Dust and the open Beta. Here iam. I search for some german corps and find one. There are so many questions and secrets and i found a lot of people who helped me with my first steps, show me the forum and where i can get more informations. I also met some really awfull (right?) people but i learned, that they dont will stay. I also learned to ignore this "why i dont like Dust" posts. My english skills are not the best, but since Dust its much bether than before. Dust is agreat Idea and game sometimes boring but the time will heal :) Dust is the first MMORPG-FPS ive played longer then a year. And ive try out many games. Thx for the steps of makin such a game. Thx for beeing part of creative thinkin and building and THX FOR THIS POST!!! (first i thought it was such an ironic "i dont know why iam playin dust" post). It shows me that there are some more people out there who not only see their own benefit. Hope to shoot you on the battlefield Greets Cee
Auris Lionesse Capital Acquisitions LLC Renegade Alliance 467	Posted - 2014.03.17 13:47:00 - [22] - Quote Played eve during apocrypha in 2009 Fell in love with the game, started a war, membership ran out as my laptop broke. Never got back to it. during my time a friend who joined eve with me showed me a leaked vid saying eve was going to have a console fps for mercs to be hired by eve corps for interplanetary warfare and link a computer game and a console game and it blew my mind. I have a deep love for scifi and not going further into eve is somethin i regret. Waited years for the revolutionary game Ccp was making. Few years later had Internet installed and got dust around October. disappointed I'm not sure why I'm still here, I want to like this game but I'm not waiting 10 years to get what I saw in 2009. The reputation is such that it will never be the revolutionary game it could have been but it has potential still. Gallente Heavy Ninja Turtles! Gallente Heavy Ninja Turtles!

Arunis Gen G I A N T General Tso's Alliance 137	Posted - 2014.03.17 13:56:00 - [23] - Quote Made my toon around the time E3-build was around, played off and on and then found Waruiko Dust and played with him. He joined the G I A N T [GI4NT] Corporation and due to our old closed-recruitment policy, I was allowed in several weeks after he joined and was initiated in as a 3rd generation GIANT and I am now a director and head diplomat of the corp. I continue playing because of all the cool duders and dudettes that I've met throughout my time playing the game. If it weren't for them, I don't think I would have had the will to continue playing. Hurray for being in one of the oldest and still running corps in Dust 514! `~_~-G I A N T for Life-~_~ ~_~-Head Diplomat-~_~`
PARKOUR PRACTIONER Reapers' Assailant 927	Posted - 2014.03.17 14:31:00 - [24] - Quote Started playing about a 9 months ago. Got my brand new ps3 after my old vacuum cleaner sounding one died on me. I probably would have discovered it earlier if I had been playing more. I didn't play a lot cause that sound hurt my ears. So I received it in the mail, with Uncharted 3 [should have kept it] and a code for 'Dust 514.' I entered the code, and waited for the semi-long process of downloading/installing. As soon I started it I'm like 'if you suck your getting deleted.' And it didn't. I've been a shotgun scout since the first day I started playing cause assault was boring, didn't know about LogiBro, and I've always wanted to run a shotty scout this being my first FPS and online game. I knew then, no one appreciates a shotgun scout. I keep playing cause of 1] My best was 19/11 a couple months after playing, now 19/10 as a shotty scout 2] My scout bros that encouraged me and were happy for me when I excitedly typed it in 3] The constant support of my fellow scouts DEZRA DIABLO o7 4] Cyrius Li-Moody & Jolly R0gers vids are awesome tutorials that help me improved 5] My CEO assistant CEO that hardly plays anymore and exCEO are cool dudes who put up with my 5/33 scores and straight up noobitity 6] Me and Maken are cool, and Shotty and R0ger and Denak and Flako and a long list of names that are escaping me 7] I only squaded with R0ger once, Maken once, Shotty twice, DEZRA once, Moody not at all 8] Maken you need to teach me the ways of the blade again 9] The creativity of the game. My new fits are scout logi and hulk medic 10] My boss when he is on records sometimes and there on YouTube somewhere and i haven't been in a vid yet Psycho Scout Speedy McFaster- Psycho Logi Cool McCoolNess- Psycho Pilot
