Crimson ShieId Psygod9 D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 365	Posted - 2014.04.24 21:06:00 - [1] - Quote 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. Nova Knives are OP! Nerf em before you lose all your proto suits!

Nothing Certain Bioshock Rejects 530	Posted - 2014.04.24 21:15:00 - [7] - Quote I really wonder what keeps guys that go 20-0 going. Hate and a desire for revenge keep me going, it is a challenge and there is stuff to buy and people to beat , easy games make me want to quit, yet I see these players and they seem to be trying to avoid each other rather than hunting each other. Because, that's why.

DEZKA DIABLO THE FOOTCLAN 666	Posted - 2014.04.24 21:25:00 - [11] - Quote I have 46 mill sp, I am finally getting tired of capping and I have a lot of everything I need an I as well could care less about vehicles. I have friends here and not much time to socialize outside of home due to work and kids so dusts provides my nighttime laughs with friends I've had for over a yr now. But sometimes the game itself isn't fun anymore, so now I do things that are fun that take me away from caring about my score and make me good at odd gameplay, like spending a week killing people with stupid things like plasma cannons or burst scp or melee mods, and actually getting good at it in the process. Find something fun and unorthodox forget about kdr and winning and you ll have fun again. My remotes got NERFED cuz you whine like a B!+Gé¼[-]!

Booby Tuesdays Ahrendee Mercenaries 474	Posted - 2014.04.24 21:59:00 - [21] - Quote I'm only at 25 mil. Long breaks are your friend. I would probably have over 30 mil by now, but if it wasn't for frequent long breaks I don't think I would still be here. I played for about a week of 1.7 and peaced out until 1.8. New roles and weapons keep the game fresh as well. Loving my Minmandbro. If you win the rat race, you're still a rat.

First thing I always do when I get on is change up some of my fittings to try a new strategy, or go through and delete old ones that I don't use anymore. The feeling of "I wonder what I can do with my sp this week" is what keeps me going. That, and I have a lot of people who think I'm awesome. Links: 7162 wp with a Repair Tool!

I log in to have a good time with my mates. If I got really bored I would go fight some FAC war and meet some new people who also share my love of the state.
Charlotte O'Dell Sooper Speshul Ponee Fors Dropsuit Samurai 2452	Posted - 2014.04.24 22:09:00 - [25] - Quote Nobody with over 30 mil SP got there by exclusively playing Dust. We only played when we wanted to, instead of letting it become a chore. Take a break. Make sure you're having fun before you deploy, or just turn it off. Remember: it is just a game. Most of all, make friends. I play because I like my online friends more than anything. I spend more time joking in the war barge than in game. Charlotte O'Dell is the highest level unicorn!

I just think Dust is a great game--I play it way more than I play EVE, Minecraft, or all my other indies, so it is definitely the most fun game I play, hands down. I'm only @ 22M SP and have been playing for about a year. New skills and things to do are awesome, but mostly, I just think it's actually a well designed, great playing game. My other dropsuit is a Python.

Sourdough Muffins Royal Uhlans Amarr Empire 257	Posted - 2014.04.24 22:47:00 - [31] - Quote Taking breaks from the game. 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.

wait reloading Molon Labe. 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!

Taught a bunch of minmatard noobs to fear the laz0r rifle last night. That was damn fun. REs. Sticky remotes are the greatest thing since sliced bread Don't make it a grind, don't worry about capping. You'll get there eventually. Above all, have fun with your friends and do it for the lulz. When it's no longer fun take a week or two off. "The line between disorder and order lies in logistics" -Sun Tzu Forum Warrior lv.2 Amarr victor!

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.

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...

When 1.8 dropped, despite the bugs and annoyances, the game perked up a lot for me. I play seriously whilst capping and then after that the fun and randomness starts.

I figure I won't have all of those speced out the way I want until I am 30-35 SP and that is with nothing in vehicles (though 2+ mill wasted on guns that I don't use anymore, and for the infiltrator role I used to run before 1.8). If i want to run infiltrator again, I will need even more SP.

Jet Starflyer Pradox One Proficiency V. 16	Posted - 2014.04.25 17:44:00 - [65] - Quote My main character had about 24mil SP when I just stopped playing on it. Being an assault character along with a corp leader just wasn't fun anymore and I needed a major break. Instead I jumped onto my dropship character who had about 5mil SP accrued passively and now I just run dropships all the time. So I just changed my role completely and abandoned all my leadership roles. I still take breaks from the game every once in a while but it generally stays pretty fresh and fun.

I don't suggest it for new players, but for 20 mil + like yourself that finds themselves getting bored, learn a new weapon, ghet a new suit, start into vehicles. switch it up
RayRay James Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 97	Posted - 2014.04.25 17:55:00 - [67] - Quote Nearing 40 mil SP.... I trained everything gallente logi starting in 1.0 Then around 1.7 I started training into REs and Scouts, which is single handedly the most fun you can have with a scout. I love the rag-doll effects on mercs when they asplode. Also, blowing up tanks with REs and no cloak. I haven't trained the cloak yet During the training of scouts, I also trained forges to 5 to blow up tanks and DS with. The joy of taking down a DS solo is great. Just gotta learn to lead properly based on their speed and distance. Then i started into vehicles, tanks and ADS, I have pro large blaster and rail, adv large missile and pro small missile and the core's up to 4 or 5 for vehicles The key to keeping the game fresh is changing your playstyle and learning different suits/weapons

Bethhy Ancient Exiles. Dirt Nap Squad. 1838	Posted - 2014.04.25 18:44:00 - [69] - Quote Dust used to be about personal skill progression... Getting better at DUST as a whole everytime you played.. To the point where you could take that skill to a 500k SP Alt and perform well. That feeling is what Made DUST addicting all through beta and even through one of the worst build implementations with Uprising launch. That is gone. Dust right now is mainly just about Character progression... Getting more SP and ISK... And after you have a giant pile of ISK and SP... The game ... kinda looses point. The only two saving factors is social and competition... So Friend circles and PC competition or aspirations along with the drive to fully use or tests the ISK and SP you have acquired.. DUST has lost that magical spark that made people spend every gaming moment on it..

CELESTA AUNGM Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 145	Posted - 2014.04.25 19:22:00 - [71] - Quote In the 11 months I've played Dust, I've only accumulated under 10 million SP (NO, I said that right, TEN milion SP). I don't belong on your thread! Haven't earned the right to post here. Dust 514 is CCP's first attempt at the Playstation Console platform. They mentioned it could take about 7 years to unlock all the SP areas and gear... but I bet they are only beginning to learn the addiction-factor that revolves around CONSOLE gaming (maybe much more than PC? I dunno). I only have 10 mmillion SP (8 million of it already spent) because I had a set goal in mind from my second month playing, and I controlled myself NOT to train in anything much else. So I am a NON-addict. I stay in the game because it's boldness and wierd departure from the REGULAR fps, and it's ultimate goal to become a networked contracts-based environment linked to an whole 10-year community of PC players, is something I'd like to experience and be part of. ADDICTION, is what drives most everyone else who stays in this game long enough to fatten up on 20 million SP or more in less than a year. God bless you folks for being able to do that and still be human---I could never do that. Not even for games I thought I was "addicted to".

I don't play just one suit type - I play them and change up when I get tired of one and then cycle through. I don't stagnate my game play - I dabble in everything until I am very comfortable. It's why my KDR fluctuates match to match - you may see me go 15-1 and then 4-9 because I switched tactics to try something new (either approach, or suit, or weapon, etc).
