DUST Search - How good is Duna?

Raven Exile McISKgrinder wrote:

After X amount of 80 clone ambushes where he got 25ish kills with his blaster tank and OBs, we finally got into a 50 clone ambush.

We saw this one dude running for the outskirts at the very start and me and a buddy spent over 5 minutes before we finally chased him down and I got him with my SMG.

Then I got a QQ message saying "2vs1 scared me ? lol"

So naturally we ended up with a ton of QQ back and forth and he called me a scared noob and whatnot and I said that he needed his tank and a squad of support to be any good.

In my experience he's only killed me with either a blaster tank, an OB or earlier with a HMG LAV combo...

So, whats the general consensus here? Is he actually good or is he merely playing the game in "the cheapest possible way", in effect replacing good old gungame and tactics with exploiting "the easiest path to success possible?"

So:

1. A good player alround, he has a 40 KDR FFS.

2. A good tanker but thats it.

3. Skilless exploiter of EZ-mode mechanics taken to the extreme.

4. I dunno, but at least I doubt him having any "C.o.j.o.n.e.s".

I will update as far is this thread is allowed to live...

Beld Errmon 1714	Posted - 2014.07.01 03:37:00 - [31] - Quote Its funny watching duna's KDR plummet since tanks got nerfed out of most of ambush, i've seen him in one game since then and it was just as others here have described, hiding out on the outskirts of the map cloaking and sniping, even doing that his kdr has dropped from what 110 to -40 now? He never was a good tanker, anyone can seem godly when your 5 squad mates are dedicated to holding your hand. Pilot - Tanker - FOTM (insert here)

Or is it that your presence isn't welcomed there or something? Nope. Most players are indifferent to my presence in the War Room. General Discussions has players which discuss statistics and the game in general (hence the title), and -for the most part- provides feedback which determines the mechanics and power of items (along with how they correlate with each-other). The War Room on the other hand, has done nothing besides discuss the actions of something which has no effect to the vast majority of the playerbase (or DUST 514 as a whole), while re-creating threads which lack substance and -for the most part- don't abide by the rules set forth by CCP. I could also list several things that General Discussions has produced which is constructive, while you could barely (if at all), find one thing constructive produced by The War Room. In summary, abiding by the Forum Rules (for the most part) and producing constructive content, makes General Discussions far superior (and definitely better) than that of the War Room. What war room are you inhabiting. The one I know is for the forum smart-asses to congregate and debate furiously over Hynox Xitio's latest adult novel........

J0hlss0n Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 164	Posted - 2014.07.01 10:14:00 - [43] - Quote He is "good" enough to make the forum rage over him. I don't consider him better or worse than many of the "so called elites" who beat their chests all over the forums while chasing the next FOTM, he is good at what he does, gotto give him that..
Ryme Intrinseca The Rainbow Effect 1403	Posted - 2014.07.01 10:32:00 - [44] - Quote He still racks up those 30-0 ambush OMSs while most other pub tankers QQ about blaster dispersion. He is also amazing at orbital placement. Overall I'd say he is a much better than average player who has a bad reputation due to his undoubtedly cheap tactics and KDR whoring.
Seymour KrelbornX Holdfast Syndicate Amarr Empire 248	Posted - 2014.07.01 11:29:00 - [45] - Quote duna is just a stat padder... he doesn't know how to actually play the game, he just knows how to get cheap kills.
Chunky Munkey Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 4904	Posted - 2014.07.01 12:43:00 - [46] - Quote It's not that he isn't skilled, it's just that his skill is in utilising whatever tactic he can to maximise his kills and minimise his deaths. He has no interest in playing the game per se. RIP Stinky Sleeve. RIP Dust514. See you on Destiny. PSN: GSDSteVB

He is, and he love you long time. XD I love how the community comes together to shame hacks and douches! He is the definition of a tryhard. I mean, you'd think the guy would have a mental breakdown if he lost more than two clones in a battle.
CommanderBolt ACME SPECIAL FORCES RISE of LEGION 1229	Posted - 2014.07.01 17:56:00 - [48] - Quote I would love to say Duna is a skill less scrub but that just is not the truth, unfortunately. Duna Has some of the best survival tactics in DUST. (read ~pu$$y tactics :P ~). He is fairly good in his tank thought he tends to try and snipe from the red line if he cant call in his precious. Lets not give the guy too much credit though. Idiots in his corp fund his tank addictions and he really is only where he is today because he exploited the game for over a year. Specifically - exploiting spawn locations and 6 tanks in ambush for the vast majority of the time. Investigate 9/11

Hey M6, remember that time we spent the whole match chasing Duna around in his proto Caldari scout while he was trying to snipe? Well since then, I have noticed many people go out of their way just to make his day less fun =D Investigate 9/11

As in slaughter him 3 times when he decided to show himself in a domination. He's terrible. He's like leprosy as a tanker, just that bad.
Jett Pezzin Terminal Courtesy 190	Posted - 2014.07.03 04:56:00 - [55] - Quote All duna cares about is his Kills and K/D ratio. A couple months ago I saw milkman and duna tank off with each other and it was endless. But with help from Nyain, milkman barely kicked duna's ass and duna hopped out and ran away. I kicked his ass Tank vs. Tank with CLON TOXIN. He has no idea what's going on around the map (Ex: I'll call in a tank and he doesn't even move). I've squaded up with him numerous times. Every hour he invites me with mail ("squad ?") nonstop. I don't want to block him because I'm not a *****t. I did squad up with him a couple times and I've seen what his plan is. Just like the above replies, duna gets a tank, blows it up, hides with ck.0 and proto cloak with Thales. But he always wants to squad up with me... Plus: I thought he was Japanese... turns out he's Russian! :P And duna either likes women a lot or he is a woman because his character is a girl and his PSN is a girl... But duna does not care to play Dust 514 correctly. He just wants the hype. No skill behind it (like a lot of other players). ^.^