Luk Manag of Terror TRE GAFFEL 345	Posted - 2014.03.17 15:24:00 - [25] - Quote I 'traded' some Earth and Beyond game money for 50mil ISK to get started in Eve (2003). I was sold on CCPs long term promises. Later on I was too passive in Eve (solo a lot - no time for corp ops). The devs talked about how much they liked the shooter experience, and how they were going to have a PI and WIS related shooter integration and so I broke out the ice mining fleet...to grind ISK and build up my industrial capacity. Some day I'll be able to manufacture merc consumables and make both games more meaningful to me. There will be bullets. ACR+SMG

Scout Registry Nos Nothi 1547	Posted - 2014.03.17 16:42:00 - [28] - Quote Shotty GoBang was never particularly good, nor was he bright. The very first act of his very first match involved hacking a turret and shooting it at the big red ship in the sky. He was and remains one of those guys. Shotty was poached from Call of Duty by MadMatt420 (CoD clan founder) and Djinn Monkey (CoD clanmate). The hook was set by the following three factors: The concept of "leveling up" in a FPS was uniquely appealing Several CoD buddies were trying out Dust at the time The Shotguns of Black Ops II were simply terrible Paladin SaS (CoD clanmate) donated a couple hours describing Dust's skill system, mechanics and basic battle flow. Paladin explained that SP should be spent carefully, and that mail from "ContraBanJoe" should never be read. Paladin also recommended checking out the forums before picking a suit; a thread by Bojo the Mighty placed Shotty on the Scoutly path. A few weeks into getting crushed, Shotty landed a lucky Breach Shotgun blast to the face of Zar Du'Kar (Claro Paulo) of Pro Hic Immortalis. PHI recruited Shotty and -- over the course of several months -- eventually convinced him to stop running straight into enemy fire. Famed Scout Shotgunner Morathi III later joined PHI; he offered to take Shotty under his wing. Shotty GoBang still scks, but he scks less hard, largely thanks to Morathi. o7
Dauth Jenkins Ultramarine Corp 234	Posted - 2014.03.17 16:59:00 - [29] - Quote Tried it out because my MAG team was Raving about it. Played for a bit, hated it. Came back 3 months later, and joined ZionTCD. Played with them for a while, but could never get into a squad with them due to the training Corp having no squads in squad finder. So I left, and joined UMC, because I had played a couple matches with their squads, and enjoyed the chemistry they had. Oh, and the Heavy I had in Zion switched over, so, like a good logibro, I followed him (gotta give those reps). Played my first PC match on 3/15/2014, and lost.... but I enjoyed it immensely. Oh, and I forgot to pull out my scrambler rifle the entire game, I was so busy. The NPE would be greatly increased if they were automatically put into a player run starter Corp, so they could run in squads and see that the true glory of this game is in its squad gameplay. PS: Squads are OP Sees prototompers... Sees blueberries start to snipe... Pulls out commando suit with laser rifle and swarm launcher...
CRNWLLC Screwy Rabbit ULC 113	Posted - 2014.03.17 17:34:00 - [30] - Quote Hakyou Brutor wrote: Why did you start playing this game? Why did you keep playing? Who helped you become not so noob-ish? I started this game because it came out about the same time I started playing EVE, which, as a concept and game universe is unparalleled, IMO. At this time, I barely play EVE because I have so much fun playing Dust. Having never played an MMOFPS before, I died a sh!t ton and was sort of put off by the immensity of the UI, the intensity of the battles, lack of tutorial, etc. I took a 6 month break, after which I had roughly 6M SP to invest and some Templar BPOs (woohoo, anniversary edition!), and that made everything much, much more approachable. Just playing a lot and being okay with dying a ton are what has made my skills progress. Now I consistently end matches with 600+ SP and a positive KDR. I spent most of my time sniping, moved on to SG scouting, and am now flying ADS. I still snipe as much as possible because I still find it more enjoyable than other play styles (hey--I'm a hunter and archer IRL, so marksmanship = meditation/relaxation for me!), but I can fill a few roles and am considering leveling ARs from 4 to 5, what with the massive amount of SP I have coming in. That way I can run frontline, too. My other dropsuit is a Python.

