Once the dust settles, the numbers will rise again.
Having put the hours into Destiny, I can confirm it is not a substitute for Dust and never will be. |

It is still early in the morning here in the U.S.A. Check again in around 6 hours when school is out and people begin to come home from work.
That being said, I think Destiny will keep some people from Dust for a little while; for the next 2 - 4 weeks we will probably notice fewer players on that usual. After that the number will rise slowly back to normal.
... I'm being a bit optimistic in saying that. We will permanently lose some players for Destiny, but in the end, we all knew that would happen as newer FPS's get released.

A SP refund would solve all of these issues .
I'm tell you , all of these " anti " players will see that because there's nothing here to see and keep fooling yourself about Destiny because just because you don't like it ... you really don't understand what that game could do to Dust no matter if your a fanboi of Dust , that game and at this time ... right now is just too dangerous .
CCP you need to amp up your game and do the right thing .
Keep this environment interesting .
Delta should come with a SP or infantry SP refund so that a campaign for one is not needed .

Destiny is alright but the experience is wholly different, particularly the lack of verbal coordination and wisecracking that goes on here (having a midget narrator reading his corny lines as if to preschoolers doesn't cut it). Planetside2 probably has a better chance of putting a fork in Dust, CCP's bungling and player abuse aside.

Here is a few statistics.
in the last 24 hous the peak number of dust players was 3350 at 00:05. in the last 7 days the peak number of dust players was 4160 on saturday. in the last month the peak number of dust players was 4339 on the 8th of august,

We lost about 400 peak average so about 2,400 players are playing destiney. Destiney takes about 16 hours to beat, for full replay value 3x that number and average play time session is about anywhere from 24-36 days. Some players are apparently already back from destiney after binging on it on the first day or where sorely disappointed. Overall the dent is excessively small in comparison the whole picture.
Planetside 2 has suffered very similar losses though Destiney is not to blame there and this is based on steam only client. The losses have been happening two weeks before.
Counterstrike Global Offensive has gained players during the launch weak with only a notable down time spike and nothing more.
Borderlands 2 has lost about 5,000 players but the losses started a week before launch as well; there was no major updates or competition updates launch around the loss time to explain why. Destiney may have had impact before launch day in preparation.
US holiday didn't seem to uptick the play either for many of these games.

It looks to be about a loss of 600-800 average concurrent, which honestly isn't that bad for a game as supposedly "earth-shattering" and such a dust-killer as Destiny. Like it's been said, after a week or two destiny will grow stale and a lot of those people will come back. I don't doubt that they'll come back in lower numbers than before, though.

stop fan boying over destiny it's not that good.. it will kill dust but not because it's good, destiny is good because it's Mcdonaldized gaming at it's worst at a vulnerable time for the consumer.. see bigmac + fancy wrapper divide by drool factor = no palate.

those people who go to destiny as a substitute for dust will be disapointed..
it's a case of mistaken id. destiny is a pve game with a side of pvp, which they lure you into playing for better gear in the pve.. their method of earning cash will be expansions to the story etc, it has a ten year plan atm to keep us into the pve.. the devs said they intend it to be a game that you can just pick up after a day at work, etc.
that is not the case here at dust.. dust is an fps which takes real effort and thought, even if it did have a pve it would be the add on. pvp would of always been the main staple. their method of cash gain is through boosters, weapons, suits, etc
dust is not a game that you can just pick up and play. you need a good long run at a day on dust.
the main attraction here though is being able to chat to lots of other people at the same time it's social side is still unmatched.. that is what does and will keep us playing.
to ccp and cpm1 i will just say keep playing to your strengths and there isn't much to worry about.
i love both games and will continue to play both. they are completely different games. the fps is just surface stuff, look a little deeper folks..

I was really big ranter before and yup i think Destiny is awesome. But we should be more objective.
Dust was planed like something MAGish multiplayer game in space of EvE. If its or not, right now it is. Its not big like MAG just because its not have MAGs team and even more important its dont have MAGs servers. Thats reasont why not massive player count (no some PR nonsence like Ps3 cant make it). Destiny is great game, because have something what devs from CCP dont have. And thats few thingies.
Destiny have great design and colour palet (hell you can see planets moving on the sky-check MARS moon/meteor or whats in its sky) with awesome PvE settings and basicaly really balanced squadmaking. Dust have great skill tree and LORE, what is honestly most (in my eyes) core thingie in game.
These two games are still different, but honestly if CCP will fix Dust in squad making, in shooting and balance some stuff. It can be still awesome game.
But what actually bugs me is that thing, what was told on evefest. If there will be only fixes and no upgrades (like racial stuff), what will catch players here?! We already see outflow of player, i remeber time when it was 6k, later it was 4k (around 1.6 and .7) and after destiny release its around 2k count.
If CCP balance issues and start with thigies what was told long long time before, they actualy cant lose. They will defo have inflow again, now it mostly alts.
I still dont know why they actually wanted that PC port of dust. If they stuck with us and finish the job, they will have more and more player and no only us (the SM adicted fanatics XD). Now it seems like dust is sent to oblivion of time, but honestly i still belive. Because i dont thing they want to lose anything what they build in that years, they are basicaly near to finish it in good way. Many thingies was already resolved, but without any kind of communication and transparency its like believing.
I like if i know and there i dont know anything, im really tired of trying and believing in some flying castles, in my eyes if they tell us:"Oki boyos we working on this and when we finish that, you will have some of implements." i will be grand and fine. But right now, im still here just because my friend and no to active (because CCP).
Its likereally wierd if you like and hate something, but its defo my story about dust.
If someone from CCP will read this, just fix the stuff, implement rest and you will have player (what equals money). Yup its that simple.

