A single match in Black Ops "doesn't matter." Your ranked score in League "doesn't matter." Getting all the trophies in Arkham City "doesn't matter." Playing Monopoly "doesn't matter." Why is it so important that everything in DUST have to "matter"? If you do not enjoy the game, the socialization with friends, or are just capping because you feel the Skinner Box tactic to empty out your weekly bonus SP: I highly suggest you at least take a break from the game for a while. I did and I don't regret it.

I dont agree, you have to see what this game was said to deliver and what we have. The fight should matter in a larger scale, connection to EVE etc.

It certainly should. But is it important for the enjoyment of the player and to the game as it stands now?

I understand the huge frustration with "where the hell is everything?!" because I have it too. The fact that it took over a year after 'release' for the dropsuits to get parity is abysmal. That isn't releasing EVE with only Cruisers; that is releasing EVE with only one race's Cruisers. The amount of stuff that should be in the game that hasn't been announced yet (gotta wait a month) and the amount of things announced that are not here (remember 2013's FanFest?) is staggering.

But does that stop the game from working as it currently is: a mildly competent shooter with a lot of hopes and dreams? I honestly hope in a year's time we look back to what DUST is and just go "WOW; sure has come a long way!" because the game should definitely be more.

Totally agree and the only reason we have a good living corp is the sosial enviroment, but there is a limit if there is not much more.

The world will never know... I am not sure if there is ever going to be a PVE I have read all threads about PVE in the forums and the silence from CCP about that is nearly totally silence. So a vision in where Dust is heading will be interesting to now.

ADAM-OF-EVE Dead Man's Game 1172	Posted - 2014.04.04 20:41:00 - [16] - Quote the underlining problem is we are mercs fighting endless free fights with no purpose to them. what ccp promised us was taking contracts from eve players to fight their wars. the better we are the Likelihood we would be hired for bigger rewards. all this effort ccp has gone to, to bring in PC yet it goes against everything mercenary warfare is about. we should not be allowed to own districts at all or profit passively from them. our entire income should be reflected in our ability to win fights. in my opinion they should ditch PC completely and concentrate on the mainstream features like FW, public matches and pve. meanwhile they can work on bringing in the much needed contract system for eventual eve integration. why are we just clicking to fight. why does ccp not have in place a full contract selection system for picking fights. low and high contract value fights would bring a little bit of balance to matchmaking as the better players would chase the higher payout contracts while the lower ones would be less pubstomped allowing noobs some element of matched ability "great time for a squad inv" duty calls I will logi the s* out of you https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=99075&find

Why have I never scrolled down on that page Shows CCP can do marketing (or people can use PSN and like free things), just a shame the hype they pushed the game with is taking way longer than intended to implement. I play because it's all fun as hell to get zerged as a Logi then spawn back in with an HMG and watch them scatter MWHAHAHAHAHA!!! I'll be here for the long haul. Several breaks have been taken and I'm sure there'll be plenty more to come, but my clone is always safe from the BioMass facility.