Cyzad4 Blackfish Corp. 190	Posted - 2014.03.17 17:43:00 - [31] - Quote Saw a promo vid online somewhere, looked interesting so I applied to closed beta. Figured out pretty much everything on my own, never even bothered playing in a squad till like 2 months ago lol. Welcome to you're "DOOM"

Luna Angelo We Who Walk Alone 814	Posted - 2014.03.17 17:50:00 - [33] - Quote I had read about it, of course, but didn't try it till I found it on the PSStore. I'm, like, ok, free game, I like. I like the atmosphere and have really cool friends. I enjoy it, most of the time. As for who helped me, there is a guy named milo cordelli. He was recruiting and I randomly joined his squad. This was when I was using the cam mic, rather than an earpiece. Anyways, I digress. He taught me so much about this game once I joined We're Owl Exterminators, a now defunct corporation. Pvt Numnutz taught me to fly, I was taught to snipe by another, and milo and Hiku Seijuro taught me how to be ground-pounder. And I used to be a shocktrooper for them. As the Assault/shotty scout, I typically protected the hackers. On a side note, my first dropship was destroyed by milo. I don't need luck, I have ammo. Wolves don't lose sleep over the opinions of sheep. CEO of We Who Walk Alone
howard sanchez Sanchez Cartage llc 874	Posted - 2014.03.17 17:56:00 - [34] - Quote Went to Iceland for Fanfest in 2011, saw DUST coming. Got closed beta invite in May 2012. Dust is my first fps and I was looking for something less twitchy and more tactical. Stayed this long because of my personal history with and core belief in CCP I continually question both my sanity and perception of reality regarding that last statement. CCP have such a diamond here, but it is so very rough and they are not inspiring great confidence in thier ability to polish it well. I was here before corporations but list Zion, Dust Uni and many others on my list of wanderings.
Denak Kalamari Intaki Liberation Front Intaki Prosperity Initiative 1298	Posted - 2014.03.17 18:24:00 - [35] - Quote Let's see if I start rambling here. My interest in scifi predates far back before December 1st 2012 when I first downloaded DUST, two years before in a small gaming community in the MMO racing game Need For Speed World. Back then I was just a young kid with a lot of free time in my hands, am eye for writing and MMOs to try. Back in this community I was introduced to Star Trek, which led me to downloading Star Trek Online right after it became F2P. I stuck with it for a three years, and through it I joined another community within STO, and a few of the friends I had acquired there were talking a lot about SWTOR which was going through its closed beta tests in the summer of 2011. I joined that, and by that time I was just hooked into scifi MMOs and hungering for more. Through my contacts in SWTOR and STO I was prompted to try out EVE Online. I only downloaded the trial and stopped it at that due to lack of money, and not really understanding anything. From EVE however, I heard of DUST 514. In the autumn of 2012, I bought a PS3 of my own and began looking for games to download for it, and DUST 514 popped up. I had seen some trailers and teasers before, but this time I really started looking into it. So eventually at November 30th I purchased the Mercenary Pack and downloaded DUST the next day. Back then I was really horrible until a friendly person from my NPC corp suggested I used my HK4M shotguns and Dragonfly BPO scout. I joined my newly discovered friend's corporation CrimeWave Syndicate, which mostly consisted of MAG veterans. There I was given some pointers on what to run with my scout suit, and my fits began to take shape. Come spring 2013 and where both CW and DUST experienced a lot of changes, which ultimately made me part ways and find another corp. Around this time I started being a fairly good scout and started gaining some recognition on the forums. Fastforward to spring 2014, I'm now part of a roleplaying corporation as a veteran and elite-ish scout with over a year of experience under my belt. But to stop the rambling and summarize: 1. I got DUST because I liked scifi MMOs and shooters, where DUST 514 joined both together 2. I kept playing for the friends I got and the lore and the roleplaying opportunities it presented 3. I was initially given a few pointers on what to use with my, but beyond that I've figured things out myself or used the forums for guides. Rambling finished.

Baal Omniscient L.O.T.I.S. D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 1160	Posted - 2014.03.17 18:54:00 - [36] - Quote About 2 years ago I got burned out on MAG and spent some time hopping from RPG to RPG waiting for a good shooter to come out. When I heard about Dust 514, I spent every waking moment scouring the internet for a closed beta code. I finally got one towards the end of Replication. I was drawn in by it's scope and potential, and it's the community that I found once I got here that has kept me around. My talents were forged in the fire of closed beta where every other game was stacked with Imperfects, Betamax, Burgezz, SVER. It was the constant battles against Regnyum, Zitro, xprotoman, Quickgloves, Axel Steiner, Grimmers, Bloody QC, etc, etc, etc that stole my noobishness from me. MAG ~ Raven
843 Epidemic BurgezzE.T.F General Tso's Alliance 511	Posted - 2014.03.18 13:09:00 - [37] - Quote I actually started playing this game before I joined 843, however I hastily left the game (In the first 2 weeks of closed beta release) as well, it was ass. I returned to playing MAG where I met 843! I rejoined Dust with my new tags and began my quest, I worked my way from member to Officer, and now to 4th in command of BurgezzE.T.F. Glad to be here, will never leave. There are many things that helped me steer away from my noobish path. First was sticking close to my buddy Ultradeadly in closedbeta, who is also an 843 veteran, and later in Closed Beta we grouped up with then fellow 843 members Radar R4D-47 and Roborhino. Us 4 together worked as a unit, and post-reset in January were all high up on the leaderboards. Honestly as dull as it sounds, all skill and prowess I have today comes from fighting top tier players and working with my clan! ffs.