The major factor that contributes to players lose in Dust is school/work as those take propriety in ones life over all,we saw the same thing happen a year ago,the only difference now is that there are MORE factors contributing to the games decline such as other F2P games on the psn in direct competition with dust in the same demographic and genera,along with big release also in the same demograhic and genera such as destiny.
Everyone should be able to see the patterns,it's over, just seeing CCP needing to up out XP events to generate money when numbers get low should tell you something is up.

Keep in mind that professional critic reviews always differ from the player reviews. This is because professional critics have a ton of gameplay experience and know how to avoid bias in their reviews. Regular players on the other hand are more prone to bias despite their gameplay experience.
EDIT: Again, I'm shocked that Bungie failed to live to the hype. They made such a great game like Halo with excellent pvp gameplay. The storytelling part is no surprise though because the early versions of Halo didn't have a good story until 343 Industries took over.

Incorrect.
There is a hell of a lot of people who do not like aim assisted pve centric gaming with a measly 6v6 or 8v8 pvp.
I'm playing planet side 2 and have a ps4 where i shall be playing it there when it drops.
By youre logic, most people are too broke to even get a semi decent gaming rig right?, wrong, a lot of people do not like pc gaming.

There is nothing wrong with being poor or broke and playing a free game... unless you are so broke you can't feed yourself. Not everyone can have such a lavish lifestyle. Everyone who is still here has their own reasons for being here. Also not everyone is an adult here. If I were 10 years younger, I'd be waiting for christmas before my family could have afforded to get me destiny and that is with one parent working 2 jobs and another one being disabled.
Gaming is a luxury not a need so it doesn't matter where you game. As long as you have fun.
I would have been fine with your post if you left out the first paragraph. because what I can surmise from that is that it makes you sound a little racist and rude.

explain why cod sells so much then. it is only 6v6 and has aim assist. while i hate cod, i have to admit, the game sells. developers do not care about your standards. they want to make a game that appeals to masses of people not a certain niche. it is about money. you are fooling yourself if you think otherwise.

Marketing is king. CoD spent 1 billion dollars just shipping retail copies. They had Eminem make a song for them... Had Monster energy drinks endorsements.. They spent roughly 1.5 billion Marketing CoD Ghost.
Activision spent 500 million Marketing Destiny.
CCP Spent 1-2 million Marketing DUST. In 3-4 years. |

I know it's all about the money and that's what makes destiny so bad on many levels, including the content.

So 1.5 billion for a seriously sht game.

Wow, talk about rose tinted glasses. Odd that you don't have enough time in the day to play Destiny but got time to come over to the forums and spew your opinion.
All bitter ex girlfriends talk about their new boyfriends like he's Clark Kent. Until the luster wears off, she realizes we don't care and he's just a regular guy that you met at a dive bar.
The truth of the matter is, the presentation as far as graphically is nice but the game in itself? It's quite disappointing. I expected so much more but Destiny falls short. I'm the type of player who is motivated by the story and Destiny's story is non existent.
And for such a grand scale of a game, the missions sure does feel like tacked on fetch missions from games generations ago. Fetch part for next mission to have this. Defend Ghost while he hacks. Investigate area, don't die and face boss. Then the level cap is at 20?
It comes across flat. Honestly speaking, I expected more from Bungie and I'm not just saying this to be saying. I was really looking forward to Destiny but it feels a bit kiddish in alot of ways. Like it could go further with the story but it feels like a Disney film with your run of the mill missions. When a friend invited me over to play Halo, I was sold instantly. I knew I had to get an Xbox just to play Halo.
With Destiny, I've been on the fence. At the moment, I'm not sure about throwing 60 bucks down for that game. I just don't see it right now. It didn't grab me like I thought it would or even trigger my response to come even remotely close to duplicate what I felt about Halo. And I'm not comparing the two. But when Bungie talked about what they were doing with Halo, they delivered. They talked about what they are delivering with Destiny. And the first outing didn't really deliver.

