Serious question. For those who have 30+ million SP, how do you keep playing, what keeps you going?

I love this game, and I've gotten quite a bit of enjoyment out of it in the past 9 months or so, but at just over 26 million SP, I'm having a lot of trouble getting up the desire to log in anymore. I've still got a few things to acquire that I want, getting that proto SMG and such and getting the skills up on that, but other than that, there's... not really much. A few things I sort of want, but nothing major. Maybe it's just the fact that I came over to this from Battlefield and I can't get any enjoyment out of the vehicles. Seriously, ADS's are boring to fly, it's more enjoyable for me to gun or fly for gunners, and tanks... ugh... I used to enjoy tanks, now... not so much. Maybe it was just the fact that they were risky to use and there weren't many good tankers, but the tanks now are just really meh.

So, again, for those with relatively high levels of SP, what keeps you playing on the same maps against the same people over and over again? I'd like to find more ways to enjoy the game in between patches, but at the moment, I've got nothing.

I'm not a 30 million vet yet because I've never bothered capping once in my life, and that might be why I'm not top-grade, but...

@ 21 million here.

NOTHING MORE FUN IN LIFE THAN MELTING HEAVIES WITH PLC!!!!

Yup. Cloak, and drop a PLC blast on them. Free hate mail !

Yeah, i run an Amarr logi with a mass driver.. what are YOU going to do about it?

If you play too much you burn out and start to resent the game and the developers. I'm on a break right now actually. Probably for a couple weeks while I play the original Mass Effect. Too much of anyone thing is bad for you. Everything in moderation!

I remember the whole triple melee mod kick on the min scout suit... that was pretty cool. As for me, I just use my crappiest gear and try to do as good as possible with it. Standard scout, militia ScP and Toxin SMG. There are so many matches that still provide a challenge to me that I am still somewhat interested. I don't usually cap anymore though. Once I get this down I'll probably do what Infected does and try a different specialization and try to do well with that (in crap gear). 36M SP. Double posting like a Kaiser.

General Tso's Alliance 9	Posted - 2014.04.24 23:14:00 - [36] - Quote Despite what Charlotte said, I have played Dust almost exclusively since I was able to start playing it (back when we had dumbfire swarms), primarily because the blu-ray laser on my system stopped working on my ps3. Secret is to not care about kdr, then try new things, then work on them to make them better. After all this time RE's under a scout will still make me giggle for about 15mins. Also make a point of skilling into as many roles as possible, and as many passive skills as you can.

I took a short break as well, played a lot of other games, but ended up coming back for the community, and the future 'possibilities'. Note: Even though I took a break from playing, I never took a break from the game in the sense that I was stil in constant contact with the DUST Scussion Skype Channel, sat in DUST chatting, and in EVE as well while playing the other games. Once you go Black, you just never go back!

I've taken to maxing out one specialization, playing it exclusively until I can consistently pull in at least a 3.0 KDR consistently while playing said role as it is generally intended. Assault, stealth and speed scout, point or 2 defense heavy, support commando...you get the idea. Then I move on to the next specialization. Next up for me will be drop ships.

Thats me. Sadly I'm pretty much done and can't see myself serving out my full term. Also CPM is just away from ccp to avoid be held accountable to the community because they use it as a buffer. It's not a good thing its an excuse and way to avoid responsibility to the greater community in general.

I join random squads and help on getting WP for an orbital, and just being a logi and help my blueberries. Killing prototryhards (with BPO fittings) and making tanks run like the little bitches they are is always fun.. I only have 50M ISK saved so i cant afford to go crazy spending(50m isnt that much). For fun: run around doing stupid ****. Go around meleeing everyone, tbag tanks, sneak up on a sniper and block his shot getting him to freak out, then try and kill em with a melee. Run to an objective backwards while shooting up in the air. Im gonna spec into kinects, nova knives, and heavy.

The other day i had a scout chasing me around all match, cloaked with a PLC. He never actually direct hit me, but got damn close a couple times. Puckered my butthole a few time, not even gonna lie. It kept me on my guard tho, and that match turned out to be one of my best matches in weeks. I was laughing the whole time. This game is what you make of it.. Yeah, i run an Amarr logi with a mass driver.. what are YOU going to do about it?

And people like this with a sixth sense and/or a good eye to scan for cloaked scouts keeps ME on an edge, always looking out for "attentive" enemies, because I must best be cautious around them. Especially some of those darned heavies, jumping off the ground just as my PLC blast reaches their feet. GRRRR. It doesn't matter, I suppose. The feeling of hate and enmity we possess between our classes are mutual. After all, we scouts hate being shredded to pieces in a few seconds and heavies hate being OHK'd or rapidly eliminated by cloak shotgun scouts. I suppose what everyone hates--OH Nova Knife Kills. Oh boy. Skilled NF'ers I give SERIOUS respect. Honestly, that takes some serious skill. And they do it so damn fast too...