Ended up playing dust regularly and became the resident dust guy for my eve alliance. Eventually took over the alliance dust project with a mandate to establish and maintain a corp. Still going.

Was quite bad, got a corp - nice squad play. Got mic and joine D-UNI. They taught me some things but I mostly developed a sense of kicking ass all by my self. After that I picked up some stuff from Seraphim members. a secret forum alt.

I had a .17 Kdr and was just happy to get a kill. But eventually with me being a competitive gamer and always trying to be the best I started to play more serious. For a while it was just me and my brother xSir Campsalotx. Then we just joined random corps that had a lot of members because we were blue berries, and I joined hostile acquisition inc. it lasted a few weeks didn't really squad with them so I left. Afterwards I joined another corp randomly. It was Dark Legion, so I squad with them a lil and they are pretty cool people so I stay and eventually my bro joins. I stayed for a few months until the whole FEC thing started, and I joined AE to help fight in the war. I was there for about 4 to 5 months until me and my brother decided to follow our dream of making a corp which btw is G0DS AM0NG MEN. I kept playing because Dust is definitely different from other FPS games. I don't think anyone really helped me I mean at first I was a logi and my brother went heavy so I would rep him until I started getting better at shooting people, and now I'm not a logi at all. To organize my 3 answers 1. I started playing because my brother told me about Dust. 2. I kept playing because uprising came 2 days after I started playing so the game improved a lot. 3. No one taught me, but me, myself, and I :) CEO of G0DS AM0NG MEN Join out pub channel G0DS AM0NG MEN :D
Tectonic Fusion 1409	Posted - 2014.04.05 04:26:00 - [42] - Quote When I joined, I never knew about EvE, never seen a dust video, never asked for help, and never squaded up back in Chromosome. It was advertised, so I just tried it out. I liked it very much, although, I wasn't very good at the game. It was really cool to skill up, but I apparently got proto weapons and used militia suits and mods so I didn't have a very good time. Around 1.4 I actually got good (I started getting over 1k WPs per match). I never played the game extensively, but I did play it when I was bored. In 1.6 I really got into it (I was addicted). I have to say, the game has only gotten better. What really drove me to play this game was the concept. It felt different than just kill and kill, which seemed cool. Solo Player Squad status: Locked
Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 4899	Posted - 2014.04.05 05:33:00 - [43] - Quote A long, long time ago, in New Eden, I hijacked the brain of a Capsuleer (a.k.a my friend let me play on his account for a while). I promptly decided that, as cool as it was, I didn't have the free time or patience to make the game worth the financial investment it would require to maintain my account. As such, I decided to keep an eye on the game as an interesting concept, but NOT to actually get involved more heavily. Because I was following EVE, I heard about DUST quite early. I didn't go for the closed beta as soon as it was available, but I got in around the E3 build when they were phasing out Skirmish 1.0 - as rough as it was around the edges, it was pretty enjoyable. I quickly made some friends, and when they realised that I was more willing than most to risk my own survival in order to save a teammate (and their K/D), I had a couple of friends ask if I'd become a regular in their squad. Because I was still not convinced the game was worth spending money on, I declined, but when they found out my reasons, one of the squad members bought a Merc Pack for me (we've since become irl friends after it turned out he lived in the country). After a while, my girlfriend saw me playing, and said "that reminds me of Battlefield" (meaning 2142, which she used to play on her parents' Mac). I got her to apply for the closed beta and she was lucky enough to get access for the following weekend. She, too, enjoyed the game, and wanted more. Because access to the beta was still limited at the time, I bought her a Merc Pack so she could get more time with the game, and ended up enjoying her exploits as a sniper almost as much as I enjoyed playing the game myself. I've since lost touch with most of my original DUST friends as they've moved on, but I've made new friends along the way too. I've also had an amicable break-up with the girlfriend I got into the game, but now she has her own PS3 and we can play the game together instead of taking turns. When I started out, I was rusty at FPS gameplay, but I had been playing the High Moon Transformers games a lot, and those third-person shooters gave me enough of a grounding to hold my own. As an avid reader, I was also willing to sit back and spend HOURS (literally) digging through the skill sheet to work out how everything works relates and works together. My girlfriend, uninterested in all the stats, simply got me to watch her play, figure out what skills she was using most