Its only annoying when my shotgun doesn't register, or when my sprint is bugged and i'm slow until RRs can gun me down, or when my forge gun won't fire and my health is low when spawning.

Originally I loved 1.8 and the new suits, but now I have to admit I am highly aggravated by it. I'm waiting to see what the plans are for fanfest and the upcoming updates for where this game is headed, but I definitely don't have that high of expectations anymore.

Hi, former dedicated Prometheus pilot here.

Nothing CCP does can bring back that part of me that died with Uprising.

PvE is the only bandage that can cover that wound.

Didn't you already make a thread with this subject?

If you don't have fun, move on to a different game. Why post it on the forums? What kind of benefit does it give you besides a few meaningless likes?

When I first started Dust, I used to get angry if I would have a really bad day and go negative by a lot in a bunch of matches. Now, I find myself getting angry and shouting at my tv every time I'm on. Probably not a good thing. Then I read CCP's ideas for upcoming patches or things here in the forum and get even angrier. Makes me wonder whether there's even a long term development plan anymore, and if there is, it's a bunch of **** as we've all seen so far.

Sure seems like it. I can relate though, have you tried different playstyles, though? That seems to be doing it for me.

That's the thing that really gets to me these days. I had finally gotten really good with AR right before 1.7 i.e. RR and CR. I was starting to enjoy Dust on entirely new levels as I felt I had a weapon I could do really well with. I got completely accustomed to the exact kick, feel, etc. Knew exactly how many rounds I could put out at what accuracy before greater dispersion took affect.

Then 1.7 comes along and I immediately find myself constantly outranged and underpowered in all types of engagements. So I think possibly I can use AR in cities or around objectives to compensate for the range problems. Nope, get killed constantly by fatsuit heavy scrubs with RRs, even in CQC. I then just forced myself to learn CR and have never enjoyed Dust as much since.
AR is still usable, but only in certain maps and specific circumstances.

1.8 brought back a bit of joy for me as I picked up the shotgun and my scout suit again as I had when I originally used in Dust, but I started to see just how bad cloaking was (both on the user and receiving end) combined with the constant sentinel HMG spam. I guess I keep hoping that the devs will get their heads out of their asses and begin to restore the game from the last disastrous Uprising patches, but that hope is starting to fade.

Everything you just listed is incredibly fun to play.

I'm guessing the reason you're not having a good time is because you're playing something that isn't fun.

Sounds like a personal problem.

I used to be able to find fun things to do. I just can't seem to find a way to have fun in the game anymore. I need PVE to blow off steam between matchs because after one I'm so full of steam I could kill a kitten. Custom or corp battles would be nice small bandaid over what needs stitches.

leave sentinels out of this, they are fine where they are at.

Yeah. If PVE was here, I would love to hunker down with installations and stuff and laugh my ass off while the killfeed says,"Criteria Shipment (melee) drone"

Drones can't QQ, can they?