Destiny is kind of meh. Im already bored with it. The story mode felt rushed and incomplete. The current patrols, and strikes get old after doing them once. The pvp can be fun, but there are those stupid special abilities such as golden gun that are insane. I am probably going back to BF4. |

Nearly every complaint you hear about a console player's negative feelings of PC gaming is completely around cost. Not just the cost of a budget gaming rig... That initial cost isn't that much more then a PS4... It's more the cost and expertise needed to upgrade and maintain a gaming rig. Even PC gamers for life can struggle with this.
I have a 3 50 BR characters for each race in Planetside 2... It's not a very long term appealing game unless your completely with the social aspects of making an Outfit and playing with platoons of peers in organized strategies. Solo play is abysmal.
And lets be clear... The Aim assist on DUST and the ability of it to lock onto targets long enough to provide sustained fire to kill them Is no different then Destiny's... Destiny has 1-2 shot kill ability with nearly every gun, That aim assist was put in place so casual players could compete with the High skilled twitch players as 1-2 shot = death from them.
DUST gives aim assist becomes it assumes people can't aim for themselves. Not to compete in a twitch environment.
Worst is DUST HAD no aim assist for a year.... Then one random patch they put in the bottom of the Dev blogs a 8 word sentence about aim assist addition.
As far as Aim assist on PVE in Destiny? "Yes, you can turn off aim assist. That will get rid of the assisted aim tracking. That does not get rid of the hit detection on shot assist that comes with your weapon's accuracy stat. <---- All DUST should of ever got. |

Honestly destiny is great game, end of story. If gamespot see quality in coridorish shooters and not in game, where PvE and PvP is GOD, that somewhat really fishy (maybe the didnt received some "greenies" from devs). And finaly users, you still must count with people who actually feel bad blood with Ps3 (xboxers what basicaly dont received few minor thingies and sour pc players what basicaly dont like consoles). I played and still playig destiny and honestly, there is great fun if you playing with your clan/friends. For someone alone it cand be hard grind (if you take a look on higher levelish raids). But overall i will gladly recomend destiny to anyone, what i honestly cant do with dust 514.
Both games are different, lore, technics etc. But if you are player and you like fun, destiny in my eyes is winner here.
Its quite sad, i like dust, but i hate it too. But all that thigies what is here wrong/noworking/not finished just taking dust 514 down. But i still believe, there will be in future 1.9 and maybe even 2.0. If not, we basicaly count with destiny like with another nail to coffin of dust514. But the major ones are not other games (gta or destiny), major nails to this cofin are basicaly thingies by CCP. Sadly but true, but how i told i still believe there will be something what helps. But withot any info from devs, its still only my subjective believe.
Nothing else.

Interesting read. I wouldnt put too much faith everyone will come back to dust, alot of people have left the PS3 entirely with Destiny and upgraded to the PS4 (the traitors)
As a youtuber its pretty much only my love of Dust that keeps me here and making vids (only a few of us left now and they aint getting great views...) The buzz around Destiny is quite insane and given the high level content is now ramping up with strikes raids and other suspiciously MMO style things, i would say that the attachment to the Destiny character is far greater than that of the Dust chappie. This could be a big issue.....
Million clone events are fine to grab peoples necks and shove them repeatedly back into Dust but there has to be tangible change within the game that at least shows there is something here worth staying for.
New guns, suits, bpos are not that thing. We have a wardrobe filled with toys and no real way to enjoy them other than constrained and stifled matches following the same 'capture this' 'kill that' format across the same small handful of maps.
CCP should have made new maps or new game modes their no.1 priority if they wished to maintain a healthy level of population but without these fun new places and ways to use our toys, were playing in the same room with the same people over and over until the lights go out.
Makes me so sad to see how well Destiny is being pushed compared to Dust, the social aspects, the free roaming, the multiple levels of difficulty, fighting giants etc. its all great new and innovative stuff, sure it kinda sucks across alot of other areas and is not a prodigy of gaming that it seems to think it is, but it is a HUGE distraction that once you are invested within will ensure many hundreds of Dusters will likely never come back (or cant due to PS4 upgrades)
I listened to the biomassed podcast this week (also to hear Bamm **** it up a bit) i heard a huge amount of talk about numbers, mechanics and very detailed stuff, none of which really matters to the game holistically, that seems to be CCPs focus as well, insanely focused on balancing, numbers and details, they fail to see the game as a whole just isnt that big or exciting when compared to Destiny......
Oh well, sorry for the ramble, guess i still care alot about Dust but despair at the way its going. |