and buff them, and also identify any weaknesses she could cover with the right skill training. Between us, we put together some relatively cheap Sniper fittings which she was able to use effectively (she's always been one of the good Snipers - even as far back as her first Sniper suit, she never tried redline camping). As time went on, she learned more about the game simply by watching me play, and by watching where I directed her while upgrading her own skills. When CCP decided to give away free vehicles, I skilled into Swarm Launchers (which have remained a secondary role for me to this day), and my girlfriend decided to try out a Forge Gun (which she has stuck with to this day as well). We both still run our other fittings as well, but now we had AV weapons if we needed them. It wasn't until vehicles started to get heavily nerfed that I actually tried them out - and I enjoyed it when I was running a broken-nerfed Missile Sica, then later a Gunnlogi. I had the tankiest raw HP tanks in the game, and it was hilarious. I also ran proper fittings, but I found that simply having more raw HP than everything else on the battlefield was a good scare tactic against enemy tanks. Seeing me unhardened and losing HP so slowly put a huge dent in the enemy's morale for some reason. It's like they knew I could harden any time (I couldn't) but chose not to because I wasn't scared. Of course, my reckless terror tactics resulted in the occasional death, but that's fine too. My Sagaris was the only time I ever lost more than I made back in a half-hour of play, and only one of those ever died on me. Around the time I picked up tanks, I also decided to try out the Shotgun - in most modern shooters, I was bad with such weapons, but I'd found that the semi-automatic "Scatter Blaster" in the Transformers games suited me, and the DUST Shotgun's performance seemed close enough to compare with it. It was everything I'd ever wanted, and has become a mainstay in my DUST arsenal ever since. The lack of range - particularly with me not bothering to train Sharpshooter skill back when it was the done thing - got me killed more than once, but it was devastating when I got in close and tore a victim's head off with it. I was already good at using my Scout suit to avoid detection and get around enemy positions, but now, I was almost always taking at least one of them with me before going down. As time has gone on, Scouts have seen nerfs, and coming into 1.8, we've had a buff almost back to our former glory. Tanks have been nerfed, buffed, and nerfed again, and so has all that shiny AV weaponry. Various things have changed, and I've been here to see almost all of it. My NPE was a massive portion of self-teaching, followed by visits to these forums where I learned a LOT from doing the same thing I did in-game - I read. I dug through so many threads. I don't know who to credit for most of my DUST knowledge, but I know that I paid attention to everyone, and tested the things I was reading. When I started noticing discrepancies between my testing and the advice other players were offering, I spoke up, and became a familiar presence here. I wasn't always correct, but when I was proven wrong, I was one of the rare ones who would accept my mistake and learn from it. I had a few times where I argued quite strongly about things only to later come back humble and apologetic after another round of testing. And here I am. Still playing, still posting, still enjoying the game more for its potential than...
Dunk Mujunk RestlessSpirits 719	Posted - 2014.04.05 05:49:00 - [44] - Quote Same as many, I was bored of my game collection and I remembered that the abomination that is free to play gaming had sleezed its way onto PSN. I went to the online store and all they had was Dust and DC Universe I think it was. I went with Dust, but remembering old reviews by gaming magazines I didn't think i'd like it. Yet I was kept curious enough to bounce around from 2 corps and NPC. The NPC time was the worst by the way, think it was a week or 2, maybe 3. Then I got in with R1P, met some cool folks, found out how much of the community had migrated from MAG, and slowly fell in love. Ahhh, good times. Then the dirty btch known as Dust sht all over me, and has continued to do so on a monthly basis. If you ever see a news report about some guy in a cardboard dropsuit armed with a remington 870 blowing up gas stations in the south eastern United States, my QQ has finally reached critical mass, and I probably won't be on for a while. Switzerland is small and neutral. We're more like Germany. Ambitious and misunderstood. Futurama
RemingtonBeaver Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 589	Posted - 2014.04.05 06:52:00 - [45] - Quote Saw it in the PS store. It looked kind of cool. Wanted to see how FPS and RPG elements would be blended. Joined PRO. Met friends. Left PRO. Been in Molon ever since. After years of HALO and COD it was amazing to be in a gaming community that at it's core is very intelligent. More talking than screaming insults at each other. ..because talking **** in this game is much more subversive than insults. We can pickle that.
