No man. Those things won't bring all the older players back. I'm not against a respec, but if I get it, I simply won't use the SP, because I just dont gaf anymore.
I'm an older player. Been playing since the closed beta. I quit this game. I only play this game, to show love for LEGION.
I hate Dust 514.
I hate it with a passion.
This game is so broken by so many standards in FUNDAMENTAL ways:
1. Hit-scan sniper rifles - fine in games with small maps like CoD,
very bad in games with big maps like Dust.
2. Horribly erratic TTK - due to numerous, unnecessary, arbitrary, game-breaking variables; which in turn create FOTMs and other frustrating scenarios.
3. Awful aiming and sensitivity mechanics. - You simply turn too slow; and the nerfs to mouse and keyboard are unforgivable.
4. Awful movement mechanics. - Can't vault over railing. Heavies STILL can't step up on to a street curb. Can't trigger inertial dampers at will to save your life. GJ.
5. Erratic hit detection - sometimes seems to depend on input type ds3 or kb/m, but it works when it wants to.
6. No weapon customization - when the developer says you can't change the sight on your gun, that makes people upset.
7. CCP's way of dealing (or NOT dealing) with these issues in the PAST. - e.g. 'sniper rifles are broken, so lets design the maps to lock them away from important objectives.'? That's like saying 'cars pollute too much, so lets destroy the roads.'
So yeah, I hate Dust.
But I am still sold on the
VISION OF DUST.
I still have faith in what this game COULD BE, or rather what Legion could be.
I expect to see Legion play like what I saw at E3 in 2011.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKtYqWBR7h0I expect to fight for "control of a Skyfire battery", and to go and support allies "pinned down in a control room". I expect people to die in a timely manner like at 0:30 and at 0:48. I expect to see scary dumbfire RPGs with shell shock effect like at 0:40, forcing people to take cover. I expect to see tactics win a fight, and not FOTM.
You need to go into battle either being fkin afraid to die (because of your fancy proto), or not giving a shlt (just like the merc sounds with his dialog. PAY MY PRICE.).
CCP can only make the game they advertised if they tell the crybabies and tards to get out the way. Why should CCP gaf about whether or not you like Dust as it is? Why should they care whether or not you don't want to buy a PC? What they have right now is a pos and they know it.
I want the game I saw in THAT trailer. THAT is the game I expected to play. Not the pos we have today.
The game HAS to play like the vision we saw at E3 or BETTER. That's what attracted us to it. Not what it is today.
CCP can take as much time as they need to get Legion
right. I am patient.
If they make Legion play like what I saw in that trailer or better... I will come back and pour money into their game. I will drop Destiny and even Star Citizen in a heartbeat.
So yeah, I
hate Dust, but I will always love the vision. If Legion delivers on that vision, then I'm all there. Otherwise, I'm out, because there are much better games.