New guns, suits, bpos are not that thing. We have a wardrobe filled with toys and no real way to enjoy them other than constrained and stifled matches following the same 'capture this' 'kill that' format across the same small handful of maps.
CCP should have made new maps or new game modes their no.1 priority if they wished to maintain a healthy level of population but without these fun new places and ways to use our toys, were playing in the same room with the same people over and over until the lights go out.
Makes me so sad to see how well Destiny is being pushed compared to Dust, the social aspects, the free roaming, the multiple levels of difficulty, fighting giants etc. its all great new and innovative stuff, sure it kinda sucks across alot of other areas and is not a prodigy of gaming that it seems to think it is, but it is a HUGE distraction that once you are invested within will ensure many hundreds of Dusters will likely never come back (or cant due to PS4 upgrades)
I listened to the biomassed podcast this week (also to hear Bamm **** it up a bit) i heard a huge amount of talk about numbers, mechanics and very detailed stuff, none of which really matters to the game holistically, that seems to be CCPs focus as well, insanely focused on balancing, numbers and details, they fail to see the game as a whole just isnt that big or exciting when compared to Destiny......
Oh well, sorry for the ramble, guess i still care alot about Dust but despair at the way its going. Dude they d Said they fixed matchmaking so I got on dust for 30 minutes when push comes to shove doesn't even matter destiny is fun ..dust is not..dust is work

No lie destiny has allot of the same issues dust has..and dust has plenty of features destiny lacks...but destiny is fun...dust us boring and infuriating .Most people who play it hate it. Sure I hate destiny sometimes but I have fun much more consistently than I rage..unlike dust

After Destiny, it'll be Hardline queued up.
That being said, Dust is only good for 1 thing: PvP with a puny third-world, DSL using playerbase.
Dust killed Dust, one poorly mapped update after another.
"Laser focused" on playing Destiny.

If only dust's gameplay was as fluid as destiny...
Dust has a much deeper gameplay in terms of PvP. Far more tactical and innovative then Destiny' s arena style shooter BUT because of the constant terrain glitches that have been present since closed/open beta, lag in terms of random spikes and imo rather shotty hit detection coupled with their ridiculous bullet magnetism, I'll stay with Destiny for awhile even with their assisted tracking that happens from time to time.
I absolutely hate the three man fire team set up as it limits and alienates many friends, but with raids now happening at least you can get a group of 6 together and have a go with figuring out puzzles and mini bosses together at a higher level of difficulty then regular missions/strikes.
No game is perfect. As a player you need to decide what's more important for your tastes and ENJOYMENT as this is why we all invest money and time into video games.

Agreed.
I have a decent gaming rig and a ps4 with all the next gen games with premium.
I simply dislike everything about destiny except for the graphics.
The PvP in dust is brilliant despite all of what you stated about the bugs etc. Other games have my options laid out for me with many restrictions but I dust, I can play my way.
I also play planet side 2.
Well that was spiffing!.

Nirwanda Vaughns wrote:Its always been about 2000-3000 the number we see when we log in is the total for tranquility including EVE Online players too LOL!! Nirwanda said it right, but apparently everyone seemed to walk right over it. The number was modified very early after the May release last year--to reflect a GRAND TOTAL of players logged into Dust 514 and EVE-Online at the moment that you are logging in.
With the exception of Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 to 20:00 US eastern time, I have seldom seen this number rise above 3000 logged in. It spikes when there's a player event in our game (5100 or so?) but also probably when there's a player event in EVE's gaming too, and we Dusters just don't follow as much when those events occur.
It "boosts" and "sags" in waves that probably have more to do with which Server population is going to sleep now, and if the next timezone is being handed over to a responsive or a latency-plagued Server next, and which next Server population is just getting home from school, and which Server population wants to play--but really needs to finish their coffiee and get their behinds to the office.
And in spite of regular attempts by some players to be gloomy, even at 03:00 US eastern on a Monday (back to work/school), I've only seen it drop to slightly above 2000.
When it shows 1800, etc, I know it's a Server or PSN crash coming up, and I'm next to lose my connection.
Hey, I would LOVE to read a statistics or study of the Log-in numbers over a typical week. I'm sure CCP has something like that, and it would be as interesting as the first time you were able to see the Day-Night timezone progress on a realtime Earth surface.
Seriously, I'd enjoy it. I know it's nowhere as simple as "oh, we just got a whole new generation intested in Dust!--or--Ugh, the game popularity is at an all time low!"
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...

It is funny.
- I am not really a console player.
- I play EVE online since 5 years.
- I am not really interested about Dust.
- Yet I feel curious about Destiny
Something is probably wrong...
P.S.: And lol for the guy in the thread who claimed that a game PC does not cost much more than a PS4. My video card costs more than a PS4, he he |

That is a subjective opinion, and as such is very much debatable. So calling your opinion end of story is gross hubris.

And that is because you chose to go to that degree of performance. A more frugal customer could get 75% of the performance for 25% of the cost.

Yes; sucks playing the bad guy doesn't it? They certainly got the villain narrative completely wrong.
